sorry to interupt mr brown,ya did get in first.

hello & welcome,firstly i think the freelander will be fitted with a timing CHAIN if its a bmw engine,not a belt,this in my opinion tends to wear longer than a belt. about the noise if you can get a friend to jack up one wheel at a time at the front,whilst one is jacked up put your hands in the...

GODS COUNTY,for sure.

theiving tw*ts,i will jot reg down & keep an eye out for it in leeds area.

so,i am first going to take the sump off & check the crank,conrods n shells, if they all appear ok,do i start on the top bit,pistons push rods n all the rest of the top end,one thing that puzzles me is why didnt the core plugs pop,i thought they would be the first thing to blow out,i know a...
