Is that the one in Wales? The description rings a bell to one I've seen for sale, which I thought was in Wales.
I'm hoping the parts arrive before the weekend, as we might be taking a trip east with the trailer, as I'm looking at bidding on a couple of electric mopeds.
If I win the auction, then the Freelander will be the tow vehicle.

Shame.
A good price FL2 doesn't take long to sell.

Pic as promised
Today I received these items in the post.
They were the metal PS pipes, as the pipes on the vehicle are rather rusty. I also ordered a parking brake cable, although the brake cable was also delivered with a £1.50 fine from the Royal Mail, because the seller didn't put enough postage on the package.
I changed the parking brake cable, which has made the parking brake feel much more how it should.
I also fitted the replacement solid PS high pressure pipe.
I couldn't get the return pipe fitting out the rack, so gave up trying, and just fitted the pipe that was needed for the flexy high pressure pipe when that arrives (tomorrow hopefully).
The PS pipe kit also came with the correct PS fluid, which isn't the normal D3 most LRs have.
One thing I find strange (apart from the fact that these delicate pipes aren't protected from road spray by the arch liner) is the metal PS pipes are used to support the fuel line, which is fitted to the engine, but the rack is bolted to the body. Odd that.

FL2; Went in to local indy to have lower front suspension arms replaced. Certainly has eliminated the horrible steering shake on some road surfaces. Still get shake under braking, so that's new disc and pads to do soon.

Also asked them to do a Haldex service. Invoice just listed the oil, so I asked what about the filter?! Apparently they couldn't get the filter housing off. Seezed up, so just did oil. Disappointed with that. Is the seezed filter a thing?

Sold the TD4 for more than what I was asking ( made an offer I couldn't refuse ) , off to live in Crewe and pull a tin tent around the country. Its well prepped for them anyway and will serve them proud. I'll miss the TD4 for sure

Too true. More annoying is this part was sold as an OE part, and the picture looked like an OE pipe.Not even my car and I'm raging for you that the new parts arrived defective
Even more annoying than being sold a crap part, is the duff flexy pipe is a one time push fit to the new solid pipe, so both parts need to be replaced.
It really ****es me off, that one crap part, then ****s up another new part.
It's weeping from the push fit joint Ali.
Unfortunately it's a one time push fit, so now it's pushed together, the new solid pipe also needs replacing again.
