    Part number for cruise control master on- off switch

    Just had a search for the switch YUH000070LNF at a stealers. Approx £45 plus vat. That's some serious inflation or am I looking in the wrong places? Stealers? Thieving bastards more like! :mad:

    Front wiper linkage .

    Mine went, I think it was the longer one which affected the passenger side wiper. I just turned it round and it worked fine. Gravity now keeping it in place! Been fine for a couple of years!!!!!

    Changing TD4 fuel filter (later type)

    Did mine today, took about 15 minutes. Was amazed at the difference it makes, my TD4 runs so much smoother now. Just waiting for my K&N air filter to turn up now. :)

    IRD Breather

    Does anyone know what tools I need to remove the IRD breather. I have an oil leak on the IRD and was recommended to check if the breather was blocked. I can see the breather, but then it just dissapears into the back of the engine bay between the engine and the top of IRD. How do I disconnect it...

    droplinks not the prob?

    If your roll bar can move sideways, then yes it would suggest your bushes are worn. Centralising the bar is done as there are two flanges on the bar that butt up against the bushes, which should stop any lateral movement. hth. Hoppo

    droplinks not the prob?

    I think mine were slightly longer, not sure about 8mm though, the anti roll bar itself has some play in it when not connected to the drop links and you should be able to ease them into place. I don't think 8 mm will make any difference. It might make it easier to move the anti roll bar in to...

    droplinks not the prob?

    Just changed my droplinks. Did the anti roll bar bushes last week, which didn't cure the problem, just changed the drop links and problem solved. The rattling that I put up with for the last three months has gone. Well chuffed with myself. I think the hex key required to stop the balls turning...

    Cruise control fitting update

    Hey Gary this sounds great. :D I've been looking at retro fitting cruise control to my 03 TD4 auto for a while now, and have had a read through all the threads on here, and of course you very informative ones. You make it sound quite simple. Is it really just a case of ensuring the wiring is...

    IRD leak at propshaft

    :) No not related to Hippo, unless my Mum's not telling me something. :eek: I've ordered o ring just in case, for sake of a fiver might as well have one. I'm confused. Are you saying STC50550 is the stuff to use for the sealant? Cheers

    IRD leak at propshaft

    Wow great and speedy advice guys. Think I'll tighten it up and clean it up first as Fur Trapper advises. Then if that doesn't help, I think I'll be opening up and replacing seal and applying silicon. Thanks for that jm and also thanks for photos of seal Hippo. Anyone know the part number for...

    IRD leak at propshaft

    Was under my Freelander today changing the anti roll bar bushes, when I noticed an oil leak on the ird where the prop shaft connects. See attached pic. Anyone know if this a simple job to repair? I'm hoping it's just a seal that needs replacing. I had a search in the forums but couldn't find...

    Fuel leak?

    Hi Vic, thanks for responding. Yes I changed the crankcase breather last summer. Another thing I didn't mention in earlier post was that you can only see the residue of the leak from underneath, looking up at the alternator. You cannot see any evidence of a leak from above. Do you think this...

    Fuel leak?

    Need help identifying possible sources of a leak. I changed my oil yesterday and whilst under the bonnet noticed a leak. It seems to be coming from around the left hand side of the dipstick area, below the intercooler hose and dripping on to the auxilliary drive belt and alternator, which in...
