Cheers RJ yup, all time favorite early and late incarnation of them. Been listening to them since 1970 . Hope you get the speakers sorted.

Just checked mine ( which is out and on the bench ) and they are the same as yours and have no identification on them. My amp has blown after being submerged in the well and I had the same problem in as much there is absolutley NO name or manufacturer on it anywhere. How strange.....

I recently had to fix the same fault on the ROS door on mine and will be doing the RNS this weekend. It's very difficult to describe ( and do ) but there is a small latch /lever tucked up at the rear top of the solenoid ( tight into the door skin )that was seized and had too be freed off and...

I'm quite impressed with it in 2WD mode ,been driving it for a couple of weeks now and it's no big deal as it's just used on the roads. I just removed the complete prop. I'll probably put it back to full 4WD before next winter by fitting a new VCU and bearings (if an X trail doesn't come along...

Now this might tempt fate but although I don't need one of these ( yet ) I thought I'd put one aside for that eventual day. What's the story on them are they any good ? FREELANDER TAILGATE WINDOW REGULATOR WIRE REPAIR KIT on eBay (end time 16-Feb-10 08:30:32 GMT)

I hope that's what it is , good luck and let us know the outcome....

I did it tonight . Took the complete prop off with VCU attached .I'd suggest you get a mate to help you as it's a weighty old assembly and you have to ensure the UJ's are supported and not allowed to dangle....... 15 minutes with the car up on a lift.

Thought I'd complete this thread by explaining what I found. After waiting for three weeks for a caliper overhaul kit I set to work today fitting new discs , pads and overhauling the calipers to get rid of the grating noise on the car. When I had the calipers off and turned the hub there was no...

Sadly I think you'll find the speakers will be faulty. I had to replace all for speakers on ours after similar problems. I found that the speakers were open at the rear allowing water to drip down onto them from the window seal. Each one has a in line plastic connector plus a connector onto the...

Problem is two deep scores on FNS disc probably caused by gravel trapped between caliper and disc .This has caused the pad to wear down into the scores resulting in two raised ribs on the pad rubbing into the disc continually. Solid discs and pads are cheap enough so I'll replace both, although...

'99 1.8 petrol 5 door , 75 K miles. Took my wifes Freelander out for a drive today and noticed a grating noise from what seems to be the NS front . Bit like the pad constantly rubbing on the disc but it isn't that as when brakes are applied I can here them. Tried coasting with engine off...

I'm certain that's what killed the pump as it was blocked solid and probably had been for years . Lesson 1 .........Check yours ! Interesting what you say re guesswork by garages. I'm refusing to pay an invoice from a previous garage that I have used for some years after they billed me for work...

Well got it back tonight . Garage asked me to call in and showed me that when the engine faltered and then died the noise from the pump changed to a higher pitch as if it was struggling to pump .When the ignition was switched off and then on again the pump sounded OK again. The garage tried...

[quote=collinca;880622]I would be interested to hear if the diagnostic equipment shows the problem. We had a similar issue with the freelander losing power and then cutting out every 20 mins or so yesterday, had to pull over a few times and after a minute switched off, it went fine again and...

Thanks for that Chaser . Just returned from having it collected and taken to garage after it kept cutting out on her this morning. We live in a very rural area and it was too dangerous to have it staionary on these narrow twisty roads. Interestingly when it's ticking over the pump noise is...

Anybody help me out here lads , getting to feel a bit lonely on this thread.............:(

Well , after replacing all as in last post the problem occurred twice again today . Car starts and runs perfectly but after a while , was up to an hour but now occurring after 10 minutes now, car hesitates while driving and suffers symptoms similar to fuel starvation. If the throttle is pressed...

Well for info............... Got the new fuel filter from main dealer recently and when I asked for it the store manager said " never had to replace them , you sure you want it ?" :rolleyes: Removed the pump assembley today and found it absolutley filthy. The pick up gauze ( 2 ) at the base of...
