Ah. Is that installed in the cab permanently somewhere or just there for diagnostic purposes?

Problem solved? Ah, it would seem not. Driving the wife to work this morning I suffered abrupt power loss again. On getting home I did a code read and sure enough, I have an overboost code again, 20-02. It would seem I maybe had more than one problem. I've been doing a few google searches and...

What's that fitting on top of the intake manifold just aft of the EGR delete? Never seen that before.

I chucked it in the back of the Disco I took it off. That was taken away today by it's new owner. I'm sure I have one tucked away somewhere from my old Defender. I'll have to see if I can find it and see what sort of state it's in. Probably similar as the Defender had similar astronomical...

It's a strange one. It was perfectly free when I fitted it but now there are 3 places where it sticks fast. Also, there is a lot of axial play in the spindle so it's probably fubar.

Just thought I'd update this topic and throw out another question. Long story short: the wastegate lever was very sticky and I was unable to free it up so I've taken the turbo off and fitted the original turbo back on. Problem solved. However, I changed the original turbo because it was very...

Spent most of the day wrestling with the exhausts on both cars only to find I can't really use anything from either car from the downpipe backwards. So I've had to bite the bullet and order a new centre section and back box. I'll have to give the wife a lift to work and collect her again every...

The exhaust started blowing and rattling during the week so I needed to take a look at that before carrying on with the other stuff. It's rusted through on the hanger on the entry to the back box. So for now I've cut the back box out and will have a look at the spares car tomorrow to see what's...

When I built my flatbed I had a ton of unused connectors that I just cut off and taped up. I've had no problems.

Whatever you feel comfortable with.

This thread needs pictures.

3 bolts on each end into captivated nuts in the inner side of the chassis rail. 2 more bolts going through the bottom of the bar up to captivated nuts in the chassis.

Presumably it's the lift pump in the wheel arch at that price. Seems reasonable. A decent fuel pump would be around £200 to buy. You can get them as cheaply as £40 but I'd be pretty suspect of the quality at that price. If the garage has fitted genuine parts then it's about right.

I tackled the side steps on the donor vehicle this morning. Surprisingly they came off really easily. So this weekends work will be fitting those and the towbar. Seeing as I had a lot more time than I thought I was going to have this morning I put the blank window panels and hard top on the...

It also doesn't have the requisite number of wheels.

Hmm, not sure when the Freelander got the facelift. I assumed this was a facelift model as it also has the later dash. The rear quarterlights are fully working. The hinge brackets are there to mount them on. Took quite a while to clean up the edges of the openings as the blank panels are sealed in.

I've started a project thread for this now. Here.

It wouldn't be a project without me doing something to it would it? As luck would have it, another 3 door Freelander came up for sale nearby at a price that couldn't be ignored. It was a 2005 TD4 manual with no MOT. It was being used as a farm vehicle with an appropriately filthy interior but I...

With my wife's car suffering major electronic problems a while back and likely to be off the road for a considerable amount of time we needed something for her to use in the meantime. This was a fantastic excuse for me to buy another Land Rover and this tidy 2003 TD4 automatic van happened to be...

KInd of. But it all belongs to someone.
