Hi...here's the story in short. Kids mess with switches, leave interior lights on, battery is dead. GF tries to bump the car down a hill. First attempt she forgets to turn ignition on, second attempt (ignition on this time) it starts, puffs out some smoke but would barely tick over and had no...

Hi All, Since fitting a recon VCU and new bearings, I've noticed that when going fast 60mph + there is a very slight, but definite increase in noise and a very slight vibration under my seat. The noise doesn't sound like a bad noise just a general hum and I'm sure to most folks you would not...

Hi, I put my prop back together at the weekend, recon VCU and new bearings. It's ready to bolt back on the car now. My only question is this....I followed Hippo's howto guide on replacing the VCU bearings. The U shaped washers have a little noggin on one side - Hippo says these are to stop...

Hi, A quick one...I'm getting a recon VCU and fitting it - wondered if it's worth replacing VCU bearings at the same time - I know it's only about £50 for new ones but if the old ones are fine why bother? I've also read of many problems with crap new bearings - hence my question. Cheers.

Hi, Tailgate is leaking - I've located where. It's hinge side, near to where glass joins door. On the car-side the seal has a flangey flat bit that should marry up to the odd contour of the door... I've googled it and found no solution other than buy a new seal - £100. Anyone managed to fix...

Hi, After reading lots of useful threads on here about the fitting an EGR bypass - I tackled it yesterday. Was a very straight forward job. There was a good degree of sludgy oiling goo in the old EGR valve and the intake manifold was also coated. Most time consuming part of the job was...

Considering buying a full new set of tyres. Currently fitted are 195/80/r15...would it be possible to fit 215/75/r15's? Slightly wider tread - rolling circumference is almost identical (I've checked a tyre size calculater). Not really knowing too much about tyre/alloy sizing but I think I...

Hi. Is it possible to buy a new (non-landrover) stereo that still makes use of the steering wheel controls?

Hi, I'm going to pick up a set of used freelander alloys with a set of nearly new tyres. I was wondering what I should look out for when I pick them up? Is there anything to watch in terms of damage/wear. Is there anything to check on the alloys? The tyres are General Grabber TR 215/80/r15...

Had my td4 for a week or two - noticed that it holds back quite a bit in full lock. I know it's meant to be normal to a degree but no idea what that degree is. Anyway - I did the test. Jacked back wheel up, socket on hub nut with 1 meter bar with 5kg weight, took about 1 min 30 sec to turn 45...

Hi, Never owned a landrover before and I've been thinking I'd quite like a freelander td4. I've found one that looks pretty decent with very low mileage however there are few niggles. Its a TD4 GS 5 door. The seller is prepared to adjust the price according to how much it costs to put the...
