Thanks LR the oil thats come out of the cv looks like dirty engine/gearbox oil ,same thickness,just wondering if its possible that oil could get into the cv joint from the ird box and with having an airtight boot on the oil would remain in there!

a little stuck on this and just looking for any sound advice the rubber gater on the front cv joint ,just infront of thr ird on the prop has failed,but what i can't understand is that i have lost some oil,about a 1/4 of a pint,is this normal lube oil in the cv or is there somthin more sinister...

Hi,cheers you left a mesage for me to check my circuit,starter problems,well i did that today and guess what,not a dicky starter or solenoid,but the number 7 fuse under the bonnet (solenoid fuse) had simply oxidised,hard to see with the naked eye,like a film over the metal,so 35 pence and i am...

slob,good idea,will check this first thing in the morning,suppose it could be something as simple as a relay,cheers

hi,looks like the starter is going on my freelander,plenty of clicking,aparently they do 3 dif types for the 99(T) d i,so i am led to beleive,can anyone tell me of any web sites i could trace the part number as i have seen some bargains on ebay,cheers,Mark

Hi jonno,yep i had this and it drove me mad,infact its happend twice to me,firt time,under load about 40mph vibration transmittig down prop,prop bearings were at fault,had tham replaced at £180.00 inc labour,car fine,2nd time,vibration again at 40mph,fault loose platic trim,garage cost...

Just mailed sidesteps uk,they may be able to help,fingers crossed

ok where do i start Bought an A Bar off ebay,unfortunatly no fixing brackets included,local land rover dealer not very interested and can't help (probably cause i didn't get the bar from them) have any of you fitted one of these using your own collection of bolts etc,if so or any ideas regards...

rover 200,sherpa freight,also a couple of othersi think

i have damaged my only key remote,any ideas as to de-mobiliseing the car and replacing the damaged unit cheers, Mark

anyone know if i will get a set from main dealer,or are they a standard bolt i can pick up at a spares shop?

1000 miles done,so the job was done approx 4 to 6 wks ago,have you been back for the filter,if not i would be suprised if they admit they still have it or infact admit any liability what so ever,as for damage if you have none now you should be fine,but get a box on asap

hi chaps,anyone know the name of the black paint land rover used on the 99 (T) year,if not any idea how i find out ? cheers lads

ok fitted new rear shoes in today,will these take time to bed in,the drum gets warm but not hot,also i hve lost a lot of tension on the handbrake,is this normal after this kind of job? cheers, mark

hi,(see my post over your vib damper) i had a bit of trouble with mine last year & just gave up and accepted that it would't work,one day i decided to put new pads on the front & guess what, hill decent working with dashboard lights

Hi nije,that sounds ok,acording to ashcrofts there are two diferent sizes,for the same year freelanders,what i will do is check my size and post you but this won't be untill monday,let me know if this is ok with you,i,am not to fafr away,over in blackpool. cheers,mark

anyone know where i can take my landrover for a bit of off roading,i am in the fylde area (blackpool)

must admit that nudge bar looks good,def do the same with mine. my freelander is black so the spotlight surround would match,an idea for yours,they would look well finished in your colour

iv'e been offerd a ABar for my freelander,its not colour coded,does anyone know if i could paint this to match my paintwork

refering to my post below,nothing is wrong with the function of the viscous coupling on my freelander,however it does have a loose (worn) vibration dmper,just looked at ashcrofts transmissions £75.00,anyone know if i could get a coppy part a bit cheaper also how bad of a job is it could i do it...
