I absolutely would not be putting that stuff in any vehicle I own. HG failure is rare on the TD4 so I'd definitely be doing more investigation on where the leak might be first. Compression test first, and if that's okay, have a look at other...
Ya spare one
Fixed it
He’s a lad with a young family so money a bit tight I would guess
He was over the moon when it started 😁
We have all been there 😂 the relief out ways the anger in the end
I have finally got to the bottom of this one. A combination of the garage that originally did the autobox change and actually underfilled the box, rather than over filling it, and me subsequently following the incorrect procedure for checking the...
Strange comparison F2 or Defender.
The F2 is undoutedly much more comfortable than a Defender - there is no comparison. If you haven't driven one, you'll be surpised at how solid an F2 feels and how awesome they are to drive on road.
If the...
The PTU oil is due to be changed again soon because the first change which i did in November 2023 was to me a flushing change, also my intention is this time round i will drill and tap a drain hole plug.
I have gathered the drill bits, taps, and...
Have you checked the emergency fuel shut off beside the ECU and fuse box?
I might be wrong here but doesn't the fuel pump run for only a few seconds after turning Ign on? Were you able to meter it immediately after turning the key?
If I recall...
If it were the ECU cutting the engine you wouldn't get the symptoms of your "1st Time" stall - ie roughness then gradual loss of power until it stalls. That does not sound to me like the ECU cutting the engine or even going into a limp mode (if...
Blinkin Ek, keep your drawers on.
Are you all hysterical women in the Disco section?
If you trace the roots of the TD5 engine, I believe it goes all the way back to the 1.8 petrol engine used in the MGB.
Its most recent predecessor that it was...
Photos or it didn't happen!
Have to say, in many ways I wish I'd put the money that I spent on my F2 into rebuilding the F1.
With a $13.5k budget could have done quite a job.
Mind you I do enjoy driving the F2 as well.
After months and months I have finally bought myself another Mark 1 Face lift TD4 AUTO. Younger than my Serengeti with less mileage the one I bought is a 3 Door Sport with removeable Hard Top and I couldn"t be happier. It"s in the garage having...
Brought one home (after a 20 year break, from a 50th, not from a FL1)
I've had an 98 XDi 3dr in rioja L series, a 99 50th 3dr L-series (ex-duckworths demo), a kalahari TD4...
The 50th will keep my td5 company, but i'm tempted to just put it in...
I work around the SDR by not fixing broken bits I can live with.
The SDR monitors that there are broken bits and therefore waits for them to be fixed before breaking the next bits.
So I never have any serious problems with my Freelander ;)
