Hi thanks for your response that is indeed the little chap. Forgive me if this is a dumb question but what does it do? I realise it’s an earth but can you explain to me what it does, I have tried to avoid doing anything electrical since trying to rewire British motorcycles when I was a lad and...

Puzzled about a wire...

Hi, I have looked but cannot find a previous answer to this. On my 06 plate TD4 FL there is a single wire attached to the fuel filter (the filter and pump are behind the rear wheel-that one) I have just changed the filter and have a suspicion the wire has not been connected for a while. I am...

Unplug the HP fuel rail connection, if it’s dirty or there’s any moisture fouling the connection really dry it out and clean it, then smear a thin bit of silicon grease on the sides of the plug so it is a moisture tight seal and plug it back together. Mines been ok for 2 years since I did it...

The worst mod is the official bizarre Freelander body kit. What is that all about? I have got a nudge bar, light guards front and back; LandroverFreelander spotlight kit (looks like Hurricane machine guns ha don’t care) Muddy Mods nice and small silencer; rock sliders; towbar and steps mounted...

I had the same problem. You may not like this. I unplugged the high pressure fuel rail sensor and noticed that although the plug is designed and supposed to be a moisture tight seal, it was a little damp. I cleaned it and made sure it was very dry because the problem was the ingress of moisture...

Hi, to clarify is this the guard that fixes to the rear door with a fixing kit covering the rear window or is it the guard that sits in the load space against the rear seats and is from the load space floor to the cabin roof and the total width of the cabin? Many thanks, Phil

Hi, it’s looking good indeed. Today I have fitted the soft top and stored away the hard top safely on my 3 door HSE. It is so good to have the top down on a beautiful sunny day; I love my Hippo! Also; passed MOT last week with 1 advisory, drop link rubber worn or something. Going to change the...

Or, maybe I need 1 less wife.....I cannot believe I wrote that haha she will kill me. Not really dearest love of my life, I was only joking honest. Please forgive you know I love you......

L I did think that it was nice that I remembered the same things ha. I do not think I had the same issues of things rubbing on my TD4 engine. Not yet anyway but I have not been allowed to use the car much lately. Wife using the FL to get to work. Selfish is what I say. Ok, maybe working from...

Just looked back on this thread and I said exactly the same stuff before haha. Probably will again too haha. Old git me.

I think I used 4mm checkplate because I have very limited metal fabrication experience and must have been lucky because still ok. But like you it said, mine payed for itself immediately on Salisbury Plain on some very deeply rutted tracks that I was simply guard sledging down. I have never made...

Thanks mate, I think I have seen dodgy Chinese ones somewhere suitably cheap but will undoubtedly reflect the cost by being pants Will keep an eye out, they do look like an easy comfy adjustment. Take it easy dude

Hi, I put one on mine last May. Can’t say a huge difference in performance noticed, the tone is better but again don’t expect it to sound like a V8. The best thing is that it is so much slimmer that I have not had to make the guard I was contemplating making for the back box as it hang down so...

Hi, looking good. Can I ask from where you sourced the useful armrest thing and how much? I have been meaning to do it for ages.

Yeah, hope the business goes well. Your FL is looking good; like the wheels. Just taken soft top off mine and put on hard top as not looking very summery anymore! Had it on since May though so pleased with that. Considering making a rear silencer guard out of chequer plate. Not sure worth doing...

I nearly learnt the really hard way that driving off road is yet another skill I wasn't born with and surprisingly enough one has to learn how not to trash the car or get stuck or lose the exhaust whilst exploring the countryside haha. I really wish I would get some common sense before I am...

Yeah I am with you there Alibro it has been the only car I have been truly interested in working on and improving having always been more into bikes. And a great learning curve with a lot of help here. And likewise Rob; it's got more off road ability than I have right now which I discovered...

I reckon you will have fun I sure have. I know that you can get lift kits etc but my FL spends far more time on the road driven by my beloved (she reads this sometimes) than off road abused by me. So I figure until such times I can have my own off road vehicle ( or tank) I will try to reach a...
