Arctic2. Thanks. Really good info. Cheers.

Right! I'm a dope :)))

Hi Andy. Now you've got me. Tell me what the challenge is then?

Thanks. For the life of me I could not remember how it was fitted. With posts on this Forum stating the mod was not an advantage service wise, iv'e decided to go back to original set up. Cheers.

Hello all I've decided to go back and refit the crank case filter to my TD4. I kept the plastic retainer just in case. Is this all I need to return to original spec? Any advice welcome. Cheers Gary.

Hello all. Well, well. I can recall threads on this forum that the Vortex Mod was the way to go! I did it myself and removed the filter and fitted it. So, Who is in support of the Mod and why? And who is not, and favours keeping the filter. It was, as it goes put forward as an up grade...

Hey, Rock Basher: Need to use some thing else instead of your head :)) Good old motors these.. Take care Pal..

Hello all. Finally got around to doing this mod today. And what a transformation. I have a heater that's hot! And when I put it on the rev's don't rise as if the engine has not reached full temp. A big thanks as always for the advice given on this forum. It really is the best! Cheers Gary.

Hello all. Thanks for your replies. GrumpyGel.. There's no belt on the a/c at the mo, but will check its not switched on. Arctic2. I've already obtained a stat and will go ahead and fit this weekend. Thanks again all. Gary.

Hello all. I can not make my mind up if I have a faulty/ open thermostat on my Freelander. The heater as I recall last winter was not great. Also, when the heater is put on, but not up to full temp, the revs rise slightly. Which tells me although the temp gauge says near normal its not. My...

I would recommend doing both sides at the same time. There are youtube vids on this. I went for the complete wish bone change as it comes with all the new bushes. Have had no problems since changing in 2017. Would also advise doing the tracking after the jobs complete. Just to say, I took mine...

Thanks for posting Andy. Will check over mine tomorrow. Cheers.

Just an after thought, Would it be advisable to change the hose as well? Had a look on ebay and can only find second hand top hoses for FL1 TD4. Are they still obtainable new? Thanks all for your time. Cheers.

Thanks for your time. Cheers.

hello all. As it goes my temp gauge does seem to go to normal on the dash. But when turning the heater on the rev,s rise as if the engine is not up to temp? Also if you fit the mod thermostat, do you have to remove the original? Thanks in advance as always. Cheers.

Cheers Sir.

As above. Where do you get this kit from? Googled to no avail. Also, help a numpty. Which hose does it fir exactly. Thanks for any help. Cheers.

Hello all. For me, I will carry on with my FL1 TD4. There is nothing out there to replace it! Its been waxoiled for years and has 134,000 mls on it. Im no mechanic, but most jobs can be done by a bit of research and an ask on this fantastic forum. Just wish i could have had it from new. Cheers

Have you tried bleeding the system? I was nearly thinking of scrapping mine because I believed the clutch had gone. On reading the WSM, I realised the system could be bled. And from the top, so no crawling underneath. Brown fluid came out until the good stuff flowed . Its been fine since. Why I...

Hello all. As it goes I am more than chuffed. Under the believe that the clutch system was a sealed item, I've never touched it. On realising its not, I took a look. Nothing to loose eh. With a torch I could see brown murky contends. How did I miss this? All other stuff has been changed. And I...
