Freelander Owner: March 2009
http://freelanderowner.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Blog about owning and maintaining a Land Rover Freelander. Clutch Master and Slave Assembly Replacement. After having the clutch failure a complete replacement of the clutch hydraulics was necessary. The clutch hydraulics in the 1.8 Freelander is a closed and sealed system. Meaning that if anything fails you have to replace both the slave and the master cylinders. A new clutch hydraulics kit consists of a single part filled with oil and is ready to go. It works once again! Saturday, March 14, 2009. Clutc...

Freelander Owner: Belt change
http://freelanderowner.blogspot.com/2011/02/belt-change.html
Blog about owning and maintaining a Land Rover Freelander. As the Haynes manual states the auxiliary and the power steer belt should be changed every so many miles, also when I start the engine a short squeal is heard. Not a very hard job but I managed to mess this up in a great way. After finding the correct part number for the bolt I ordered and installed a new bolt, power steer belt, auxiliary belt and auxiliary belt tensioner. Job done. Saturday, August 29, 2009. Land Rover Freelander Parts.

Freelander Owner: IRD and engine oil change
http://freelanderowner.blogspot.com/2010/08/ird-and-engine-oil-change.html
Blog about owning and maintaining a Land Rover Freelander. IRD and engine oil change. Since the oil was out I was curious about the state of the pinion. I loosened the nuts on the drive shaft but had trouble removing it from the flange. To get it loose I attached a hose clamp to the CV joint on the drive shaft and carefully tapped it loose.

Freelander Owner: July 2009
http://freelanderowner.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Blog about owning and maintaining a Land Rover Freelander. While the subframe was removed for the chassis repairs I also replaced the rear diff for a completely new unit from Ashcroft. The old unit had worn pinion bearings, and was also the older TVK100380 type. Replacing the diff with the newer TVK000180 type sounded like the better option than rebuilding the old unit. It's a pretty easy job, especially when the subframe is removed. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Freelander Owner: November 2010
http://freelanderowner.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Blog about owning and maintaining a Land Rover Freelander. VCU and Driveshaft Removal. The VCU realy started to stiffen up the drivetrain, to be safe I removed the entire main driveshaft including the VCU and bearings from the car. Removing it is pretty straightforward, just make sure to secure the shafts they are a bit clumsy. I fixed the shafts to the bottom of the car and gradually lowered the enter shaft gradually, being careful not to bend it to much. Sunday, November 07, 2010.

Freelander Owner: Installing a portable radio set
http://freelanderowner.blogspot.com/2010/08/installing-portable-radio-set.html
Blog about owning and maintaining a Land Rover Freelander. Installing a portable radio set. Having a portable radio set in the car should be fun. Every now and then we set out with multiple cars and having an easy way of communication always comes in handy. I did not want to mess around with battery's so I got a cheap radio set including a DC charger base/holder. The power is sourced from the central cigarette lighter, a cable was added and routed beneath the carpet along existing wires the the back of t...

Freelander Owner: Cracked Chassis
http://freelanderowner.blogspot.com/2009/08/cracked-chassis.html
Blog about owning and maintaining a Land Rover Freelander. After a lot of searching on the net about this problem, which is a common one for the early Freelanders, a few causes and fixes turned up for this problem. To access this nut and cage you can pop out a plastic cover in the boot floor, there are at least four of these. But the problem one of the four is always to one on the right side of the car, and the most forward one of the two right one's. Now comes the important part! I found this solution i...

Freelander Owner: January 2009
http://freelanderowner.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Blog about owning and maintaining a Land Rover Freelander. It is advice to rotate all four tyres every 10,000KM. I used the method on the BF Goodrich AT site. This tells you to move the back tyres straight to the front, i.e. back left to front left and back right to front right. The front tyres are then moved to the back but these are crossed; front right to back left and front left to back right. Monday, January 19, 2009. I ordered a new converter from www.thefamousfour.co.uk. The old converter still lo...
