Did your new gaiter come with a plastic frame in it?

Mine was stitched around the base and the plastic had a break in it and so could slide it in.

Slightly different to mine then by the sound of it. I need to get gluing unfortunately.

Job done. Delighted. Makes the whole interior feel better as it really annoyed! Seeing the state of the old one.

andyfreelandy · Apr 11, 2020

Looks good. Yes the pre facelift is different at the base. It is square and presses into clips under the console trim.

I think you may need to get your tracking checked, just in case that is causing extra wear.

I will, as soon as the garages near me are allowed to open,god only knows when that will be.

Jayridium · Apr 11, 2020

Garages should still be open:

Meanwhile up in Jock-Land-Shire....

I'm grafting a Freelander 5 door front courtesy light onto the headlining of my freelander 3-door/Commerical

That looks good.
Fancy doing mine?

I'm sure we could come to an arrangement...

Jayridium · Apr 13, 2020

Today I've finished the installation of a 5door front courtesy light in my 3 door, and an MGF rear view mirror with the little map lights on it, and all the interior lights are pure white LED's.

I'll post more pics in a separate thread, but for now:

Looks great! Good job!

I fixed mine until it was broken.

Changed the vacuum lines for the turbo and EGR, now it won't start. I think it isn't fuelling. Meh. I wanted an automatic anyway.

andyfreelandy · Apr 16, 2020

Most likely disturbed a connector somewhere. Engine would run without vac pipes after a fashion.

paul99 · Apr 17, 2020

Yeah, but I can't find which one(s) are flakey. Manana. I'll pull the air porting off again and check then. Also time to charge the diagnostics laptop. I'm suspecting injectors or fuel rail pressure sensor.

saxavordian · Apr 17, 2020

With weather sunny in oh my gawd Manchester I replaced my rear passenger window regulator.

JSett · Apr 18, 2020

Today, I have been mostly doing the rear diff mounts. Thanks all for the helpful hints. I do seem to have dropped, or mislaid, the gear-change thump somewhere.

Lockdown quiz question for today. What's wrong with this ...

ian mitchell · Apr 19, 2020

the plate is missing from behind the bolt

Bingo.
I'd noticed a slight clunk on taking up drive of late. Fearing calamitous failure I thought I'd have a look today and found I can move the front section of the prop back and forth about an inch.
