Will also say my 4.2sc doesn’t seem to have that issue, different engine and box.

Have a relative with a tight driveway up a steep incline and just reversing up in the td6 was like that, tiny bit of power and nothing then bit more and it was 100mph up the drive, fine forwards just reverse. Got used to it but low does give much more control.

Not bad then. Don’t know about subframe bushes but cv gaiters aren’t too bad as long as you get stretchy ones, no need to split the joints then.

Gave mine a good polish, couple of areas needed a wet sand with 3000 grit wet and dry. Need to do roof tomorrow. Also de chromed the front headlamp washers and fog surrounds, original body colour were underneath and just needed a clean and polish.

Also just to add they did make a rare model that was just 2wd but if I’m not mistaken it came out much later than 07, easy way to tell is Jack the back up and spin the rear prop, if it’s still working it won’t move (gearbox in 1st- front wheels on ground- handbrake off) if splines have gone rear...

Had this on my freelander 2 few years go. Both manual and autos suffer from gearbox spline wear, there’s a splined coupling in the power transfer unit (gearbox/transfer box in one unit kind of idea) the splines couple the rear prop, they wear and strip, no noises and won’t affect the way it...

Yea i put that in the new key, works perfect.

Quick update on the key situation, no matter how quick I try I can’t seem to get the other key to program, did get a new key shell and swapped chip and local key place cut the key, was talking to farther in law and he knows a guy who does for the AA and deals with keys & immobiliser issues so...

Keep us informed keep us updated if you find anything, be good to have mine solid but it’s not a major issue as even under braking it doesn’t seem to move, sometimes i wonder if it’s just play in the various parts and they are a big heavy seat with only 1 fixing at the base to floor nothing to...

Both my front seats do that. Can’t feel it sat in seat but when pushed from behind it moves a good inch or so at the top of the seat, (although the whole back moves) I put it down to way it’s built and size of the seats although by 2004 td6 has slight movement but not as much as my 06 4.2, which...

Local tyre place and mechanic (separate firms) sell loads of landsails, no comebacks from talking to them, iv had them on mine a few times including there landsail “winter lander” winter tyre and that was decent enough. Good tyre for the price in my view, is it as good as the Pirelli scorpion...

My supercharged has light grey wheels that were painted on the car.. faint grey line going down the black Brembo calipers. Now got silver paint and will order a can or two of 2k lacquer and repaint them, light grey goes ok with the odd bits of chrome and Buckingham blue but prefer silver.

Had a disco 2 td5 that used to do that, two years I owned it and never got round to fixing it. Starters seem to limp on a while.

Strange that unless when I phoned it was a very recent thing they had brought in. Always liked Nfu as in when you phone it’s in Britain and no wait on phone but couldn’t justify there crazy prices.

Were you all ready with them?

Just renewed mine, used to be with Nfu then they wanted £1000 so went to LV, who said £780 on my td6. But then wanted £2000 on the 4.2s so used money supermarket and it came in at £860 with esure, nightmare to deal with as there one of a handful that require proof on Ncd but there site isn’t...

Hard to tell, to me it was more dash centre/ instrument pack, know that duct goes up to fan in the main electrical box, I had it with my td6 like a chirp noise and that came from that way from the fan in the box, this is like a higher pitch park sensor.

Forgot to say it’s a 2006 4.2sc, so cross over bmw/ Ford years.

Hi everyone, strange one earlier, had a loud continuous tone/ beep from dash earlier, first time is happened tried to recreate it but no look, was reversing on drive earlier, put it into reverse park sensors on reversed back, then got the continuous beep from being close to trees, normal parking...

Possibly a similar thing used by our local guy then, if a lock and key are worn together that’s probably why iv had to fettle any new key from him to make it run smooth, nothing major just like run a file over the points just to take that initial sharp point off etc.
