Hi Could anyone tell me how to change the waterpump on a 18k Hippo. Also a rough time it should take to do. If it's not too difficult a job i'll probably try myself as had enough of keeping garages going with paying out for everything that's gone wrong in the past with this car!!

Sorry did not make it too clear but when i said the car has had a new head gasket i meant just, not even done 5 miles since replaced. The head was skimmed, guess it need bleeding because of the gurgling noise but expected the garage (back street workshop) to have done this. It's the leak that...

Sorry for being a little stupid but what is hgf????

Hi I have got an 1800 hippo, just had the headgasket replaced, the car did not overheat though, now find that it has got a bad leak coming from the front drivers side of the engine, looks like it coming out right near the corner bolt, also when I rev the car i hear a gurgling noise. Is the...

Hi I took the wife's Hippo to the garage and left with a quote for mind numbing £1800+ to replace the IRD, VC and propshaft bearings. I've since purchased these items new myself with the idea of doing this job myself!!! Well, took the wheels off, took the under tray off (had to get a welder to...

Have just come from the Landrover garage, they say the IRD, viscous coupling and propshaft bearing needs doing, have been quoted £1800+, can anyone tell me if the is a hard job to do??? Any help greatly appreciated

Hello I have a 1999 50th Anniversary Freelander, I have taken the original badly worn leather steering wheel off and replaced with a new wood steering wheel with additional radio controls. Unfortunately with the new wheel the horn or the radio controls don't work. I was under the impression that...

Done me matrix today, took 5 hours all in. The only problem I have at the moment is that the matrix obviously needs bleeding because when you rev the car while stopped you can hear the water gurgling in the matrix, when I filled up the water I made sure that I bled using the little plastic...

I run on Goodyear Wranglers, get them cheap from Australia's Best Tyre Service or co.uk cant remember what one though. Have no trouble with tyres at all.

I have a 1.8 1999 Freelander that needs the heater matrix changed, I have got the new matrix, just need to swap it over, does anybody know what sort of job this is? I have in the past changed brakes etc and done some servicing. Thanks for any help. Regards Steve
