Washed and polished mine. If ever there was a thankless task, especially at this time of year. Buffed the headlights. Mixed success; OS pretty good, NS less so. Used Autoglyms kit. Noticed however that the NS had a bit of condensation in at the bottom which is a new thing. Any advice greatly...

Had its 6 month oil renewal. Plus filter of course, air, pollen, crankcase breather(?) you know the cylindrical one in front of the air filter, and that funny little one, lives behind the block, has one pipe to it and costs pennies turbo breather? Cleaned EGR and as much of the associated pipes...

My slave cylinder failed in November, and I bit the proverbial bullet and went for it - both cylinders, new clutch and DMF. All by LUK. £1700! Had some engine mounts done at the same time. My reasoning was: 1. Scrap the FL and get pennies, then go and source another motor you know nothing...

I did it on my own. I suspect it’s much easier with an extra pair of hands to roll out the material as you smooth it out/down.

Got mine from here on t’bay: £49.99 with enough material to do the roof and the door inserts. Plus two cans of glue good for 120 degrees C (IIRC). 👍🏻

Hi All, With regards to the VED issue. My MY 06 was registered on 10/03/06, and has a CO2 figure exceeding 225, so my interpretation of the VED table is that if the car was registered before the 23/03/06 it’ll be in K, if registered after 23/03/06 and exceeding 225g it’ll be in L. So I dodged it...

Thanks GG. So do I. So far so good, but then I’ve only done 50 miles! 😁

On a responsible owners forum such as this, definitely not! 😁

Absolutely. I’ll be doing mine after the hols. Every 6 months 5W/40. Much cheaper and infinitely more convenient than than an engine shaped door stop. I also change the crankcase breather and clean the EGR while it’s draining. 👍🏻

Well, got my FL1 back with a brand spanking new clutch, cylinders, DM flywheel and an engine tie rod. 156k. The perfect Xmas prezzie. 😁

Well got the FL back today. New clutch, both cylinders, DM flywheel and a lower tie rod. I asked them to check engine/diff mounts as there was a ‘thud’ on a couple of occasions when I had to brake suddenly. Wallet rather a bit lighter 🤷‍♂️ as I opted ( recommended on here as well as the...

Hi Andy, thanks for that. It’s at a good classic LR specialist, literally 3 miles away, and his rates are around the £45-50 mark. He’s got a 13 plate FL2 for sale for £7k and I was initially tempted when it first happened and was recovered back, but I do like my FL1. Not least because when it...

Yup. I’ve assumed the ‘braced’ position when I go to pay…🤷‍♂️😁

Hi, My first port of call for decent quality parts is Advanced Factors. https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/clutch-hydraulics-13830-c I hate to be the bearer of potential bad news, but my 06 TD4 did the same about a month ago and it turned out to be the concentric slave cylinder in the gear box...

Thanks Alibro for your input. I will be changing the entire guts in the bell housing - at the very least it’ll be a good selling point for quite a while, and peace of mind for me in the meantime. 🤞I’ve managed to find a LUK DMF for £449 here...

Decided to bite the bullet and change the clutch, flywheel and cylinders after my clutch slave cylinder purged itself last week in N. Wales. 🤦🏻‍♂️ https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/no-gear-selection.395889/

Thanks to all for your replies and info, vids etc. Apparently the FL will be delivered today at my usual LR mechanic so hopefully I’ll soon have a diagnosis! Nodge, as the DMF is the most expensive part how would it be determined that it should be replaced, and would you change it irrespective...

Thanks GG. Yes indeedy. Every cloud an’ that…👍🏻 J_D. We were staying in Degenwy, so we and it were recovered back there. The FL is going into secure storage to be recovered back to my mechanic in “the next 3-5 working days “. 🤷‍♂️ Nodge, ouch, yes much gnashing of teeth and sucking noises...

Hi All, This is not so much a question as I think I’ve pretty much had it diagnosed by way of elimination. It’s more of this happened and…. Anyway away in North Wales for my birthday and my FL1 gave me about 30 minutes notice of refusing to let me select any gear, before flatly refusing at all...

Thanks Freddie17, seen them, and that one particularly. I’m thinking they’ll be in a similar state as mine. There’s also plenty of cargo netting to be had but the amount I need and the amount you have to buy doesn’t really make sense. I tried sewing/haberdashery sites and the have some but it’s...
