Good Morning Has anybody got any ideas how to get 4 litres of clean engine oil out of the boot carpet? I have tried jet wash and fairy liquid for 2 hours but it has soaked into the foam sound proofing and still getting oil coming out of it. Any ideas???

I have just this morning ordered a Synergy STF box from Rover ron has any body already got one of these, if so what are there expieriences with it? I must admit I can't wait to get it to see what performance difference it makes whilst towing. One doubt I'm am having is I haven't ordered the dash...

Thanks for that! At least I can tell people when they get in the car now and ask"What's this big black box under here that I keep Kicking?" Previous answer "Not got a clue" Now I can say it's summat to do wi the heater!

?? Mine has the big black plastic box but no Air con. What else could it be?

Anybody know any decent scrapyards in the northwest area where I might be able to pick up some roof rails? I have noticed a few places where I can get brand new ones for £260 ish but didn't really want to pay that any ideas appreciated!

Does anybody know if you replace the standard fit stereo with a diffrerent head unit do you lose the clock display? Or can you still have the clock working without the radio display?

I have read a few threads mentioning these tuning box's are they any good? How much are they? And finally is it worth fitting one? The td4 to me is quite sluggish unless you keep it in the turbo and this only seems to have quite a narrow band so hardish work to keep it in the turbo. Not that I'm...

Good Afternoon I recently replaced the steel wheels on my TD4 3 door with Freelander 5 spoke alloys that I picked up from the scrap yard. My question is I know the wheel nuts are different than the steel ones and I have replaced them but should it have some sort of spacer on the rear? The...

Can anybody suggest a cheap supplier of mudflaps and sidesteps for my 3 door TD4?

Apologies for the late reply! Not been at my comp for a few days! Any way here goes for those who are interested PLEASE NOTE I hold no responsiblity for any damage caused by attempting this! Mine is still working perfectly I made a slight alteration from the mouse mat to masking tape but my...

Thanks Dave. I can't see any price list on the website you gave the link to. Any ideas how much they are?

I understand that a blank clock is a common fault on the freelander! I had this problem with mine it was as dead as a dodo and nothing was showing nothing. After looking on e-bay and seeing at least £30 for a rover (red display) £50-£60 for a genuine f lander one I thought I'd pull it to pieces...

Jobs a good un! Propshaft bearings well knackered now sorted and running fine!( For the time being) Thanks for the help!

Does anybody know what the connection is or where you can get one from?

I'm starting to think it may be the propshaft bearings. Would that cause the problems I'm having? Listening closely I can here again at speed a slight rumble that sounds to be coming roughly in the floor area between the front seats. And I also get a slight clunk every now and again. Has anybody...

Here we go again! I have done the VCU test (Jack one rear wheel up chock the front and turn rear drive shaft with socket and a bar) front wheels didn't move rear turn slowly! So I guess the VCU is ok. Then I removed the back plate from the final drive to check that, no sign of wear there...

Hi Ming, I have just checked the posts on reversing with the lock on and everyone seems to point to the VCU. Can you tell me off any other that suggests other things? As you say I'd sooner check other things first before stripping it of it's 4wd!

How would I know if the IRD has knackered? The symptoms why I am assuming the VCU has gone are as follows:when reversing with full lock on it feels like the hand brake is on. When turning full lock going forward at low speed feeling as if handbrake is on and a slight squeeking coming from front...

Thanks Ming! I've got the haynes manual and it says the prop is held on with torx bolts does anybody have any idea what size they are? Had alook in the book but can't see what size!

After looking through the other threads I am wondering if I could have a seized VCU on my 2000 Td4 it seems I have all the tell tail signs. But could someone please explain when a VCU is Seized what happens to it? Is it not possible to free it up or refurb it? If I need to replace it is it...
