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...

FL1 is auto trans fluid which is red / brown. Think OP has FL2.

Hi, Thanks. I only had one and got that solved thanks. If we could work out the pattern it would help others. Assume you'd need a list of serial numbers and lock codes that match ?? I'm sure the forum could provide.

Before you condemn the top mount or bearing, whip the coolant bottle off and check the top nut is tight. Allen key in centre to hold. I had one that needed a new lock nut and unscrewed on its own !!

Yes Sat night camping is the plan. That's not to say Friday night is a no no if you have far to come.

Similar threads are available. Just to keep.it balanced.... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/duplicate-please-delete.398546/

50th Anniversary blue is essential.

No idea ! Depends who makes them and what you ask for I guess. Safest is to contact a supplier and either buy some or ask them for the threads. Maybe you can specify threads and keep them the same as the rest ofnthe vehicle ??

On my 2002 onwards they are M10 x 1.0 except 2 larger ones on the ABS which are M12. Search my thread as there are double and single flares which require SAE and DIN flare tools and you MUST use the correct nut. A double flare requires a...

Photos of before and after would be helpful. Good luck.

It's a bit like remembering what you have to forget

Put double layer of cling film over brake reservoir and screw cap on to reduce leakage by creating a partial vacuum. Don't drive it !!

You can usually add a joiner just under the chassis rail. It is the bit in the wheel arch that rots. Make sure you get conifer pipes, copper is too soft and breaks when unscrewed at a later date. Make sure all flares on pipe ends are correct...

Anyone tried spraying Vienna Green code 751 ??? Now on second mix to match aerosol from a company I have used many times before and it is still too green. The original colour is a gold / green / grey. The last spray is the best, hoping with...

As you have fitted they are not so far off vertical when the arm is down at an angle !! They are trailing arms after all. Of course, depends which way up you fitted them but as photo I wouldn't worry.

It's a must peep thread. Recall an email and it gets it read too !!

@Nodge68 @kernowsvenski

There must be an algorithm based on serial number. Who wants to try to derive it!?!?!?

Tried this link and for less than a fiver got the code back within minutes. https://ebay.us/m/VCDWed All works fine !!

Hi, Can anyone assist please? Either a contact in LR dealer or some other method. Have a good CD Radio from a scrap car, have the registration number but need the radio code. Local dealer to me used to give them out but they want paperwork...

The solid rubber section needs to be vertical ! I'm sure it isn't that critical. The 2 part Poly bushes make this a doddle.

I have changed the title of the topic. Maybe the mods could pin it until after 13th?

Save the date. Saturday 13th Sept 2025. Will PM the location in North Devon to those confirming attendance. Except those who know already !

They are impressively tight. I bust my bushing tool and a 10 ton press finished the job !! I now use Poly as a fit and forget. If I recall, with the standard ones, Imput the arm on a block of wood. Centred the bush, put a large socket on the...

So this is looking like a goer. I am happy to provide space for parking and marquee+ toilet etc. No charge for attendance. I have a mate who is looking to produce some LZ merchandise (with a Freelander photo, not a Defender !). Several great...

There was me thinking it was lager. Don't really want a 'sample!' 🤭 Esp if it has been passed by the Cornish Management !!

Poly or standard with metal ring around the outside??

And here's the donor !! Nearby too !! https://www.facebook.com/share/1BjHa82R7F/

OP has a 2005.
