No point in having a four by four if you cripple it into permanent 2wd. May as well buy a Ford Focus.

Mine started and ran fine with a snapped belt. Not recommended for long though as the aux belt drives the water pump on the td4.

Is it just me or is anyone else reading this thread and wondering how the fck changing the gearbox oil is going to help non-functioning clutch hydraulics?:rolleyes: Seriously....think about the sequence of events here..... -clutch pedal was heavy. -replaced master and slave - now cant engage...

AHHAHAhhahahahahaahahahahaha no.

Like I said, you need to check the transmission before throwing any money anywhere. Go out and look under it right now. Does it have a propshaft? On the underside you will see the exhaust and next to it a straight bit of tube, usually black, that comes out the back of the gearbox and runs down...

I fitted a Borg and Beck slave cylinder and it is complete dogsh1t. A few others on this forum have had problems with them too.

Sorry, but...... Its not dangerous. Its just sh1t. Its the buyers responsibility to verify the car is as described. If the seller deliberately mis-described the car you might have recourse, but proving this is practically impossible and always degenerates into a he said she said stalemate...

Well yes, one would assume he has checked the obvious first.

Dunno. The height of the engine plus anything you put under the engine. I would take a wild guess and say the bottom of the bumper was about the height of my nuts, and Im not a very tall person. I had the front up on axle stands as normal, undid everything, took the weight of the engine on my...

The subframe needs to come off and the ARB is fitted to the subframe. While its off renew the bushes or at the very least remove, grease and replace the bolts so its easy to change them in the future.

I did it without ramps, but you will need a proper engine hoist, axle stands and various blocks of wood. The Getrag box weighs a hell of a lot and there was no way I was going to be able to lift it in and out on my own. Lying under the car with a gearbox on my chest and bench-pressing it up...

Its easier to drop the whole engine, gearbox and IRD out the bottom in one unit. All the stuff that needs disconnected / removed to drop the gearbox alone is 95% of whats holding the whole engine in place, so ten more minutes work drops the whole lot out. The advantage is it is MUCH easier to...

Another vote for linseed oil.

*requires / wants 4wd car for snow *buys 4wd car and asks if it should be left in 2wd. I really do wonder about this forum sometimes.

check your RAC membership.

The captive nut will have broken off inside the box section. The subframe will need removed to get access. Personally, I would just drive it as is - if it doesnt rattle, then fine. If it does or works loose I would fix it.

Oh, if you have the silly roof rails you have to unbolt them first.

Undo the 4 clips and lift it off. :rolleyes:

Forget running a trigger wire and fit a voltage sensing relay. I have this Smartcom one.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTOR-HOME-SELF-SWITCHING-VOLTAGE-SENSING-SPLIT-CHARGE-RELAY-12V-30-AMP-/371368809769?hash=item56774e5529 which works nicely. Saves ****ing about running another wire. Fit a...

And another thing - do you know for absolute certain that this garage is trustworthy? Faced with a k-series freelander with cooling system problems an awful lot of garages will just automatically say "yep, head gasket will have gone - they all do that - design flaw blah blah blah...." and change...
