And how conductive is the anodic corrosion between the ally and steel?

From memory- I put an earth from the battery to one of the starter motor mounting bolts and another one from there to the inner wing mounting bolt. I'm not keen on only earthing through the gearbox, as aluminiumium is not as conductive as steel.

I would buy an earth lead (just a generic one from halfords/local motor factor) and put it from the battery to chassis, as a lot of the electrics earth through the bulkhead/chassis.

Your battery is fooked. Fooked your is battery. Battery is your fooked. Is your battery fooked. Your fooked battery is.

Anything less than 12.3v is a flat battery. This flat battery has been pointed out, but sadly completely ignored by @Joshk5000. The battery maybe new to you, but I would suggest it's fooked.

So, basically the OP is a buffoon. Which is what I said from the start. Shame it was disappeared.

Who remembers Rashe/Rache or what ever he was called and his class action against Landrover because his Freelander wasn't 4wd? Oh the fun we had there! I'm getting similar vibes here.

Ok. Dunno what swearing or personal insults, because they int there no more. P.S. twice in about 10 years and you're getting bored of reminding me? Pfffft.

If the DPF is too blocked from the OP doing 5 mile school runs in his pyjamas for a fortnight, then runs at 50mph won't regen it. It will need a forced regeneration. And a change of vehicle more suited to his use. Like a petrol Nissan Micra.

What part of my posts you deleted needed moderising? What harm is my viewpoint causing?

100 results out of 154,955 members is negligible. Google found two results? Gosh. I'm not trying to prove anything. You are. I'm not sensitive about this topic. You are. I don't wish to visit your website. Spamming twunt. DPF issues are usually down to how they are driven.

No. Have you done a search on the forum, to see if anyone else has had this issue? If there are no other threads on your issue, then I suggest it's just you. The multiple class action lawsuits is just you, isn't it. Have you had any problem with freelanders not having permanent 4wd?

I think the purple mustached perambulating pillock means he wants arresting.

Where does it say anything about the sill? It says "structural strength inner seal".

No, its a metal outer. I have in the past cut a slit and twisted it over the ball (remove the spring behind the seal lip first, it will stretch over the ball) as a quick bodge. Remember to put the slit to the top of the housing.

Have you ever done that? The seal won't go over the ball, it only goes over the flange end.

Clean them, soak with ATF/acetone mix for a few hours- much longer if possible with repeat soaking. Tight fitting ring-spanner and tighten the bolt first, then try undoing. Those that don't undo, cut off the heads.

It's payback for @Hippoo's grooming thread in the trattererer section.

Probably a busy day for walking and perving, too.
