Every body seems to think that vcu,s lock up becuse of the heat of the fluid, that is a lot of crap, the viscus fluid is a non newtonian fluid, it is not afected by heat of cold, if you have seen the old trick of walking on custard you will see how it works, the fluid is made by Dow-corning...

What a bunch of pricks you are, all the man wanted was a proper replie to a question, the fact that his car froze up mite not be the reson for it not to start, give the man some proper addvise or shut the **** up.

diode gone in the alternator

Hi yes it is the same as a landy engine, the cam belt is shorter as the pump is mounted lower but all else should fit

land rover nuts are longer the normal so allthough the dont protude they have plenty of thread holding on, dont bother about it

your prob will be a worn timing chain, not too bad to replace, if your landy is late it will have a timing mark inside the pump, there is a plate on the side with a pointer in it , you need a miror, i have cut the pump slots an it will give some improvment, but better to replace the chain, do...

Yes vic i did give it a bit of thought, i understand that early freelanders have a differant rear diff to the front and drive faster from the back, for this a freewheel is perfect, my freelander seems to wear tyres at the same speed all round, if i was to replace just the front ones the rears...

if i remove the rear prop there is no point in a 4x4, selectable 4x4 is the thing but to expensive, this way in snow or mud i will keep going, as for the purists that say why buy a freelander then alter it, perhaps you should look at british motering history, it is full of good cars that have...

dont be a pr..k freewheel is perfectly possable, and afordable as an option to going 2 wheel drive as lots do

I dislike the feeling of trasmition windup all flanders seem to have, now i know that some is normal but i still dont like it, i have had a good look at makeing a dog clutch, it could be done but would be expencive. i have however been thinking about a free wheel on the rear prop shaft, i can...

the bolts that hold the selecter shaft to the selecter work loose and give this efect, you will soon lose reverse gear, take the top off the box and tighten the selecter bolts, as said the worst thing is the floor pans

i just tried to fit my soft top for the first time, all went well untill i had to fassen the rear clamps, there wernt any!, does the soft top share these with the hard top? or have they been lost?

I can tell you all come from the afulant north, down it darkest devon a new battery is three days wages

so is any one out there a battery expert? my landy battery got droped , this cracked the case and two cells ran dry. i repaird the cracks and refill with acid from an old battery, now i cant get the two cells to charge up should i have used acid from a flat cell or a charged one, i seem to...

the overdrive is before the transfer box, so the load will be the same if it is in low range as in high, in fact it could be less

The 205 pump is the way to go, no oil feed to mess around with

Why build this that still uses points when you can buy a compleat contactless unit for about 12 pounds?

Vin plates are avalible on ebay, it costs about £ 10 i think, no vin is neded if the car is over a certain age, cant remember exactly but about 1977

The head gasget may not have been the problem, it seems that it heated up very fast, i would have expected to see the track on the old gasget, is there any chance that the engine froze in last winters frost? i have seen landys lose the vanes on the water pump, this makes them overheat with the...

Hi yes peroxide is used as a bleach, in common with most bleaches it is full of oxgen water is h2o and proxide is h202 i think, if you mix this with some other things you get a lot of oxigen driven off, 9 sorry to be cairfull about this but it has been used in certan high profile cases that...
