Because I haven't had the opportunity to try FL1 when it was new, it would be interesting to learn how the rear door operated when the gas strut was new? When I bought mine 280 tkm driven 2004 FL1 the strut was extremely stiff. I have lubricated it often and now it's better but still I have to...

My 2004 TD4 FL1 has been running on the cool side all the time I have had it, due to the sticking termostat. Haven't have motivation to change the oem thermostat or doing the inline termostat mod either. Car has FBH and cabin heat has been ok, not spectacular. It's winter here in Finland again...

Was thinking to change both aircon & auxiliary belts to my 2004 TD4 during the summer holidays. Started looking for replacements, would these Meyle parts be the right ones? Meyle 050 005 0875 (Aircon) Meyle 050 005 2030 (Auxiliary)

Just changed to winter wheels on my FL1 TD4 Sport and started thinking about getting new tyres for those 18" Sport rims. Anybody tried Falken Wildpeak AT AT3WA? Reason behind choosing those is that they are winter rated and living here in Nordics we have true winters and especially long spring &...

Looks like 1 bulb change is half a day job...any tips to get to those bulbs behind the heater knobs?

Will change the brake master cylinder soon and wondering what is best option for the replacement. I have year 2000 Discovery, LHD. Lucas? Britpart? Any recommendations?

Do you know a source (with international shipping) for a boot mat that covers the whole floor to the rear footwell? I have removed the rear seat and using FL1 as a van, so those widely available boot mats are too short.

Finally got Foxwell NT530 Pro tool for my D2 & FL1. Any ideas why I'm not able to switch the suspension to coils? It says my car is currently with Air suspension and let's me do the switch to Coil. But when I go back to the menu, it's still on Air. Tool itself seems to work, I can clear the...

My recent project that I acquired is 2000 Disco TD5 manual. It came with the Warn winch and tray. I'm in belief that those were sold and installed by LR when car was produced and delivered? Winch is fully operational with a remote control.

Last spring I took and built my back drum brakes with new parts. Brakes work well but I have been having problems to get the hand brake adjustment right. It either doesn't hold at all or sticks. Just found from older topics that there are different cables for FL1. The cables I got from Autodoc...

Thought I'll share this for everyone looking to do diff oil change for FL1. Did it once again for mine this morning. If you have done it already, you know that it's a bit tight place to get there because of the subframe and muffler. I'm using a vacuum pump to suck the old oil out through the...

Planning to do VCU replacement this weekend and went under the car to check the tools needed. Both prop ends use torx E12 & E10. My set is 1/2" and socket doesn't fit properly because of the bulge. Have you used 3/8" sockets for these? Have to go shopping first time in the morning..

I'm looking for a set of 15" steel wheels for my 2004 Freelander TD4. There's a guy selling a set of four. Was it so that older steel wheels don't fit later FL1? He says they are 15x5.5 ET46.

I'll be replacing the VCU and bearings soon for my TD4 Freelander. The rear prop shaft will be off so it would be a perfect time to replace diff mounts also at the same time because I'm getting noices when changing gears. Do you know is there quality mounts available? Autodoc got some options...

I bought this FL1 to be my hunting car but it turned into a project. I live in Finland, so this is a left hand drive car. It has 280 tkms in odometer. But who wouldn't love to work with these. I just think that Freelander 1 has some special thing in it. The design is so plain, workhorse like...

Freelander 1 wiper switch / stalk. Do you know a source for these new ones in Europe, preferrably in EU? Ebay has these listed but they are in US and shipping cost is guite a lot + taxes. Mine is working and not working. Seems to have these symptoms in cold when it takes a loooooot of time it...

Hello LR friends, new member from Finland introducing. I happened to buy 2004 Freelander TD4 manual in December. It's primarily my hunting vehicle but as I'm car guy it turned to almost a restoration project. Started with doing back drum brakes and handbrake cables. Ordered a new VCU also to...

FL1 TD4 2004 manual. Back breaks are now done and I moved to clutch problem. First thing is to replace the clutch master cylinder before doing anything else. The place for the master is very tight. I'd need to get my hand to twist the cylinder counter clockwise but it's just too tight for my...

Got a FL1 TD4 project and I'm building the back breaks with all new parts. One question though: which way should the adjuster bar's other end be? It has like two legs and there are longer and shorter one. I built the brakes like the old ones were but that is not necessarily the right way Here's...
