So a hot brake last week. A pair of new calipers and pins and all bled and tested. Cool with no brake application. Even warmth with gentle brake application. What could possibly go wrong ?? Went to the coast today, not sure why!! On way back brake smell. Both front brakes hot. Pumped pedal a...

Here she is. Brilliant condition. Will be fitting Freelander running gear and making it into a 3 wheel drive off roader. 100cm lift kit and 18 inch wheels. Tricky bit is the uj at the front wheel for power will need some fabrication. Any other good ideas to build in while it is in the design...

Having now got myself a new fangled 2003 facelift Freelander 1, I know that quite a bit changed in the electronics, but does anyone know what the key changes were and what is compatible from pre and post facelift?? ABS module has same ID for reading faults, the security system is different I...

https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/2006-56-td4-automatic.391568/ Bargain !! Road tax band is the issue so for an off roader it is ideal. PM if you want to know more. Thanks.

Silver 5 door TD4 Auto. 133k Excellent bodywork. Some scratches on bonnet only. 4 new tyres. Runs and all good to go. Problem is the higher road tax band. SO if you are looking for an off roader it would be ideal. Checker plate panels on bonnet would cover scratches!! Current MOT expired...

With all the TC and HDC light faults and replacement of brake light switches at our expense. It was interesting to find a recall where LR replace them for nothing !!! https://landroverforums.com/forum/tsb_recall/recalls/land+rover/freelander/2004 Known fault, new design switch and a recall...

The 2003 TD4 Sport which is still on local trips whilst de-bugging and testing is exhibiting 2 new faults which may be related. 1. With ignition on and not started the temp gauge goes to H and the fans run. When the engine starts all is normal again. 2. Flat spot - almost a loss of throttle...

My facelift Sport has got some annoying hard glue marks on the dash top that I would like to change to a good one. Has anyone taken the top off the facelift dashboard - is it even possible? Looks like a separate piece, I am talking about the horizontal plastic that runs across to the speedo...

Rotted 2004 HSE in silver (Zambezi) 5 door. Has the Land Rover standard fitment audio / navigation system, Harmon Kardon amplifier, reversing sensors / module and switch. Also all doors and tailgate are good but would require collection from North Devon (30 mins Jcn 27 M5). Please ask about...

Now I have posted on the 'For Sale - Parts' but no one ever seems to look there ! Having got all that I need of a rotted out 2004 HSE I have some bits that may be of interest and if so please PM me so that it doesn't bog up the forum. Navigation Audio System HK Amplifier Factory fit reverse...

Has anyone successfully swapped the centre grille panel on a facelfit F1? One of my vehicles has the piece missing, looking at the way it has been serviced it looks like it was torn off to get to the front sump cover bolts!! I have a good spare bumper which has a good centre grille panel but...

Picking up a Dec 2003 TD4 Auto Sport tomorrow. Must be one of the first facelifts. 53k from new. Not a runner but worth it for a low miler. Reported alternator failure but we will see !! Looks in very good condition. I think I am right in thinking Sport means 18 inch wheels, lowered suspension...

Fitted new poly bushes all round on my 1.8 5 door F1. OK for a few weeks then squeaky at front. Put 1/4 turn on the snubber nuts and all quiet for a few days then squeaking again. Looking at them in detail they don't have a 'nose' like the rubber ones and seem to be squeaking against the...

I have a Chinese DAB USB Android dongle connected up to an amplified roof aerial. The reception is rubbish but it was cheap as an experiment. If I go to the highest spot on Exmoor it works perfectly ! Has anyone got any recommendations for a good make / model? No one seems to provide RF...

Went to fav pub this year for Xmas lunch. Wanted just one year where we had someone else to do all the work!! Almost there, about an hours drive and battery light flashed. My volt meter showed no charge. Then it came on and off a few times. Parked and had an amazing lunch. Came to drive the...

Hope all have a good Christmas time. Look forward to more support, help and healthy banter next year !! Take care everyone !!

This thread will emerge. I have bought a chinese single DIN Android Head unit and hope to not only make it fit, it has a sliding screen to position it clear of controls. Want to acheive DAB, some useful apps like Torque for diagnosis and also SatNav and phone. Got this far to date !! Just...

Now that I have driven my G4 properly and all electrical engine faults resolved. I noticed the coolant tank liquid has gone a bit darker. A syringe sample shows flecks of black, maybe rubber hose breaking down? Also what looks like copper particles. See photos.

Gradually debugging the G4 ! Front LHS wheel makes a rhythmic dull banging when braking. It's had new discs, pads, poly bushes etc. Checked and double checked everything is correct and tight. Today it did it and I noticed the pedal pulse under my foot. The ABS wasn't needed but when I tried...

Ok you k series experts ! First decent drive in the G4 today. Really pleased with the poly bushed suspension and new brakes. About once a mile it misfires, like a jolt as it runs. No fault codes but mysteriously it shows no misfire cyl 1 & 2 at idle but cyl 3 & 4 show "??" Not sure what this...
