Hi Guys, so with the impending shutdown of lpg at the pumps, ots still cheaper to buy a bottle and pump it into the car. Finding a pump though seems tricky has anyone got/seen/made one? Cheers

No need to re read, I took on his advice and thanked him for it. The vcu seems all ok as long as I did the tests correctly! Def no issue with what Nodge or Grumpy said. The only issue was Mad Hat Man wrongly assumed my post related to an earlier post which it didn't, that was all, not a lot to...

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, I can't see where your coming from, it isn't worth the time.....

I did give you a lifeline and even a compliment but you still insist I don't listen. I think I explained myself pretty well but it looks like your just too stubborn in your approach.

Hmm ok, I'll check out the VCU before I tackle the repair then.....and captive nut, yea I bet that is exactly what I was trying to undo, what a plank! Though in my defence I did only attempt it for 2 minutes at the end of the day, if never of thought of going the bolt side though! Many Thanks...

Hi Nodge, Thanks for your reply. I have read a lot about the VCU failing but really conflicted reports as to how to test for it. What you say about the mounts though do make sense, but do you think that it could also be down to wear and tear? I know rubber does wear after a while and the car is...

Um I'm not sure what you have gained from my posts but you are misunderstood as to your thinking. This new post is not related, if you were to read the end of my last post, I mentioned that I had solved the knocking noise which was from the help of the posts. These mounts are a completely...

Yes from the MOT station. We use the garage quote a bit so pretty friendly with them. He basically said the rear prop shaft mounts are looking quite worn,not at the point of replacement but within the next year. As I keep on top of repairs, I just wanted to replace them now. There's 3 of them...

Hello again guys, So one of the MOT advisories was the prop shaft mounts. After spending some money on the old girl lately I decided to go with aftermarket mounts. I would now start to describe what a mistake it was and how I wished I bought genuine etc, however I can't get that far as I can't...

Many thanks for all your replies, sorry for the late reply I had no notifications on any other emails. So the knocking has been fixed and it WAS a mounting. Even with me thinking I had located the knock, it was just vibration from a different area. Such a pain but just goes to show you have to...

Yes that's the part I've also replaced,yet the noise still seems to be coming from the gearbox end. Looks like a trip to the garage is in order

Thanks Alibro Yes I replaced the whole driveshaft. The reason I replaced it is that I had it on the ramps and found exactly where the knock was, it was right where the driveshaft fits into the transmission. The noise still persists and still coming from the same area, but what could cause a...

Thanks Hoss, I think I've already replaced that as well, the part your talking about, does it look like a boomerang shape and fits right under the driveshaft? If so that's the part I've also replaced

Freelander 1 2004 td4 Hi Guys, I have a knocking noise which I was hoping someone may know what it is. The noise is noticeable in low gear when pulling away due to the strain on the engine. You can make the noise happen when holding your foot on the brake and rocking the car in first and...

Hi Guys, Just looking for any tips to remove the bumper strip and residue on the drivers door. I've finally found a decent second hand door in the right colour to swap it for the one my wife 'decorated', though our car does not have the bumper strips.....which is weird because there off the...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply, I didn't get a notification anyone replied hence the late response. I've changed the egr valve for the modification and the crankcase filter also for the BMW mod

We got a local garage to hook up the diagnostic computer today but no faults were found.....any ideas guys?

Hi guys Just hoping someone can give me a few pointers on where to look. Basically our td4 BMW lump stutters/hesitates at slow speed, noticeable in 3rd gear cruising at 30mph. I have added in some of that fuel cleaning additive in the hope something was blocked but to no avail. My only slight...

Yea your right,the thread title should really include any electrical fault as there are a lot of wires under there. Seems like a fire waiting to happen!

There is a plastic clip to hold the wires in place which pushes into a hole, though on mine there are so many wires that this clip cannot hold them, hence it pulls out of the hole and allows the wires to move.
