How about putting board on top of the seats ?(either on the seat part or back rest) Put a few uprights to support this. Make it so it folds in the middle or in 2 pieces (then You could slide it onto the floor for storage)

I loosen from below with a flex spanner, then working from above - unscrew by hand and remove upwards. You can just get it through.

Hi, see image

Hi, Does anyone know the part number for Mintex front brake pads for a 2013 SD4 (HSE Auto) Many thanks - Ian

Progress so far... Air box etc out of the way. Upper intake manifold off. Lower intake manifold, coil packs, fan, belts, pulleys, coolant hoses and rocker covers etc. Heads off. The problem cylinder, all liners look and feel ok for...

I don't really know how to gauge the clearance. It says 1.6mm but what do you measure? Also surely the pedal should never hit the floor no matter how hard you press it? Not touched the adjusters on the drum yet, too busy trying to get the air...

That’s a shame, sometimes you just need to have a cup of tea and cool down , that’s all part of the learning process, did you get the required clearance in the master cylinder pushrod and brake adjusters not binding can’t think what else would...

So update, pedal felt okay until I got it off the axle stands and then brakes were locked on. Fiddled about with the master cylinder and now have brakes locked on and pedal still able to go to floor with effort or no brakes at all. Giving up and...

Honestly I don’t think it’s done anything to the chassis heat wise as all copper cables are intact, even the abs sensor cable at the site of the fire start, the aluminium rear quarters are melted but that’s only 650c, if copper cables are all...

Thought the disco sport was ingenum only ?

Thanks for your reply. Honestly i dont know because i did not do it myself.

Doors, tailgate, sills, windscreen frame and inside of the wings are all painted and shining 😀

Day 2 of painting and been troubled by orange peel 😖 right then back to the original recipe 2:1 and no thinners….

Ah thanks thats good to know. Yes that makes sense. The less movement the better. I have inward facing bench seats in the back and I don't want to lose that seating capacity. My wife and I like to go camping with our dog and sometimes we meet...

Obvious, new belt, new tensioner

No chance, mine was used on the Ark, plenty to choose from on the ebay just pick one with a tapered nose.

Got a brand name by chance?

I have a plier type rivet tool that has a smaller head than my lazy tongs.

Try uplugging & cleaning the two round electrical plugs at the top front of the gearbox. Did you do the fluid at correct temperature & engine running ?

Forward of the rad Izzy carrys a full width intercooler. This is supported by some homemade brackets that are being refurbed, and all are fitted with a common design of support rubber. Does anyone recognise this from the LR parts bin? I need...

On the heater box there are 6 rivets that are tight into the joint: Its just too tight for the nose of the lazy tongs. I have Googled a bit and not really turned up anything that looks like it with cope with this or a few spots where some...

Now listed on fleabay.

To m ove it, get a secondhand spare tyre.

Whoever designed the heater box certainly took an interesting route. Or some drugs. One or the other as its ended up complex and both rivetted and spot welded along the same joints. Its consumed 12 hours of my life I reckon. There is the one way...

anything to do with wiring ECM BCM etc is going to be a right pain. As for the chassis, there must be ways of testing it to see if it has been seriously damaged. Testing it for twist resistance is just one thing see this...

Surely unplugged it can't go off, so do the resistor fudge & leave the airbag where it is ?

When I first had my second Freelander td4 auto there were a few problems and advised to change the maf sensor which I did now 13 years after suffering a few problems like smoke on start up and acceleration ,I had enough and was going to sort it...

The freelander unit was a citroen/peugeot /Ford unit. A good engine when looked after👍 For the later disco "lite" I've no idea if it's the same unit🤔

As we don't know what you think are the obvious two.....

No point suggesting the obvious two. Any other ideas, air con on off makes little difference.
