    Do you regret buying a Freelander?

    I love my '99 K series FL. Bought it with 102 k on the clock. Needed some tlc but I found it easy to work on. It still has some niggles to iron out and it's in 2WD at the mo due to a shot VCU. I'd buy another but I'll stick with FL1. Maybe a V6 next time.

    PR2 Dayco Timing belt

    Greetings Sourced this timing belt for my K series from Land Rover Parts Shop . Com at £14:02 + VAT. It's cheaper than the tensioner. I'm used to paying around the ton for a timing belt kit. Has anyone used these belts? I don't fancy connecting the timing gear together with a toothed elastic...

    Replacing solid discs with vented

    RIP both lol I figured it would be expensive with new stuff but I'm surprised how reasonable they are. Do you have any idea what size spacer to use, just 'till my wallet stretches to the new wheels? Wanted some alloys to replace the steel ones anyway but I have other bits to buy first - UMPH...

    Replacing solid discs with vented

    Greetings my trusty '99 K series hippo is fitted with solid discs. Can I fit vented discs and the wider calipers on the original hub or will I need another hub? No ABS fitted (halelujah!) I will be towing so I want the brakes to be the best I can make them. Don't fancy using slots or...

    Freelander 1.8 under cooling

    Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried Evans Waterless Coolant? According to the haynes manual my VIN no should have the stat mod but I can't see the can anywhere in the engine bay. If I squeeze the bottom rad hose, the expansion tank level fluctuates. Would it do this with a stat fitted...

    Hub Nut won't come off

    I spent 3 hours bendig half inch bars and splitting half inch sockets. Marina owner came past and asked what I was doing. He lent me a 3/4" socket set. 5 mins job done. The drive shafts from Rimmers were great. My only complaint was having to buy another socket as the new nuts were a different...

    Hi alle Just purchased a pretend Landrover. One day I will own a real one but my Freelander will do for now. I am an ol' fart who lives on a narrow boat on the Huddersfield Broad Canal with my wife and 2 dogs for the past 5 years. It's a minimalist lifestyle but it suits us well. I hope that...
