TD4, 03, as above Is this likely to be clutch or something else.? PITA fix or relatively simple. Clutch is not easy I know, just hoping that it is something else. Fact that pumping it gets it into gear I'm hoping is servo or fluid. thanks

Its all to do with the right hill and a good tail wind...

It might be doable in the ECU. (Ie mapped/ programmed), I know that Imported Japanese domestic market cars have there ECU speed limited, (toyotas etc) as that is a requirement in Japan, But its a silly 115mph or something like that ffs....whats the point at that speed.... Might we worth doing a...

Somehtin said to me once by an Insurance engineer Put a sharp spike on the centre of the steering wheel about 6" long. :eek: He recons all accident would stop, and we wouldn't need speed limits. I recon everyone would just take up walking.:rolleyes::D

:confused:Wish I'd never asked!!!

Doing s bit of research on internet i came across this article about upgrading the ird. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.quaife.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/LRO-Sept-2018.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi1g9n-3o3gAhX9ThUIHZ44DD0QFjAaegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw3ZlDx8muvc6n33-519nCu9...

Thanks again nodge. How can you tell if you have the newer ird. And when getting parts how do you know they will be for the newer ird?. And an L series engines lrd will it fit a td4 ird?. Theres one on the car obviously, but lack of vcu and drives makes it likely ird is fubar in some way. If im...

Have been looking at different parts for rebuilding an IRD. Worked on gearbox rebuilds for older cars, so bit of experiance. Im aware of the petrol engines, l series and then TD4 etc. Are there different IRD and if so how can you tell. The ratio issue that landrover sorted 2001, can that be...

Thanks for that. Another to do on the list.

But would that be with tyres adjusted for lower profile?. I like a bit of meat on my tyres. 18 with standard profile tyres be okay and how do the 18's affect drive and handling. Do you lose anything. In performance or gain?.

Going back to this. If IRD id crrently maling no noises or issues and drive shafts in place and all seems to be working okay. Is that an indicator that ird is reasonably okay?. VCU might have an issue when i test it, but as long as ird is okay, i can feal with vcu easily enough.

From what i can read on jer and elsewhere , as some time the FL 1 front disks/brake system chamged to vented disks. When was this and was it just disks, or what other items changed. Ive similar on my 89 celica gt. They changed em about 91.That meant new larger disks and callipers to suit, but...

I'm about the fit new speakers to front doors of 03 5 Door the existing cables and Plugs dont distinguish which is Negative and which is positive cable at speaker can any one advise?

Be the same work to get at the damn thing :mad:, as just replace it. going to breakers anyway to pick up a few other bits and bobs, so for a few quid, might as well pick up a lock actuator (waiting for someone to correct the newbie description :rolleyes:)

Not sure if that is what they are called, but I'm calling them that The bit that makes the doors lock or unlock when you use the fob, or key in drivers door. (passanger front specifically) Are they coded to the fob, or can they be replica by one from a breakers. Need to change mine as it wont...

thanks to all, particularity Nodge68, this has been very helpful. Problem with internet, you can get so many bits of information on one issue, and no two are the same, and some area actually contradictory. Groups like this, where specific knowledge is concentrated, and tested(flamed) over...

Im looking at a wheel nut socket on a 900mm breaker bar. Need to figure out the torque equalent for 5kg at 4ft to what it should be at 3ft. (Heavier). But if vcu was thickening up would mean its under pressire on a road drive.and that should reflect as it heating up. Its supposed to heat up...

Not yet. But VCU present, driving without any knocks, bangs or grinding. No resistance or problems in full lock either going forward or in reverse. No sign of excess heating up of VCU after long road journey. None of the signs that the VCU has a problem. In snow toda, car drove withou any...

So, a TD4 3 door and 5 Door would have same Drives shafts

Understood, but ive read that specifically the fl had a ratio issue that with slightly mismatched tyres, you could totally knacker vcu, ird, diff. And also read that lr did something to reduce /remove this in later models. So was wondering specifically for fl was this correct and if fixed in...
