Hi Phil, I's what I have been searching for for days : ) Thank you! : )

love the colour :) will be good as the airsoft wagon ;) I have a plan to paint mine in olive one day ;)

Went for a first "long" trip, 120km (~80 miles) there and back ;) Also got couple of cans of liqui molly diesel cleaner to see if it helps with the white/blue smoke when the engine is cold.

Hi, You can try this "reset" procedure, I didn't try it my self, just came a cross some time ago. https://www.freelanderspecialist.com/freelander-1/fl1-problems/freelander-1-tailgate-window-problems

Asked wife to start it for me so I could observe how much of white smoke comes from the exhaust pipe.

I checked them when fitting filter but didn't disconnect and connect again, only the electrical plug as it was on the way. I don't have a time to put it apart at the moment. I started it this morning hoping it fixed it self over night ;) I noticed that I can feel engine jerking only on high...

Hi, I replaced the fuel filter on Saturday, it worked fine on my way home from garage (the second time, the first was a nightmare but I'll describe it in separate topic as a warning...) Didn't use the car over Sunday, this afternoon when I started it I could feel that it works strange, I could...

Thanks for the tip, last night I disconnected the battery. I'll do the motor today instead and try to recharge.

OK, I didn't realize that it consumes so much it could drain the battery in short period of time. I'll jump start it in the afternoon and see how it goes from there.

Yep, repair kit is on its way to me. What is worrying me is the electrical problem.

I opened the tail door window for the first time, and it dropped down .... now it doesn't want to go up... I removed the plastic cover and the foam to to have a look what happened, looks like one of the metal string is cut and the motor doesn't function, only ticks when I press the up/down...

Crankcase breather done today :)

Have the same in mine, also squeaky noise when turning steering wheel. What I noticed is that the squeaks go if it rains for a long time. Probably moisture gets somewhere and stops it. Please let us know if you find the spot should be greased.

Hi, not my experience, but the guy I bought my from had two labradors, and as far as I know he carried them both.

Thanks for the answer. First I need to read about the things you described :) My first thought about leak no.2 was that the slave cylinder/release bearing is damaged and clutch oil leaks from there. Clutch pedal travel distance is very short. So I thought that might be the reason. The car had...

Hi, On the last job I did on my FL which was the lovely thermostat and o-ring replacement job I had a chance to look under the engine. I've found what I think are two leaks. Could you tell what it could be and if there is a need to do anything with that? 1. there was a lot of oil inside of...

4 hours job, just as you all said. I hope I'll not have to do it again any time soon. And all because of this little sh**

Ok. I have everything set for tomorrow. I ordered spare thermostat and water pump as well in case they're damaged. Not sure if it's worth replacing at least thermostat once I have it disconnected. I checked with previous owner, he did it about a year ago but didn't replaced the o-ring. Thanks...

If I understand you correctly, it should be enough to take the right wheel and the covers behind it to have an access to the bolts ant thermostat? Or just to the bolts.

Thanks for all suggestions. I ordered the parts, now waiting for delivery. Could you tell what kind of bolts I need to get? size and length? I have no manual with the details, I ordered HAYNES book but waiting for the delivery. In the meantime... 1. Do you thing it is possible to do the job...
