Could ‘do’ with some of that right now!!

Funnily enough I was thinking along the same lines… When I went back out to the car after posting the ‘issues’ the car didn’t produce any noticeable smoke on tick over whereby it kind of did before.. Let’s see.. anyhoo committed to going to the MOT as have wheel alignment also after the rear...

Hello All.. Having had issues with an OEM pump (Meat and Doria/Italian brand) that is being replaced by the supplier with a Hella unit… I refitted my old electric pump so that I could at least move the car about. Anyhoo in a fit of absurd recklessness I insured the car last night and then went...

Been in contact with the supplier sent an appropriately worded and lengthy explanation as to what’s happening. They have got back to me today and will send out a Hella pump with no quibble.. the chap in touch with me said it was a ‘picking’ error and I should have got a Hella pump from the...

Hello Peeps I have just replaced my electric fuel pump as it has become quite noisy since I rebuilt my TD4 rear end etc. I bought an ‘OEM’ item (Meat and Doria/Italian brand) which fell in the middle range of pricing and was not overly cheap to buy at £140 odd. The ebay add stated TI...

Thanks Andy..

Cheers Nodge..

Hello All.. My TD4 has a ‘Becker’ in car entertainment and satnav system fitted. (6 CD changer under drivers seat etc) I would like to upgrade this to a modern system that. 1. Fits properly 2. Has Apple/smartphone connection etc 3. Decent Navigation app 4. Not overly expensive.. 5...

Ah okay thanks..

Thanks Nodge. I have a Toughbook Diagnostic set up running Delphi software.. think it will suffice they main issue is the ‘user’ as I am still learning how to use it. Bled my TEVES system last week a leap into the future for me. My hearing is still pretty good so will have a listen first… will...

Apologies for asking but where did you get your ‘new sunroof’ for the TD4? Replacements seem to have gone up in price drastically in recent times along with the components needed etc? TIA.. :-)

Might be doing this myself. Taking the bumper off will be easier for me as that has been recently removed and refitted. My sensors were working g(IIRC) on reassembly or maybe the long ‘Beep’ when engaging reverse has fooled me into thinking they were. They were definitely working prior to strip...

All good so far. Not really fiddled with it at all 👍🏻

Can confirm all good in the rear of the Freelander regards interior lighting and power/grounds. NOW. I have a column change to do. Watched a video about a year ago and very good it was too. Unfortunately it’s disappeared into the YouTube ether… Anyhoo first task.. remove steering wheel...

Obviously the door was open so makes sense…

Hello Folks Still finishing off the Freelander ‘SAGA’(I started this project as a younger man/Now ‘SAGA is more appropriate than ever/getting older etc) and have a question conundrum or ten. First two.. whilst refitting the rear interior panel in the ‘boot’ I have ‘discovered’ that the rear...

I’m glad I did I now have just enough knowledge to get myself into some real trouble.. and maybe some more to get myself back out again. Everyday is a learning curve but spannering and knowing how to use basic tools is a game changer.. as are buying some specialised tools that save time.

Haha I may have to already have two other cars. I bought this TD4 in 2017 for my daughter when she expecting her 3rd child. He was born and then the MOT fail happened.. I work away for 5 days a week so actual time on task would have to be when I was at home. After missing several deadlines...

Hello All Not sure if anyone remembers...I have been 'rebuilding/fabricating/fixing/breaking/remaking/crying/swearing/laughing/cursing/praying/wishing' my life away in my 'garage' fixing a 1 inch hole in the nearside sill and a 'dodgy' steering column.....after a very short (10mins worth of...
