New battery in. What should be a five minute job was a swine because of the clamp bolt but it's done. Had to reset an SRS error but on the plus side. Gear changes are smooth as silk now.

Battery tested. It's duff. Just gone to get a new one and tried to fit it. That's not gone so well. I have the old favourite of the clamp bolt not coming out due to the captive nut spinning. Chuffing thing :rolleyes:

Wound tighter than a violin E-string this bloke is

It's a bit of an odd one as two or three weeks ago in the first instance the car had been fine then on a random occurance it did not turn over. No click or anything. Just dead. I looked at starter connections, including the signal connection (which was not overly secure) and after a wiggle it...

Had a local Land Rover group meetup today, followed by a little bit of light laning. That was all good apart from embarrasment before we even got going with the engine not turning over as we were about to set off. It appears I now have an internittent starting issue! It also wouldn't start again...

I'm just wondering people's thoughts... I'm contemplating a new thread. Now just humour me for a minute and hear me out. I'd love to have your thoughts on this idea as I think it would really help us all in complying with the OP's request. New thread title.. "Do NOT ignore this thread" I...

It's the weekend. Maximum ignore mode activated

For the benefit of all future readers it might be good if you shared the detail of that. It might make you come out of this thread less negatively

So after our conversation Andy I did alot of reading and looking around and my conclusion is the drilled and grooved disks will only benefit you if you're driving at high performance levels, and for typical Freelander type driving - on or off road - you're better off with the increased surfaced...

I use the Carlube stuff but other firms do ATF-U (Millers and Triple QX to name two) so if you can get them and as long as the spec is the same I should imagine they would be okay, but others may advise.

That merc is absolutely lovely. One of those would be in my "modest" classics collection if I won the lottery

This thread has been quite the read. 270 posts in a matter of days and presumably it'll keep going. I'll be honest, I'd be fascinated to see the outcome...

Good to see some unrelated chit chat going on here, and no non-ignoring of the OPs thread

That would be great, thanks very much. Drop me a pm when you're ready.

Just a brief pause in ignoring to say WHAT A THREAD THAT IS! Every once in a while a real beauty comes along. Reading that thread has really helped my ignoring of this one for a bit.

I shall indeed Sir Andy.

Just checked in for the day to see how it's going. There is some serous ignoring going on here folks! Well done, and more strength to all of your elbows. Keep it up! Anyhoo, I'm going to ignore for night I think, and probably tomorrow

Just bought and fitted a new expansion cap.

A couple of interesting examples on ebay at the moment... No2 has some mods on I'd like...

I've been so busy I've not had time to proactively think about ignoring which has been pretty helpful in said ignoring obviously. As I'm now less busy your posts this evening are a helpful reminder and I'll now get back to consciously ignoring subconciously
