    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Not everything does! Next week I'm back to the rear diff supports, replacing the ones I fitted five years ago! Not original but... "Turning Owners into Mechanics . Land Rover, since 1948!"

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Today has been about the rear doors. OSR door would not open neither using the inside nor outside handle. A quick look on here to find this thread https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-door-stuck.95621/ and 10 minutes later using a slim rounded knife blade to jiggle lock fully on...

    Very many thanks! I've had the same problem on our X plate TD4. Slim rounded knife blade to jiggle lock fully on, then off, and door operation restored. Kindest JSett

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Today was fitting a new window regulator in n/s/f door along with a new (s/h) door lock. Central locking now works on four out of five doors. Just the n/s/r door lock unit to go!

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Today I has mostly fitted a new rear door (tailgate) handle. Not only does the rear door open, but bonus: it also closes when required! Next comes the gas soldering iron to replace the corroded heated rear window connectors. Never a dull weekend with a Hippo.

    Having had a new clutch (and associated bits) fitted this week, today I am mostly investigating why the drivers door window stops one third of the way down its travel. Deep joy!

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Today, I have been mostly doing the rear diff mounts. Thanks all for the helpful hints. I do seem to have dropped, or mislaid, the gear-change thump somewhere.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Temporary fix to windscreen wiper linkage and dried out the tailgate lock mechanism. Had a "someone's been here before" moment when I removed the tailgate trim. Torn inner door liner with loads of 2 inch masking tape!

    Today, I has been soldering those pesky wires to the HDC switch. Added the cable-tie upgrade to try to stop 'em parting company.

    TD4 Clutch Bleed Tutorial

    Many thanks for the top tips. The early (X plate) TD4clutch master cylinder changed today. If it's of interest, I removed an LUK Cylinder, which in six months of ownership always gave a low bite point. Britpart cylinder now fitted, bled using tonic bottle method. Clutch bite point now much...
