I’m wanting to use a 97 - 01 alternator from a freelander, the sort that has a vacuum pump between the pulley and alternator, I’m generally enquiring about the oil system integrated in it. Is the oil for lubrication or cooling or both? Does the supply need to be restricted to a pressure? or...

Take the dash apart enough so tou can see all the wiring, check the back of the key and the plug, concentrate your time on any electrical bodges that have been made

When you say the chassis wont bend/crumple at all you are right to a point, but if you hit something solid at just enough speed you might not get badly injured but what will happen is the chassis will twist and or crease just enough so that you can’t really drive it safely/legally but it quite...

Obviously in squeezing/pulling/pushing that loom something touched, you need to find a problem in that area as well then, if need be strip off the loom tape or take the headlight out, there is clearly a major problem in that area alone you need to fix properly

Don’t want to sound big headed but your time is worth doing what I said first, don’t start changing your flasher can or unplugging the corner lights, if it is just on unless you unplug the battery and the other indicator and hazard works fine then it cant be much

So indicator wire has shorted to a non ign switched live (Brown on your car) somewhere between the stalk and the join for all the indicators on that side so when you indicate normally it comes out of the stalk as one wire, then somewhere pretty soon i would have thought it splits into four...

And what he’s saying is that because the static angle of the angle is steeper when the suspension compresses when the rod gets horizontal the axle will be the extended amount out of where it should be

No more interest in this thread? Was looking forward to the replies

A better solution would be to ‘move’ one or both of the mounting points by the lifted amount to obtain standard geomtery, then you can use the standard rod

Sounds like the water isn’t circulating, make sure the water pump impeller hasn’t fallen off

Yeah thats fair

Don’t get mad at me! just what people have said, does make a difference if your on a pay and play site and winching people maybe a dozen times in the day

If you clipped your winch rope to top of windscreen or back end of wings (a decent amount unspooled) when you go to use it you dont have to wind that bit out and back in again

Myself and @Pillar had direct comms, offered our services and said our cut off time would be 2300 last night as we had a long drive, said we would get close and camp, then asses at first light, but he said others more local were going to help and told us to wait out

Did you find what you were looking for?

Read back through before asking questions ^

I can come tomorrow morning, could be there at 1030-1100, no winch but plenty of ropes and shackles
