The early vehicles were grey bumpers and then went black at a minor facelift in I think '02/'03. Allan

After removing the remains of the captive nut a roofing type 'J' bolt is an easy solution. A wing nut makes removal even easier. Allan

It is an awkward job. The undertray has to be dropped and the rh wheelarch panel removed. You can cut the old belt off. IIRC the aux belt change should be done at 95k. The tensioner is not replaced. You have to use an open end (24?) spanner to rotate the tensioner to allow fitment of the new...

Cut the waffles. Allan

Both this one and the 90 degree elbow one are virtually service items and they aren't that expensive to change and a lot easier to change in the workshop than on the side of the road. Ask me how I know :doh:. Allan

I've got the same size tyres as yourself. I recently replaced with Pirelli Scorpions after discovering that this size has very limited coverage by all the manufacturers and those that are available are expensive. If AT's are a must have for you then consider a cheap set of 16" wheels. Allan

Your search should have revealed that early TD4s had under bonnet fuel filter and later ones have it under the rear wheel arch. As James says ^^^^ for removal but be careful when disconnecting the pipes, they can break if you're hamfisted with them. Allan

For smart relay it's only one wire anyway. Depending on the age of your 'van you don't need both the fridge and battery charge wiring up anyway as a relay in the 'van takes care of the changeover. You will get wiring diagram with a smart relay kit. Allan

Join GLASS and thereby get access to Trailwise for lane information. Allan

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. NO Allan

As far as I am aware a Freelander shouldn't go on the rollers unless the roller machine has the capability of contra rotating rollers. That is for the brake test one roller goes forward and the other backwards. The differential rotates to allow this without any drive back through the propshaft...

If you don't want it for use with the roof off then make one. I cut the shape from ply and covered it with needle cord carpet. Mine is black but I'm sure you would find something suitable. Cost = minimal compared to the real thing. Allan

Well done, another triumph for DIY mechanics. Allan

You bleed it just like any hydraulic clutch system. After you have installed the new master cylinder it is likely that some air will have got in the system as the self sealing coupling don't always self seal. There is a nipple on the "out" pipe from the clutch slave cylinder. Take care as it...

Well done Anguslives! Hope all goes well for you. If only the tratter boys didn't wander so much... Allan

The change in rolling radius with a 225/65/17 from a 225/55/17 is considerable and may result in the vehicle feeling overgeared. Also while the van tyres will have the load rating what about the speed rating from your insurance point of view ? I've just fitted Pirelli Scorpions which were £118...

Great News. So at the end of the day was it a single injector that was the problem or something else as well? Allan

^^^^^^That's fine if the injector isn't seized in. A lot are and whether profesional or amateur it is a horrendous job to get a seized one out. It doesn't need a lot of strip to take an injector out so it should be minimal time to put the vehicle back in a driveable condition to take it...

And you are apparently a teddy bear who has a Disgay.:D Allan

1. Of course anyone may post in a public forum. 2. They can if they have the knowledge and experience of the vehicle but from some replies it is clear that a lot do not. I don't go trawling the other sections of the forum to post in topics relating to vehicles I don't have knowledge of. It's...
