    Gear selector rods

    I've not got around to doing it yet.... the other half has no car, so she is using it to commute... hopefully, this year will see the Hippo going into my freshly built garage (if the council allow me to build the flaming thing) My idea was to take the thing off... use a high tensile steel bolt...

    Freelander 1 IRD Right hand Drive Shaft Seal Leaking

    I could always buy an eBay "Special" - buy the kit and rebuild one myself - if I'm confident - I can fit it... that way I have another to rebuild and either sell or keep as a spare unit!

    Freelander 1 IRD Right hand Drive Shaft Seal Leaking

    I can get the kit cheap enough - about £83.00 for the kit from the site you mention....now all I need is a gearbox chappie to do the job for me.... - not something I would like to do myself to be honest.... i bet its only an hour or two in labor rates too!

    Freelander 1 IRD Right hand Drive Shaft Seal Leaking

    Anyone any ideas what the bearing part number is that I should be looking for? - or... as I haven't stripped an IRD (only fitted the cooler) - should I consider buying another unit... I'm not scared of taking on a job I haven't done before, and if I have read it correctly, its not too...

    Had a good day on it today... Replaced fuel injectors.. Looked at the seal.. there is a small amount of up and down movement on the inner cv going into the IRD. About 2 to 3 mm maximum. The infamous knock... I've worked on aboutique 4 of these where the suspension top or shocker knocks a...

    New shaft... old seal..... was carefully fitted at the time of the engine and box refit.... hopefully the IRD Diff bearings are not collapsing.... yes the Inner CV Clip went in fully and engaged.... it was a bitch to try and pull back out too.. (usual test for me to be honest.... if it pulls out...

    Freelander 1 Simple tailgate question...

    I've followed the wiring to the door hinge, and linked out the Purple-Blue with the black, and the result is the same. although.... I've changed the bulb in the interior light, but it's on all of the time - wire linked out or not. The interior light ONLY GOES OUT when i press the button to lock...
