A good day then? :)

;) :d ;)

LOL! I was a very proud owner of a 110", loved it to bits...no really to bits! It ate: 2x rear props 2x front props leaked oil from the transfer box constantly had in 1 year 2 set of tyres Rear door Heater control lever and heater control cable 1x turbo breather 2x air filters 1 x radiator one...

:confused: Sorry guys, but guess I'm missing something here or simply not seeing it. :confused: I've found that holding the unlock button down triggers the back window to open! Press to unlock the drivers door, press again to unlock all the doors, but hold the unlock button down and the...

Hey Will, I was searching around (for a potential upgrade for my sump guard/under tray) and came across this: Land Rover Freelander 1.8 16v Engine Mounting Bracket, KKU105860 | eBay & Engine Mount Rear Lower Tie Bar KKH102260 Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts...

I read a post in this forum I think that poked fun, and rightly so, at a modified Freeby...green...lowered... god it was rubbish. This one I think is a better option: 2000 Land Rover Freelander MSPORT RALLY CAR ex COLIN MCRAE | eBay :cool::D

No worries! For what its worth, I'm thinking an ebay special, 'spares or repairs' auction or wheel nut sale would a be place to get the missing parts purchased! Drop an update with a few pics when you get they bits fitted!

Hi Will, Took a bit of digging, but I think I've found what they are ! part of the Torque Tamper assembly... Take a look, have a read here: How to fit Torque Tamer bushes. - MG-Rover.org Forums Putting them back may help the feel of the Freeby!

:o:mad::o:mad::o Great! I re-checked the OBD port (this time removing it from the bracket to get a better look at it) and counted the right row in the right direction ....&... found a wire is attached to Pin 5! :o Hippo, you say re-trying the connection seems to make your work. I've tried...

Hi Tom, guys, I've been doing some research into ODB readers and Freelanders, for my own Freeby! (HDC is not coming up when I engage it....:confused:) Anyway, depending on year and fuel depends on what ODB version you have, the generic code readers will work so long as you modify your Freeby...

Thanks fo the confirmation baptista and follow up freelance! 5 bolts (2 being the airbox, so much easier with that removed) 3 clips ... sorted. The slave had clearly shattered, what was interesting was to see what was left of the bracket! Not much at all! £47 later (new Clutch system...

Clutch slave cylinder shattered! It never rains does it then just like that monsoon!:eek: Driving home from work a small matter of about 25miles, mostly country lanes! I go to change to 3rd pedal goes to floor and stays there, I'm stuck in 2nd! I had in my mind the pedal had un hooked...

hmm.... no it wasn't changed, I'll look into it a little later. It would be a shame to put all that into the car to then mess it up because of a dodgy thermostat!

Well the Freeby has been running for a while now, no probs at all! So much quieter, smoother and the power (yes here is some in these) is back, very nice drive! Oh and anothing thing to add to the fix list... ......hand brake froze, had to replace the shoes! and all just in time for the...

A little odd that's for sure! Take the cam carrier off to get at the lifters, and I have pressure in all pots! (The valves now close) :mad:

ggrrr!!:mad::mad: I'll add 'Hydraulic Lifters' to this list!! So head gasket popped, what was done (...so far): Head was skimmed. Installed with new uprated HG. New head bolts Inlet manifold studs renewed. Exhaust manifold studs renewed. Water pump replaced. Air Filter Oil filter...

Well it was always gonna happen...when it was new I had thought! but 12 years in, was a shock! Holy 'anna original paper thing pointless stupid daft head gasket! :doh: I thought it had had the uprated gasket fitted, clearly not! So head skim, cam belt and new water pump should see it through...

Bugger! ... Head gasket finally popped! :eek: After changing the inlet manifold gasket and having fun with the inertia switch, and getting the Freeby back on the road the head gasket gave up! Ho hum... took it apart, skimmed the head just annoyed.:(

lol, ah yes the old 'nut behined the wheel' problem!! With my Freebee being no longer trusted by the wife, it's days are numbered! So I see my choices as, replace it, I'm up for that, or put in the garage do some modification as required and have some fun with it. Kind'a double edge sword...

;) Aston Martin closing historic factory A lovely building to drive past when I go home. Acts as sales office now! (I can dream can't I :p) On the other side of the road the road there is this: Panoramio - Photo of History: Aston Martin Lagonda at Newport Pagnell .....soon to be a museum...
