I had a quick look and was not expecting a new tank to be so expensive PCF000010 EXPANSION TANK ASSEMBLY | Freelander 1996>: Engine: Cooling | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series . Is yours leaking ?

I had a similar problem . It turned out it was a knackered MAP sensor , when the turbo blew on another occasion , oil got blown into the sensor andas far as I know it cant be cleaned . Its a long thread ,but the op spells out the symptoms iirc ...

Have you done a search ? I had the same problem . Now only the the rear o/s door and the tailgate open using the fob .If I lock it with the fob the alarm sounds after about thirty minutes . There are loads of threads and answers on how to fix the locking . I look at it as a security feature...

I went out and took a few photos . The first was the best direct view of the connector . Down at the pink end of the girly dog lead is a view of the connector , looking straight in from above ,between the engine block and the air box ...

If you look at your own photo , on the right half way up you will notice a black wire hose over one red wire .I think the hose (for want of a better description) should follow the other . I hope you understand what I mean . I had to edit out the photo .It was way too big .

Can you go out and have a look ? In behind the starter motor or solenoid there should be 2 connectors close together . I think its one of them 2 . Sorry about getting ****y but I thought I might just be able to pop the bonnet and see exactly where it might go .

I went out and had a look . For me to find exactly where that connector goes ,I would have to remove the air box and turbo hose , maybe the battery cradle and the belly pan . Oh and get my hands oily just to find where your connector goes . Have you already removed all the above and followed...

Ill check in the morning, but it looks like the one to the rear of the engine, to the transmission or ird ,cant remember .

Who would join up and call himself Garryboy88 ,:eek: . Drop 2 rr's . It's a windup .:multiply::5bdupe: .

He joined up 2 months ago . Then disappeared for a week or two . :welcome: Welcome back chap .

He's talking ****e . You have a good choice of tyre in the 15" . I would contact my nearest dealer , give them your reg and /or chassis number , the exact year and model might be enough for them to find the wheel size it was fitted with in the factory . :welcome:

You could go to the anything goes section and join in ,in the mindless meanderings of old and middle aged sad gits . You could be a senior member(100 posts) before midnight . That is if your not easily offended . :welcome2:

Have you tried reconnecting the pipe ? Does the engine run ok as it is ?

Have you removed the sump guard/belly pan ? If not do it . Have you checked the clutch slave bracket ? Was there a burnt out clutch smell ? edit : I reckon its the clutch bracket broken .:) http://www.famousfour.co.uk/new_parts/part_page.php?partID=7823

You should also whip off the wheels and have a good look at the calipers, discs,pads and guide pins . Make sure the brakes are working as they should .

`Howya , welcome . I would guess drop links, but I cant remember mine making any odd noises while braking . Could be shocks need replacing . Are you sure it isn't the ABS kicking in , I used to find that gear slipping feeling very odd and backed off on the brakes . I have to rush out ...

I usually kick one side of the tyre then the other if the wheel is stuck . Looking back at the first post , it doesn't say he jacked the vehicle first . Who knows , some people are stupid beyond belief .

Welcome , from the home of Beamish .

Use a longer bit of baling twine and let it hang out under the door . Job done .

Link ? Who is she ? someone famous ?
