Thanks @andyfreelandy. I need/want to have a second working fob. Knowing it is the 17TN is a huge help. I just ordered a pscan from @pscan.eu to help me with the bizarre behaviour on the SRS side, so I can do the CCU work too.

I just looked here and on eBay for a FL1 2005 key fob supplier. Any recommendations that respect the bank account please? Do the Rover 25 45 100 200 400 ZS ZR MG MGF 2 Button fobs suit FL1? Thanks

Thanks, while out shopping for beer to help my misery, I thought much as you. I’ve called a friend who has the LR setup to fully diagnose. Maybe there is something happening with the ECU and there is no fault at all with the systems it’s monitoring, like a false negative. I’ll post back when I...

Does a hippo drive you to drink?? 🤣 What’s so infuriating is everything else is working, even HDC. Pretensioners are all same length. I’m ringing The Samaritans later…. they surely know some of our issues!

Hello, came to UK last week with the TD4 2005 Facelift FL1 (manual trans, no cruise control). During the ferry crossing and hour getting through a DRENCHED Portsmouth, I had both the SRS light come on and the orange hill descent warning light show. Overnight; the HDC warning disappeared. But...

Thanks, mine must be an early genuine LR example, it looks exactly like the assembly notes that show the spacers. Strange though that I couldn’t find it on the classic landrover site. All in all, your idea and my thinking about making spacers up is the way forwards.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked and there are no plates welded to my LR tow bar.

Makes perfect sense, thank you. I appreciate it.

Hello Okay, the new DM clutch is in and I need to fit a tow bar. My TD4 never had one fitted. I sourced a used genuine LR tow bar with OEM fasteners and was about to fit it. I read the fitting instructions posted in the forum from 2008. I see in step 6 on page 3 there are 2 spacer plates...

Hello all I would appreciate your ideas since I don’t have a monopoly on clever thinking… or money :( My TD4 has 230,000 miles, I am getting 45mpg REGULARLY. This last year I had to replace all the prop shaft bearings and joints. This last week full new LUK DM clutch and hydraulics (I have...

Just another afterthought... when I introduced the inline mod' and had removed the standard thermostat, I was paranoid about air locks since I had removed ALL the coolant from below and backflushed with a hose to get as much debris out of the system as possible. I jacked the front right wheel...

If you don`t remove it to check it for functioning, how do you know it isn`t stuck part open and impeding flow and creating an airlock without the bleed hole modification?

I would say it is unlikely but not impossible that you have an air lock? When I fitted my inline thermostat, I recall filling and running the engine for quite a while without the coolant tank cap in place and topping up a few times. Also, if the thermostat is closed, the engine block side got...

Clutch is done and it all feels like a new Hippo at the pedal. Was it worth doing? Hell yes. 806km, 50,5litres today. 45mpg. This car has a lot to give yet.
