    P38A Something Odd!!!

    Wammers, silly question, but how does one check a relay to see if it is dead or not? One other thing, should the fuel system need "bleeding" and if so, how is that done?

    P38A Tank Fuel Pump Template P38 (again!)

    I know that this has been covered before, but some time ago now and the images and template that where in the original topic are no longer online. Can anybody at least tell me (and others) the dimensions and correct location for making the necessary "cuts" to get access to the fuel sender pump...

    P38A Something Odd!!!

    Right, I got my wife to turn the engine over a few times while I watched the fuel pipe between the fuel filter and the FIP. What I saw was some fuel and air! I could not see any "more" fuel coming through. Now, I do have a problem with the "new" sender pump, it sticks at 1/4 full (it shows...

    Hi Wammers, But would being out of sync upset the fuel coming through to the injector pump?

    P38A Something Odd!!!

    Well, it's been sorted. I just disconnected the battery then re-connected it and all ok. BUT, now another gremlin raised it's head. Maybe it's me and not giving her enough time to draw fuel from the tank, but she wont fire up. I put in new glows the other week and just had to wait to get back to...

    P38A Something Odd!!!

    I find that odd as she was without a battery for about 3 weeks before I charged it up again and all was well. This time was for less that 24 hours. On top of that, yesterday when I opened her to remove the old battery, all was fine.

    P38A Something Odd!!!

    Right, I've just gone and bought a new battery for our 2.5DSE and hooked it up. Now something odd has happened, I went to fire her up and the dash came up with the "Engine blocked" sign. I find this odd as yesterday when I was removing the old battery all was well. Another thing I can't seem...

    Hi there, Does anyone know what size is the front height sensor link to radius arm nut? I can not seem to find any reference to it in my copy of the workshop manuel. Thanks in advance.

    Freelander 1 Winch bracket

    I have just been to your E-Bay page and I noticed that it is no longer for sale. Do you no longer make them? As I am "new" to Freelanders, could someone please tell me if the following is a Pre or Post Facelift model:

    Thanks Wammers, that's what I was afraid of. Pity. Just hope that Canyon is still around.

    Dead height sensor or not?

    I have sent you a private message Datatek.

    Dead height sensor or not?

    Datatek, thanks. Please let me know how much and if you could send the part to me here in Portugal (let me know the P&P too please). And now a question. Am I right in thinking that the radius arms are made from cast iron? If so, can cast iron be safely drilled and tapped?:D

    Dead height sensor or not?

    I might be barking up the wrong tree or barking mad, but what about some heat? Would heating the "bracket" free the rubber thingy? Just an idea.

    Dead height sensor or not?

    He's Portuguese. I know what you mean about language barriers and all that, but that's not the case here, I am bilingual. It was just a simple case o greed and trying to be a wise guy, but it backfired on him this time, yes ok, it might have cost me, but it's costing him a darn site more:cool...

    Dead height sensor or not?

    What do you think about using one of those "re-enforced" rubber hoses? Something like the above, but more nearer to the original size. Cut down to size and it might work.

    Dead height sensor or not?

    There you go Wammers, you said the magic word: "THINK" (more like thick!) Oh, Datatek, if that were possible. He already screwed us out of around €1,000.00 and even wanted another €300.00. When I hit him with what he planned doing about the balls up, his first reply was "Why are...

    Dead height sensor or not?

    Rubber bit? What rubber bit? That's my problem, the ruddy mech rollocked it all up. He chucked what he said was "brittle and falling apart" into the rubbish bin!
