Also check your fuel pumps prime when you turn on ignition. Locate them and check they are buzzing. Cheers Blippie

The clunking could well be, as people have already said, the VCU bearings or the rear diff mounts. The drone could be as simple as tyre wear. Try swapping them front to back and see if the noise migrates. Freelanders like regular tyre position swaps, but try to have the newer ones on the...

Best move is to replace the entire mirror assembly with the later folding type. Cheers Blippie

You can pick up new hoods on eBay, sometimes new, for loose change! Cheers Blippie

We have two and will run 'em for ever. I also have a Defender, and am thinking of selling it. Cheers Blippie

Snap. I used two cable ties to hold an elbow together on our 2002 TD4. I did this as a temporary repair before changing the assembly. The same week I happened to change the plenum/escutcheon on our 1998 Camel and noticed that the same trick had been used on the vehicle which we had had a few...

It's probably the actuator. As ianda12 says, search the forum and ye shall find. Cheers Blippie

... And my point is that we know an unmodified Defender or disco can wade a darn sight deeper than the official figures, and in the same way the official wading depth for the Freelander is to be taken with a pinch of salt. Absolutely, and style is everything too. This for example, is...

Tuning-diesels for cheaper diesel tuning.

Have a look at Tuning-diesels for cheaper diesel tuning.. Cheers Blippie

If you don't fancy making your own cable up, you buy ready made kits on eBay for about twenty quid. Either option is a bit fiddly but the entire replacement assembly is about £60 so you have to ask how much fiddliness is worth the saving? Cheers Blippie

The " official " wading depths are pretty miserly for a discovery or Defender too! Cheers Blippie

Black. No; blue. No; Silver. With a silver roof. And silver grille. And silver chequer bits.

I think you could get a good diesel for that money, and £6k for trade in means your neighbour is getting a good deal, I reckon, but I'm no expert on prices. Personally I would have a look round and may be screwy drive of a diesel before you make your final decision. Buying from someone you...

Why don't you share the problem with the forum? Presumably you have had a good search on here and not found a potential solution? Cheers Blippie

Fog cut off will turn you car's fog lamp off when a trailer's fog lamp is activated. PDC? I guess that is parking distance control which will stop your car thinking you are about to reverse into your trailer. Cheers Blippie

DD3, have you actually tested the VCU? Cheers Blippie

No, course they might find one of the thirty other threads with the same question first... Yours truly Cheers Blippie

I managed it so it can't be too difficult. The Haines manual talks you through it but basically unscrew access panel, use a drift (or hit a big screwdriver with a hammer) to undo the ring, wiggle the assembly out. Cheers Blippie

No problem. Useful isn't it? Cheers Blip
