Id love to just no where to keep it and the wife would have a blue fit if I dismantled it in front of the house. Th e 2005 freelander we now have has advisories from its test which i would think would fail it this time (o/s and ns front brake pipes and N/s/r and o/s/r brake pipes Would you...

Hi everyone the o/s front n/s front and o/s/r andn/s/r brake pipes were flagged up last mot and the guy has not done them could anyone give me a rough idea of the cost?

Well the saga has ended WE have managed to get a 5 door freelander TD4 2005 for 900 the tyres on the broken one are worth £400 so they will go on the new one and scrap value is £325 after i have swapped bits around Final quote for the clutch by an Andover garage was 1500

Right we have found one with clutch etc done beginning of the year only other faults are a window regulator no ariel. and its a five door td4 2004 runs great so we can use some spares perhaps from the 3 door and then we can sell our vitara with new canvas and mot to recoup some off the losses...

SO Im on 165000 miles would it be wise to add one to the job if I have to do clutch etc?

Sorry andy forgive my stupidity What is a dual mass fly wheel? and why would I need to change it??

Not as bad as I think Mine charges £40 £50 per hour so say £200 to May be a max £300 ish pounds or is this way off?

I bought a LUK Master cylinder If you pump peddle a bit Then its fine but then fades was hoping to do another bleed today but weather will be against me I think. Would you have a realistic idea as to the cost of a clutch and slave cylinder replacement at all?

Thanks Nodge I intend to get some more fluid to put another litre through to see if Anymore air is in the system The old master cylinder fluid was Black but the fluid coming through is the right colour but slightly misty
