New vented, grooved discs fitted. Ceramic grease where needed. All brake dust cleaned out. Wheels cleaned too !! See how it goes. Was quiet on test drive. Need to bed them in for a few hundred miles.

I tried an aluminium welding stick and a gas torch. All super clean and it flowed nicely but obviously not gas tight. Soapy bubbles proved that !!

That looks like the under dash fan loom. Let me know, might be able to source what you need.

As above, can you post photos of what you are calling the air con loom?

That would be fab. Thanks. My scrappie has got 3 x TD4s so no use. Will post photo. Will also check it is straightforward to take off as it is under the alternator !! 🫣

Original is leaking at the weld. Tried to aluminium weld but still leaks.

Looking for an air con hose please. Compressor to Condenser. Part no JUF 000460 1.8 Petrol 2003. Anyone got one ? Thanks Thread 'Freelander 1 1.8 Air Con Hose' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-1-8-air-con-hose.399630/

Hi, Looking for the air con hose that runs compressor to condenser. 2003 1.8 Petrol Freelander. Labelled JUF000460 In working condition please. Thanks. Please PM with any offers.

Would love to see the AA person's face when you call them out and they open the bonnet !! 🫢 Great work.

MOT'd the G4. No advisories but the horn clock spring wire went open circuit on way to MOT so had to replace the clock spring. It passed OK then !!

Switch on brake pedal allows stick to move out of park. I think it is the small hall effect one, not the brake lamp switch. Maybe come unplugged or out of alignment. Or broken !!

So according to supplier they should be as red stripes. So the one in the photo is fitted wrong. If I understand the majority replies above, this would mean the opposite to the views presented. Am I understanding correctly??

So shiny Handed discs. Must get right way around! Wow. No instructions and many you tubes that contradict !! Most say slots sloping to rear of car. Some say slots facing forward to cut into the pad in direction of travel !! Anyone have...

Arrive tomorrow. Fit at weekend. Yours needed to be done last month 🫣

Few more and electric F1 is possible !!

But does it start ok?? I found that over 1V is dropped in the immob module. One of my vehicles has a button feed straight to the starter for cold weather and even when the battery won't operate the starter via the immob, the button does !! Charge...

Do you get a solenoid click?? Measure cranking voltage. Low voltage can be insufficient to pull the starter in and make the contacts up. It could be worn contacts or high resistance as you say. Earth leads can be checked by measuring voltage drop...

Indeed. Vented, slotted and drilled discs are to be tried out. Will report back.

You haven't witnessed my driving 😀 Fair point. Will try them as I think I glazed mine due to calipers being sticky when I got the car.

Sod it. I'll put a pair on and see what happens. Checking pistons are free in process. The 18" wheels are so heavy, just taking them off once is very attractive.

AI says; Slotted discs: Feature grooves that run along the disc's surface. They offer improved gas and water expulsion and can enhance pad bite. Drilled discs: Have holes drilled through the disc, offering better heat dissipation and gas...

Incidentally, these are lowest price I can find. https://ebay.us/m/PZYB7R Looks like you buy the holes and get the grooves free 😉

Thanks for the great advice !! It is possible that I heated the new discs and they have gone too shiny ?!?! Which leads to a discussion with @kernowsvenski last weekend. Grooves and holes in the discs, good, bad or waste of time ?? I can see...

Thanks, calipers are only a year old, but it is possible. Brakes run cool when driving with no brake application. Thinking - I renewed the pads and discs first before realising the calipers were not returning properly, although not seized. Is it...

A minor annoyance on the TD4 Sport 2003. When I bought the car it had seized calipers and worn discs. Calipers and discs replaced and Mintex pads fitted. All good with no problem for 15,000 miles. Due to a long Scotland trip looming, I replaced...

You know how to live you do. 😁

If the aux belt breaks or comes off on an FL2 does the very clever electrikery stop the engine running ??

Meyle Heavy Duty have lasted over 3 years on mine.

Disconnect battery. Take one lead off from fuse box. The lead from battery. 3 nuts and lift fusebox up to allow access.
