    No Adapter plate either on the freelander engine or the rover engine. I gues it must have been on the rover box but, like most other people I never for a minute thought they would have different blocks for what is essentially the same engine so, unfortunately I didn't look at the Rover box when...

    L series engine in freelander 1

    Hi Steve, thanks for your reply. The bell housing is cast in, it's part of the gearbox. I also thought their might be a difference with the clutch, so before I offered the g/box up I changed the complete clutch from the original engine. I'm 100% it's a block to bell housing problem.WhenI...

    freelander starting problem

    The 'buzzing' sound is normal with the ignition on. Check the feed to and from the ignition switch, they have been known to give probs some times, assuming youv'e had a look at any relevant fuses.

    trace registration from engine number???

    Hi, Unless you know a very friendly police officer/ police employee, the only way to obtain reg number from an engine number is if you have the original chassis number from the vehicle which the engine was fitted to. DVLA don't have the facility to do this. Not sure these days if landrover...

    Hi to every one. Vehicle is a Freelander series 1 with the L series 2ltr Rover engine fitted. Has anyone ever fitted the L series engine from the Rover car? If so are there any issues with mating the Freelander g/box to the car block? As you probably guessed, I've fitted the engine but don't...
