i replaced the colant on my missus' 206hdi a while back ( i was slightly greener then) and she was bannging down the road 1/2 hour into her day when 'bleep bleep danger will robinson'. It had dropped enough to throw a wobbly even though I had bled it though and run it for a good 20 mins. Air is...

at my work they brought in eco mode where they shut down one/two engines depending on gps locations (for hills ect) and level of engine demand (varying passenger levels) the central computer shuts the engines down and they restart when needs warrant it (in theory). In reality engines shutdown...

use a socket to drive the jubilee clips instead of a screwdriver Billy g

I like the look of the bars, but i need a surface that my wife wont mind standing on. That was what i liked about the ones in the link above. I think that i'm gonna have to go for gen landy ones. Billy g

Replaced them. I'm gonna rip one of them apart to see if i can overhaul it somehow. It is not as if it is not working, it will just be an internal seal or something. If i manage it, i shall post on here with a procedure so we can all save a few pennies. Billy g

the tester is just being a tw@t! Secconded

Come on! :D i'm not sure the egr bypass adds anything, let alone ten horses. it just stops you killing your poor little hippo. however, i do all of the above and would reccomend to anyone.:)

or convieniently placed for roof box access... The web site got back tobme and said that the fixing is different- think that chaser was on the money. incidently, how are the tear drop type for standing on to get to a roof box?

NOw i'm up n running again i'm after a set of side steps as part of operation "Baby on the way". I saw these Black 3 inch side bars for the Freelander but it says for 5 door. Was wondering if anyone knows why they wont go on a 3 door (I was under the impression that they were the same...

first go, no smoke. I just hope that i get a bit of respite now. Billy g

I also whipped out the injectors today. I say whipped out because they came out a piece of the proverbial after a night soakin in dubbya dee. I must admit, with the talk of siezing in the head i was a litle worried with 94 on the clock. Started up lovely (although it was still a bit warm) so...

All four leaked a bit in equal measures but only enough to half fill it. mine were defiately not equal My question is, is this expected and do the injectors leak a little when turned over? All of them let out a bit. the only way to be really sure is to let them leak off for a while into...

would the 75 give you lower viscosity from cold? might be a better option if you do lots of little trips. Billy G

It would be nice to know what he actually failed it for. You cant fail for having mods, surely?

If it was not seated correctly in the first place, you may have been getting extra air flow through the cover/extra noise. I would not have thought that the replacement part would cause any problems with restriction, but it not fitting over the end so you cant get the cover fitted back on- more...

Any tips for the afore-mentioned task? looks like I have two to change... Billy g

These are the results of my injector leak test. Number 4 was clearly the worst, but i was wondering if it was worth swapping out number 3 as well. I bodged the test kit together with some bits i got from work, but I was left wanting when it came to blocking the 'loose' ends. In ended up with...

A bloke i know bought a Rover 75 with a 1.8 petrol ( i think it is the K series). it was leaking from the water pump, he left it for a while till the pump drive sheared and it spat the belt all over the M18 and swiftly rodgered his head. New head, new hydraulic lifters, water pump...... I...

Not done mine yet, waiting for next service. I think about the fact that is not mentioned in Haynes, the only way you would find out is here or through landy dealers. Also, what about all those MOT/service centres cracking them out for a ton? do you reckon they have done the full service spec...

That is a nice mod- saves getting the backbox protecting bracket. I don't think that they are cheap, so £70 might well be. Plus- you cant hit what ain't there!
