Nice tratter, probably the glow plugs... No one changes them as the the inlet manifold has to come off to get in there... Thanks ford😜

Hello all, First time landy owner here so apologies if i ask the obvious questions, so please go easy 🤣! Bought and collected a 1989 Defender 90 with a 200tdi engine at the weekend as a on going project! Already changed the headlight and tinted...

There is only one release solenoid.

If I make time I'll have a mooch in my scrapper 🤔

You may want to post in the freelander section.

Maybe once the top section is open the latch switches the current via the lower gate locking mechanism.. It kind of makes sense... 🤔

Maybe micro switches? 🤔

Does it lose coolant in any way? Usually a stuck open injector will produce a foul smelling diesel odeur from the exhaust, the injector fuel returns may be tested with the injectors in situ, the results of all injectors can be compared. Any more...

Feeling a bit cornered 😶

Can also be a split exhaust manifold.

also remember that "ticking" is generally something worn. Double check it's had oil changes at the correct intervals, and who did them. Receipts for work done can help with warranty as well.

Thanks for your help. I've got it booked into the Main Dealer for the service and have asked them if they come across the cause of the ticking during the service to fix it (if warranted), but I'm not paying a diag fee. Puts the ball in their...

Data did a post about that so yes.

Sounds like my wife.

Don't waste money on the EAS kicker. Can you connect to the internet with your XP laptop? You will most likely need to download Netframework from Microsoft in order for the EAS software to run. The P38 is not OBD compliant, very few diagnostic...

I have an alternative to the OEM tailgate button that doesn't freeze up and costs a fraction of the price. Looks just like OEM unless you have the chrome button.

To be honest I don't know. Electrikery is my weaker point

just make sure you use main beams when its snowing

Good shout. What tells it that? Is there a sensor I should lubricate or something? If I whack it near the NS lamp cluster, that usually fixes it. Just like the Millenium Falcon hyper drive.

Most people do!

Okay! You have guessed it! All the Windows etc have started working again. Thank you Bill Gates! Just threaten your Range with a Window Panel and Consul Strip and she will cure herself and start working again: I do not know why! I am just...

Once it's received a hard fault the code will need to be cleared before the system works and then find out what's wrong. Go back over the rebuilt compressor and check for an error on the rebuild. Always go back to the last thing you did and go...

you could just employ someone to sit in the boot and press the tailgate outwards when the button is pressed? you might need to wire up a handshake buzzer in case said person falls asleep

I adjusted the hasps on the body inwards a touch, it helps the lower lid to spring outwards and push itself open when the button is pressed. Not a big adjustment otherwise you'll be slamming to the crap out of it to shut 😵

Just don't do what i did and put it all back together again and shut the tailgate before plugging the button back in.. took frigging hours to get the beggar open again!!

Why the crank bolt? No need to touch the crank to adjust the FIP timing. Easy to mod the fuse box for the third fuel pump circuit, just a 1N4005 diode needed.

With university degrees and bugger all practical experience :rolleyes:

Who have been smoking too much <insert drug of choice>

Designed by ignorant stupid peeps🤭

Violence wins! No further forward though. I can't afford to remove the sun roof to drop the middle bolts!! Why does it have to be so hard! How much give/bend is there before i crack/crease the headliner? Stupid place for the rf receiver...
