I had dealings with a right twonk yesterday. I was driving to work and I was approaching a large roundabout where I need to turn right, well I say right but the exit is at about 4 o'clock. So on final approach and the lane splits into two, so I choose the right hand lane, makes sense yeah...

You get um everywhere. What you got to remember is they drive the RR cus they are compensating for something!!

Look at it this way. You asked if removing the cooler will damage the engine. The answer is simply that Landrover / Rover put an oil cooler there to keep the oil working. If you remove it and the oil overheats it will become too light and stop doing its job. Result, blown engine. Now if oil...

After a good look through RAVE. There could be several reasons why the compressor is not engaging. 1. Insufficent refrigerant pressure. The refrigerant pressure is monitored by what is known as a Trinary switch. What happens is the switch has three states, Low, Normal and High. If the...

What tyres can you fit on that?

There could be several reasons for this. Things that come to mind are - Tyre condition Tyre pressures, Suspension bushes Lower ball joints Tracking (Front and back) Anti roll bar bushes Drop links Track rod ends Shock absorbers No easy answer I'm afraid, you'll have to check it...

Drop the lower tray off and you can access the connector to the A/C pump clutch. The clutch is electromagnetic and it has been known for the coils to fail. Use a meter to check the 12 volts is present and if it is then disconnect the conector and check the resistance of the winding. If its...

When you say the slave cylinder broke, do you mean it came off the bracket? If so, check the bracket. I had a similar problem where one of the "fingers" that hold the slave cylinder had stress fractured. If the complete finger isn't there then the slave cylinder will slip off under load and...

Impressive MPG!! What is this treatment? Is it a fuel additive?

Now that is a result!! I hope it proves to be the fix. Incidentally, if the battery comes off when the engine is running the the alternaters voltage regulation can spike something cronic, leading to damage to connected equipment. Most on-board electronics have a disconnecter that protects...

Result!! When done than man!! BTW, you got sails on the caravan or sommat??? I can't get 40 to the gallon without a caravan. :D

The oil was suppoed to be in for life, that is why the IRD is force cooled. In practice, change it!!

You can't know what up until you get it off the car and break it open. Anything that is worn needs replacing, simple as. I've heard of people blanking off the pinion port to commit to Mondo mode but I din't know if the plate is available or if you would have to fabricate one. Personally I...

Hi Richard, No its not normal. My L series tows 1100Kg 22ft caravan at 60MPH and the temperature is rock solid at midway up the gauge. I hear what NI is saying and it is possible that the final drive is the problem. However, I would say to start with the simple things first. What is the...

I have once or twice. A 4x4 enthusiast and Geocacher up near Stroud set a series of Caches on the part of the Fosseway that is now a byway. We did those last year and that ways great fun. Had the mother-in-law in the car and you should have seen her face when we got to a water splash!! :D...

Ummm, maybe mine is too, its never come on in anger. Bugger that's jinxed it!!

I've used Towsure on previous occations. They supply "fit yourself" kits. Check this out as an example, all you need is listed here. EC Towbar- Land Rover Freelander 97-04 from Towsure

We were out Geocaching in a local village a week or two back. Its horse country there and Lanies are everywhere. We went to the village shop and there were two identical FL2s sat outside. Greal bling vehicles but what they like off road?

No problem and good luck. Dave

You changed the glow plugs but are you sure they are getting power? Worth a test, your pre-heat relay may have packed up.
