    Freelander - Not Starting

    "When you say after five mins in your disco nothing happens - does nothing mean no headlights lights even" What I mean, is that the iginition is dead. You can turn the key all day and there is nothing. To be honest, I've never noticed if the headlights worked or not. I'm just wondering, if on...

    Freelander - Not Starting

    Are you actually sure that the battery is dead? After 5 minutes in my Disco, the ignition is immobilized. No matter how many times you turn the key, it won't start. The only way I know to get around it, is to use the key fob, to lock "unlock" the alarm. Give that a go..... you got nothing to...

    Speedo Screws

    You know the screws that hold the wiper arm adapters on the drive gear......Well, I cut down them till they were the right length and have been using them for 2 years. If you have a few of them extra sitting about, give it a try. Todd.

    Land Rover Workshop Manual, any good?

    Hej Manamendra, The rear windows are from Paddocks. I bought them when I bought the Landy. The quality of the wondow frame is top notch, but the lock is crap. :mad: I had to add a second lock, in order to keep everything in. Todd.

    Land Rover Workshop Manual, any good?

    That manual is in used condition and there are three bidders already. If you don't watch it, the price, including shipping will be higher than buying new. Check the LR mag's, I'm sure you can buy a reproduction of the original for the same money. That's one manual that I've not been able to...

    Series 2 Hybrid - Engine/Axle identification

    The motor serial number is found on the block, usually near the front and the axles have the numbers placed on the top of the axle tub, to the right of the diff. Good Luck with your new hybrid, I have one and think it's great. Best of both worlds, Defender suspension and the body of the older...

    Series 2 Hybrid - Engine/Axle identification

    The 2.5L motor came from the Defender line up and the axles, most likely, the same thing. Both the axles and motor have serial numbers, that you would use for ordering parts. Therefore, if you ask nicely, at your local parts supplier, they can give you a better brake down on the serial numbers...

    Bleeding Brakes

    Loony Larry's trick also worked for me........ on the clutch. Yes, the valve is in the on position, but it's open. If allowed/kept open for several hours, what remaining air that might be in the line, will escape. I agree with the above comments, check the brake parts, see that the parts...

    Sweden Offroad Tour... Thinking of taking part next year.

    Exactly Jon, You make your own way back to Gothenburg. I think the whole idea with the SORT is to provide you with an opportunity to experience Sweden and at the same time, enjoying some 4x4ing everyday. The people that I've meet, that came over from your way, made it an summer vacation...

    Range Rover 70-85 Workshop Manual ??

    Does anyone have a copy of the RR 70-85 WSM (English) in pdf form? I have the 85-93 WSM in pdf, but would like to get my hands on the earlier version, if possible. I've managed to download a FRENCH copy of the manual, but it's useless to me ;-) Any help or suggestions are appreciated...

    Sweden Offroad Tour... Thinking of taking part next year.

    Hello Jon, I'm a Canadian living over in Sweden. I can fill you in with the SORT. The organizer, what he has done, is made it, so that you can make your way, as you wish between days events. Your not required to follow any set "convoy rules" , you can choose your routes, from location to...

    Fitting overdrive unit

    A hammer and a large flat screw driver is all you really need. The special tool that your talking about is no longer produced, at least thats what I've been told. I installed a Fairy overdrive a few months back and I had no problem with the screw driver trick. Todd.

    Which tyres

    The price range between the BFG's & the Goodyears, here, at least in Sweden, is considerable. The Goodyears are very expensive, compared to the BFG's. Yes, the goodyears are the hot tires on the market, but the BFG's are proven. I'll be ordering new mud tires this week, I researched mud...
