I do have a weighty torque wrench but rounded 1 if the corners attempting it. Theyre super soft & in all round bad shape. Pre wd40'd but to no avail. Looks like I could do with new calipers etc is cutting the bolts & replacing everything a possibility if all else fails?

Front discs/pads arrived. Removed wheels. Caliper bolts stuck. Replaced wheels. Impact driver ordered

Also thanks for the input. I do like the look of yours & road noise isn't too much if an issue I rarely exceed 40 where I am. 20-30 most of the time. Although cheap tyres are just that with regards to the insas. At least I'm assuming there cheapos

Ah that's a very good point about them not being hubcentric :/ I'm quite a fan of the HSE 3 spoke type 17's but if I'm gonna lose my 18's I may as well go for 16's & chunkier tyres as opposed to the 1" gain with the 3 spoke. The idea of chunkier tyres is not only for my dog walks/trips to the...

Firstly forgive me I know this topic has been done to death but I need a little updated info for my specific wheel size. Currently I have the 235 50 r18's on a Sport model but am after some chunkier tyres. The nearest to the size I can find is 235 "55" 18 AT3 & wondered if any modifications...

Hi there are these still about? just wondered what wheels were on the adventurer & whether or not any side steps/runners. Many thanks.

I park on a fairly steep hill so God help me. Will be replacing soon it's on the to do list.

Yeah got one from screwfix. Much needed it removed my previously unremovable bolts.

Gun gum bodge is holding, no more power loss. New coolant tank & Haynes manual received. It was only mot'd in may (before I owned it) & anti roll bars/joints/arms etc are rusted right out on wheel arch side. Not mentioned on advisories the only 1 was front discs. There's a twanging boiiiing...

I have those but the covers have never been off so not much help here Do they come on with the fog lights? That must be fun for other road users

Ive no experience with these but had similar issue on a saab. Do you have to use your old ecu on an engine change or 1 from the new engine? Maybe different settings/Missing remap/egr if using a different 1. You mentioned a few differences so hopefully these were just missing parts as opposed...

I was in the same boat but with a little help & advice I've managed to get hands on & do things myself. A service is a good place to start as far as learning goes imo. There are videos & plenty of help about.

Ty now I know where to look AND what it's for:D Tyvvm cheers again

Tyvvm now I know where to look. Missing it not :/ Thanks again

I purchased a service kit a while back & they sent me this small fuel type filter. I have seen some have them along the upper firewall somewhere but I don't see one in mine. Is mine missing, hidden or not needed on my model. It's 04 td4. Thanks in advance

Thank you I shall check the points. I did pull the adapter from it's metal bracket & give it a jiggle but didn't thoroughly inspect. Cheers again

I initially thought it was an egr cooler pipe & blocking it caused the pressure to split the pipe as the egr kit i got came with the extra cooler blocking plates etc (apparently for my model) Either way my own fault. More research before jumping on items until I know what's what.

Ive put the default egr back on as if nothing else it supports the split metal pipe & holds it in place. I'm going to do a temporary repair & as the part gets extremely hot (melted my foil & gorilla tape bodge up) & am wondering if I should use a tad of gun gum then wrap in aluminium tape/extra...

According to vin it is an 04. As I say it sends power & tries to connect but to no avail. I'll see if I have the radio code & if all else fails I may remove battery terminal for 10 mins or so. Providing this isn't an issue on Freelanders. Resetting things etc :/

Ok thanks I'll find out the actual year of manufacture or however you would word it. Cheers
