I'm out of the loop regarding car MOTs these days but i know there are some stupid stipulations in there. There may also be differences between light commercial and private passenger cars....? I don't remember. Either way, if i take it to my usual guy and he decides to be an arse about it i'll...

So i bought my little landy knowing full well she was going to test me. I hadn't expected her to test my skills and my patience (& wallet) quite this much though. Good job I'm completely smitten or i'd have burned her sacrificially! She very seldom produces any power. She starts fine, idles...

Erm.... I'll be honest, i don't remember the state of the interior lights at the time. If it's a dodgy door switch i don't mind, at least they're easily replaced. The tailgate window has been fine since.... I've been checking it every time i take her out - for better or worse, haha!

Nope, i was sat in the driver's seat with all the doors closed, just doing a final check. All the wires that run through the rear door shut into the boot were nipped/worn through, so i've taped them up and made sure they have enough slack. I think something either shorted or broke while i was...

That wouldn't surprise me, haha! On a positive note, the newly reconfigured tail-lights are fantastic! This layout just makes so much more sense! I've just been to my local motor factors and bought a rear wiper blade and a not unattractive young lady asked me how i'd done it! Between that and...

The back window is up! As previously mentioned, i haven't touched any of the wiring that operates the tailgate window, i only altered the light wiring. I went out to the Freelander this morning, started at the window motor and gently wiggled the wires all the way back to the relay. I then closed...

Tis a 5 door bud. Thanks anyway.

Cheers Mike, i'll let you know how i get on.

Hi all, I've just rewired my rear lights so the higher clusters now take cafe of the signals, sides and brake lights and the bumper clusters now show fogs and reverse lights. This way around makes more sense to me. While I was in the i must have dislodged something because now i can't get the...

I'm with you, never seen an injector behave like this. Every time it injects it hops up about 3mm, just far enough for the mixture to be forced out of the cylinder. It appears at first glance, to be a simple case of improper installation. I triple checked all bolts/nuts were torqued down...

Cheers Joe. I've removed all four injectors - again, replaced copper sealing washers - again, refitted injectors/clamps etc and torqued it all down - again. One injector is still jumping. The only positive being that the high pressure air/fuel mix seems to be exiting past the injector and out...

Good day to you all! I hope it's as sunny where you are as it is in my little slice of Suffolk! I've just installed a new turbo cartridge and given the inlets and manifolds a bit of a de-coke. I put her back together with new gaskets/seals/washers throughout. I made sure to replace the...

Good thinking.... Haha.

Is it worth replacing that solenoid then? I've replaced all the others haha!

By 'the small turbo filter' do you mean the little clear plastic one which just hangs in there all on it's own?

Hi, I'm Craig and I have a problem. Whenever I try to carry out even the most basic of tasks I end up spending all day under the bonnet. This morning I dropped the engine oil out and replaced the oil filter. While I was replacing the breather on the cam cover I realised that there was an...

Sorted the head unit issue!

That's pretty impressive! I'll look into that!

Gosh darn it! While i'm at it.... Am i right in thinking that the speakers are all 5.25" jobbies? Tar.

I recently had my clutch done and the battery was disconnected for a while. I've trawled the history file and can't find a radio code anywhere. I think I've tried all the stupidly obvious codes but sadly, i'm running out of ideas. In the olden days i'd have put it in the freezer for a few days...
