    A sign of clutch/cable wear?

    I' check it tomorrow in the daylight. Am I right in thinking it requires DOT4 brake and clutch fluid?

    A sign of clutch/cable wear?

    Ah yes, hydraulic. You're right, it could just be unfamiliarity, but Ive gone weeks before without driving it, and its never felt different.

    A sign of clutch/cable wear?

    Don't get much use out of my 110 300tdi lately, but driving it today the clutch pedal felt different. There didn't seem to be as much travel in the pedal as usual, and when pressing it down it felt like it was pressed against the floor sooner than usual, and lifting back up the same again, with...

    New battery time

    Ended up buying a Varta Silver Dynamic H3, at 830CCA its got less cold cranking amps than I wanted, but it was available at the local batter shop which meant I was able to fit it today and be back not he road. Its a bit longer but not as tall as my previous battery, so gives more clearance under...

    New battery time

    I can get the above battery for £92 from eBay, from a reputable supplier. But Im relying on them using a courier that isn't going to let the battery roll around the back of his van. Or I can get an identical one by nipping to halfords, but they are charging £130 for essentially the same battery...

    New battery time

    I'm on the look out for a new battery as mine is foooooked, with the Ctek charger displaying a fault light indicating its not holding its charge. So, anyone seen any decent deals on any good batteries recently, preferably one with good cold cranking amps? I've found this one with 900CCA for...

    Exhaust rear silencer corrosion

    Ended up taking my 110 to the local LR independent garage and they supplied & fitted a new one for £70. I couldn't be arse to do it myself. Sods law the bolts etc would have been seized,

    Exhaust rear silencer corrosion

    Yeh, if only they had made the exhaust out of the same paper. LR150C - is that an actual part number?

    Exhaust rear silencer corrosion

    Sadly mine has corroded right next to the silencer box, so there no pipe to slip it over.

    Exhaust rear silencer corrosion

    Nice. How did you fix them to the exhaust? Jubilee clips? Did you order with split ends for clamping?

    Exhaust rear silencer corrosion

    Thats the problem isn't it. With standard system being fairly cheap I can't bring myself to buy stainless. Plus if a tyre throws something up onto the exhaust I'd be grateful it wasn't stainless.

    Exhaust rear silencer corrosion

    Anyone know what Britpart rear tail pipes are like, seeing as they are only about £30?

    Any suggestions for supplier for stainless pipe please?

    Exhaust rear silencer corrosion

    Every few years my rear silencer pipe corrodes and breaks. Is this a common issue with everyone? Anyone know of a suitable repair technique, other than bodging it with a Baked Bean tin and jubilee clips :D Part number LR150C i believe?

    Wiper spindle part?

    My LR Def 110 300tdi failed its MOT today (as did my motorbike:mad:) as the passenger wiper doesn't do a full sweep, the splines inside the wiper arm have worn, causing the arm to slip, as they do. Just ordered a new arm and thought i may as well replace the adapter as well. Thanks everyone.

    Wiper spindle part?

    Brill, I ws hoping they were available separately. Just bought a pair from eBay for £4.65 Part STC987 Thanks :)

    Wiper spindle part?

    Anyone know if the splined end bit of the windscreen wiper box assembly is available separately? Its the bit that the wiper arm attaches directly to, with the little grub screw to hold it on. The two circular top hat shaped bits in the middle of this picture...

    Buying with 140k miles?

    What issues would I need to consider if buying a 2010 Freelander 2 with 140k miles? What work should I check has been done/changed, and what work would I need to check etc once purchased? Possibly thinking of buying one that I know of.
