Just seeing if anyone has ever heard or used a company called Bensham Engineering Ltd, who are based in Croydon. They specialise in engine rebuilds, but not sure if they are Land Rover specific like Turners Engineering. Also can not seem to find a website for them just an address and telephone...

:) :)

:)

Oh yes, just noticed, I was looking at your date that you joined the forum. I am happy to pay £160 to have it delivered please if thats ok. Im only in Horley, near to Gatwick Airport :)

Don't suppose you still have it for sale, I know it's been a couple of years lol

I know this post is a few years old, but rather than start "another" post, I thought I ask the question here. How does a Hawkeye compare to say the Britpart Lynx system, as they are both the same price. I don't mind the laptop idea either. I did see icarsoft i930 but I think this is for OBD2...

Exhaust is fine, first thing I checked :(

Would this be causing the smoke though, as that more important to sort now

Only really happens at 50mph or when the kick down is used for hard revving

Haven't had anything done so far, as the MOT is on the 16th December. But I would thought I would post this question. Would a slipping torque converter cause the same issue of the gears not changing up? Reason I ask recently the car has been producing a fair amount of smoke inside the car...

Thanks, I do some research and go from there on this one, this is of course assuming there no further damage to the pistons or engine block etc

Hello All, thanks for all the replies and support. Good news is that all the plugs are sparking when held close to the engine block. Bad News - Did the compressor test, with the pieces that you screw in to the plugs, rather than just hold and push. Cylinders 1 & 4 both gave a reading of 120...

That's a good price to, recharge and clean for 39.99, and a free test. ATS is the closest of them all as well. Might have to go along with them. I book it first thing for next month :)

Hello, you are right. Just been on to the Halfords Autocentre webpage, and they do free air con checks. The recharge is only £49 to. And for an extra £10 they do an antibacterial clean to, so that sounds like even better option. :)

At a guess then the National AirCon may be better at doing this, as I would of thought as they specialise in the air con systems, they would have common sense to go with it... hopefully :) I give them a call and let you all know how I get on.

Just had the following reply from a company called National AirCon, that come out to you rather going to them which be nice. We offer a mobile service to regas your cars AC system, the cost includes a nitrogen test, Oil for the compressor, Dye added, and the Refrigerant. Total cost £65.00 +...

Many thanks for the reply and info. I book a leak test and go from there.

Hello All, Still getting used to our Freelander, only had it nearly 6 months now :) When the heater/cooler fan is turned on as normal, nothing seems to really happen when the air con button is switched on. No change of sound of fans or engine note (when idling), the light on the air con...

When we got our td4 one of the rear side windows didn't not want to work. I did swap the switch round as that is the easiest thing to try first, but ours made no difference. When I used the switches for the rear door I could hear a very faint click from the motor. I took the door card off...

As soon as its done I post the results on here, as I am sure I be asking the next question after that
