Ok basically im screwed , ive bought a freelander on behalf of a friend and the more I look at it the more I can see wrong with it !! The direction control doesnt change on the blowers , its a 2002 so im assuming a cable has stretched it snapped somewhere , Is there anywhere I can reach under...

Ok guys , I did this today in 1 hr , ill talk you through my experience , the whole job cost me £23 and that included a sturdy set of 2 ton axle stands that they had at halfords for £10 , yes £10 !! In the sale and Eurocarparts part in one of their any excuse to have a sales sales for £13...

OK , Thanks , ill have a go.

ill try and get it off and angle grind it , ill wrap myself in bubble wrap , ill be ok. has anyone got any experience re this bolt on flexi pipes , if I try to leave a good bit of overlap on in to slide it on im hoping u clamp either end will get it through its MOT

Thanks for all replies especially re lifting whole of front for links

If you look at left of image next to flexi this is where it has snapped

Ok , this is how it stands now ive had a proper look. The anti roll link has snapped as is just hanging there , ill sort that easy Second thing is exhaust , its not the mid box its the flexi that has totally snapped off at the front , now as this part goes right up into the engine bay im not...

No but I'll get some , the section I need bolts onto the cat and fits into back box , they are £45 on ebay , im hoping to do both jobs for under £100 if poss , don't have an angle grinder , might invest Thanks for reply

I have bought a freelander 2002 , it has failed its mot on just 2 things so I'm hoping it's a real bargain , just to clarify It's failed on the below Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage fractured (5.3.3 (b) (ii)) Now I have spanners , I have axle stands , I have a trolly Jack , I have...

Not a biggy this one but it is annoying , when stationary in traffic the steering wheel vibrates , when I put my hand on it is stops , the bolt is really tight , any suggestions ? Thanks

Put replacement powerspark in today , along with the new coil its running better than its ever run , starts first time . I think what probably happened is that I damaged the original coil which somehow damaged the electric ignition and when I replaced the coil I assumed it was that , thanks for...

Good news today , I put the points and condenser back in ( steep learning curve) and it started , it sounded like a brick in a washing machine ( timing ) but it started , I let it run for 5 seconds and shut it off . I'm not adjusting the timing to suit the points because it's set up for the...

I've just had a Landy garage look at it as a favour , power to coil , power from coil to electronic ignition but no spark , he says it's is fed electronic ignition , states I should remove and re install points to test ,now all I have to do is remember how to install points!

Yeah , I think the set up is correct , it has.been working correctly for 12 months , the only wires to coil are ignition and red to + and black to negative , I'm removing it this morning and putting points back in ( temp) to try to get to the bottom of it . no ballast

Ok , ill try to explain a bit better (apologies) there are 2 wires to the + on coil , 1 from ignition to coil and on same terminal a red one to dizzy , other black wire from - on coil to dizzy , the + ignition is definitely live , therefore I'm assuming that if I put live wire to bulb and take...

Ok , Thanks for advice , this is where I am with this , If I run a live wire from the coil to a bulb and another earth wire to the body then the bulb lights up , if I use the wire coming from the power spark to earth it it doesn't light up so I'm assuming it's an earthing problem with dizzy...

Ok , update , I was mistaken , there is power to coil , so I have power to coil but no power to distributor , It is an electric power spark ignition kit that replaced points , I installed it about 12 months ago, I understand that it has a 3 year guarantee , has anyone had any similar issues ?

How can I check power spark electric ignition ? The dizzy is turning does that mean that it is working ?

Ok fully charged battery did nothing, pulled plugs , they were black and wet , poss fuel , cleaned them up , no difference , no idea what the green crap is on one of the plugs ?
