Took my FL1 Pre-Facelift Td4 to a trusted garage to sort a knocking on drivers side engine. I thought it was crankshaft pulley or tensioners but it was the air con compressor. He said he has disconnected it and he took the newly fitted belt off. I have 3 questions I need help with: 1. I’m not...

Thank you. I will check them all.

I have always wanted a Land Rover and now I have my beautiful Td4 pre-facelift. Since owning I have wanted to do work on her myself. I need some help. When I’m driving, more at slower speeds but not always slow, when I turn and go over a bump it knocks. I have replaced the drop links and today...

Does it make a difference if I say that it is a lot worse at starting after a run and the engine is hot.

I have both on order and will be doing wishbone

True. I have clonk when going over bumps especially whilst turning and so far I’m renewing bits of suspension constantly chasing it.

Just been looking now. I’ve seen injectors for over £200 each. Is their a budget brand you would recommend or are they garbage.

Incredibly helpful thank you very much. It must be the glow plugs that I have heard of sheering before coming out.

That sounds good. I was under the assumption that you can get them stuck in and they snap and cause a world of hurt.

Where do you squirt the easy start?

It’s my daily drive. I’m comfortable with smaller jobs but I’ve heard injectors can be hard.

My Freelander 1 pre-facelift Td4 takes longer than normal to start. It has never failed to start but it may take 6-7 or more turn overs (if that’s a thing) before it fires up. There is no smoke when it does and again it has never failed to start. My question is, what could be causing this and...

That’s a real shame. I find that with everything mate. Everyone is so far away from me always.

I’m between Llanidloes and Rhayader

Shame. I have been looking but theirs nothing by me.

Yes I think it is. I fear that I will end up doing g that up and the Mrs will go off her head at me for getting another one.

I definitely will do. The car is booked in on the 15th July so I will know then.

I live very rural and am trying to do all my own mechanical work. The car is currently our only one and we’re not rich so I’m looking at ways of being able to repair quickly and cheaply (within reason). I have started to gather a collection of tools and consumables but just wondered if it was...

I was thinking of gathering a small selection (or larger if needed) of spare parts new or second hand to keep in the garage ready for use. I have two questions: 1. Is it worth doing this? I know I could go down the rabbit hole and end up with a second whole car sitting on shelves but are their...

Thank you. I will have to get an opinion from a mechanic as I am to new to diagnosing and so forth to know. It has been suggested that it may be one of the two tensioners so I will have to wait and get a report.
