    Freelander 1 Freelander sunroof seal

    Shame was hoping could use glass seal off disco 3 if a bit longer I could shorten it it should still join at the cut

    Freelander 1 Freelander sunroof seal

    Hi all does anyone know if the disco 3 use the same sunroof mechanism and glass. As a Freeland 1 2005. Trying to find a seal for the glass on mine. And vaguely remember reading some where that they both suffer same proplems. Which has made me think that both models use the same unit

    Freelander 1 Recon diff or rebuild?

    Oh before I forget check diff casting numbers as the made a change mine was a 47089 casting which is the early one the later ones I think start with 51 on the casting. The later one take a larger bearing. Done to try and make them harder wearing. But from I’ve read it just made the castings...

    Freelander 1 Recon diff or rebuild?

    Hi done mine about 2 months ago. Not that hard to do. Worst part is doing up front pinion bolt. As it needs about 375nm torque. Other than that straight forward. Just make sure all casing is clean and all gearing is in good condition no wear on pinion and crown. No need for dial gauge as there’s...

    Freelander 1 rear diff

    Thought of that but did not want to be throwing 3/4 hundred quid at a 55 plate car. Plus enjoy doing my own repairs. No matter how much swearing blood and sweating it takes and these take it all.

    Freelander 1 rear diff

    Yep all poly bushed torqued to spec. But drivers side inner joint has more play on rotation than near side. New shafts done just before diff bearings. That’s why I’m thinking sun gearing at fault. As said all new pinion bearings and crown carrier bearings all three seals done no leaks at all...

    Freelander 1 rear diff

    Hi thought of that but have already done the worst of it. And actually enjoyed doing it. I’m also a bit obsessed with doing things right. So renewing drive shaft inlet bearings and sun gearing with new seals to replace the new ones I put in when main bearings replaced. No proplem bit of a shed...

    Freelander 1 rear diff

    hi all I have just done a full bearing replacement on my rear diff. Very pleased with myself as all Pinon and crown splines aligned lovely. the sun and planetary gears looked ok. But upon refitting am still getting the same knock if but a lot quieter. So am thinking the sun and planet gears...
