oh i completed my front end facelift too :)

the wiring was pretty easy. No relay needed (god know what others have been on about) all working fine :)
 
Electrics.. fiddled with wires till it all worked. Didn't use a meter.. just the oohhhh it sparks approach.

Don't ask me how for I know not


When the magic smoke comes out the piping I just know it's stuffed

Decided to trade in my completely trustworthy (!) and known 2001 Blue Hippo in for an unknown 2005 green version of same.........:eek:

Pm me with what your looking for the sliders....just incase the wife wants them ;)
 
Replaced the cloth mats with some rubber ones:D:D

Insured it.

Bought some new tyres to be fitted on Wednesday.

Sold my soul to the devil to pay for it all.
 
Started stripping down the Freelander today to change the clutch.

Part way through the job and I realised that everything that needs disconnected/unbolted on the gearbox side is 95% of everything to the complete engine. It was only a few more water hoses and the power steering pipes to disconnect to allow me to drop the entire drivetrain out.


So ten more minutes work to save a lot of arse-ache later balancing a gearbox on my chest and trying to bench-press it into place and wiggling it to get the splines to engage while getting bits of crud in my eyes. Instead I can put it together with ease on the floor and lift it all in.

It had been apart before judging by the odd random non-matching bolt here and there, and the existing system is a bit odd....its got a dual mass flywheel so should have a solid clutch disc but it ALSO has a sprung clutch disc.....meh, whatever. I will bung on a solid flywheel kit and thats that done. The clutch disc is worn to the rivets and the flywheel has a fair bit of play in it. It was well and truly on its last legs.

Oil and filter change. Also swapped all front lamps. Swapped front indicators to chromed bulbs, to get rid of that horrible fried egg look. Brighter H4's and some whiter brighter side lights.

Same, Halfords Ultimate. As for the side lights, again Halfords own.
They where either the Ultra Blue or the Laser Blue, I forget which. The colour difference didn't seem all that different during the day.
Haven't had chance to check them out at night yet.
