to update the followers. Getting a donor engine really helped... I asked the guy selling it, if I could pull it out myself...... I kept every single nut and bolt while doing so. lastweek, the engine and a new box went in... I'm damned certain that I had to use 15 bolts from the salvage list due...

Eventually.... it wasn't the clutch at all. the monkeys who dropped the engine initially must have fecked the selector shaft in the gearbox... new box in it now.... all sorted.

sorted... one of these goes to the turbo solenoid (via the BMW Vaccum pressure vessel - but not required) the other goes to the EGR solenoid - mine is now blanked off, but runs perfectly.

The Guys Name is D. Lanyon, 07704 ***297 from Queensway, Rochdale. he says he has a unit on Harp Business Centre, Harp Industrial Estate, Queensway, Rochdale OL11 2QQ But it's not his address and it is used by a TV refurb guy. The thing is... there is a garage on this industrial estate, and the...

For people wanting to do this properly (and DAVE helped here absolutely loads...Thanks for the advice) You will need.... A trolley capable of carrying 700KGs of engine, box and IRD combined (i used a pallet truck and pallet) A two post lift or two trolley jacks and lots of concrete blocks and...

well... my plea didn't go according to plan.. I paid a deposit for the car... told the guy I was going to see it that saturday... and.... The address he gave was NOT his address at all. I rang the guy and basically - I was £200 lighter. So after a gruelling discussion with my mate who loaned me...

it ended up NOT being the slave cylinder.. the gearbox selector shaft was goosed on the inside of the box. I ended up having to fit another box to the car!!! :-( Although I did eventually buy a LUK slave.

All Sorted - New Engine and Box....almost new everything.... maybe i will Face Lift it this year!

All Sorted... easier to replace than to repair to be honest.. Just Re-gassing to do now!

Actually.... after doing an engine swap, I found that this hose wasn't the culprit.. i was the victim of a faulty batch of sensors..... All fixed now!

Going to have a go at this over the next few weeks. I plan on taking photos, measurements and typing up a tutorial..... hopefully I will get them to fit without the use of the MIG Welder!

Sorted..... New engine gone in.... along with a new (good second hand) Gear Box. Also to add.. if the bores are not oval, and compression is high, the 4th Crankshaft Bearing "CAN" be replaced in situ, although you would be better replacing the whole set of shells.

OK... Gotchas are:- Injectors Wiring Loom - the rover one is much longer (by about 1m) and there are subtle differences in the connectors into the ECU. The Bracket between the AIRCON Compressor and the Alternator Bracket Alternator (Bigger than Rover) - I had to angle grind the bracket for the...

Still needs a little bit of bleeding.... will vacuum bleed it today... Cheers Guys,

oh... and the Air Con to re-gas - PLUS a VCU test to do this week.... but it drives beautifully..... and I am very VERY surprised... (because I'm an Indicator Using, Non-Lane Hugging Audi Driver)

well.... it's in a running...... although... thursday saw me taking the gearbox out because the selector shaft wouldnt "click" into 5th or Reverse gears. Got a good second hand box, full linkage and ball rods for £200... fitted in on saturday and even got it MOT'd BONUS Now I have Alloys to...

me too!!

Found this.... quite a bit of information if read to the end... but i've still one question.... and added it to the end... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/gear-selector-rods.264048/

I know this is an old thread.... but... did you replace the funny shaped thing with a round pin, or did you shape the pin similar to above???

Guys, I have searched, but only to find PG1 stuff. I have a 2003 Freelander td4 with a GETRAG box. the gear lever is sloppy on the side to side movement. The Linkage has been replaced with a good second hand unit the ball joints are "reasonably" tight and don't show any sigtns of movement. the...
