I think the replies so far only highlight what Wassall was getting at. Why do all the Discgay owners come and post in the Freelander section? It's not as though they haven't got enough problems of their own to find the answers to. Allan

Not bad MichaelM, two posts, same topic , no introduction in Welcome, barge straight in. Allan

A search of the forum would have revealed this thread. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/td4-injector-removal-48915.html A slide hammer is useless, although you'll get lots of suggestions from people who haven't actually done the job.

The Syncrones I've just had replaced were 97 load rating, they still had some tread left but were cracking badly. I had Pirelli Scorpions fitted at £118 each from my local independent tyre place. They are classed as an M+S tyre and have proved OK in the snow. Allan

It may be worth giving the system a bleed however when mine had this symptom it turned out to be the master cylinder giving up the ghost. A new cylinder assembly cured it. A new master cylinder and pipe assembly comes prefilled with fluid and the system will only need bleeding if the quick...

Yes. Allan:rolleyes:

:D Why bother this has been covered several times before ? Allan

Try L.R.Series.com they list quite a few Freelander auxiliary light units and indeed the pods themselves. If you can't identify the parts from the listing give them a ring. I have have had good service from them. Allan

A common solution is to cut a hole to access the engine oil drain plug and fit a cover plate using speed nuts. Allan

Don't know about the burning rubber smell but your other descriptions indicate the drive system is ok. The tightening up with steering lock applied is the result of the viscous coupling working transferring drive to the rear. If you were to turn on a gravelly surface you would see the rear wheel...

You can have the injectors refurbished for much less than the cost of new ones. The BMW engine is used in the Rover 75 range as well as Freelander so you may find injectors for sale at less than Land Rovers dealer prices. They can be a bit of trouble to remove though. Allan

Having replaced the rear window cable a couple of times using motorcycle brake cable I don't really want do it again as the wear on other components mainly the spiral winding drum is getting such that they are unservicable. I have come across this seller. Not only do you get the cables inner and...

A dealer will be able to identify the correct part from the vehicles VIN number. Allan

It's a great idea. I'm sure the dog won't mind no rear seats and if the one a guy uses here at work is typical the dog guard in a commercial doesn't go right across at full height. The only other issue is whether you can cope with there being no side windows. Allan

I believe that Freelander 1 was designed to have a very stiff monocoque. Check out the original advertising blurb. You will notice that if you jack up one corner of the vehicle the doors will still open and shut easily. This is not the case with some inferior SUV where a door cannot be opened...

The smart relay is the way to go. The cable for the single wire to the front should come with the relay. Pass the wire from the passenger compartment at the top left corner into the engine bay through the gromit that is already there and has a nipple like moulding on it for extra wires ( I put...

Sorry forgot to mention there are some photos of the extraction tool I made earlier in this thread. Allan

Hi there, The tool I made required the studs to be extracted. That can't happen unless the C clamp is removed. I ground the sides of the injector body to allow the C clamp to be removed, because I needed the clamp undamaged. With the clamp out of the way the studs could be unscrewd and the tool...

You can't just let the gas go into atmosphere. It should be removed by an air-con specialist (mobile ones exist). It will probably be as cheap to have them replace the damaged pipe as well since the system will need rechargiing with gas anyway. Allan

Why ever would the vacuum hose connection be drilled through into the airway? Surely it's just a solid stub pipe for somewhere to put the hose? The spin down noise can be eliminated by disconnecting and plugging the vacuum hose on the "in" side of the EGR solenoid valve mounted on the block. See...
