Oil change to 15w 40 sorted the tapping,the hesitation was caused by a faulty coil pack.Changed the windscreen washer bottle pumps as nothing was coming out and still getting nothing but there pumping now is there a filter somewhere that could be blocked or are the pipes prone to blocking?i have...

Check the switch is properly fitted, any movement means it is not. There are two blue plastic contacts on the top of the switch where it fits to the car, I can only assume that these need to be clicked in to place before the switch works, this can only happen if the switch is fitted correctly...

I fitted the 40mm kit from muddy mods as well I didn’t extend the brake pipes but did have to change them as the back ones were shot on the connections and wouldn’t come apart to get the strut out I was lucky with the front as the track rod ends where only a year old so came off easy.

That’s a pic of the link

Mine went off and hasn’t been on since but I don’t know if it needs time or not.

chance to rip it all out and do a manual v6?:D

I’m 31 and falling apart I’ll be a cripple by the time I’m in my 50s

I have one still in the packaging after deciding not to do it myself :oops:

I like the idea of doing the conversion but I personally couldn’t justify the cost and not to mention fact I don’t know my arse from my elbow when it comes to the engine side of things. 177 bhp isn’t to shabby, is the handling effected at all with the extra weight on the front?

There’s a group on Facebook just for Freelander 1.8 turbos.Theres a short video of a freelander with some sort of Subaru engine in it and another with a v8 of some sort,but I couldn’t imagine massive amounts of work so the 1.8 turbo will probably be the easiest option.As for the v6 I thought...

Cheers I’m going to have a look at it tomorrow not good on my feet at the moment. might just have to rob the one out of the green one for now I’m off to get coil packs plugs and 15w 40 oil for it tomorrow.

Luckily I had took it off to fit the brackets for the guard.is the actuator the bit between the solenoid and the lock mechanism I take it?

The day started off well got all the hoses changed the intercooler hose was just about the rub itself through on the screw. Then went to start the sump gaurd only to find out it’s well an truly on so covered the 13mm nuts in wd40 and went on to start the rear window guard while I was...

Fitted a CR tuning box left and bought a full set of silicon hoses which I haven’t fitted yet (bloody gout/tendinitis)The tuning box made a difference even set in the middle for power/economy a lot better pick up around 2500 revs.

I would run it and see if it brakes but I literally do around 3k a year in the silver one so couldn’t justify having two on the road.I understand a little bit in the oil is ok/common in older cars,but it was when he showed me the end of the cam sensor it was like a metallic paste?ij the timing...

All parts there engine is tappy and hesitate after oil change and oil was like a metallic treacle but still runs. 17 inch alloys,leather seats,roof bars,rubber mats (no boot),dash cup holders,all electric windows work and so do the locks,multi changer.

Yeah the HG was done in 2017 I think judging by the oil that came out it’s was like a metallic tercel changed it with 10w40 and had the cam seals replaced and timing belt(oil was changed before and hesitation was there but not as bad) Think I’m going to break her which is a shame as I love...

Been slacking with getting the car ready to give it to my father in law so I gave it a basic service and noticed a nice metallic shade to the thick old oil and there was a thick silver metallic goo on the camshaft sensor and a oil puddle around one spark plug. The car which was running alright...

Brush wise I used an old alloy wheel brush and just straightened the wire out ended up about 40cm long and just the right diameter for the manifold.
