Nathan, not knowing what engine you have.... In my TD4 the water pump is driven by the multi-ribbed belt - if this has gone, the water won't circulate to the heater matrix (internal radiator for heat) - it also won't circulate water anywhere else, so it's not a good idea to run the car to...

After Paying top dollar for the genuine DrewTech JLR Mongoose cable to use on my OWN car(s)...... Used it on other cars in the Family and Friends Circle before I got the Freebie online.... Jags.... yup. RangeRover Sport - Yup... Disco - Yup... Freelander 2 Yup..... My Freelander 1 (2003 TD4) -...

ok... thanks.... I'm looking for a front set of carpets in black for a 3 door FL1 if anyone is breaking a car??

I'm looking for a set of carpets to replace the one's in the 3door, two seater SUV Freelander 1. Is this a specific set of carpets, or will any fit??? I don't mind cutting it where the "backseats" would have gone - or laying the carpet as a full piece!! Any Advice Gratefully appreciated...

Mixed Feelings...... The Freebie is running, but dad didn't see me do it.. - hopefully he's looking down on me and being proud of me.

@Alibro sadly, he will probably be looking down on it from above...... He passed away on the 8th October - hence the big gap in getting around to finishing it off. But I'm confident that he would be happy and proud of me doing it properly though..

That is very kind of you...thank you so much....the problem though..I spoke to the guy and told him I wanted the full car to strip. He said ok and agreed to deliver it. He rang me back an hour latet and said he had a buyer for the engine and box, but for a deposit; he would keep the car whole...

Already been through that... I have all of his details - and given up pursuing the money... just be careful when dealing with this guy.. he apparently has a brother.... his name is dean and his brother is called David.

Sorry... I was referring to "i would be back on his doorstep with a mate or 6!" - with the "me too!" comment.

anyway.... before paying anyone with this surname in Rochdale..... PM me and I will confirm the details against the ones you have.

@blue beasty - i think you can release the post.... based on the above

Yes LandyMan.... imagine how pi55ed off I was when they said the value wasnt high enough to pursue.... to the point, the legal fee surrounding the recovery would be into thousands... I was told "they will keep the information on file - pending him being caught for a higher value crime...... what...

no problem moderating it... the police ended up saying because the value is so low they won't pursue things further.
