It’s amazing what you find when you are forced to look hard. I have a tow bar and fittings but I am sure there are no wires. Dammit now I’ll have to check. When I was scrambling underneath her last week I found an old earth lead still neatly...

Do they make the roof spikey ??

Yep, tread very carefully there

I have all next week to ignore everything while chilling on holiday..............well everything but the missus

The "approximately a year old" comment from the seller probably means someone cleaned the battery to make it look newer !! +1 do the simple overnight voltage check above with the battery disconnected. Also getting Halfords to check its...

@James Brake as others have said rebuild or replace with another 1.8 is the easiest approach. Then sort the IRD & Prop, etc. A donor car would help you a lot & potentially provide many bits you're gonna need or break off-road. Also this forum...

Ignored as requested.

That looks almost identical to mine, which I bought nearly twenty years ago. However, mine has metal tubes on the legs It hangs up in the garage roof when I'm not using it. Then these clamps go up through those tubes and clamp it to the gutter...

Good work Freddie. Keep it up. Good to see you haven't posted like stupid me and stupid @backinblack Hang on a minute.....

Only one pic of internals.

Hello everyone, I recently bought a freelander, which is nice on many aspects, but present symptoms of a bad VCU.

1st job is do a one wheel up test (plenty of info on here). If the VCU is duff you can take the prop off and then it doesn't matter what tyres you have on the car and you can drive it with them as much as you want. If the VCU is good, you can...

Sorry not falling for it this time........Oh bugger I just did.

Problem solved.... Went for the easy solutions first. Disassembeled the regulators and found that one of the "locking pins" was damaged. Some sanding and lubricating, and things seem to be alright...:) The air goes where i want it to go....

Oh bugger. Sorry all. I clearly seemed to have not ignored again! Please ignore this post.

Hello everyone, I recently bought a freelander from 2005, and I have a VCU problem. No noises whatsoever, except a little squeaking from rear wheels when I turn fully left (easier to hear for the drivers.. left sided steering wheel). Reverse...

Good work this is!

Hi mate started fiddling today, front tubs out trim etc front of cills good will decide where to join as access is limited but no rust, will cut off old full along top with 20mm overlap and drill spots on bottom, rear wheel arch will need a quite...

Yes, an incorrect signal rather than absence of signal might mess it up.

On my P38A I cut the cooler pipes and used compression fittings and a new bit of oil hose. Others used a flaring tool on the stub of pipe remaining. Sump can probably be plugged with Quiksteel. You'd be amazed what it seals!

Bit odd. No issues with my car or my scrapper but Slooby's was messing with my head yesterday. I wish I could pun down what is different about it. Cannot be the FIP itself as I swapped them over. I'll see if it runs after I have finished...

Hi i just removed the steering box of my Defe 2001 td5 crew cab 110 cause leaks. I disassembly it and took it to a defender specialist for rebuilt it as it had some corrosions. After he rebuild it he asked me from what car is as this steering box...

Do you have tow bar electrics ? My RHR indicator failed to work off the switch, despite having ground and feed. Going through the wiring I found an unused towbar loom. Once disconnected - Voila'. Don't ask me why.
