    Evening from kent.

    :cool: In the past 2 weeks my local village garage has 2 Freelanders in both 1.8 petrols and both for head gasket. Also on ebay the other week a one was for sale for spares or repair due to the third engine that had been fitted blowing a head gasket. So make your own mind up.

    The bolts with mine ,at most, were only 2" long , came from Paddocks.

    Bolt in rear dislocation cone

    :confused: With alot of swearing. I slide the nut in place using a spanner and screwed the bolt up. It is even more fun if you have rear air con .;)

    adjusting interior door handle

    ;) I had to do my drivers door. After removing door panel and plastic sheet, i managed to push the connecting rod outwards and with an 8mm ring spanner tighten the lock nut , only needs a couple of turns :)

    Brake problem

    :( Seal kits for the master cylinder are landrover only so its cheaper to buy a new cylinder. Absolutely bananas. :confused:

    Brake problem

    :( Hi . My 300tdi ES Disco with ABS has failed its M.O.T on a brake problem and i'm after some ideas on the cause. The tester said that when the pedal is pressed down under heavy braking it continues to creep down therefore causing a poor braking reading. There is no fluid loose from the system...

    Need help with an old defender

    :cool: The air intake should be passenger side . I was once told that the TD engine always had oil problems and the best answer would be a 200Tdi lump.;)

    hello to all from suffolk!!!

    :cool: Yeah there is a fair bit of opposition to use . Best thing to do when off road especially when green laning , is not to give anyone any thing to complain about. Try not to make to much of a mess to the tracks ,be polite to everyone ( even if they arn,t to you). And most of all make sure...
