At least i'm still on it:)

**** MHM your learning.... Maybe I missed it but cant see what motor you have got but the main 2 suspects are ... oil pick up "O" ring or the oil pick up pipe itself either being blocked (by scum thats been disturbed by previous work) or leaking air through the plastic weld.....new pipe and...

Personally dont think its needed and agree with other posts that the VCU is good system and lasts far better on motors used off foad regularly... If you do want selectable 2/4 wd then contact http://www.rakeway.com/ who already have one that is fairly well into development

Been too busy to ****, give a **** or chat **** for last couple of months... still been lurkin in back tho keepin peeps on ya

Can anyone tell me the thread size of V6 sump plug??? Cheers in advance.

Just to update Cheers Dann/Chaser.... Microcat piccy wrong and correct part number was PBC000010 Thanks

Cheers Mate.... Taking some piccys down in a bit to try and order locally....otherwise its a case of order it online and hope I dont waste a week waiting for wrong parts to arrive.... Thanks

Cheers Dann Thats same answer I got from Main Stealers but I have microcat and piccy is nothing like it (did you click on piccy from link above???) When you put my Reg in X367 KVC and hover over the numbers most of it says not applicable to this application.... Is it...

Sick of talking to fookwits on phone!!!!!! Anyone know LR part number for V6 engine oil cooler??? (its the one down by the oil filter) Same as item number FF002995 found with piccy here http://www.famousfour.co.uk/new_parts/parts-veh-freelander-sec-cool.html Cheers in advance

Thanks for info so far, all the above suggestions forwarded to him to check, was throwing it down last night so dont think he will have had much chance to look, i'll hopefully be getting a chance to help out over weekend so will let you all know....

No smoking prior to HGF...but believe it did overheat slightly when it went... Head was skimmed prior to re-fitting

Just to let you know I have very little knowledge of diesels so keep any answers simple....please.....as ill be trying to explain over phone Mate is normally fairly competent mechanic with no access to internet has just replaced head gasket on 300tdi (also turbo return hose at same time)...

Get youself a cheap set of steel wheels and 215/80/15 ATS and FL will go most places its bigger rivals can.... If you want to go further then there are plenty of mods available most of which can be knocked up for next to nothing.

Am I missing point....Why fook around with 1.8 when V6 puts out 177bhp in standard spec and with very little arsing around can easily give over 200????

V6 common problem is inlet manifold gasket and can easily lose 1 ltr weekly without any further probs as long as you keep topping up...water goes out of exhaust as steam....looses more on short runs and very little on long runs... A very small amount of emulsion in filler cap can be expected...

Best solution I could find covered here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/best-battery-57698.html Bought one of these ULTRA dynamic - batteries for cars - VARTA Automotive not really had a hammering but on paper was best I could find.

:):):) Sure I can throw a fat bint in FOC....Did consider taking her wading through water once but was stopped by Birkenhead dock Authority...Somat to do with danger to shipping:):):)

Your FL will float and lose traction before it will need snorkel...ideally snorkel used maily for dusty areas...desert, quarry roads Crewe etc:) Maybe save your engine if you were to get in too deep though.
