Cheers, great information

Hi Right, currently tidying up my project FL1 commercial (53 plate). It was on 15" steel wheels and I wanted something a bit cooler so bought these 6 spokes today (size 7Jx17CH or GH? - see pic) from a slightly later FL1. I read they'd fit, hope I'm right. Question ... I'm about to reinstate...

Slight hot start issue. Have read it could be cam position sensor or potentially the HP fuel pump, maybe even injectors. I'm capable of doing leak back testsor doing whatever work needs doing but I want to try and get a heads up from diagnostics to decide where the issue is. Plus, its a new car...

Hi Got a hot starting issue developing in a Freelander 1 2003 TD4. I'd like to eliminate a few things with a diagnostic tool if possible. Feel like I could check the cam pos sensor and get some fuel pressure readings from the right tool which might help me determine if the HP pump is at fault...

Sorted! Really appreciate the advice and next level explanation, pictures, part numbers etc, class mate, thank you! John

Ok found the time to do the job, easy with your excellent instructions, thank you. That Y piece had been 'siliconed' to the block presumably to try and stop the leak. Cleaned it all up and refitted the replacement. It still leaks!!! However, I have now got a video of it. It was a pretty 'loose'...

ahhh ... so there's another bit of plastic which fits to the hose (currently still on the radiator hose in the car) then the two bits clip together and retain with a clip ... right? That makes more sense. Won't have a chance to look until next weekend now but will be happy to get it sorted...

Yeah it does ... it looks different though. I mean I haven't had a chance to take it all apart yet but why does that replacement water connector (I have just got the same part) have a shamfer and no lip? I mean, i'm looking at it thinking is a jubilee clip really going to hold the hose on that...

Well, the original 3 door passed its MOT! Result, will shortly be selling it I think. In the meantime, Rimmers are posting me those parts to tackle the water leak on the commerical along with 2 new rear brake drums / shoes etc. No sealing gasket in stock for that Y piece so will bea waiting 2 or...

That's my weekend sorted then! cheers fellas! ;) Fingers crossed ... and off we go ...

Mate that is amazing, thanks for taking the time to do that, much appreciated! Literally now ordering the parts as we speak! ... so that water leak is on a cheap Commercial that I bought a few weeks back needing a driveshaft (came out in pieces with very little left of the inner joint after a...

Amazing cheers. Off to study Haynes manual now. Will I need any other replacement gaskets? Cheers

Did it pass the MOT? ...

Cheers Gel appreciate that :) Funnily enough thinking about my next project I was on ebay / facebook market place last night looking for an old Vespa with ideas on a Quadrophenia replica in mind. They are pricey though and a 1964 Li also rare. Might have to think again. Was also thinking about...

Cheers mate. Yeah mainly metal sculpture but some other fix it vids too. Always love a good project! Appreciate the comment / sub, cheers

Try not to be too harsh, you guys are experts ... I'm just making it up as I go along ;)

Cheers!

Update: She's booked in for MOT friday ... underside had the lanoguard treatment, seems a pretty impressive product but time will tell ... pretty sure I've fixed or replaced everything that might be an issue ... everything except the interior overhead light works (fuse ok, bulb looks good...

Apologies this is a 7 min chunk of a much longer video about the whole project .. so alot of me talking shi*! Might be interesting / useful for someone though.

Door's fixed! Real simple too and free ... which is great. Was a broken wire orange / black. Twisted the ends together, flashed across the microswitch, window dropped, door unlocked! Result! Some sharp edges in that boot door though, found the insulation of a few other wires that were damaged...
