    Can anyone identify this?

    Trying to find out a couple of things here please. Anyone tell me what relay is what, what missing relay is (or is it just a wee space for another one)? And finally what trailing wire is and where should it be? (its white with green trace and is live with ignition on) Thanks people.

    Old Land Rovers - Valuation please

    Pretty much agreed. No.1 a Series 2 88" No.2 Series 2a most likely as think it was '71 before the 3's came out (could be wrong there, might have been late '70 so the dashboard clue might help. Actually thought they all had series no. stamped on metal plate.) As to size, I thought just a 109 but...

    Headlight problem. Help please.

    Good thought. You mean a simple swap over of the two bulbs in case one's a duffer?

    Headlight problem. Help please.

    With MOT time only a week away I've been busy on all the wee niggles this last day or two. One of these was headlights. One of the old sealed beams had no full beam so I upgraded to newer lights. Put it all back together and job done. But no. OS light lovely and bright NS light dim and...

    Which to go for? Help please.

    Been down south this weekend (well, south for me but what a fair number here would refer to as up north)☺ Anyway was down seeing a friend as my mission continues to return to a real land rover instead of a ****ty, turbo blown, soft, gutless canny tow anything worthwhile, freelander. Well I was...

    Is my turbo dead?

    Thanks for the reply. Used to lose power anything over 70mph or maybe less on even slightest incline but would pick up again straight after. Failed mot on fèw minors only. Worried that grinding came from being a squeal under acceleration then changed to a grind. Fitted new alternator just prior...

    Is my turbo dead?

    Hi all looking for a bit of help and advice please. My freelander 1 td4 is smoking like a beagle!! So much so that it's now confined to base. Smoke generally whiteish. Replaced turbo intercooler pipes but to no avail despite one being cracked. Took it for mot, on way home, smoky as ever under...

    Freelander 1 Lots of smoke

    Freelander 1 td4 making a smokescreen. Mainly white smoke worst on starting and under acceleration. Suspect maybe turbo as now making grating noise when revved. If I'm right do I need to replace turbo or will cartridge suffice. Grateful for any help or advice. Thanks.

    VCU's again. Anyone help?

    Thanks guys. Both front props appear to be the same. Will I have to swap the VCU's round? Will it cause damage if I don't?

    Anyway to see the main beam blue light?

    I can't see mine either but, to be honest, I don't have a problem. I only use full on backroads etc and you know when its on or not. I also tend to notice other lights approaching so know when I'll need to dip. Simples. [emoji4]

    VCU's again. Anyone help?
