Nowt worse than a broken 'Hoop' Nodge. Luckily there are creams and suppositories that can help but if I am honest(from my own personal experience) once it's broke.... it's broke...

Hoho How Silly Have always found the dipstick on the TD4 difficult to remove. Technique was to go gorilla on it and invariably lose the tug of war contest. However, after deploying my 'slide rule' and the distant memory of Pythagoras I have managed to 'crack the code' and want to share it with...

Hello 'Freaklanders' All good I hope with everyone? Just a quick visit, I have been very busy of late having returned from Spain, re qualifying to drive trucks(legally) again and moving house in-between working on my van...and my daughters TD4 .. Have finally gotten around to replacing the...

Changed a yellow indicator bulb on daughters facelift TD4.....Found out about the 'under wing access' panel vefore attempting. Old bulb replaced..indictator back online. Old bulb looked okay but replacement sort it. Forgot to test old bulb afterwards....my bad...

Just to add that this product is a load of bull****. There is a 'young chap' on youtube who had a rather 'earthy channel' regards motorbikes and engineering. He is discussing this I some depth and is no fool(like everyone on here!!) This FTC product is a complete sham and is under investigation...

Hello Everyone, One of the advantages of being a security consultant is the ability to not do any security consulting when you want and basically watch youtube doing 'research' all day..... Well, have been going through many different subjects etc, mostly quite good videos in my opinion and...

Looks good...

If you find a 'cure' for the 'coking' process you could fall foul of two 'camps' on this forum, those that have a need to bypass any system, therefore circumventing motor manufacturing engineering (therefore nullifying those members 'input') and those who need to replace the original part, with...

If you've got it off, then might as well give it a clean. That's what maintenance is all about for the 'home mechanic'. It doesn't cost anything, unless you've got to use some of the products mentioned about. Main thing is that it works okay. My EGR is shot and has been 'replaced', if the...

This is becoming a 'mini' epic thread....great input and very interesting...just as well we don't all drink in the same pub as there would be no birds in that bar...although maybe a few in the 'lounge'?? Many thanks...

Thats good news to hear....so it's not quite 'run in' then...? Yep, it's beginning to sound like 'badly dubbed porn' which is no bad thing. Cheers, Nodge...interesting ditty about the Transit...thought 'Puma' was a weird name for LandRover to choose for an engine....'Duck Billed Platypus' would...

Excellent, many thanks for the advice..

Thanks Ali Have seen a couple of videos about how to do a basic check of DMF condition and was thinking the same. 'Our' TD4 has done 122,000 miles. Regards changing it the question/argument was more for if there was a 'Landyzone 'hack' (like servicing a VCU for instance B-), or if 'Zoners'...

As I am in Spain this is really a 'What have I NOT done to my Freelander today...' Daughter has just called to say that the rear L/H window is stuck about a fingers width down from fully up. Think the weather is crap up there ATM....Should have fixed this when I was home the last time..(my...

Okay, it was about a month ago....I bought some other stuff then too but think the bearings were about £38-00 each. Not cheap but cheaper than some places. I just ordered them via Ian Sim (LandRover Specialist in Ladybank, Fife) When I collected them they were in a 'Britpart'(****part) box but...

Might as well post the 'Badly Dubbed Porn'..for all to see.. Viewer discretion advised....

That would be cheating and not 'special tool' status although I do have a roll of fencing wire in my van for 'bragging rights'...I mean, you never know....

Cheers Nodge...was on the Wickes web site and my search for 'Hooky things' came up a blank.....Go figure....

Okay folks, Going to throw a big stone in the pond here....TD4 dual mass flywheel and possible looming clutch replacement...... Anyone got any thoughts on doing a single mass flywheel conversion?? Was thinking of a DMF replacement at the same time as the clutch job....but noticed a...

Thanks Ali, will have to have a look see next time I venture to a building suppliers...they look slightly different, specialist, something that must be had, essential to life, addition to tool kit 'hooky' things....
