that's what my Jaguar XJ is for.

I had a Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI auto that was like that. It only had four gears and first was very high. Pulling out on busy roundabouts was a nightmare. I would have to stay back from the line and anticipate a gap, floor it, and run up to the...

by the way, I bought a double DIN cage and a Freelander 1 adapter, but this didn't work well. It resulted in the headunit sticking out of the dash by about 14mm too much. What did work was drawing around the adapter onto a piece of scrap washing...

Hi I bought a Joying Android head unit a couple of years ago. I can find no indications of what exact model it is in the menus, it just says Android 10. There are two unused wires coming out of the back labelled "key1" and "key2" and my guess is...

It's not perfect, but I quite like it. i think that maybe the gearbox assumes that the engine has more torque than it does, so it does take a fair bit of accelerator depression before it "kicks down", but I actually quite like that. I can...

I went for a bit of a drive with a friend this morning and got it warm. Went back to the garage and got it level (previously it was a bit nose up) and warm (previously I think it was cold) and I had to add a whole litre of ATF before it started...

The noise definitely varies with input revs, so it's something that's spinning at input speed. When I looked at this before I noticed that in D but stationary the noise is still there. The interesting thing about D and stationary is that in that...

I removed both belts (PAS and alternator). The noise stays the same.

can anyone tell me what they think this noise is? doesn't do it when the drivetrain is cold:-

I have spent a few days playing with different types of solder. I got some 56% silver, and it is incredibly strong:- but, I had to get it very, very hot to make it work. An ordinary propane torch wasn't hot enough and I had to go to MAP X gas...

today went a bit better as I managed to dismantle the starter motor:- so I can just heat the bit that I need to silver solder it, not the whole thing:- the only part of this that seems plastic is the dust shield on that front bearing. I...

the results are in:- weld let go on the pinion. I think that I have been incredibly lucky. It that had fallen off and gone round the flex plate or torque converter I think that there's a real chance that it would have smashed it's way out...

I may have a resolution to my gearbox rattles. We shall see. Yesterday I went to visit an auto gearbox specialist for them to have a listen. They were adamant that the noise sounded like something outside of the gearbox, so inside the bell...

not quite true. I haven't cracked the instrument cluster or the cruise control ECU yet

I found "PP-T40" inside the airbox, so it's Polypropylene, a type of thermoplastic. Apparently it's difficult to glue so I will need to weld it.

anyone know what kind of plastic a Freelander 1 air filter box is made from? I need to modify mine to clear a coolant pipe that I added for the transmission cooler.

If I knew which part is causing the noise, I would change it. It has to be either the oil pump or the torque converter. I don't really want a bad part to spread metal through an otherwise good gearbox.

First drive, and according to my friend who was driving (because he has trade insurance to drive anything), it drives very, very nicely:-

No, it was used parts Russian roulette

actually, I just tried it on our TD4, and Hill Descent is supposed to start flashing as soon as you press the button, and then it goes solid once either the 1st or R switches close. But I'm not longer even getting the flashing green Hill Descent...

also, Hill Descent no longer works. I press the button and put the transmission in 1 or R, and nothing happens. Looking at circuit diagrams from the original 1.8 there is a first gear switch (not now connected at all) and a reverse switch (now...

I didn't sleep much last night as I was thinking about the noise from my transmission. So, in this scenario:- Engine running In D or R Foot on brake, so wheels not turning I think because it's in gear and the wheels are not turning, then most...

I'm just a few days from being able to drive this, though I don't like a noise coming from the transmission. Anyone got any ideas where to get modified car insurance for this? I tried Greenlight insurance but they wouldn't even give us a quote.

Are you looking for something that just does the engine ECU? or do you want to spend a bit more and get complete vehicle coverage? The one that I sell covers almost every ECU on a Freelander 1 and I'm UK based. More details here...

Yes it is changing. 12v in P or N, 0V in other positions. I was probing with a voltmeter in the wrong place.

looking at live data from the Immo, there is a parameter called "In gear" It isn't changing whatever I do with the gear selector. I think they must be coded to manual or auto.

Doh, I was probing on the wrong side of the inhibitor switch. When I probe on C0067-7 I'm getting 12V in P or N, and 0v in any other position, but the immo is still ignoring that and letting me start in any gear

changed to Fuse 6 on my 2004 wiring diagram, which is actually how I wired it:-

The circuit diagram says Fuse 35 to header 0292 to the inhibit switch to C0067-7 behind the radio to the immo

I'm pretty happy with this:-
