A mechanic offered me to switch my EAS to coils for a decent price. Honestly I didn't even consider his offer because yes, while the EAS has more systems to take care of than springs and it can cause all sorts of problems and even leave you...

No, the spring movement of the ign switch would trigger the relay. You don't need or have a timer at the moment. Timers we're just a modern convenience like auto chokes, electric handbrakes and other unnecessary stuff.

The resister I mentioned is on the bulkhead engine side, nothing to see behind the clocks other than the thick cable direct from the ign switch which can go straight to the first glow plug, number 4 cylinder. That cable, for the original engine...

Does the thick brown cable from the ign switch go to a resister on the bulkhead? It's a curly spring looking thing in a bracket, cable from that goes onto the glows. That thing isn't needed for a 200tdi just for earlier diesels. That 'might' be...

Britpart glowplugs are generally rubbish. You will get a voltage drop when all glowplugs are operating but does it start OK now? I let them glow for around 10 to 15 secs when it's frosty but that's with bosch glows.

Little update, I finally got around to looking into parts for this properly. Was cheaper to order the parts individually on ebay than get one ready made up if people are interested this is what I have bought: LINK1, LINK2, LINK3, LINK4, total...

Replaced the control arm ball joint today with massive help from @Flossie , don't think i could have done it on my own! I'm rubbish at thinking my way out of problems but I'll remember for a next one! Thank you :)

M8 they are.

Hi and welcome from me :vb-wavey:

Hi. I’m Tim. Live in UK and France. Had a variety of Landrovers over the years. Current one is a Freelander 2. Hope I have the right place to introduce myself.

:vb-wavey:watcha got?

Straight 6? They are 2.6ltr. If it's a 4 cylinder it's a 2.25.

I used to think there was something wrong with my brain. Then I came here and found a whole forum exactly the same

Great news John.

Great news. Went to hospital yesterday for colonoscopy. Camera right up to where splice is from tumour removal and all clear . NO signs of cancer only a non cancerous polyp found and that was removed. Slept a lot better last night :vb-angel1...
