Oh well, you win some, you lose some I guess. I lost. Both gearbox oil cooler threads stripped off whilst undoing the pipes. Anyone know a cheap place to get a diesel auto wheel arch oil cooler ? Are the non-genuine parts oil coolers any good, or is it worth the extra to go genuine ? Ta.

Eh ? Brim to brim is exactly that. No P38 fuel senders involved. Fill your tank to the brim i.e. 1st click at your local garage. Reset your trip counter (mileage). Now drive as normal, go about your business, until it's time to fill up again. Go back to the same garage, ideally same pump...

Glad it went well. I just received my pipes in the post yesterday from 4x4landroverparts.co.uk They were £34.84 for one and £37.69 for the other. Will go and spray penetrating fluid on there now then ready for the job tomorrow. Hopefully mine will come of as well as yours did !

Get in touch with customer services at Land Rover. I'm sure they'd be interested to know if one of their dealers is taking the pi55. It's those sort of dealers that put people off going to main dealers. Good news for the independant dealers though !

Hiya, I've had my 2001 Diesel auto for about a month now. Worked out my mpg brim to brim as message centre reading is way out. I'm getting around 21 / 22 mpg. Managed to squeeze an extra one mpg after changing oil, oil filter, air filter, and running some Redex injector cleaner for a tank...

Hi, In the fuse box on the side of the drivers seat, check fuse number 1 (top left I think). It's a 10amp and has a picture of the speedo dial on the label on the lid for it. I blew that fuse last week and it caused the rpm and speedo to read zero and the fuel gauge and temp gauge to jump...

Hiya, yep I posted that a few days ago. Bizarrely though the post that I was replying to was from the same person as this one - have you still got issues Hendoaaron ?

Hi, How easy was it to change the pipes (aside from the thread issues) ? Do they come out and new ones feed in ok or do you have to remove other surrounding pipes i.e. PAS to get them through ? Got a leak from mine and planning to change them in the next few weeks as I also want to renew the...

Hi, You said that the rad is new. The diesel rad is a twin pass i.e. coolant enters at the top, goes down to the bottom, across and then up the other side and out at the top (imagine a "U" shape). In order for it to do this there is a plastic baffle inside the radiator top plastic tank...

Hi, i've had my DHSE for a couple of weeks now and was concerned when I calculated my mpg at 22.5 for round town / a-road journeys. From the replies I got to my post it sounds like thats what others get from theirs too. Was hoping for 25, but hey-ho it's worth it :)

Thanks for the input all. Well.... thankk fook for that, I checked the fuses and fuse number 1 (10amp) had blown (well called, Datatek). Have replaced it and vcerything is now working again - yey ! How weird though, I had no speedo, no rpm, no message display (flickering on and off), every...

Well it was all going so well for me and my 2001 DHSE. But I had to mess with it, and it's bitten me. I had a little play trying to get my Sony headunit to work with it using autoleads connections into the harness as I thought with pre-amp outputs on my head unit it might just work. But I just...

Thanks all, sounds like mine isn't too far away from what opthers are getting then. Will deffo check the leak off pipes though just in case, thanks Datatek. :)

Thanks for the info. I think it's strange that the car mpg reading is so far out as well. Will double check with the next tank full. I did consider adding an injector cleaner. Wasn't sure which one to go for though, or whether to just fill up with a tank of BP Ultimate diesel - or both (maybe...

Hi all, I've had my 2001 DHSE for about two weeks now and love it. I was quite impressed that the message display told me i've been running at 26.4 mpg, not too bad I thought. Anyway over the last tank full I went for the more acurate brim to brim method and calculated the mpg. The reality...

Mine tends to be just shy of 12 o'c, probably about 11.30 :)

Hi, I've got to say that my 2001 DHSE is also a pretty hard drive. It does seem to crash in and out of potholes etc. I've only had it two weeks now, but was expecting the ride to be more refined from air susp. I used to drive a few of these 10 years ago when they were new and i'm sure it was a...

Thanks all. As much as I hate it when cars break down, i've got to admit that finding the fault and putting it right is something I enjoy. Looks like i've bought the right car for that.... ;)

Hello all, Just a quick intro, i've been a viewer and user of the Freelander board for a while as I had a TD4. But I decided it was time to take the plunge so I sold it. Bought a 2001 DHSE last week :D So far all is good and it's the best car that i've owned, but hey it's early days and it's...

Hi, How did you get on with wiring up your head unit ? I'm dabbling with mine at the moment. I have the little green connector, but it is a blank just filling in the hole, it has no wires in it. Mine is a 2001 DHSE and thus has the DSP amp same as yours. The only difference other than yours...
