Took the Landy Sheffield to Lanakshire and back today - 540 mile round trip 9hrs! Had a close shave (i think) between fill ups - my TD4 Auto 02 can do around 450 on a run (33-34) but light popped on before I was expecting it and about 40 miles before a station? Anyone any idea how much...

mm aircon and auto think i'll leave the scrambled eggs

thnx guys. I'm wondering if it worth just swapping it out for sake of £100 if I do it myself. Never done a radiator before - is it "easy" on the freelander?

Hi folks, been a while. My trusty 02 TD4 auto been in for MOT today - straight through - just a number plate bulb needed! During the service he spotted a small drop in coolant level over last yr - around a pint max. My mechanic said small leak from radiator but far from worth swapping out...

that article is 2 years old. The gov back tracked on the retrospective tax - and I doubt the incoming one will re-instate it. It makes any pre 2006 Disco/Range a better buy from a tax point of view.

Wait till spring - used 4x4 prices are at a record high since summer 08 high fuel prcies. You could get a 54 for around 6K back then. The snow is pushing prices up and lack of supply also. Your dealer is quite correct and there is no much thats decent still available. An 02 Serangetti like...

Sorry to hear of your predicament - it's giving me the heebeegeebees all this talk of failed turbos and new engines! On a positive note if it's worst case I think you can get it repaired much cheaper than you think. Recon TD4 can be had for £1200 on ebay, turbo £600 and full exchaust for a...

Anyone know the cost new?

Derbyshire - u?

If you'd seen the state the Mrs left it in after "borrowing" it for a month during the snow - horses and dogs. Whilst using hers I had to replace a tyre that was nearly off the rim, new wipers and battery - all "problems" for months that I never heard about. It's offroading next Sat -...

Tis is indeed Dave - wheres that Stella? Oiled the whole door check strap, hinges etc - it shuts smoother and quieter than any of the others now. Also gave it a wash, removed all salt/dirt from last month and vac'd it out. Now next weekend i'm going to take a look at the B pillar...

Welcome aboard! Dealers be a good option, i've snap the odd one before but it doesnt seem to cause a rattle or be any less well attached. They will only be a few pounds at most for a bag. I think these are them also on ebay, but mine are white. LAND ROVER DOOR CARD FIXING STUDS (GENUINE) X...

Heres a picy of the offending lock. The external mechanism took the most work to get fuctioning.

Success! Door trim off - thats the easy bit. Banged and banged it but wouldn't shift. Kept pulling the internal opener and suddently after about half hour it opened. Removing lock is a bit of a pain - managed to get the internal/external release off. I think however I snapped a small...

Good work - spray the rest as a precaution, as I believe the cold is on it's way back.

Darmain excellent work - I will give it a go tomorrow and advise. I believe it's actually suposed to be a half decent day tomorrow. Im sure it's a similar issue with mine and just seized - hence I didnt like the sound of drilling it out if it's fixable. I'm going to WD40 the rest of the lock...
