    Freelander 1 Bye Bye Freelander, hello Rangie

    So after nearly 3 years of reliable service I bade farewell to our 2003 1.8 petrol Freelander. Somewhat sad as it was a good old bus but we needed something a bit bigger and more comfortable for long journeys. Replacement is a 2005 L322 Range Rover. I do hope it's not out of the frying pan...

    L322 Swirl Flaps

    Can I assume that the BMW 3.0 Diesel engine fitted to the Range Rover has the same swirl flap disintegration issues as when it's fitted to a BMW? If so then I think I'll be doing the blanking plate mod...

    L322 HDC Inactive message on starting

    Hi all. I've recently bought a 2005 L322 Range Rover Vogue and have noticed that from time to time when starting her, the systems 'bongs' and displays a 'HDC Inactive' message. The HDC actually works fine and I have read through various posts on this forum and they seem to point to the fact...

    Freelander 1 iCarsoft scanner issue

    I've just bought the 2nd generation iCarsoft LRii diagnostics scanner to use on my Freelander 1 (2003 1.8 petrol) but it doesn't seem to be able to communicate with my engine ECU (mems3). It will communicate if I use it in generic OBDII mode but obviously you then have some limitations. The...

    Can the clutch biting point be adjusted?

    I have a 1.8 petrol hippo which had a clutch change just over a year ago. In the last couple of weeks it has started to 'crunch' slightly when changing gear (usually into 2nd or 3rd). Selecting 1st at a standstill seems fine The clutch pedal biting point is fairly close to the floor so I am...

    2003 1.8 petrol - which ECU?

    Hi All, I was wondering which Engine Management Unit is fitted to the petrol 1.8 (2003)? Only reason for asking is that I would like to diagnose a misfire on my car and have borrowed a Lynx Diagnostic tool but am not sure which engine Management model to select from the list. The last one...

    1.8 petrol new owner early thoughts

    Thought I would post my initial thoughts and experiences having recently joined the 'green oval' club with a 2003 1.8 petrol ES 5 door. The car was bought as an occasional load logger and transport for me to follow my passion for fishing where venues are often down long, muddy and rutted...

    1.8 coolant leak at rear of engine

    So after just a week or so of ownership... first problem. Yesterday I noticed a small pool of water under the car after a run of 20 miles or so. Sure enough the expansion tank was low so I topped it up. Since then there is a steady drip drip drip which is worse when the car is warm but...

    Newbie tyre question

    Hi All, Just bought my first Landrover (1.8 Freelander) and have introduced myself in the new owners section. I have a question on tyres. Is there a general rule for when the amount of wear on tyres is different between front and rear to prolong the life of the drivetrain. In other words...

    Newbie Freelander owner

    Hi all, Just bought my first ever Landrover which is a 2003 1.8GS Freelander station wagon. Had lots of recent work including updated head gasket, cat back exhaust, clutch and front brake discs and pads. Everything works (at the moment) except that the rear wiper is missing. I'm fully...
