I’m probably being very stupid here but should I be able to manually spin the prop shaft (to remove bolts) with the handbrake off, 90 in neural and diff lock on N?

I doubt he'll have dug on our patch. one part is fully slabbed, the rest is, as is the whole estate, built on the spoil pile for a long gone pottery of some sort. Digging into it for any animal would be painful. Which is why we have no moles. I...

Ok, fair enough. Find out where mr rat has got the entrance to his gaff-hosepipe down hole-water on full- stand back with old cricket bat/mean ass dawg…oh and gaffer tape your trooser legs…trust me. 🐀🏏

I've never changed an exhaust in any Freelander and they were all as old as yours. They must have been well made.

It is definitely the latter.

Thanks Arctic, that's all really useful Thanks Nodge, I'll see what the diagnostic throws up.

I’ve got a roof tent and awning so me and the dear lady wife just go easy at the jiggy jiggy. I also put two Land Rover jacks in the two back cross member holes to stop it rocking so that other campers don’t become concerned

Or rebuilt on a warped casing?

Hello I have an old mk2 p38 2.5 dse diesel its doing my head in it overheats I have put a new head gasket and head on and expansion tank and radiator waterpump thermostat and clutch on the main fan it starts and ticks over great but when I...

W has poison on order although we haven't seen head nor tail of it for a while now, since I disturbed it in fact. Me no shotgun licence, and even if I did we live in the middle of an estate so not far enough away from a road or neighbour to let...

Keep an eye on him when he go's there 😨

A lesson in over tightening. Now I have one less bolt holding down the drivers side rocker cover. Rest is reassembled, with only two bolts left over, not as bad as I was expecting! Turned over and started fairly easily, but I didn't run it for...

I've had some of their spanners for over 25yr now 👍

Cheers. Cooler etc as per list all on interest too mate

So, I finished today. Sealed everything. I hope the water stops coming in. I didn't use foam - I used aluminum. I painted it black beforehand. Thanks for the great support here! Will report back.

TBH you may not be far out! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Although its last but one owner was a welder.;)

Great build Mate and write up about it. If I decide to go ahead with mine it will be very helpful to look back on. Thanks

I have now had time to calm down from the farce involved in fitting the oil filter. Cannot believe that a job I have done many times became so stupid. Just couldn't get the new, correct height, filter to screw on to its spindle thing. To the...

You a full of stupid can tell by your replays , further more I don't drive a FL , LMS

Replaced back box. Picked up last MOT as the outer was rusted and coming away. Not blowing. See the pic of the old one below. Looks suspiciously like a date code, if it is, it’s done very well. My FL is a March 06 registration on 157.5 k miles...

You have to see if power gets to terminal with ignition on 30 then if it closes to 87 when the relay clicks... from 87 the power should get to the pump

Or running with no oil or the wrong oil ?

Maybe someone is just scared the crank is about to snap. Or maybe it was a cheap trade in so the selling garage doesn't need to make too much on it.

Hi, I have no ideea what they mean by that ...all i can tell you is that the tacho signal on the D2 is white/grey wire going to C0230 pin 15 but that's a 2pulse/rev PWM signal i dont know if that "5v or 12V square wave signal" described by...

Ditto

Have you tired jumpstarting it? As so often this sort of issue is down to a weak battery.

At the risk of sounding stupid, is it one of them models you need to tell the system it’s had a new battery and ‘code’ it in?

I don't know what all the fuss is about myself. I drive thousands of miles in my TD5 and don't find it burdensome at all. The most miles I've covered in a day is around 700. My everyday motoring includes rural roads, motorway trips and the...

Hi, interested. What part of the country are you in? Do you know the condition of the box or are any parts missing? Could you PM me some photos?
