I didn't try to reweld because I was unsure how much fluid I had lost

What goes in must come out.... Mrs Kayos had a problem with her Corsa, as we don't live together I only heard it from her but it was the oil pressure switch, she put 5 litres in one week as it was just pumping back out

Well I have a welder and I have stripped and rebuilt one the "old fashioned way" but when I did my clutch I could see some seepage so wasn't sure how much had leaked out. Because of that I am currently in 2wd mode :( as I imagine no fluid won't be good I'm thinking a refillable cartridge type...

I have an adapter from a BMW 330d connecting my stereo, I modified it to remove the Iso blocks so it takes up less room. The BMW steering wheel control interface didn't work but as I never use the wheel controls I haven't bought the correct one

Most steering wheel controls are variable resistance, different buttons give a different reading from the signal wire to ground

I think this is how I will do my next one Probably with grease nipples so I can force white spirit in and accurately refil with fluid

Just been out and checked, no coolant loss and it's been about 200 miles since I last checked I'm converting to LPG next year (can we save the arguments about that for the actual thread when I start?) and I wanted to make sure the cooling isn't going to be an issue, it's a 2002 car and has the...

Waterless won't work with next years plans ;) I had the whole system checked when the first bottle failed, it was put down to being a cheapo eBay one It was hissing when I stopped and not really pressurising All I've seen on this is a bit of pink residue after around 250 miles of motorway...

Thanks for that Nodge, I was thinking 18-20 psi but it was based on a dim and distant memory I don't want a sight glass as its expensive and another point of failure, I can stick a level sensor say half way up, fill the bottle 3/4 and if the level drops I've still got some in there. I've some...

So I'm 1 year, 6000 miles, one HG and a clutch into my Freelander ownership The clutch and the HG didn't bother me as both were expected, but what has annoyed me is the coolant bottle and cap, in 6k my second one is now failing and this is 100% genuine Land Rover one I bought in person from the...

I didn't over fill it, I nursed it back to the B and B when it started acting up and went for some food and drink, then posted up for some ideas. When I checked the oil it was in the middle. The noise and lack of power are a mystery, must be related to me spilling the oil but I'm not sure how...

After 15 miles or so it was running fine, I'm guessing oil on the clutch

Driving steady it seems ok, give it some revs and it won't Rev out and holds back, then it squeals. It is very odd. I'm gonna check the cooling in the morning but can also see the cap leaking, no overheating as yet tho. Unfortunately I'm 75 miles from home and setting off back tomorrow

Squeeling definitely from gearbox end, I don't think it's over filled but it's always worth a check Cap was hissing and hoses were soft, I'm sure that's unrelated but just thought I'd post it all

So I topped the oil up, spilt a bit on the gearbox side and now it feels to be down on power and also squeals at about 3k under load HG done 5k ago but I think the cap is failing, still plenty of water and no contamination in either. Was running fine, was just a routine check and a bit of a...

Looking good What are those rear calipers? They look kinda Vauxhall?

Swapped the not very "OE quality" bulb holders and brake light switch for actual OE items, now all my rear lights work (after my mods) and I have TC and HDC back Word to the wise, when buying electrical just buy genuine

Mine was the rear wiper, if I turned the ignition off with it part way across the screen it didn't park and would drain the battery. Bit of lubrication and some fiddling soon had it happy

Yes, my std towing eye bolted both sides of the rail and didn't leave room for the towbar, when I go back to the scrappies I need to see if the there is a difference with the ones fitted to cars with a towbar

I thought the FL1 had 2 points underneath for that? No need to use the towbar or add anything
