    TD4 water pump pulley possibly broken.

    While it is off, check and / or replace the O ring on the coolant rail. Impossible to get off without removing pump and stat. Or rail which is harder !! A new pump comes with a new gasket which requires the old one, if original, to be cut off as the gasket was made in one piece when engine was...

    Freelander 1 Front brake squeal

    The glass position when closed is indicated by a hall effect sensor in the motor assembly. When it stops moving the CCU knows glass is up. As above, recalibrate with glass in and see what happens. In have had defective sensors which can be changed or motor complete can be changed.

    Freelander 1 Front brake squeal

    New vented, grooved discs fitted. Ceramic grease where needed. All brake dust cleaned out. Wheels cleaned too !! See how it goes. Was quiet on test drive. Need to bed them in for a few hundred miles.

    Freelander 1 Air con hose needed.

    I tried an aluminium welding stick and a gas torch. All super clean and it flowed nicely but obviously not gas tight. Soapy bubbles proved that !!
