    Stealth Screen

    I bought a roof mounted screen a few months back and found it at the back of my garage today and thought I'd try fitting it today. After looking at the size of the headliner, I changed my mind and pulled it apart to see if I could find another space to mount the screen... after sizing up the...

    engine disabled

    Mine did exactly what yours does when entering the code. Only the driver door locks and unlocks until one more unlock after entering everything. Then they all open. At that point you need to resync your fob by clicking the buttons on it till it works with the car. Not sure if the key still has...

    Idependant Garage In High Wycombe/Amersham area

    Hi mate, I'm in Amersham and took my range to these guys (landrover specialist) a few weeks back: Home Page the website looks awful but the place seems pretty sorted and the people working there were very friendly and helpful. I havent actually had any work done there yet (still saving the...

    how do i set the cruise control

    I believe that button locks it into whatever height you're in. If you're in access mode tho, and you lock it, a message will come up about keeping your speed down and I think it bleeps at you.

    4.6 into 4.0 car

    Mine would be the gems engine then with the 4.0 on the top. Does that mean I should stick with another gems engine then? I'll keep the manifolds from my engine and swap them over for the LPG system. Seems easier using one thats been done then messing about trying to get another right...

    What price a new engine?`

    I've got a KA for sale! £1000 tho... Failing that, get a merc 190e. You can buy one for next to nothing, and it should chug up the miles without giving you any problems at all... ever! Think I'm in the same boat as you. I'm clearing out the garage and looking at replacement engines, along with...

    4.6 into 4.0 car

    Just out of curiosity really, but I may have found a 4.6 engine for a good price, but I have the 4.0 in my range. how easy/hard is it to replace the 4.0 for a 4.6. Could i just replace the bits I need (short block) or is it better to just replace the whole engine? Secondly, I have an LPG...

    What price a new engine?`

    haha, I didnt really think about it under the compression forces :p If I do take the heads off to have a look and it is a slipped liner, I take it I cant just bolt it all back together again, can I? Also, how bad is it to drive with it like that? I've done a couple local runs and it hasnt lost...

    Advice for a new looker

    from my limited experience: If you go for LPG, make sure its multipoint. I'm 27 and my insurance is £310 on a 1996 4.0ltr with lancaster insurance (classic car specialists). You'll most probably be plagued with problems, like I have recently found out (most have been very easy to fix, others...

    What price a new engine?`

    What do you look for when you pull the engine apart? I have exactly the same problem with slow coolant loss and no other symptoms. I'm pretty sure mine is slipped liners, but might be an idea to double check before I start forking out huge sums of money.

    how do i set the cruise control

    also, after you've pressed the main switch with the motorway, and then the 'set' switch on the wheel, you can then press the set switch again to increase the speed. I think one click = 1mph increase. Switch on the other side cuts the cruise control briefly for the car to slow down, then you can...

    Keycode lockout again

    I had this a couple days ago after my batt died. Kept chirping when I tried to enter the EKA thingy. I followed some advice on here and disconected my battery for an hour then reconnected it. Then I hooked up some charging leads and left it to charge for a few hours (make sure you don NOT leave...

    I'd appreciate it massively. And I'm happy to wait as long as it takes. Not a lot else I can do at this point anyway :p

    fun times!

    Right, I left the range for a few days - thursday to tuesday - and came back to a lifeless lump. Batts were dead. My girlfriend jumped in the drivers seat (first time she's seen it and was quite excited) and shut the door. I popped the bonnet and hooked up the charger. Door locked with the g/f...

    2.5 DT Non Starting

    think you want to be in the freelander forum, but as far as i know, when you run out of fuel in a diesel you need to bleed the system. you can also kill the pump (and possibly other things) as it needs to be well lubricated, so stop trying to start it until its been bled. dont hold me to any of...
