Similar "on the ground" applies to wheelnuts (until I got my DeWalt) !! I've always laughed at people that jack the car first & then try to loosen them with the usual car wheel wrench. This is the one I have . . . . bit of an animal, but...

Just a decent flat head screwdriver would suffice. The tab isn't that strong.

Chisel and a hammer ought to get that tab out the way right?

HI Stefan. Lets hope they use decent belts and a Corteco pulley, and do the tightening sequence correctly. 1 2 3 4 Any of these belts are good do not use Dayco. 5 6 7 do let us know.

As pwood said, had to do this with my rear wheels as handbrake wouldn't hold the wheels tight enough (no prop shaft on mine). Wheel on ground fully no jacks or stands!

Remove the centre cap on the wheel & with wheel on the ground. Then make sure your socket goes through, use either long breaker bar of decent ratchet gun. I span the hub nuts off my son's FL1 TD4 easily with my DeWalt 18V 1/2" impact.

Was going to say the same thing!

Sounds dodgy. Are you sure the original driveshaft was a genuine LR one? Has the car had a lift?

Hey all! I have my Forever Land Rover and just want to let you all know what I have done and had a few question along the way. I will make sure to bold any questions so y'all can help without having to read me yap on 😅 1. So this Saturday I...

Yeah forgot to say, power feels better especially up hills, it was really struggling before.

Suppose it is possible that knackered injectors and a duff MAF may have been happy together and then making them injectors good upset things?? How is power, with and without MAF connected??

So had a drive with the MAF unplugged and there's is about 90% less smoke, just a puff of black smoke under heavy load. So guessing the MAF is kaput!

2 of them weren't firing properly so took all of them apart and gave them a refurb. Don't know what you mean about adaptations.

Checked hoses and all seem to be fine, no splits or holes. Disconnected the MAF and still seem to be a lot of smoke. Gonna leave it off today while I go out and see if it clears up any. Here's the after-MAF (sorry had too 😁) Also see pic for...

Yeah replace them when installing and made double sure everything was in perfect before putting everything back together. But just to make sure I'll have a look tomorrow to make double double sure 😃

Mines blanked off. I'm gonna look at the hoses and try unplugging the MAF as well. I wonder if I've knocked a hose or clip when doing the work?

Black smoke usually ends up being a split or degraded intercooler hose or loose clip.

I've got that at the moment. Been waiting for warmer weather to look at it. like you I did the injectors (although replaced) plus I also did the high pressure fuel pump. That cured the excessive grey smoke I was getting (and fuel in the sump) but...

This is it, just temporary, but works really well!

The Impedance is 8 ohms as far as I know it should be 4 ohms. I used an old subwoofer from an old stereo that was 4 ohms. I'll post a pic shortly.

Interesting choice of username - U-534 was the last Kriegsmarine submarine to be sunk.... seems it's sunk twice now, this time without trace.

So your first post is a rather pointless rant, your second shows us that you are too dumb to be able to use a very user-friendly forum, your third is to tell us you don't need it and to say goodbye, and your 4th is another rant cos no one...

Forgot that could affect it. Will give it a go later and see what happens.

Might be a fuel/air mixture issue. Try disconnecting the MAF and see what happens.

Hi everyone I know there are a few posts on this but just need to ask anyway. Have lots of black smoke coming out of the TD4 (2005 facelift model), now I know it's usually the turbo that causes this but it wasn't doing this before I refurbed the...

Unless you have a ready supply of Caps around your area??? Your going to have to use social media?? Or scrap yards local to you may be a better idea, just for the top. Kev

Anyone know where I can get the outer part of the fuel cap? It was loose and I've been meaning to glue it for ages but out of sight etc.... Don't want to spend 50 quid on eBay for the whole thing!
