I’m going to replace all plugs - have the following reference numbers for IRD - do you happen to know the part number for the differential filler plug? IRD filler plug TRL100060 IRD filler washer TFY101060 IRD drain plug TAS100000 IRD drain washer TFY101070 Many thanks, Anthony

Heya, What flat socket spec/supplier did you use? Currently stuck trying to get my filler plug off. Thanks, Anthony

Thanks V6, would hitting the nut not damage the IRD casing/casting like breaking an Easter egg ?

Thanks Jedi, I really like this idea, so simple! Duly noted right after don’t attempt ever to open drain nut until you open filler nut! I actually drained the fluid to check if IRD was gone so now that it’s drained I’m in dry dock until I get the filler nut open. I’ve ordered an impact wrench...

Yeh I didn’t quite realise how badly stuck a bolt could be, it’s rated at 35 Nm but seems like 350!!!!! Only bolt I’ve come across that don’t budge. The bolt is in good condition as I’ve been careful only to use 6 side socket, problem is there is very little room to get any kinda leverage to...

Cool. Thanks A

I like to keep the undercarriage clean after beach or mud trips, just makes the bolts slightly more accessible :-) mind you the filler bolt for IRD is the most stubborn I’ve encountered yet!

Hi, Finding it hard to remove the filler nut, is a hex spanner with hammer the way? Hopefully the bearings are the underlying problem - just to be sure - could the pinions or diff be cause of problem (clanking / grinding metal sound) and is there a reliable way to check before refitting? Best...

Hi folks, Just drained oil from IRD, it’s a consistent brown colour - so looks good? Will halfords brand be OK for replacing? Very hard to get filler nut off (still working on it!). I’ll proceed to replace VCU and two Bearings and hopefull report back all good in couple weeks! Thanks again...

Thanks folks, I removed the prop shaft today (front bolts are 10 torx and 13 hex, back 12 torx 17 hex, I just used torx to hold bolt bolt in place as I removed nuts using spanners). Just back from a spin around the block and not a sound at all, taking hard corners, roundabouts, lock reverse...

Thanks G, I’m taking the prop off today - don’t have torx sockets - what size is needed? Thanks allot, Anthony

Thanks folks, Bell Engineering responded to my same query with photo and said it won’t be the VCU but most likely the Bearings. Thanks Jedi, Certainly worth a try - are they the large curved washer things on each bearing facing toward the VCU ? Should it be Grease or DW40? Best, Anthony

Thanks G, When driving around the block today the sound is frequent, like grinding / screeching metal, and when turning especially full lock turns a loud ‘clicking’ or ‘clunking’ sound. I’ve checked: 1. All tyres are same make same pressure; one rear tyer is new the other about a year old...

Hey all, My 2004 TD4 80k miles is beginning to require allot of maintenance as expected. I just replaced differential mounts today hoping they were cause of unusual screeching sounds when driving. Alas not so although the front mount was broken and needed replacing (thanks to this site for...

Hi all, Does anyone know how to remove the internal panels, side and roof, to the hard top for freelander td4? I noticed one of the internal back pillars (next to trail window) was not aligned with the ceiling trim, so tired to align but only made it worse. I then tapped at the other pillar...

I'm looking to replace M7 flanged nuts to engine manifold, anyone know a good online site ? Cheers, A

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Yes I should have only taken off the bolt but I tried undoing the thread upstands also. I need to remove these bolts now with easy out or something similar and then replace and return injector to rght position snug in the engine manifold Cheers, A

Thanks folks, much appreciated ! I changed it over today, left engine hot, old one came out easy, unfortunately when I removed the two torex bolts that raise the injector clamp, they both broke in the wrench :-( I replaced the injector but since the now broken torex bolts were already raised...

Hi folks, I need to remove injector number 1, located at left end of fuel rail looking into engine (next to maf sensor). Do I need to remove the entire manifold to get to the high pressure fuel pipes which connect to side of injector? The Haynes manual shows image with the steel fuel pipe...

Hi hd, I've ordered some Countralub 770, is it just a matter of applying a small amount (pea size) to each sensor connection block to all main components ...low and high pressure sensor connectors, all injector sensor connectors, and all earth points...where are the earth points? Also where is...
