that's normal .. ....................... if you use the synergy module .. stick to no.2 setting for a bosch maf .. or the no.7 setting for a pierburg maf .. that way you won't be putting too much stress on the hp.pump. ppl go for the pierburg maf...

I popped to my local tried and tested breakers today to get a hazard light switch. The illumination has failed on mine and I CBA to strip it down and solder in a new LED (or what ever is involved) so for £2 or £3 I thought I'd grab one from a...

I've often found that despite a broken cable and utterly chewed up mechanisms, operating the switch for a bit allows some slack to then slide the glass down by hand. In my most recent regulator swap I even had to press the switch up for a couple...

Have a look at RAVE. I would have thought that the instructions for setting it up correctly are in there. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rave-disk-maintenance-manual.260227/

Nope, it gave me the passenger side! The driver's arm stopped at the up position and the passenger side kept going! Clips were ordered from the car park I was sitting in straight after my post this morning so hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow. To...

Gotta love LR ownership. Just driven back from a successful retest and the car celebrates by doing this in the pouring rain...

Yep. They have spacers on but it'll be down to where the LR technician drilled the holes for the lugs as to where they sit when ever they were fitted. Both of mine touch the lenses on the side that they fit into the grill, although I had to...

The Turtle Wax stuff I have got claims to also seal the headlamps to protect them but I'm sceptical so I will get some clear coat in due course. Now that I've got the siezed light guard fixings off and will be replacing them it'll be easy to whip...

We shall pray for Brother Abbot, for he shall bestow great knowledge.

I'm definitely willing you on with this one Arctic. Keep fighting the good fight.

If you’ve not done already, give them a clear-coat to finish and protect. Look good!

So I started the job before seeing the advice above but I managed to drill off the heads without melting the plastic. I drilled a little bit at a time, taking advantage of the brisk wind to cool the bolts. I then managed to manipulate the rivnuts...

Yep, it's the two screws holding the guards on to the wing that are the issue. All four of them! I guess they have rivnuts or somethig on them. The headlights will be staying on the car but the guards really do need to come off for me to polish...

Yep. Just got to try and get the guards off. The fixings just turn!

Took it for MOT. Failed on headlight image on both sides. I must admit, the lights are cloudy, and there is condensation in them.

Yep, they should. There are a few threads on here about sorting them. My hazard light switch illumination has just failed. I'll probably get a replacement switch from the local scrappy though as although you can replace the LEDs, it's a bit...

Popped back to get the wheel alignment checked. A minor bit of adjusting and we're running straight and true

Today I investigated the propshaft vibration I was experiencing at 55+ mph. I whipped off the front half and found that the front CV joint was pretty rattly. Eureka I thought, that'll be it. Went for a quick spin with the rear half still on and...

After all of the mechanical goings on I did a frivolous cosmetic upgrade today. Badly faded grill and tailgate handle badges replaced with shiny new black and silver ones

I don't think so but I wasn't there to see them do it as I had to go to a site meeting. They didn't need to do the rear though. There is still an everso slight pull to the left but I think that's possibly road camber. Difficult to say though for...

Wheel alignment done this morning.

Get another on that CB aerial mount!

Handbrakes do vary from FL1 to FL1. My experience is that if you pull handbrake to centre shoes, then slacken the cable right off loose, then flick the adjusters until the shoes are just rubbing the drum but not tight, then adjust cable for 4...

You're going to be rivaling Exmoor Trim at this rate Andy. First class stuff. I wondered about filling some plastic bags with sand to use in the pockets to ensyre the fabric sticks, but this method looks good.

Considerably. I won't be doing handbrake turns but it is much better. Nipped up the cable another couple of turns this morning too.

Fitted new turbo solenoid. No more power reductions and no fault codes for boost problems, however, the live data states that the boost is still hitting 248 Kpa inlet manifold pressure on occasions. None of my other TD4's get over 220 Kpa and...

Ineffective rear shoes replaced this evening. I think the new handbrake cables must have some stretch in them.

Top marks for perseverance

What about the Freelander !?!?! :) Thought of @kernowsvenski today. Not something that happens often :oops:. Having stopped the waterfall of oil from the cam cover, there was a small amount still dripping much lower down. I went straight to the...

Not my Freelander, but one I'm working on. Today I adjusted the rear shoe's, and hand brake cables so I could get the hand brake working as it should do.
