do you still have the actual water wheel .I would have one with a generator attached

The mill was used to produce oil from Linseed or Colza, the French burnt it in the war to prevent the Germans using it. the mill race is still there, I have rebuilt the sluice gates and when the house is finished I intend to make a water wheel if I am still fit & healthy:)
The house is dry, never been known to flood. Folks were smart in the past, the house is built just high enough above the flood line to be safe.
It's my piece of paradise, I paid peanuts for it as a ruin which allowed me to get rid of my mortgage when I sold my house in the UK and just work part time. I'm slowly renovating it all as cash permits.:D:D
 
at last drop links arrived :):):):):):) but not anti roll bar bushes ,but even the new droplinks fitted must be better than nothing :):):):)

but turned out to be ****s !!! had to nip back to shop for a nut splitter as alan key fitments where shot



knuckles gone lol blood everywhere :eek:


all fitted (well till i need to drop front subby


next the window
what a pain in ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


well its raining and wife out ,not back till morning so

front room fixing while drinking beer and watching tv lol
will see when sobber if it worked lol
 
well thats the window all done,in and working better than new :):):):)

as it turned out the repair kit i got from ebay was spot on £13 for 3 stainless wires that you cut to lenght and fitting instructions

to be honest hardest part was the bordom of reading the instructons which as it happens i thank made it seem hard to do ,when in fact it was very easy and common sense :)
 
had a prob with rear breaks (did a thread lol) but all sorted now at a grand cost of no £s

but while out there i had a quick play/look around , first the pollen filter

wow pulled it out and the date lable on it was 2001 and very dirty




quick hoover /all clean


next i wanted to check my fan speed switch after reading i found i needed to find this

but i dont have one on my car i have this instead (i assume it does the same thing?)


next i had a quick look in engine fuse box and found i had 2 relays missing

found that a bit strange so got the multi meter out just to check ,but to my surprise they have power going to them so does the empty fuse slot !
i thought maybe aftermarket/upgrades that my freelander does not have ? but surly if that was the case they would not be live , can anyone tell me what relays should be there and what they do please?

next after reading about the egr valve ,thought i would check/clean mine


def full of crap lol , quick clean and checked the valve was free to move ,which it is :)


all back together ,quick test drive,all is well so now beer time :)

Block the EGR or if possible remove the VAC tube that operates it. Not sure if the latter is possible on the Freelander but it's OK on the P38. Stops all the crap getting into the inlet manifold.
 
well the repair on the front window lasted for ever NOT!!!!!
the cables are top qual but to be honest the method of connecting the ends is poor ,some glue which is total poooooo

so anyway had to redo it again :-( this time after reading about the bike break mod i used lead to form the ends :)


quick melt

pre drilled my holes and set the lead

after a quick sand to get to correctish shape and size

jobs a fish :):):)

BUT BE CAREFULL MOLTEN LEAD BURNS LIKE HELL :(:(:( so dont hold under the piece of wood as some runs throw as i can state :(:(:(:(
