137k 1 set of HG's and lots and lots and lots of petrol...... ;) :)

Any tips on how to test it?

Any luck with the windscreen?

Oh! Might I enquire what that is? 😃

You have to press the SET+ only not buttons ...did you read the WSM about how to operate the CC?

Correct. 4psi is the max pressure the pump can make against a dead head. It ticks away for a few seconds just before starting the engine then stops. I never hear it when the engines running. Makes bleeding the fuel system a doddle too. I fit 1/8"...

when i press the cruise control button the little light turns on , i accelerate normally to desired speed and then try to press the buttons but nothing happens. horns work, yes

The quality of everything is getting worse. That's not a cynical opinion, it's a fact documented by consumer watchdogs, vloggers, bloggers, and the media. So it wouldn't surprise me if the quality of modern diesel pumps is now crap. So no diesel...

Can you accelerate from the remote?... also are your horns working?

I had a tin of yellow left from painting a tractor PTO bar. So mine is yellow.

Problem started last week. Ignition comes on, but first turn of key, nothing, second or third it would fire up. Yesterday, Ignition comes on but won't crank. Cleaned every battery terminal, starter terminal and engine earth. Took starter out...

100% valid point however i also travel to continental europe or africa and there cruise control is very convenient. This a photo from my latest adventure in the sahara :D

Everything checks out. On the next page there is also the resume and set accelerate inputs and those also seem to be registering

Thanks both, I had the wheel off yesterday and gave the drive shaft a pull and it was defo out, so gave it a good shove back in, heard the click and all was solid. Wheel back on, test drive and it's as though it never happened. Thanks for the...

Thankfully mine's been behaving for the last few weeks, busy going to and from night work, a couple of social events, mostly motorway work. I tend to get though about £100-worth of diesel a week, car says 27.8mpg. But that depends on whether me...

15,000 mile update. Front 5.5mm Rear 5.9mm Dropped tyre pressure to 30 psi all round. They are still wearing 0.5mm more in centre.

Power steering system flushed with 2 litres of new fluid and new reservoir fitted I have a noisy pump, never noticed it before, let it develop for now Cleaned the seats as it's a lovely day and hoovered the life out of the interior, not a dog...

V6 has a different VCU to TD4 and 1.8 petrol. No damper fitted. 3 door and 5 door are same length wheelbase. If yours is missing do a search and check IRD and diff are not damaged before fitting then do the one wheel Up test afterwards to...

I think I was the one to confuse everyone. I think the blue filter container looks great blue, mine is grayish / silver on my 73 series 3 I believe and wondered if blue was an original color. As for a refurb on my oil bath air filter I'll most...

On the hills with the Freelander

Hello, i'm considering fitting a new propshaft to my 2004 fl1 with 5doors. I found one (used) complete propshaft with vcu and bearings, but it is advertised as one coming from a soft-top fl1. In the pictures it looks similar to mine. Are there...

Thanks to all. Finally got the problems solved. Front sensor was an aftermarket new one that didn’t work and ended up putting a Wabco second hand one in and worked. The other problem with the inlet valve open circuit was an internal failure of...

And no offence taken, of course. Before the "tune" the soot problem with a BDL needle was pretty much non-existent, but it did not run very well in the part-throttle range it would pop and bang if you tried to accelerate too rapidly. After the...

Total cost for this repair was £286.50 inclusive of ARBs, new bushes, vertical links, Pulley, Drive belt and single reservoir.

Gotcha, thanks. Ive got my electric fan on the outside of the radiator which limits my options somewhat.

That makes perfect sense now, thank you!

I gave up with them years ago. I use a facet 4psi pump, hole in the block capped off.

... that the hospital called my wife to talk about the MIL. The GA on monday has brought on delirium in the old gal (it often happens when they have dementia in the first place). Her kidneys are shot from weeks and weeks of vancomycin, her o2...
