I received my new tensioner and a Britpart PQS100851 belt this morning. The belt being the correct one listed by the merchant for an L-series with air con. When it arrived I checked the belt markings and noticed immediately the old one was a 6PK1463 whilst the new one 6PK1462. Changed the...

Took the undertray frame off this morning and re-riveted the undertray to the frame. Lucky I hadn't damaged the plastic that you'd notice. Bloody muppet not seeing how it came off! Decided to leave it as standard rather than mod it. Got a new serpentine belt tensioner and belt coming on...

I reckon my P-gasket might be buggered again too. Having got my nose up close with hoses and alternator wiring out the way it looks a bit minging on top. I had a new water pump when it was last done about 3 or 4 years ago but it was just a QH or similar aftermarket from a local factor...

:doh::doh::doh::doh: Fortunately I enjoy using my pop riveter:rolleyes: Will muller it back together tomorrow. :doh::doh::doh::doh:

I know there have been many threads regarding the plastic engine undertray, so apologies for this thread. After a bitch of a time getting mine off, easily removing 2 rear bolts and drilling 2 rivets each side but eventually mullering the front 4 rivets off by levering with a screwdriver, I feel...

Cheers. Before doing the thermostat housing gasket I'll bleed it through again and stick a latex glove on my expansion tank with an elastic band (don't have any condoms). No doubt it'll stick two fingers up at me!

Seconded, crap - crap - crap:eek: How many hours for a mechanic to change the head gasket?

I just picked up a thermostat housing gasket today from my local LR dealer - ERR3490. Will try and find time to attack this tomorrow or Wednesday. If that doesn't work then back to square one. As the leak is the other end of the p-gasket to the waterway I'm not too convinced that's to blame...

My D1 has been pretty reliable all things considered although having driven LR's all my driving life including a Series IIa 88" a Series III 109" and a 110 Defender before the Disco, I know the tribulations as well as the joys. My Dad also had a P38 before he died. The D1 has done 95k miles...

Have been looking around the net at what's available for about £8k. Seems to be quite a choice but I know very little about TD5 D2's. I'm ploughing through all the info I can find but any advice as to the best bang for buck appreciated. Are ACE and/or SLS worth having or better avoided? Would...

I removed the fan and tensioner and just dropped the belt down. This is just how the engine looks whilst investigating the area of the leak. 1997 Radiator approx 3 to 4 years Don't run it without fan.

Hi all again, had some fraught times recently and the Disco has been parked up till now. The leak, to the best I can see, plus a little advice locally, might be coming from the bottom of the thermostat housing. To re-cap when I'd been for a run she lost the majority of coolant and the top...

I friend who was LR trained and worked for a main dealer did it for me. He's too ill to do anything for me now. Will have a go with a mirror later on like you suggest.

I have a 97 300 tdi with a coolant leak, I've tried everything to find the leak but can only isolate it roughly. When standing level and once the engine is hot there is a constant dribble down the front nearside of the block (under the alternator). However, if at this point I squeeze the top...

Definitely the air con button......... I'll get the gas checked ala Slob and see if that's the problem. Cheers

Hi All, The other half has got a year 2000 Xdi and it's started to make a hissing sound from the pollen filter box. The hissing literally starts and stops as quick as I press the air con button. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Do I need to completely remove this box to change the pollen...

Just registered to post a Freelander question, thought I'd say Hi in here though. Looks a great forum. Cheers
