Not very often, fortunately, I get "one of those jobs" !
Offered to replace a strut top mount for a mate. Both strut to hub bolts and nuts seized solid, like they had become one piece of metal. My 350 + ft lb impact driver wouldn't touch it. Nut...
Lovely night in work in royal mail an area that noted for being a sweatbox😟 Only thing keeping me going was to ignore it. When all around you are speaking a foreign language I blank it. When I get back home to bed. I eventually ignored the din of...
One thing we will never, ever, be able to ignore in future, when we see 1 of your great illustrations, is the image of you creating it on your bed naked save for a pair of Y fronts and socks!
I'm happy to have Google do that for me for free. The more I advertising Landyzone, people who are searching for images can see where it came from. Books are old hat now as you may sell a dozen or none. Just keep ignoring me 🥸
Hi learned forum members. I wonder if you could help me with some advice. Sorry if this has been asked before but I've recently been reading this forum thread that says "please ignore". Now the problem is I've not ignored it and have only gone...
Just checking everyone is being, as usual, an upstanding and responsible adult within the community and ignoring this thread.
@MGT See what you have done? There is real work not being done in the world right now because of you.
A simple...
From my experience; Rimmer Bros customer services like to play these games.
They supplied me with reversing sensors that didn't work and then told me that because I had tried them that I would have to put in a warranty claim and wait for...
Never had any success with that methond on any car. 2 person method for me is:
1) open bleed valve & assistant pushes pedal steadily to floor & hold.
2) close bleed valve & assistant releases pedal.
3) repeat 1 & 2 until no bubbles on fluid...
Hi,
First you should buy an used door lock for your door, take the right version unless it will not works.
Then you can figure out how it work.
The outside door handle will not help you, put back the handle cable in place, but first remove...
It was a while ago but IIRC the car I looked at had a button to start it so the guy may have wired it into the starter relay.
I did a similar thing myself recently in my wifes Ford Kuga. It stopped recognising the clutch was pushed in even...
Having fitted a new clutch, new slave and attached this to a known working master cylinder I was not at all surprised to find the clutch bite was in the carpet. It has happened before but never really found not why it happens and how to fix it...
Bypassing the immobiliser is possible as I once saw a Freelander where it was done but I don't know how.
Does the immobiliser send CAN messages to the ECU or is it as simple as a GND or 12V signal?
All of my Freelanders had original exhausts so they must have been well made.
And yes as Nodge says the power steering hose is always flattened like that. It had me concerned too the first time I saw it.
The flat hose is the PS return line, and yes they are flat. I believe the flat hose is some form of crude noise reduction system, there the hose can absorb noise from the pump or rack. Don't worry about it, unless it starts leaking.
Spent the day doing checks around the rear diff seal and underside. Diff seal region often looked dirty and damp. The rear silencer box looked like it had been sprayed with oil mist at some point before I took ownership nearly 5 years ago. But...
