Thank you. Does the refurb last long or does it scratch easily?

Same way yer take an engine out a tratter then.

Morning All. :D Another bright start to the day. :) Have a great day. :D

It looks like the crank seal but to be sure I would do an inspection behind the belt to see if anything is leaking higher up. The belt seems to have had its day :)

Just seen driveway squirrel. Fink it was him. Climbed me fence and looked at me int kitchen while facing the direction ov me drive. Me friendly squirrel normally faces tother way. Nuts have gone. Bin replaced just now.

The above only works if you hold the clutch pedal down while doing it.

I haven’t used North Devon 4x4 for about 20 years but they still seem to have a good rep. My Freelander was always looked after by CPM Repairs near me. I also used Bell Engineering for transmissions - a superb small business. @andyfreelandy may...

We have a water softener. What comes out the tap is deionised water so I just use water straight from the tap.

I send the ecu in to have it tested and its not that. The fuel pump relay is clicking. I'll check the wiring and ground points. Thank you so much.

I send the ecu in to test and its fine. relay is clicking. pump only goes on when bridged with an alternative wire from speaker/backlight side.

I've had the ECU tested in the meantime and its not that. FP relay is clicking. Reset the inertia switch ( pressed the button) for what its worth. Car was 100 percent when I parked it and then it didn't want to start.

Thanks so much. that is one of my threads, where I was seeking help, but still have the problem.

Just to help, this all links in too… https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/disco-1-1991-v8-fuel-pump-electrical-wiring.394060/page-2

you can swap the hand of the alternator by simply undoing the three or four very long screws pulling them out rotating the ends of the alternator in relation to each other refitting the screws and tightening them up

Is there a way to illuminate synching as the problem? I mean can I check that and fix it?

I'm sorry, I missed your comms. So this is where I'm at. I still have this problem. I've had the ecu tested and the company told me that its good. The relay is clicking. There's spark everywhere, except injectors wont fire. that was tested with a...

Don’t worry about the what ifs, just enjoy the moment. if it does go wrong you’ll have the best experienced advise on how to adapt and overcome. You’ll learn to love it warts anorl as they say 👍

Yep, 160A is high, but that may be marketing. Unless you have a twin batt setup and a big winch, you won’t need that much.

Warm welcome DIY, post up the issue in the Engine sub-forum.

Clutch has probally rusted to the flywheel. If the brakes work….start in a gear & sometime jamming the brakes on frees it up

Thanks for the reply, good to know before I go get the wrong part. It is a real shame because the mirror is functioning fine, it is just the plastic trim that has broken off the bottom of the mirror that is an issue for more (and it looks like...

Thanks for the link, unfortunately shipping is a bit pricey (I am based in Australia). But it looks exactly what I am after.

Maybe double check F17 in the passenger footwell fuse box, just to make sure.

Greetings, I have a Series III with a 200tdi/LT77 conversion. It has been sitting a couple years. I went to move it and the clutch went to the floor. I replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders. I can not get the transmission to operate...

Today i stripped the front end near side ,in preparation for new ball joints ,after 25 years not one bolt had a decent head on it but got it in the end just needed a bigger hammer :rolleyes:....

Bronze green…good choice..Bella 👍

New starter fitted. As expected, it didn’t go without issue as it is a landy! One of the turbo studs sheared, needing drilling and tapping. The mechanic said a few choice words, which I won’t repeat! And a couple of extra earths were added. But...

Hi and welcome!
