sooooooo... thought id have a look at the pcv filter this morning to see if it had the paper filter or the updated cyclone type, turns out its the cyclone type so saves me 30 quid happy days! anyway i got carried away and decided the inlet manifold and egr were coming off, egr wasnt as bad as i...

thats fair enough then, ill leave them alone. is there any reason not to use retreads or is just a preference thing?

looking to get a set of tyres for the freelander very soon and come across these on ebay, just wondered what other peoples opinions are price seems very reasonable...

glad to hear its running better mate, i have just ordered a new thermostat to put in mine, hopefully will have similar results although i dont think itll cure the problem. i think i may have an injector on its way as it now makes a clattering noise when its cold when revved, then when left to...

how do you plan on making the brakes work? dont forget if its heavier than 750kg it must be fitted with brakes. also if its lighter than 750kg but it has brakes they must work. not sure on all the electrical gubbins. looks like a decent project though. all the best

have you got a link to the stat you fitted mate?

watching this thread with great interest mate. i shall be changing out my thermostat as soon as i get time. hopefully itll atleast make it slightly better.

hmmm, interesting, mind boggling stuff. i may just change the stat out of curiosity. you said you fitted one in the top hose, where can i get one of them and any tips on fitting it with feeling inclined to set it alight

sounds like its giving you a right headache mate, ive given up on mine for the time being just driving it. how far on the temp gauge was it reading before fitting the new thermostat? mine only reaches about a quarter way up unless im towing. you say it ran fine on the test drive, maybe its the...

ok, so the wiper motor had decide to make devil noises, so when it stops raining for longer than 20 mins ill get the linkage and motor off, clean it all and give it some oiling. hopefully, itll shut up after that.

heard good things about them compared to the hawkeye? not sure wether i want one that will read other makes of cars as well or one that will just read landrovers

any suggestions on what diagnostic tool to get, thinking of getting for my self...ill just keep an eye on the pump for now and see if it gets any worse till ive checked all the pipe work over again.

fair enough, ill get that pipe changed as soon as possible, see what difference it makes. it would be nice if its something as simple as that.

could it be that thats causing the problems? ill have to check its definitely that, when i get a chance ill get the wheel arch cover off and have a listen. i know its due a fuel filter anyway and ive got one here to be fitted so ill replace that same time.

also, as i posted in my other thread, the low pressure pump has been making a strange noise just after its started for about 15 seconds, could it be that thats causing the problems?

its getting quite annoying, just been out for a short drive (around 3 miles) and it seemed fine until i got back to the house, then when left to idle it has a very slight misfire, when pressing the throttle very lightly it gets worse up to about 1250rpm then stops. once its held at 2k rpm the...

small pipe will be replaced as soon as i can get some. it hasnt quite worn through yet but its not far off. the lp pump will make its usual noise whilst priming but then continues to make violent screechy kind of noises for about 15-20 seconds then goes away.

haha yes mate, i put it in here first and thought id be better off starting a new thread, although i just copied and pasted the last post haha. whisky sounds good

hmmm...bad things are happening last 2 days. seems to have developed a misfire at idle speed up to about 1500rpm if you press the throttle VERY lightly when in neutral. the injectors that were fitted in november arent original bosch ones and are under warranty so maybe ill see if i can change...
