    Webasto FBH - Help me diagnose failure?

    Today I have mostly been removing the wheel arch lining to get to the FBH. Much dremmeling of rusty screw heads was done. Once I got to the FBH, I discovered the wires I got from my junk box were too fat to fit the FBH 6-pin connector (they were 2.5mm OD and all the wires on the landy seem to be...

    Battery Fixing Bracket

    This is an old thread, but I finally got around to removing the rusty battery hold-down bolt today. I needed four passes with a dremel disc cutter, and 3/4" extension and hammer to persuade it out. Now I guess I need a J-bolt...

    Webasto FBH - Help me diagnose failure?

    Ooo very interesting. I finally managed to summon the energy to fit the new dosing pump. I noticed a very corroded black wire near the dosing pump mountings - anyone know what this is for? It didn't affect the dosing pump test. The photo abouve shows the plastic carrier for the dosing...

    Td4 Thermostat Replacement - The Way To Do It!

    I felt a quick update today was needed, with the weather being 5 Celcius. I thought I would compare the warm-up time of my 2004 freelander with new OEM thermostat installed against Arctic2's observations. I was driving along about 30 to 40 mph. The temperature gauge started to move after 3...

    Td4 Thermostat Replacement - The Way To Do It!

    You will need both, and a set of plasters for you knuckles (or someone with slim hands - mine a pretty tiny, but I found it a challenge). I got my T8s from Machine Mart, and they both needed to be 'adjusted' with an angle grinder to get in the tight space that is left when you jack the engine up...

    Interesting, what software are you using to talk to the OBD?

    Refurbished wheels

    I suspected that might be the case. It isn't the removal that is the issue, but the mounting. I have to sequence the bolt tightening very carefully or the wheel jams at a wonky angle. Seems to me having a spigot and conical nuts is overkill. -Hazel

    Refurbished wheels

    My rear wheels are a devil to fit, as the spigot on the axle is a very close fit to the ID of the wheels. I would worry that a referber might not get this ID the same, and the first mounting would peel off the coating. I am tempted to dremel out the inside of the wheels so they are easier to...

    freelander td4 m47r manual

    Nope, same thing happens. It is 99% all there, but all the figure text is messed up, the first one on p 5/78 the figure title below the engine is chopped and illegible. I have the same happening with the latest Adobe Reader installed on Win7.64 and my Win7.32 machine.

    Webasto FBH - Help me diagnose failure?

    My T91 ECU and Remote arrived by Royal mail this morning (No sign as yet of the wiring or antenna from Poland). Anyway being impatient I decided to hook it up and pair the remote to the ECU. I checked the remote battery condition, 3.2V, and then hunted for the installation instructions - webasto...

    Td4 Thermostat Replacement - The Way To Do It!

    I wish I had seen this before I replaced my thermostat, it was the worst job to do in the world, took me two days and over 16 hours. One torx bolt took most of the time. I don't think it is just for men this flu thing. I have had a severe cough and cold for 6 weeks now! I only managed 1 day of...

    Facelift instrument cluster repair

    You should be able to get the wiring information from the "RAVE" disk. There are .ISO images available, try the LandyZone search box at the top of the page. The wiring manual will show pictures of the various connectors, you just need to figure out which ones are 12v, GND, and ignition.

    Webasto FBH - Help me diagnose failure?

    All the connectors are readily available of fleabay, the link I put up for the dosing pump belongs to a seller that also sold me a set of the FBH connectors. If you are on a budget, I would suggest wiring in two switches. One to activate the FBH (it will run using the same input from the...

    Webasto FBH - Help me diagnose failure?

    Hi Arctic2, my pleasure! I haven't fitted it to the truck yet. In the mean time I accidentally ordered a Telestart kit, T91 ECU from UK, a LR remote from Lithuania, and an Aerial and connector from Poland. All in £100. I'm looking forward to pressing the button to make the FBH heat up the...

    Facelift instrument cluster repair

    Looks like you are getting there. So all the 'unfunctioning' LEDs are infact OK? My guess would be all the LEDs on the PCB are grouped through a few anode 'feed' resistors like R97. I would try to see if there are any other 'feed' resistors. Then try to power the PCB up on the bench. Most...

    Webasto FBH - Help me diagnose failure?

    Photobucket is back up so here is some "showing-off by pictures". Figuring it out: Remove dead bit: New bit arrives, sort of looks like the dead bit. All together for another test, although without gaskets on the PCB cover. WTT info looks good: Water gets to 72 C, and then it does...

    Help! Victim of bodge!

    Isn't there supposed to be a plastic sound proof lid that goes on top of all that stuff? If it were installed, as LR intended, the bolt would be one of the anchor points for the cover, and the stuff underneath would maybe last a bit longer? Having said that, I bought one of the cover thingies...

    Webasto FBH - Help me diagnose failure?

    Success! I got bored with waiting for the ebay seller to reply to me so I took the control PCB out of the unit, reverse engineered the glow plug drive circuit, figured out how it should work, and started checking the main stressed components, and found a dead resistor right away. Replaced the...
