Freelander Great Heater Checking Out Blower Temperatures

Just a quick one of me testing out the air-con and the heater on the Freelander. By just using a simple temperature gauge from evidence, which I have read, working on the fact that if it is 10 degrees outside temperature, then the air-con temperature should be between 5-8 degrees. However, on a very hot day of about 20 degrees the air-con could be about 8 or 9 degrees. In this case, the car air...

Starter or Battery Fault Which Way To Go
Useful information but it would be better if you could get even more basic on the diagnostic side by showing the actual connections for the meter.
What about Merit and distinctions?
Hi iam just doing the same to my mini but I need the bottom and top adapters that you are using, do you have any spare, many thanks Tony
Sorry to say but no, all of the items came with the vauxhall power steering column, as you can see from the videos I welded the mini items to the vauxhall items. The column I used was from a corsa with adjustable tilt, so I just welded it up. Have you seen the rubber donut change to springs, it makes a different car to drive. More vids soon on mini gear ratios changing.
@@orangewatch4488 tha
Thanks for getting back to me, I thought you had made a piece to connected to the bottom of the mini column and the corsa then you had a spline sleeve that connected the corsa and mini together, thanks again Tony
@Tony Aylott sorry you are correct its been a long since I did it, yes it was a machined peace of steel and then welded in.
why is the metal bumper reinforcement shorter onside that the other or is this design
I won't be adding aftermarket crap to the gem I found 😊
Not to sure what you mean
@Orange Watch I saw aftermarket intake etc. maybe that's ruined the flow of the engine
@@azisalive4972 Just low fuel pressure.
car road noise in the background, music in the background, WTF
Many thanks for you reply
This channel deserves more views and subs. Keep up the good work 👍
I have just bough one of theys for a run around and was wondering has it got a timing belt or chain ?
Good old chain, just get in and drive it.
@@orangewatch4488 nice one thanks m8 👍
I have the same problem with my car, but know its not starting also when the engine is warm, the engine runs perfect when it stays on en riding the car.
If you can do what I did by checking the fuel pressure
Hi. Do you have a video of headlight removal on this model please?
No sorry I forgot not, however have a good look under the bonnet I am sure that you can remove the headlamp without removing the bumper.
STARTS
It's nice to watch someone else fix something for a change 🤣
How are you both, its good to see you on your travels. How many engines, should have stayed with vw
By the wat where in the world are you both now.
we're good. Not currently broken down which is a nice change 🤣 Does it count as a new engine if we kept the inlet and only changed the block 🤣. To be fair. The 1st one ran lovely. Was just a bad life choice to drive through a flooded road. The 2nd block was just bad from day 1. The new one seems to be in pretty good nick 🤞
@@orangewatch4488 we just shipped Ruby to South America. We're currently in Colombia, waiting for her to be released from customs.
All the best and stay safe, will keep watching your travels on the tube.
Great instructional video series. Did you have any issue with insurance or were they ok?
None at all, the complete car is insured for what I have done to it.
I got one of those probes in my coolant pressure tester kits, I did exactly the same thing keep swapping from ac to heat to see what the range was
What was your results, hope this has helped.
All I need to do now is get a freelander so I can take its bumper off!
Goodafternoon my bro right now I am working on land rover freelander 2005 with no spark no injector pulse change crank sensor and Cam sensor still no spark no injector pulse just as asking for help
I would go to the engine ecu, and check for powers and grounds. However, with no spark, or injectors, I would first check at the engine ecu for feed from the crank sensor as this is the main trigger input for both spark and injectors. See if you can get a diagnostic tool and check out live data for both. This should point you in the right direction. This is the type of diagnostics which I teach at college. Please keep me informed.
@@orangewatch4488 ok is like checking the signal wire form cranksensor to see if it giving a square wave signal
One more item, check out my video on the nissan micra for checking out injector pulse, this could help to find power at the injectors and if the ecu is grounding the injectors to fire them.
I already check ecu for 12v and check continuity to ground circuit to ecu as well
I check the fuel pump relay as well because of what I know the ecu send negative signal on coil side of the realy to fuel relay and that is there as well
I have a different kind of problem I really have to slam my boot door in order for it to lock ,anybody got any ideas how to fix that thanks
Adjust the boot catch
@@orangewatch4488 thank you how do I locate the adjuster part
I have a feeling that there is no adjustment, its a block of wood and a hammer, if you have to slam it, nock the body catch up.
Okay I'll definitely give this ago thanks
What he is doing..? And what can we see nothyng ..!!?? Where is the focused for camera ?
Française
What’s that sealant fella ya using!! Looks black??? Cheers
Tiger seal from most car shop
could please send me your location or your contact. many thanks
Sorry missed your question, what was it again
Just found your channel and all your vids are great to watch.E specially the Micra fault diagnosis helped me a lot!Good luck .Love your straight forward approach you explain things well for someone like me on a limited budget and a bit of concrete hard standing to work on!
Many thanks for your kind comments, I hope that you enjoy watching my clips, and find them useful. I'm doing a quick survey, could you possibly tell me what area you live in? I'm curious to see how far my channel is reaching. Thank you. I'm going to be loading some new articles soon, following my latest challenge of setting up an electric vehicle training centre at South and city college Longbridge Birmingham.
@@orangewatch4488 Sure.I live in Somerset.And I wish you were my neighbour we,d get on well I can tell!
Nice video, I have questions, I can't see any problem with water pipes near water pump and engine back side of freelander 1.8 petrol, but there is slow leakage , I can see the area is wet and can see coolant drops on floor.
Many thanks for watching this video, the water leak is from the inlet manifold gasket, very common as it will leak water down the back of the engine block, and also into the inlet port giving a misfire, most people think its head gasket when a cheap inlet gasket will do the job.
@@orangewatch4488 thank you 🙏, will do it as soon as possible and revert back 🙏
@@HARDEEPJADEJA sorry for the late reply, teaching and other stuff, but I believe that I have only just seen this. If you still have the water leak check the inlet manifold, there is a water way from the manifold to the head. Really sorry for the late response.
@@orangewatch4488 hi, no problem, the problem was crack in a thermostat housing. I removed thermomstat as kenya is not that colod country.car is working fine now
What is the point of this s*** video
Sounds like you're having a bad day, its all about a water leak. Have a good day.
I've got a similar car. Boot keeps getting stuck and then will be ok again few weeks later. Happens on and off. Garage couldn't sort it out. Sure battery is draining because of this problem
Bit of a pain but disconnect the power to the boot lock and see how it goes. Also do what I did put a meter on the battery to see any battery drain. Hope that the video has helped.
@@orangewatch4488 can you recommend any good meters for battery
Any type of multimeter, but make sure it can do at least 10 amps to measure current drain. Argos do good ones cheap and effective.
Hi Mark! long time no see. its great to see updates of the mini! seems like a lifetime ago you showed us weekly progress at college. I've seen the coffee and doughnuts meets video with the dodgy servo and if its open to everyone, ill bring my motor along and finally get to see the mini in person. hope you and the family are well!
Great to hear from you what are you up to these days how long has it been.
Excellent!! Keep making videos. You should go and take a look at FollowSM . c o m! It is the best way to promote your videos!
Many thanks for the advice
Very informative, thanks for sharing 👍

Many thanks for getting in touch the switch I got direct from Maplins shop at Merryhill shopping centre. But I am sorry to say Maplins have now stopped trading, all that I can recommend is maybe some kind of electrical shop selling micro switches such as curry’s or a computer outlet.
Hi there, thank you for sharing this video, I have the exact same issue! Could you please give me the link of the Switch you baught at Maplin? Thanks you in advance, best regards Ibbe
Its me
Hi sir, how can I found those plugs? How they are called?
The ones I got for this vehicle were from my local Ford dealership, I believe that the two were only no more than £4
Oh, yes they are called cylinder head core plugs
Thank you for your answer, i had to order it from ebay,as I don’t have any ford locally, but on my case is not damaged at all those one are on...still can the leak com from there ?
If you can dry out the cylinder head area and do if possible a coolant pressure test to check for leaks, or run the engine for some time to create water pressure. Next check for leaks, be careful of starting rad fans and hot engine parts. Could the leak be from some where else, just for my records for viewing what country are you from.
Merry Christmas Mark Have a Wonderful One!
Have a happy holiday and see you in the new year.
Can't wait to see new projects coming up
👍
Well hello there! Life if good out here. How's your year going?
😊
Looking forward to the project
Good Videos Mark Keep them coming!
