I could do, although taking sumps on and off TD5s is a bit tricky. In the past with another car I took the sump off and got an engineering company to drill and tap a bigger hole. The problem with that one was that the sump plug was nearly falling...

Hey all, this is where I’m at… currently we’ve tested the lives on the ECu and cleaned the earthing around the engine. We’ve tested the wires from the ÉCU to the injectors and we seem to be getting power to the injectors, the fuel pumps are also...

I'd have joined that party. I'd even have brought the jelly and ice cream!!;)

Get a spare sump and gasket, then you'll have a back up plan if the existing sump plug turns out to be u/s.

🤣 🤣 🤣 Similar to what I use except mine is much smaller, and probably slower. Each time I push the pump handle down I have to wait for the oil to run into it. It works in a very funny way. I think a lot of the problem is the narrowness of the...

Thanks Arctic, that's all really useful !

I had mine powder coated back in 2017 and right up to today they are still good.

If you decide to clean the MAP sensor it's just wipe clean with a rag, the throttle sensor use only electrical contact cleaner do not touch the heat centre, for the MAF i would not touch as sometimes it can make it worse. Throttle body air...

It’s a job I’ve been putting off for four years—stripping the underseal off my chassis. Now that I have access to an outdoor ramp, it’s made the job much easier since I can stand underneath it. I’ve decided not to strip the entire chassis...

Then it's an interruption between the relay's output and pump if the relay's contact is 100% good and has power on the contact input pin... did you check if power enters and leaves the relay on the contact path?

Swot I do in the F2, to the right of the steering wheel, right in the lower corner of the screen

Live traffic is more important to me, especially on the motorway network

You're spoiling them They'll be coming in boatloads next year :D

That aint a Freelander. @landowner will confirm.

It depends on the alternator. You can do that with the Lucas alternators, but certainly not with Magneti Marelli as I tried that with the one I got form Newbury and then had to resolder all the windings before giving away as the end cover is...

Nuts gone. Replaced.

It's just a toy most of the time, found sat nav handy around Edinburgh when we went though I usually look up my destination on google maps first and then just go, nav is handy when it gets complicated in strange cities, my memory isn't what it...

Same way as Freelander engine removal -------

Take a look around the vacuum pump at the top of the engine, the seal can leak from there, also the belt tensioner as there is a seal behind that and around the rocker cover as well👍

I find that somewhere to put my glasses, tin of mints, pens and fluff is much more useful. If I found the need to use sat nav, I'd stick one of those plungery phone holders on the screen. A billion Uber drivers that can't speak English (Edit...

Arctic, re cleaning the various sensors mentioned above, is it simply a case of removing, cleaning and then replacing the various sensors or will I need to also reset any fault codes/similar using a diagnostic tool? First time I've looked at...

Good stuff. Shows new, known manufacturer's components can still let you down. Glad it's sorted.

Thank you! I worked out that it was a broken fuel filter assembly (had totally sheared off the bolts) so hopefully that will fix it when I put the new one in

Hi DevonGuy, thank you for your reply, I’ve not heard of CPM but they are very close to me, in light of kevstars comments would you recommend them to have a look at my Diff problem? I only ask because my truck is modified and not standard, is...

That would wake up the neighbourhood!!

Depends if I were to let my wife drive

Got to be honest, I just use my phone if I need navigation in the F2 - much quicker, has traffic info and generally more up-to-date. I think the digital LR clock on the screensaver option is nicer on the screen - though you can’t set it as...

Mornin Bright and sunny again No sign of bathroom fitters, been a week and three days since I seen em 🤔 Onwards and upwards then Stay busy all :)

Now you see it isn't, Put address in yes, press ok, yes, but gets complicated after that with too many options . I had to try different things before I got it to work, manual wasn't helpful
