I would start with the driveline, propshaft, flanges, flexi coupling at rear. When the prop starts to go dry it starts making a sort of squeeky rattling noise, but if you check closely you should see all the rust and sheet coming out of it. But failing that grease one at a time and see if it...

You're a hard man, just bolt the fokers onto the new alternator and its sortid, thats what I do anyway.

Could have run the little bastid over I guess and said it was shock.

There was two, the other one came out because I said I wasnt paying the fixed penalty and charged me, probably close to getting arrested.

What the fook can you do when a little bastid cop that you pass at the side of the road follows you and when you park and get out of the car, he pulls up and says he was going to stop you because he claims you had no seatbelt on, when you claim it was he says well you must have put it back on...

Lamps on the roof are fine but if its tricky stuff your driving through then you might want to see the ground at the wheels, and couple of work lamps that can be positioned in any position you need might be a good idea.

If you take that bung out toss it and fit a plumbing fitting, the plastic fokirs break off and you wont get any overheating indications because it drains the water from the sender first, ie a dead engine.

Engines dont get addicted, its actually normally the knackered engines that are started with this that lead to this tale. Myself and others have started loads of engines with this without any problems. When on a scania course a few years ago we went into this theory and it seems that the...

When you go to main beam do all the light go out?, see above.

Oh and a tip when doing electrics, specially behind a dash, open the bonnet and slacken the battery terminal off. You cause a short and the whole vehicle will go up in seconds before you find a spanner to get the battery disconnected.

Probably the bastid fan stuck on all the time, I took mine off and fitted a kenlowe

The preheat comes on for a few seconds, however if you listen you can hear the relay click if its working a few seconds after turning the ignition on. It sounds like the battery is knackered tho and turning the engine over too slow. Most of these engines will start without a preheat, but if the...

It definatly sounds like one of the systems is down, you can clamp the rear flex pipes and drive it "carefully" with front brakes only a short distance someswhere quiet, and see if it still feels the same. A visit to an mot station and a few quid will get it brake tested.

I personally wont use britpart stuff again, I dont think its very good. I guess if its a load of work getting in there then best to fit a good part.

That old egr valve that you havent bypassed??

Fit a **** belt from britpart and you bend a few valves who cares, think of the positive side and how much fun you will have taking the head off in the ****ing rain and freezing cold of winter, magic stuff. Infact I think I will take mine off for fun "right now" nakid. If I can remember there...

Oh Its an idea and what we are here for mucker, some are good and some aint, but who cares.;)

I think britpart is a bit dodgy.

Thats because yur a plonker. Like burning the toast twice. might have been done already and might not require it, and might be one that doesnt need it my 96 didnt but do a check, and dont buy a britpart belt if they do one that is, I dont think the dealers are any different from a good make of...

I guess somebody has to get picked on, and the freelander seems to be the runt, however I have to say on one of the outings in our club they stated that part of the route would not be suitable for road tyres and freelanders. On a positive note tho, if it aint so good at offroading then I guess...
