That's brilliant! Thank you very much!

I wish I had a manual! Another thing I need to sort. I'll have a look on fleabay for a book pack.

The rust thing I'll be tearing in to come spring as I have nowhere dry to paint right now. The sills are OK at present, I'll keep an eye on them though. I think I'll whip the mirrors off and check the polarity of the plugs at some point. Probably something simple. Also. I want to get the auto...

Hi all, haven't been on here for a few years as I went Japanese for a bit (GV2).... I apologise for this heresy. Yesterday I took delivery of a 2006, FL2 3.2 petrol. I LOVE IT! However.... I need to so something about the rust beginning to appear around the rear arches, where the doors shut. I...

All sorted now, thanks for the input. I just took everything apart, made sure it was all good and refitted it.... Guess something wasn't seated quite right somewhere.

She's not running as yet. I'll stick a tray under the sump and try to get her running again tomorrow. Is there a special tool required to remove the pump?

My 2003 TD4 was smoking like hell on start up but cleared up as engine temp increased. I knew the injectors needed doing so i whipped them out and stuck a set of freshly reconditioned items in. While i was in there i replaced a weeping cam-cover seal, de-coked the ports and thoroughly de-greased...

*Sighs That is outstanding news! You've just made my day! Many thanks.

But surely once the stat opens the rad will come up to temperature....? Don't get me wrong, if this is normal for a Freelander i'll be over the freakin moon haha! I just thought it was a little strange is all.... Cheers.

She's a TD4, the gauge reads normal - in the middle and yes, the heater gets hot. It's weird. I did an 80 mile round trip today, on muddy B-roads. She used no water. When I got back the rad was still cold but top hose was hot and bottom hose was warm.

Right. To add to my list of Freelander jobs, my cooling system is now playing silly beggers. The temperature gauge reads as normal, the top radiator hose gets hot as does the coolant in the reservoir but the bottom hose remains cold. The radiator doesn't heat up either. Is the thermostat stuck...

Never mind..... turns out there's more than one plug numbered through the 20s. Replacing the harness did sweet FA though.

So, I've drilled a hole for the little rubber grommet and removed the plugs from their connector blocks. I just want to triple check the pin numbers before i go any further.... I've done a little research and the numbers 20, 33 & 35 seem to come up most often. Are these the correct pins for...

Haha, never were truer words spoken! I've been mocked for removing the tow-bar! "It's a Landrover! It's meant to have a tow-bar!" I have no intention of towing anything. She's got enough space in the back for all the junk i could ever wish to carry. The thing about having a tow-bar is that...

I think i may have already replaced the MAP sensor.... I have all the old parts in a box so i'll have a rummage and see if there's a MAP sensor in there. The low pressure fuel pump is quite loud. I was listening to it the other day when i replaced the fuel filter and thinking that maybe it'd be...

I see. I fully understand why they'd ban those horrible cheap kits that blind everyone and have no discernible beam pattern. I keep the original H4s in my glove box so i can simply unplug the wiring, remove the HID bulb/reflector/solenoid assembly from the headlamp and refit the H4s. I keep the...

I'll bite the bullet and go see my bud with the Snap-On gameboy as soon as i've done the vacuum pipes. Thanks for the advice :)

I had a 2009 Mini with HIDs from the factory. I'm pretty sure it was the Police's Volvos that had the first HIDs in Britain too. Maybe you're thinking of the crummy chinese kits they sell on eBay? The HIDs I've fitted have always made a marked improvement. I've also removed some ****ty, cheap...

At the risk of being laughed at.... No, i have yet to plug her in and see what's occurring. I don't have a diagnostic gameboy thing, a friend of mine does but he warned me off buying a freelander originally so i'm loathe to go and see him :D
