:behindsofa: Did a separate post to this last year relating to the leak which turned out to be the water pump. Pain in the ass to do but I also had problems after removing the injectors and sending them for overhaul at a specialist Bosch Company...The car ran like a bag of nails afterwards...

Thanks for the replies Guys. The condition of the steel pipes under the bonnet is excellent and unmarked. I will probably cut and flare it close to where it goes through from the engine bay to the wheel arch and fit a connector. The flaring tool I have will flare the steel fine and I can do it...

:behindsofa: '02, TD4, Manual I am going to replace the front discs, pads and flexy hoses prior to it's MOT next Month. I am expecting the solid pipe nuts where they fit into the flexy hoses to be rusted in and to have to replace the original steel pipes with copper. Having a quick look...

The four ARB bush clamp bolts are accessible with a couple of long extension bars and a ratchet from above quite easily-no U.J. required on the setup. However the first time I had a go at mine, I found that the crap LR, M8 flanged head bolts* had rusted and the heads were rounded, I had to...

:behindsofa: The adaptive values can be reset easily and quickly with Faultmate/Autologic or Test Book. Alternatively, the system will relearn the new values itself over about 100 miles. All a reset does is returns all the settings to a default (As new) value and it still takes a few miles...

:behindsofa: Hiya Tony...Nah, just lurking in the background keeping my beady eye on yourself and Keith :smokin::smokin::fencing::fish::monitor_punch::hysterically_laughi

No need to take the seat out of the car-tip the seat back and remove underseat connectors . Just remove the three M6 nuts ( 2 at the front + 1 at the back) and the pozidrive holding the heater duct to the lid. Disconnect the battery Neg. lead and then disconnect the Becm power feed cables (M6...

Had a quick look on the web and it seems the keys go from A to J (10 variants).

I don't think they keep the wheel nut key on the database, just the ignition/door key, radio/CD code and the electrical security coding. I have the original code card with my handbook and there is no mention of the wheel nut key on there or in the handbook, apart from where I have written it...

PCB's and 50% coolant mix is a marriage made in hell !!! Remove the Becm, take off the top cover (TX10 key), unplug CAREFULLY the ribbon cable connectors and lift the board from the opposite side to the fuses until it's vertical. Remove the torx screws (TX10) securing the lower board and lift...

Are you near to a breaker who tends to specialises in Freelanders ?? (Good reason for putting your location in your profile) as they tend to keep the locking nuts and keys for sale. You could, if that's the case, try all the keys they have and hope to strike lucky. I am not 100% sure-because I...

Could also be a problem with the HP fuel pump...if so, maybe you might consider just changing the complete engine.I think that would be more economical than paying a fortune in labour & parts due to the amount of dismantling, cleaning, checking etc. involved. You should be able to get a full...

:behindsofa: Hi Gary, I used one of these on my FL1, TD4, Synergy 2a. BLUE ANGEL EYE PUSH BUTTON SWITCH LATCHING 12V LED SIMILAR TO SAVAGE KIT CAR | eBay The Indicator ring illuminates when the switch is depressed (Power mode). I located it into the rectangular blank to the right of the...

TIP When I came to replace both wishbones on my FL1, TD4, I had the same problem accessing the ball joint nut. I had a combination spanner-not Snap On or best quality :eek: and ground the "Ring" end down to reduce the thickness and enable it to be slid in the gap between the hub "Lug" and the...

I used to use Island when we lived down in the ROI (Co. Offaly) and had my P38. I would make up an order in excess of £50 + VAT and got a great deal on the shipping. If the items were in stock, used to take around 3 working days. Drop them a mail and see what they can do. As far as I know...

:behindsofa: Have a look on the Island 4 x 4 website, there is a choice on there to suit your pocket, Plus they ship free if you spend over £50. They are a reputable company that's been around for years. Although LUK are supposed to be the dogs bollix, I would be happy to go along with AP...

Centralise the ARB and fit a couple of Jubilee clips. You may need to remove the engine undertray for good access to fit & tighten them.

Got the shockers off Ebay. There is a Company in the West Midlands who had a batch of Delphi (OEM) going for around £58 a piece. I am pleased with them. :)

Hi Gary...you seem to be a lover of LED conversions.... Have you replaced the amber indicator lamps (21W-front & rear) ? If so, did you get any problems with the flash rate, dash warning light or hazard light function. I am considering fitting them to my '02, TD4 facelift.

Did you remove the ABS wheel sensor before removing the old drive shaft ? Was the exciter ring on the old CV joint badly corroded ? Could be that the sensor is not touching the ring. On my 2002, TD4 when I removed the rear hubs a couple of weeks ago I noticed that the outer CV joints do not have...
