brushes worn out or a huge build up of carbon dust causing problems......but probably brushes

Sounds like you are looking for a hobby that will fill your days - in that case dont go looking for a reliable one :) go for the V6 or the 1.8 and dont watch the coolant level........................you could happily spend the next 10 years rebuilding engines after the head gaskets blow...

Hi Joe interesting to hear about the remapping can you confirm that the Lynx can remap the Td4 ?? Have a good weekend

got another 2 years MOT - just have to adjust the handbrake a bit - 1 side is a bit lazy

Actually, looking at the referenced site http://montiloto.skyrock.com/3149472686-Boitier-de-fusible-et-anti-demarrage-sur-Land-Rover-Freelander-TD4.html "CI" maybe a circuit bord rather than an integrated circuit. Just look for bad soldered joints in the fuse box !!

So the guy said :- Hello everybody and thanks for your help. Out of 10 forum posts and 5 visits to main dealers this is the only reply i got. After searching for 12 hours i fixed the problem. thanks to Moniloto, reunion Island, (click on link on original post above for the story) I...

So we agree - anyway - here they do this with 4x4's

OK - guess so i though you meant that all 4 wheels were driven by the brake test system at the same time ............. with this system the tester tests 1 axle at a time but the non tested axle is free to rotate on the steel rollers

not exactly 2 wheels are on the rotating friction rolls set into the ground and the other 2 wheels are put onto mobile steel rollers (which weigh a ton !!!) got me ???

here in France the MOT test station uses additional rollers for the non tested wheels Maybe the speed of the brake test is low enough not to thicken the VCU fluid even with full slip...............???

Hi Joe I had an XR3i back in the good old days (early 90's) - had 3rd gear synchro problems almost from new. Did Ford have box quality issues then ?? thanks John

synchro on the way out ??

Hi Josh I followed the procedure in the RAVE manual which involves removing the IRD. I have read that its possible to leave the IRD in place and remove the gearbox directly BUT i guess that getting it back on would be more complicated due to aligning all the shafts........ Taking the IRD off...

Hi Alibro where do you buy your (good) window regulator repair kits I need to do both rear door windows thanks digby

Hi there Are you getting good compression in the cylinders ?? this could compromise good starting ability

i had the same problem - found a frayed vacuum pipe between the main vac line and the controller for the EGR

maybe we should fill a container with dead Td4's and parts and sell it to our friends in NZ ??

Bought it a 15 amp fuse for the brake light circuit. I blew the fuse yesterday when plugging in the trailer - got the 2 Amigo's - spent 30 minutes on here looking for the answer - checked fuse this morning .................... Bingo Should be fixed when i go outside in 30 mins or so

cash em both in and get the X3 !!!!!
