I’m not far from Langley and might be able to help. I’ve got a set of TD4 injectors that were working fine when pulled; you’re welcome to borrow them for testing. No need for a deposit, just look after them and let me know how it goes

Loosely start all screws first to allow adjustment, then align the shroud so it doesn’t rub, and gradually tighten screws evenly. Loosen screws if needed to fit the instrument panel, then retighten once aligned.

That part is called the front bumper with fog light bezel or front bumper assembly with fog lights. It was a factory option on some ’99 Freelander models. You should be able to find it through Land Rover parts dealers, specialty Rover forums, or used parts sellers. Searching for “1999 Freelander...

If there's no voltage at the front pump, check the washer switch and wiring—it's likely an electrical issue, not the pump itself.

You likely got the correct EGR delete, but it's a version meant for TD5s with an EGR cooler. The mushroom blank is for the exhaust side. The solid lower appendage and the upper one with a hole are likely unused coolant ports. Since your 2000 TD5 doesn’t have the cooler, you can ignore or cap...

Your gearbox slipping when towing is likely due to heat or stress under load. Check the transmission fluid level and condition first. If it’s low or burnt, replace it. If the issue continues, internal wear may be the cause. A transmission cooler can help prevent overheating while towing.

Try Adrian Flux, Lancashire Insurance, Classic Line, or NFU Mutual. They’re often competitive for Defenders and might offer better rates for modified or classic vehicles.

Transition glasses are indeed a great choice for those who want convenience and versatility. They adapt to different lighting conditions, offering both clear vision indoors and the protection of sunglasses outdoors. Chashmay’s collection seems like a solid option, with a variety of stylish...

Anyone had a roof tent on their v90, and if so any recommendations and what roof bars did you use. Seen these a few times and looks good for the odd nite away, thanks

Check out the Kampa Tailgater or Tailgater Air—both are drive-away awnings that fit well on the rear of a Defender and can be left standing when you head out. They’re quick to set up and generally fall within your £200 budget. Also worth considering is the REDCAMP SUV awning or a Dune Quickstop...

For the gearbox overheating issue, start by checking the oil, filter, and cooler, and perform a flush. Inspect the fluid quality for signs of overheating or contamination and ensure the fluid level is correct. If the problem continues, a second-hand gearbox might be needed. Also, check for fault...

If you install an EGR blanking kit, you’ll usually need to update or tune the ECU to avoid check engine lights or limp mode. Some cars can handle a simple blank without a tune, but for a proper and reliable setup, it’s best to have the ECU adjusted after blanking it.

Has anyone done this? How difficult is it? I have seen a video of the intake manifold removal which seems like a pain because of all the things to detach, but it doesn't seem that difficult if you have patience lol. However, I can't seem to find a video specifically regarding the fuel rail...

I’m planning to replace the oil cooler on my L322 4.4 TDV8 and wanted to check if anyone here has done it before. I’ve heard it can be a bit tricky due to access issues. Any tips on what to watch out for? Do I need to remove the intake manifold completely, or is there a way around it? Also, any...

Glad to hear it passed! For the noise in third gear, check the gearbox oil level first. If it’s fine, the issue could be with the synchros or bearings. After that, focus on the differential oil, engine service, and auxiliary belts as planned.
