    Freelander 1 Should Freelander wheels touch the edge of drums?

    Hi Andrew, yes the wheel is locating properly. That pic was taken while fitting the first time. All studs are fully screwed in now and all looks well. I am just concerned with those spokes touching the edge of the drum.

    Freelander 1 Should Freelander wheels touch the edge of drums?

    Thanks,. but confused, why don't you think I want to do that? The rest of your post sounds like you're saying I do need to?! I should have said, it's a 2004 FL1 we have. And yes they definitely fit over the calipers, we are driving the car around the fields. WE only used it for off road use but...

    Freelander 1 Should Freelander wheels touch the edge of drums?

    I bought some FL1 wheels a while back, the guy wasn't sure which model he had them on but pretty sure he had them on FL1, and had some spacers to use on his FL2 later. I bought the wheels but didn't get the spacers, wondering if I need them. When we fitted them, the inside of the spokes make...

    Disco 2 Replacement Gearbox - Any ideas?

    Ha, then I am weird too. I like double declutching too but my wife and son don't :D. Besides, I need it to drive nice so the vehicle is saleable. I can't spend what I am spending without knowing I could recoup money in the coming govt-induced economic collapse if I need to sell (and I may) ...

    Disco 2 Replacement Gearbox - Any ideas?

    Thanks as always Stan. "not meaning to offend but...." - You know me better than that. I don't take offence at all, ever, unless someone is clearly trying to do so. Then it's popcorn time. :D Yep changed the oil. Twice, proper stuff (MTF 94/92 - can't remember which but it was the right one!)...

    Disco 2 Replacement Gearbox - Any ideas?

    Thanks Stan. too much money unfortunately. I also am not that impressed with Ashcroft gearbox work, long story, but I'd basically just like a genuine one from a used vehicle. If I can find one of course!

    Disco 2 Replacement Gearbox - Any ideas?

    Anyone know where I can get a decent used manual gearbox? Mine is notchy as hell, sometimes won't go into gear. It's definitely the gearbox. Wondering where a replacement can be got from? I think mine was an Ashcroft one (looks it) so looking for a genuine one which has a smooth change. Trouble...

    Thanks Andy. The trouble is finding a 100ohm resistor! We tried all sorts of bits of wire, light bulbs etc! I really need an exact 100Ohm resistor but don't have one. If you have any suggestions please shout! I am pretty sure the sensor is knackered though. Did you say you have one? How much...

    This is a 54 plate TD4. the VRM is BV54 GYB if that helps? The fuel guage constantly shows empty. It's not the fuel guage/clocks at fault, definitely the unit under rear seats, not sure if that's called a sender or a guage. I know it's there because we were playing with the wires trying to find...
