I have the same shopping list as Landowner, albeit flexible on some points. My current vehicle (flame proof underpants are on) is an Austrian built Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 (Merc) CRD, which has been totally reliable the last 4 years, does everything my past LRs have done, so a hard act to...

Forget foam, wire mesh it like wot Data said :D

:rolleyes: I did a phone video recording of my leak, whilst pouring water on the screw from a jug. It was like a running tap onto the carpet. Unhelpfully I can't find the recording, but it was about 8 years ago :rolleyes: and I can't find most stuff from yesterday, never mind 8 years...

:D:D o_O:rolleyes:

Think yer right. Good job really as that would've been a really weird dream :confused:o_O

Cover screws Al or summert else? Erm... has heater o-rings been checked? No smell of antifreeze on carpets, coolant loss etc?

Yup, as pictured. This is the only screw ole that bypasses the filter cover and leads into the air duct. If the screw head is also busted off its even more likely. Fingers crossed it works.

Me thinks a lot of gear at Island is marked OEM, but then also 'OEM Quality' is often stated on the same page, which of course ain't the same thing. Still, Island stuff was always OK with me.

Sunroof; I treat roof seals on the hard top convertible with Nextzett from Amzn (no RR currently, still in rehab after the last :confused:) expensive but lasts a long time, has stopped internal drips. Grease gets crudded up with dirt so I try to avoid. I wouldn't even think about opening it in...

Freelander 1: 225 55 R17 winter tyres Michelin X-Ice winter tyres, used with studs removed. Recently purchased alloys for Jeep with theses fitted, but tyres are incorrect size for Jeep. (Now removed from wheels). No good for my FL2 either. 4 tyres, no damage I can see, vernier shows over 7mm...

Sealing the filter housing covers did naff all to fix my internal waterfall, as others have said, Overseal the scuttle panel screw head just above the filter cover, otherwise water just bypasses the filter and drops straight into the air duct.

@Tenebreaux Ah fantastic the post no. 10 link just worked fine for me, I gave up a while back trying to get Rave running again, now sweet as a nut on my Win 10 laptop, not even had to change compatibility settings. However my laptop doesn't have fully up to date Win 10 on it.... the diddie 32GB...

Are you aware of common leak point above filter cover?

To quote @Saint.V8 (the boss on this sort of thing).... Transfer Box ECU - under the passanger seat, if it smells burnt, its toast...they do fail regularly by burning out the compnents on the circuit board...esp. if the transfer motor is stuck Transfer Motor - these do seize up, also the...

One of the first things I'd check is battery under load test, especially as you've had draining issues previously.

@Enthusiastman just looking back on your posts, thanks for the warning on KW02AEB, I already had that bookmarked in eBay :eek:

Any regrets compared to auto?

Very nice motor. Only real issue I've had it getting hold of spares as Jeep gets older (engine no problem), even had to order handbrake parts from the Rock Auto in the US. Mind you, delivery was amazingly rapid.
