    Freelander 2, 16" wheels

    I put one of the wheels up against the old ones still on the car and the outer diameter of the tyre is very slightly bigger, just waiting until my 16" tyres run down then I'll try the new ones, I can't be the first to have done this.

    Freelander 2, 16" wheels

    My FL2 has 16" wheels and tyres are getting harder to find, so I bought a set of 17" from an ad on e Bay. Anyone done this ? The rolling diameter is very similar due to the tyre size but I wondered if its necessary to let the ECU know the wheels are changed.

    Where do you buy your spares??

    I'm sure most people on here will be able to tell good and bad stories about all of the suppliers, I have certainly had ups and downs with some of the big ones. Watch out for the ones on e Bay showing pictures of parts which you order then they supply brit part ones. They often have little get...

    Prop Shaft on the Way Out - how long have I got?

    I enjoyed doing mine it's so long since I did a HS prop shaft joint, steady job on a Saturday morning. The prop shaft tool let's you get into the bolts which are pretty difficult without. Press lots of grease in the bearing cups to help keep the needle rollers in place, it's a pain if one...

    Prop Shaft on the Way Out - how long have I got?

    My vehicle had about 120k mls but I have no way of knowing if the props were original the tool is like a 3/8 drive extension with a thin wall socket on the end. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290777452083?hash=item43b3afce33:g:4EAAAOSwpNxdqar6

    Prop Shaft on the Way Out - how long have I got?

    I had a squeak from mine last year, traced it to the prop shaft could see a bit of red rust in there. Bought two GKN bearing yoke assemblies, it's a very easy job to do them and didn't take long. But you need the prop shaft bolt tool.

    300 Tdi Rebuild

    Yes I thought how much you tried on that engine, hope its still going well. Mine is a little bit flat, but picks up suddenly when the boost reads about 12 psi, but this is being measured at the bypass solonid pipe, probably slightly less in the manifold. I wondered if a turbo overhaul would help.

    300 Tdi Rebuild

    Just wondered where you bought the turbo, my td5 is a bit flat and I wonder if the turbo is getting worn, I am considering replacing the core, looking around some suppliers add very strict conditions to their warranty conditions, making it very hard to meet their terms.

    So Hands Up...Whos Sprayed There Door Cards?

    Did mine, tried washing and jet washing but in the end I bought some spray paint from halfords and I was so chuffed I did the rear door too. Then went back and bought some black and did the cubby box lid. Edit Here's the stuff https://www.halfords.com/search?q=vinyl+spray+paint

    Random Vacuum Line - Wot?

    On the TD5 the vacuum line powers the EGR valve. But does the 300tdi have an EGR system? Thereis no ecu to control it.

    Looked at this last night and spent some time thinking about it. I don’t recognise it and I’ve had my engine stripped right down. I even went back to some of my pictures from the strip down but cant see anything like it . https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/at-last-the-big-td5-job.349420/...

    Service Kit

    Never used that one, but I've had a problem with oil filters in the past, I buy filters and oil separately and use LR filters, cost a little more but better to know its OK, some of the better brands should be good. Oil is a whole story on its own, look up the number of threads on here. In the...
