I might be interested, will let you know when you've got the pic's up

Used a normally open contact block from a control switch, taped to gear lever knob, connected to wires on brake light switch with a length of flex when brake light switch failed. (all from stores at work) When applying brakes...press button on gearlever..brake lights come on. simples:). At...

Some years ago I had to apply for a reg document for a honda xl600rg that I got without a reg doc, one of the questions dvla asked was what colour is it, from what i can remember the guide lines were 1, if more than one colour, maximum of two colours can be entered on form. 2, if vechicle mostly...

Used to Mrs Anybody's freelanders, she's had both 1.8 & td4, to tow her horse trailer to get horse to shows, vets etc. They towed it quite well, especially the td4 auto. Last time we had to get horse to vets towed horse trailler with my 2.5n/a hybrid. If it wernt for the hgv drivers slowing...

Probably didn't have enough oil left in it to leak out until you filled it up:)

Ah.. I was not told what the sensors actually did or controlled. I was shown the static reading of the 2nd sensor on the diagnostic equipment when it was connected to the car and as the tickover settled down a bit after I changed the sensor I presumed (as I said in my 1st post) that changing the...

Ok, well thought it was worth posting as it seemed to sort ours

How constant is 'pretty constant' the one on ours was not fluctuating at all, at any engine speed. As I said once I fitted the new sensor it ran better and no longer cut out on us. If the 2nd sensor is giving an incorrect reading would the engine management system adjust the fuelling etc to try...

Hi Chris Had a 1.8 FL that would cut out ocassionlly, would also sometimes 'hunt' slightly on tickover. eventually a mechanic noticed that diagnostics showed the second lamda sensor giving a very constant reading (1st sensor reading was fluctuating normally) Tickover hunting was being caused by...

I fitted a military 90 front bumber, the one with the central towing point, to my SIII with a small mod to the bumber. Using a 4" grinder I cut 2 short slots either side of each mounting bracket on the underside of the bumber to allow the front spring hangers to slot into. Other than that...

Wasn't there a cutoff date after which the points system came in in which if too much of the orginal vechicle had been changed it lost it's original reg, was reregistered on a Q plate and in the case of pre 72 vechicles, lost the tax exemption. As this is advertised as an unfinnished project...

Only prob i've experianced with a td4 losing coolant was a slight but steady drop in coolant level, finaly traced to the water pump housing o ring weeping, from memory located at back of engine on drivers side. look for deposits left when coolant/antifreeze evaporates.

Tis worth tracing wires to see if it still does sumut. Had a switch on mine that I didn't know what it did so followed wires, found it turned cooling fan on - in fact as the thermostatic switch had been taken out of circuit was the only thing that turned fan on:eek:

Are they still for sale?

Just got renewal notice from Adrian Flux, £404.36 for a modified S3/hybrid:eek:, phoned Lancaster's, quoted £209.16:) Phoned Flux to cancel renewal, when they asked why told them been quoted 200, they said they would see what they could do, then came back with a quote of £210.14:confused...

I qualify for the 'club' discount on my insurance by being a member of LZ

I have a 1984 A reg. 88" that I think might have been ex coastguard, (the one in my avatar) underneath the brown paint it is the same blue as yours. There was evidence of it having been fitted with a winch driven from the crankshaft and flashing lights fitted in the grill, the hand throttle is...

Looks nice, petrol or diesel?

corrected for accuracy;)

Replaced the worn anti-roll bar link on Mrs Anybody's freelander today, hopefully that will stop the clunking noise that she has been complaning about, through how she can hear anything above the radio is beyond me:confused:
