Hi chaps, just hoping for some advice? It's now 2600 miles since the FIP was resealed, still runs, but now has an intermittent fault that is becoming more regular. Starts up first turn and idles smoothly at 750. From cold she drives faultlessly for 5 or so miles, then sometimes starts to...

:):):):):):):):) Hi Chaps, Just a quick update.............. Well I followed the instructions emailed to me by Dave, (Biketeacher) and found his detailed info easy to follow, and job simple to do, (Much easier than I had imagined!) Result.......TRUCK WOULDN'T START! Check, Re-Check/ Still...

Cheers guy's!

Can anyone advise of somewhere in England to get said O-rings? Most on ebay are Poland;Latvia.

Many thanks to all for their input,(Brian,Wammers,Datatek,Alan and Dave) going to try renewal of seals tomorrow,(Watch this space! lol) Given me the confidence! In the words of Arnie, "I'll be back!

Must say a "Big" thank you to Biketeacherdave,(Absolute Guru) Many thanks for your time and effort!

Think that mine has had a replacement engine at some stage, has BMW on rocker covers? (A mate said normally has Land Rover on!) Gave them engine No. - They said should be ok even down to electrics,as I had read somewhere that designations A,B,and C were used for settings?

Hi Datatek, Any chance you can expand on what you say? Spoke to Bosch tech earlier, and they said pump is identical, Certainly looks it! Regards, Troy

Hi Dave, done hopefully! Troy

Hi Alan........ Think I may need to change whole pump, (easier) Just been and looked, and also leaking from Hi pressure, (Delivery/Distributor) unit also, so looks like most seals have failed at once! 165,000 miles, have another unit from a 40,000 525 diesel Beemer! Thanks for help Troy

Thanks Tomcat, as they say at Tesco, "Every little helps"! Is there an alternative to the correct socket,(Triangular)anti-tamper screw? Regards, Troy

Hi, Just enquiring if it is possible to change the top O,ring type seals at the top of the FIP easily? mine is pouring as much diesel out through seals as into engine, though still running!

Thanks Matt! It's a good start, Certainly cheaper than I've found anywhere else!

Can anyone recommend the #1 Supplier of Value for money Clutch parts for Freelander's?

I would be extremely grateful also! Please hippo. Regards, Troy

Is there any good threads on clutch change With diags/photos available?

Thanks for that idea Nodge..... Can I do any more damage if it has pushed through pressure plate? I can move carrier arm and rod, (that goes into casing) back towards slave cylinder about 1 inch There is no resistance or 'catching' during this. Regards TROY

HI Everyone, thanks for all help so far, though I think some of you have misread...... When unit exploded, having read the historic posts, I chsnged the master/slave sealed unit and the bracket all new as mine were clearly damaged... The arm moves about an inch before you can hear it engage...

Hi Kizzeh, Yes plenty of fluid everywhere! Any particular reason why you ask? Symptom of something? Regards, Troy

Many thanks, arm moves smoothly... Over an inch, which was as making me think... as car was driving perfectly, No slip, No grinding then just bang and foot to floor! Saw threads about cylinders...one item plug and play and bracket problems. .. Mine was bent, sheared from metal fatigue and slave...
