hi just to say i had the same problem as mentioned and thought as mentioned the cables and drums, but after much head scratching and swearing found problem to be the plastic sliding dust cover beneath the handbrake handle,for some reason it had distoted and the lever didn't drop off fully...

yes i would go for it at that price mainwaring,as long as it works the little green trailer symbol on your dash,sounds like a bargain.paid £24 for one couple of years ago.tim.

mann,the blasted copper washer does not fit over my drain plug,tim.

hi van man,go for the blue one, its for the facelift freelanders,me also got an 05 van.tim.

hi, just to add, if you have air con,you should have a pollon filter,as said by singvogel its in the footwell passengers side.tim.

hi cremator ,which hole,where is it? tim. sorry if i sound so blunt.

thanks longdod,still wondering where the air is coming from on cremators though.tim.

intresting this one,i like cremator have a td4 commercial looks nothing like singvogels set up,thought it might be a commercial thing, but as springer says dont think thats the case.like to know what all the pipework does on yours though singvogel? mine as others i suspect,only has the coolant...

yep think it should be there,its a drain for any water that might get in the air box,should be checked that its not blocked when changing the air filter. regards tim.

must say after reading cuza68 s comment,glad i didnt change me pas pump,noise been there for past,26k though,watching this with intrest,hoping for a cheap cure.tim.

hi mr k,hope i can help you here,got an 05 aswell,had the same symptoms as you,got peed off with them,convinced myself it was the vcu. milage was 135k.had vcu replaced with a new one. noise still there. it is the pas pump have now found out.tim

had both bits fitted couple of weeks back,best price i could get it down here was£420.did search fleebay best one on offer then was £370 delivered.hope it helps'good luck,tim.

just like to add i got some oe vcu bearings from ashcrofts and they were hardy spicer on the box ? tim

perhaps sible88 might like to explain how spending 17.50 on 4 ltrs of magnatec is a waste of money?

hi dawn,must say i agree with above,found the gen lr mats to be the best.tim

lots of good reasons for having 15 inches elvis,wheels that is.:) tim.

altan,do you have the auto box or the manual gearbox,if its the auto then you might have undone the wrong plug? tim.

that must mean the torque settings in me work shop manual must be for those of us who are not confident tightening nuts and bolts then.tim :)

think i must be a no body! i use a torque wrench.tim:)

hi cremator,just a thought how tight did you do the drain plug back up? tim.
