Afternoon all, The time has come for me to sell up and move on. 2004 Freelander TD4 125k miles Winch AT tyres MOT until Sept '19. New VCU by Bell Engineering in Dec '18 Recent service @ 119k. Has been reasonably trouble free and well maintained in my ownership, I've had it 18 months and 30k...

Good morning chaps, Since replacing another rear wheel bearing, I've got another drone o_O . This one has gotten much louder much quicker than the wheel bearing and it doesn't seem to be as easily identifiable in terms of where the noise is coming from. The other thing that throws be about...

Afternoon all, I've had a problem on my FL1 TD4 for a while that I'm still trying to pinpoint. There is a graunching sound whilst under medium to hard braking, sounds like it's from the front. Pads, discs, shoes and drums are all fine. VCU is a refurb unit from Bell only last month, the issue...

I've had my eye on this for years because its just down the road from my in-laws place but never had the balls to give it a go. It's deeper than normal so did a quick recce using my wellies as a depth tester... two wet feet. But it was either go through or reverse a mile back up the road. It...

Afternoon all, I've got a mysterious creak I'm trying to trace on the Freelander. It's not road or engine speed related, can't replicate it by bouncing the suspension but it creaks when accelerating and slowing. Doesn't seem to get any worse with cornering and doesn't seem to get worse over any...

Evening all, I'm planning to install a switch for winch in/out in one of the blanks by the handbrake. The original plan was just to install a generic switch, which measures 32.4mm x 21mm, the blank is 32mm by 19mm, so would need a little trimming but not much. However, when I popped the blank...

Afternoon all, I've got a small ATV winch I intend to discreetly mount on the front of my Td4, inside the standard bumper. Its only max. pull of just over 1100kg so nothing crazy, but it's available at no cost and will still provide some pulling power should I need it. I'm interested to know a...

Afternoon all, I've just changed the tyres on my Freelander so have 2 of the above tyres up for grabs. They were fitted approx. 10k miles ago but still lots of tread left. Not got the vehicle with me right now, but will measure and get some photos tomorrow. Along with DoM etc. The tyres can be...

Afternoon all, The rubber seal inside my brake fluid cap is missing and looks like I'm getting a bit of brake fluid leaking out. It is a Land Rover only part or is it common amongst other vehicles? I imagine it's easier to source a new cap with seal than just the seal on it's own?

Morning all, I've had a drone that's gotten progressively worse over the last few weeks, I narrowed it down to n/s rear wheel bearing. Bearing purchased by reg from ECP (top link): https://www.eurocarparts.com/wheel-bearing-and-wheel-hub, however I didn't check it against VIN. I noticed they...

How are the towbars fitted, as standard, on Disco 1's? Are they bolted or welded to the chassis? How 'removable' are they?

It's sitting on my grandad's courtyard, he's going to scrap it unless I can convince him to give it to me to (hopefully) restore. I don't know what it is (think it's a 2a) but this is the only photo I have of it... well, a bit of it.

My retired grandad has a very old and neglected Series 2a (I think, not seen it in a while)... which he is planning on scrapping. I'm trying to convince him to give it to me for restoration (Don't know what I'm doing, but would be a long and teaching experience). Is there anyone who can...

Hey guys, I've been a member on the forum for quite a while, but I'm in no position to give any advice. Basically my intentions are to buy a Disco 1 in Feb. time (or when I can afford it) but I'm just reading up on anything LR here to get a head for it all. Just to learn all the little...

Does anyone know where I can find the official statistics given by Land Rover for the Disco 1, things like angle of attack, depature, all the numbers it could do straight out of the factory. I'm just interested to see how it compares and what LR say it could do, totally standard.

Hey all, First post here. I've always wanted a Landy 90 I've just left school so I'm planning to get some money together and buy an MOT failure, and restore it before I start RT (I'm going into the Marines in Dec/Jan). So basically I have until the end of this year to buy and restore a Landy...
