Land Rover Freelander - Video tutorial

Model: Land Rover Freelander Freelander 1 - Years 1997-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: Build a DIY tool to remove the serpentine belt from a Land Rover Freelander MK1.

In this video, we see how to remove the service belt from a Land Rover Freelander TD4 using a self-made tool specifically designed for this purpose, which we can also do with minimal cost and a bit of ingenuity. To remove the service belt from a Freelander TD4 with a BMW M47 engine, a specific tool is needed, but we take a 24mm ring wrench, cut off the end, and weld it to its own support, as shown in the video. We need to flatten it well so that we can grip the tensioner pulley. If desired, you can extend the handle by welding another wrench onto it. This way, you can remove the belt, which would otherwise be impossible without tools - a hand cannot fit in that tight space - and it works.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
