    A bit of a strange one.....

    How much damage do they do if they try and yank them out of the window channel? The LR ones stick on and stay on, I have not been able to pull them off you can just about see them in this picture - like "eyebrows" on the doors

    BMW Engine Pic

    I hate to say it, but, it isn't the best one you will ever find It is the most informative for Landrovers, and the banter can be a killer however, I mainly spend my time on a certain Vintage American Motorcycle site, and, those guys send parts out worldwide to each other at no cost or just...

    Remember to save the pain

    Same thing for the side windows - nothing like the twang of broken regulator wires on a frosty morning as you go to open the window - oh and the joy of stripping the door card so you can prop the glass back up shut with a lump of 2x2 :cool:

    The genuine article is only about £25 direct from a BMW dealer Do a search on here for Crankcase Breather Replacement

    Nope It's only on the BMW bulletin. The BMW dealers sell a nifty replacement that is more like a Dyson than the filter that gets clogged up Doubt you will get a LR dealer to fit that or even own up to knowing about it.

    It's 4 years since I bought mine, but they weren't expensive They are made to specifically fit the doors - they stick on the paint No idea about anybody elses.

    Well you would find out very quickly because the BMW TD4 engine is a DIESEL whereas, The crappy head gasket problem engine(s) is PETROL as in the K series 4cyl 1.8litre and the KV6 2.5litre What did it say in the advert, on the V5 etc and what did you insure it as?

    That first one doesn't have the acoustic cover on second one has a later cover Was wondering why you would want a pic of one? Are you looking to buy and want to know what you are looking at under the bonnet?

    TD4 Auto gear box problem?

    Don't be worrying about the wheels turning in opposite directions - that's just the effect of the differential The main thing is to check that each wheel will freely turn with the handbrake off The axle stands are a safety issue - many of us do it, but I've seen a car come off a Jack, so...

    TD4 Auto gear box problem?

    Quite right too but, your problem sounded suspiciously like locked on handbrake drum/s so, if you have a good jack and a pair of axle stands then you have a free diagnostic and, if you are handy with tools, then a low cost repair Rule this out first before you start fretting over...

    TD4 Auto gear box problem?

    Absolutely mate, Jack up both sides at the same time so you get no effect from the 4 wheel drive system. The front calipers can also bind Easily checked - after a short drive, stop and put your hand near the wheels - some warmth is usual (the disk will be hot), but if you can't even touch...

    Numberplate Removal

    You will notice that they are sold as a "Show Plate" - which means - not for use on the Public Highway. Only thing you can have is the correct colour, font supplers name and postcode plus a GB/Euro logo In order to minimise vehicle cloning, an increasing number of plates are made of a...

    Towing with a TD4

    Moved my caravan today - first time I've used the Freelander to tow it - was really impressed with the stability and performance

    TD4 Auto gear box problem?

    Just for giggles - check that your rear brakes haven't locked on - they are prone to bind - had that happen to me
