    Freelander 2 (LR2) Headlight Upgrade?

    Back in the day I upgraded my 86 Audi coupe quattro to 100Ws all round, H4s and H7s so that was 400W main beam - before LEDs came about - but they have metal buckets and glass lenses with high watts you could melt the plastics - oh and a wiring upgrade to carry the extra current. The road was...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) random twang - clang type noise..

    Looking for a boost hose the short one attaches to the manifold and was told dealers only. - that'll be £115 + vat sir - sorry what, the hose is only about 5 inches long. I know but it comes as part of a kit you have to buy the complete assembly down to the inter-cooler. got one ordered off ebay £17

    its back with a vengeance, only happens at high revs > 3K when idle and from about 2K when driving. Looking at the sticky steering post i think this is worth a check. so steps tonight - check for surge of power steering fluid return in the header tank ( filter check) is it an easy job to clean...

    so the noise changed to something that was more easy to find - the aux belt tensioner had started to fail and was springing in and out £80 later for anew belt and tensioner and the noise is gone. had it changed in under 30 minutes but took that again to get new screws and catches to re-attach...
