Oh, you'll get slammed for this :D It's about the oldest question on here However - endless references to circuitous threads really doesn't help. Depending on model/year - the brake lights can still work with the 3 amigo fault showing. Easiest, cleanest and cheapest fix is to get...

About 4 years ago, when I bought mine, - I looked at the remote switch for the TBH so I could blip it from the kitchen :rolleyes: The kit included that silencer and cost a whopping £1400 from the dealer. Needless to say, I go out and warm it up a bit earlier :D

Who passes on cars without key remotes? Seems the oddest practice to me, I can imagine all sorts of scenarios - most not good

Well, it would leave £40 for the wife's crimble present. Happy days :)

I picked up a whole brand new winder mechanism with motor and cables etc for around £50 new off evilbay last year Wasn't Britpart but someother copy, seems to work - and that was only because one of my spools had failed

Haven't tried those, but I did make my own cables up It would seem the plastic spool can be damaged easily and there is a company supplying one with a set of cables for not much money. If you buy stainless - they'll outlast your transmission or electrics which is the most likely thing to...

My appologies Austin, I just read another thread and realised who you are (wouldn't have guessed from the opening post, and wondered what you meant then) Makes my transmission statement look naive :rolleyes::D

Good luck, Would be interested to hear how this works out

That is right on the cusp My TD4 is a December 2000 registration, one of the early ones I have to be very careful when buying parts - must go by VIN and effective Maunfacture Year of 2001 If I go by the registration plate or actual manufacture date then I get the wrong stuff - like Handbrake...

Possible, but don't rule out transmission lock up in those circumstances

Which bushes did you change? sounds like diff mount - but a bit new for that what tyre/wheel combo do you have?

Never heard of it, but has the fluid been changed regular? Could be the ABS/TC pump being triggered by an HDC function call in the software/wiring

On a cold morning/day/evening, when the ambient temp has dropped below 5deg C - - upon starting your engine - you'll hear a ghostly roar from under the front left bumper. This wll sound like a small jet engine and will be acccompanied by exhaust smoke under said area. It usually freaks...

Probably not as the disc/caliper sizes are different after 2000 - unless those wheels originally came off a later model. However I have a set of 16" in the for sale section that would fit.

Same for me - clean up the earth contact on the pcb in the roof unit not a big job. Condensation gets up there, but the roof arial mount is just above - and that can leak as well

Earlier than facelift - it's to do with the larger discs and rear drum design which came in late 2000 - as on all TD4

The abscence of dots/dimples does not mean they won't fit Mine fit and don't have any

Only way I can see is to defrost them thoroughly However, over the years I have found that "Rainex" applied properly inside and out BEFORE the bad weather goes a long way to help The other way is to buy a Half-Car cover from someone like Halfrauds measure to get the right one that will cover...

I have found the Freelander to be incredibly good on snow and ice, as said, a good set of AT tyres works wonders Out of interest, anyone ever tried "SnowSocks"? AutoSock/Auto Sock.The Textile wheel cover for Driving in Ice and Snow.Auto Socks get you Home!

Always good to start with checking those brakes, easy and free to rule out. There will be some resistance in turning compared to a front wheel drive because they you are rotating a diff, the other wheel and the propshaft. Now you can turn to the gearbox. Do the wiring checks first - after...
