Hey all, I traded in my old Freelander for a series 3 Disco. It doesn't have roof rails but as the wife would like to take her entire wardrobe with her on hols and the dog has the boot space, it's not a bad idea to get roof rails fitted. What's involved, as I understand from my local (and...

Hey guys, it's been a while. I used to have a TD4 which had some issues which, thanks to the advice and support from the people on the forum here, I managed to resolve most of. While i've not got the TD4 anymore, I managed to get a decent trade-in price on a TDV6 Discovery 3. I'm very happy...

Not sure the photos would do this site much good...ISP would have a fit and we'd only get all the loners doing 'dodgy' searches from Google checking your arse out. I've got a few photos of the race, but it's the usual thing with these events...there's always some Dutch flag being waved in...

Indeed. Mondo - i've tracked the eBay item and still need to get under my Freelander to check. Haven't had a chance just yet due to 'wedding plans'...:eek:

Think i'll quit while i'm ahead then. I have a tendancy to tweak that little bit too much and the whole thing is likely to go Bang. Does you rocket make that noise too?

Came second...;)

I've been having a 'discussion' with the wife about changing her car (currently a Mini Cooper S) for something a little more practical. We'd keep the Gaylander too, but the problem we've got is Dogs. We've got a gorgeous German Shepherd. But she doesn't fit in 'normal' cars. Even an Audi A6...

Went over to Le Mans this year with 7 mates....took the Gaylander with a car....cara....carva......(I can do it!)....CARAVAN..... Borrowed the caravan from a mate for a bottle of whiskey (think he got the good deal here), and had a damn good time. The actually race is a bit of a yawn event...

Oh mighty Ming...my reason fo fitting the MAFAM was it was a cheap alternative to replacing the duff MAF. So if I did replace the original MAF, how much would that set me back? 'bout £200 is what I was expecting, hence the MAFAM for a quarter of the price...but if I do get even more performace...

Owwww! So i've got an oil leak too? Grrrr. Where should I start to look for the leak - or am I best getting my local dealer to rip me off? ;)

:o Not too sure what i'm supposed to being giving a shove to be honest. I've got some pictures which i'll link to...First is the car, second is a photo from the same side as the first but pointing underneath and at the middle. The third is from the rear underneath. I assumed that it was...

I'll go and give it a shove now...hopefully the missus wont come back and assume i've run myself over. Although going by one of the posters comments about his wife leaving plant pots...;)

Man am I a happy bunny (small furry earth animal to you Ming). I'm happy 'cos 1) the posts saying that i've done the right thing. ;-0 and 2) the performance is a definate improvement to low-down grunt (around the 2-3k RPM level) and the fuel econ is about 15% better...aye...you do the maths...

Hmmm. Am I confused or what! I had a problem with major power loss while attempting to accelerate. I unplugged the MAF from near the air filter (had to take the air filter cover off). That resolved my power loss for sure but was not recommended as a long-term solution. So, I found this MAF...

Hmmm...multiple exclamation marks....capitals at the start of every word....and failing to use "you're" in the proper context...Who's the scary one now? :D ;) Only kidding - I just saw the full size pic of your avatar....now that IS scary.

Spot on Rich. I've just bid on it (think I put in a high bid of £53 rather than £5.3 but hey...i'm the only bidder!). Thanks for this. Wow - the Internet really does work!

Some guy named Ming said so. Oh...and he's really normal. :p

Mwuhahahahaha. Earthling? Who's an earthling?

I've got to say that it's ok...I wasn't expecting a massive difference - just wanted my decent fuel econ. back. ;) I haven't given it a good run yet - just around the block with those pesky kids trying to test my insurance out. I'm giving it a 250 mile run tomorrow and i've got it on the...

Ok - my only other problem (honest!)...is that when fixing my MAFAM to resolve problem A...I found that there was a small abrasion hole in the flexible black pipe which is at the front (closest to the front of the car that is). This pipe goes from the front left-middle of the car to the right...
