Alibro.
The shed was only for the batteries and electronics so plenty big enough, as for the wind turbine, Smaller?Alibro.
Build a bigger shed (or Fire Station) and a smaller turbine
On a more serious note. I refer to a previous post, sorry I've not gone back through the thread. When removing the rear door card, how did you release it from beneath the inner-rear window seal?
Not sure about talents, but defo plenty of experience sorting the stupidly common faults in Freelanders.
Hi Lee, Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I got distracted by another post.
But I'll try to remember to do both anyway.
Hi Lee, here you are.
I had a go at it with a hammer and chisel but wasn't getting anywhere and worried I was going to break something I gave up for now. I'll maybe drill it out later but will buy a spare bolt first. At least I had the sense to try and release the filler before draining it.
LOL, different car so not me. I'm kinda hoping if someone went to the trouble of changing the gearbox oil they also did the IRD oil. I say this because the gearbox bolts were done up gorilla tight and I thought I was going to break my allen key releasing them. Hopefully the same gorilla did up the IRD fill bolt. I'll probably just leave it, if the IRD fails in the future it would be easier and cheaper to get a 2nd hand one than to fix it.
Phew.
No, was too busy fixing the broke bits.Did you get to get Bertie off road over the weekend Ali?
Spent the evening putting Bertie back together and hopeful he might have a wee bit more oomph.
Not sure what this is called but I'm calling it a vacuum reservoir. Anyway the connection on one end had been broken before and badly repaired so hopefully this will last a little better. The cable tie is just a bit of belt and braces.
This was one of the vac hoses. Probably didn't help the running of the car and may have been causing two amigos as it will have effected the brake servo vacuum, here's hoping. Will know tomorrow when I drive him again.
In this photo you can see an electrical connector in the centre of the photo with the wires completely disconnected. I don't know why they ended up broken off but hopefully now they are reconnected with an old connector I had lying about Bertie will be easier to start as I think it has something to do with the glow plugs.
This is it repaired.
I managed to replace all the vac hoses and like I said before at least one of them was totally trashed. I won't know until I drive it if it makes any difference but here's hoping. I had thought the performance was a bit lack lustre but I suspect at 140k miles there is more than one reason for that.
Thanks mate, I took it for a spin today and the turbo boost is noticeably better so hopefully that wee issue is resolved but I'll keep an eye on it.The broken wires to the Junior connection are for the EGR control valve. So won't affect the way it starts
You would be better off changing the vac reservoir. They aren't that expensive and failure it that joint is common.
The hole in the vac hose will affect the turbo vane actuator operation. This will reduce boost available.
