Hi all. A friend has jammed the rear false floor web pull handle into the lock latch . The CL is not opening it and the web cannot be pulled free. Any suggestions as to how I can gain access to it or is there another mechanical handle that I can operate to open the hatch ? I intend to go over...

Well after a month short of eleven years ownership our FL1 has gone . The combination of increasing water loss ( possible inlet manifold cracked though ) seized no 1 plug ( ?) imminent clutch replacement and diff + lower arm bushes and an annual increase of road tax to € 730 rendered it...

Reversing lights not working . Checked fuse , OK switch on gearbox , OK , power at switch , OK . No power at rear lights . Diagram shows on early FL1 feed runs from switch through to Header Joint K109 and then to rear lights . I've found three connectors mounted on the NS inner wing but have as...

Had the car 10 years . My wife ran it very low on petrol . .Filled it at a good friends garage so fuel is OK , ran it 3 miles and then it sat for three days unused . She then drove it 16 miles round trip to work where it started to run on three cyl. I discovered it ran it another 5 miles and...

Well this is a saga if there ever was.... January last year the problem started, three amigos on ,system read and faults listed as , Pump failure 1( monitor line ) Pump failure 3 ( pump sticking ) Shuttle valve switch failure . Rear left outlet valve short to ground Rear left outlet valve...

Reversing bulb has gone and went to remove the ns upper lamp cluster . Mine has the plastic "protecters " fitted so after removing torx screws I thought that the pillers underneath would unscrew out to remove lamp but no they just kept turning. Dark out there now so will go to it in the morning...

I've just had to replace the 10 month old exhaust centre section that I bought from Eternal (:hysterically_laughi) Exhausts on E bay which had split around the silencer end flange . Fortunatley I had a genuine LR spare but the thing that's really annoying me is the rasp that is emitted on load...

Right ,I'm trying to avoid fiscal ruination rectifying the 3 amigos laughing at me each time I use the car. Recently fault code interrogation revealed the recently replaced Wabco ABS pump had failed again on the same , but different end , shuttle valve failure as the original. After searching...

The wiper mechanism has been clanking away for some time on the '99 FL1 so I took it off to examine it. Found the linkage sockets (and therefore possibly the drive ball ends too ) worn along with the plastic cup washers which are split and worn . Greased them thoroughly but no good . Options...

I'm begining to question the viability of non original equipment parts after finding the ARB drop links shagged after 8 months and 4.5 K miles . They replaced a set that lasted 8 K miles and 14 months , both FAI manufactured. On top of this whilst under the car today fitting new a new cat...

Anybody used this component manufacturer ? FASTORIGINAL.IT - ENGLISH - MAINPAGE I see no address , telephone no. or country of origin on their site :confused: A local supplier has their wishbones in stock .

Right all I need to replace both front wishbones on my FL1 and want to replace the rearmost bushes too. After searching I see that these are a bugger to remove and refit into the alloy casing but the difference in price between the bushes alone and the combined bush and casing is too great to...

Well after the vengeful return of the 3 amigos I had the car interrogated tonight ! The problem is intermittent and after checking all out as far as I could ( see http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/freelander-abs-reset-57769-3.html ) it was interesting to see what was thrown up. Mine is the...

This problem surfaced recently and after investigation found that the HDC switch had had a crude spliced repair causing an intermittent connection. Anyway , they're back again ,coincidently after I power washed underneath and around all four hubs prior to NCT /MOT test . The repaired wiring can...

Awaiting 2 pairs of inner and outer solid lower rear link bushes from John Craddock . After JC totally ****ing me off quoting and charging me for genuine LR items they have come back after 2 days wanting more money saying they are out of stock of the genuine items but can supply Britpart...

Had the three amigos appear last week but my dear wife didn't think to tell me :mad: and I only discovered them when I was checking car over for it's NCT ( MOT ) . Had to cancel test as the ABS lamp permanently illuminated is an instant fail. Took it up to a friends garage this evening to...

I've looked at RAVE and it only shows details of replacement catch and cable and searching only threw up replacement again so I ask is the bonnet release cable adjustable on the FL1 ?

Found antifreeze on the passenger footwell under the ducting, not much but it's a certainty that it'll be the heater matrix. Best to do it now before we get back into the cold weather again so I've looked at the RAVE manual re removing the dash and although a little complex it seems doable...

I need to replace the bulbs for the heater,fan and direction control knobs . Just called my nearest LR dealer to get them to send out some ,which is 45 miles away , but no answer I suspect they are bust as last time I passed the showroom it was virtually empty. The Rave disc says they are 1.2...

I need to replace the bulbs that illuminate the heater controls . Rave suggests that the front & rear consoles ,radio + casing ,heater controls and switchpack have to be removed to accomplish this , is that right ? Seems a great deal of surgery to replace a couple of bulbs .
