Many thanks for this Richard, the usual great help from this forum, many many thanks. I have not had a chance to get hold of the car as she is always out in it but will try to see tonight, will give it a good checking over. The only issue is that I have the hill descent amber light on and the...

Hi guys, I know I am covering old ground again but.......... About to sell wife's freelander as I have just bought a Disco 3 so no need for 2 4x4's. She has the amber hill descent warning light and recently the ABS light stay on permenantly. I have peeled back the gearstick gater and can see...

CONGRATUALTIONS EDGE - it sailed through. 97k on the clock, 10k since last MOT / Service - not even an advisory note! Gotta love the Hippo's then they work!!!!

Booked in for 9am. Will let you know what the outcome is. Anyone want a wager on how much this is gonna cost me?!

The Mrs's SRS light came on when I had to use jump leads to start it after she left the interior light on.................. Do you think disconnecting the battery for an hour or so will do the trick. All connectors under seats etc are fine. Thanks in advance. MG

Thanks chaps! I am going out now to have a look. Ming, knew I could rely on you! Thanks again

He he - I am tempted! Where is the relay for it? I will pull the switch out later tonight and see if it is that - a real pain!

2002 (51 reg) 1.8 GS - we have found that the air con seems to be on, whether the button is pushed and light is on or button is depressed and light is off. Any idea's? When I am at standstill with the engine on and hit the button on the revs remain constant and no dip is seen as you would...

I have been quoted £200 for replacing the gasket on the water pump (£10 part) and the expansion tank (£5 part) Does the labour sound right?!?!

it is in the garage, I have been told it is a water pump seal / gasket. Any ideas how much I am looking at to replace - they are waiting parts for tomorrow?!?! Is in at an independent LR garage in Cheltenham.

yes it does, it is a GS. Thanks in advance

Ah! Thanks chaps, will steer clear of the cheaper fix then! I have it booked into Tim Fry in Cheltenham next week, should just be a pipe leaking on the side of the Rad that I cannot get to, fingers crossed they do not uncover anything else...........!

Radweld. Really nervous about using this stuff - are there any massive issues with putting it in? Thanks in advance again - will nip to Halfords if all clear!

Right - it is losing fluid and I can see lime green coloured (coolant I think) - have looked everywhere and it is collecting on pipes near the fan belt and oil filter side - but I cannot see exactly where from. Before I throw it in to the garage does anyone have any suggestions?! At least it...

cheers ratty, they seem to have some pressurising in them * - losing a 'little' fluid over a week or so but it does have white streaks in the engine bay - will check the pipes over! * = when I squeeze the pipes the fluid in the expansion tank rises and falls.

Hi guys, I got out again tonight after the Mrs came home with it and I think it could be described almost as a bit of a curry like smell. Which could mean antifreeze loss - any ideas where to start, loose pipes or is it something more sinister. As I said, no smoke, gunk in cap or water in oil...

If you have a towbar fitted check the connections. If you don't, lift up the garpet in the back and in the rear storage well will be a connector taped to the floor, if this is corroded / wet / shorting on anything you may get the flash. My recommendation is to either snip and tape or put a...

The boot one is notorious and it is often better to glue the seals properly in place as they do slip a bit and when they do they can leak. In my experience most of the door ones also do the same, I used a gluegun to put all my door seals in place. I would be suprised if your windscreen was...

I have checked this over the weekend, the smell is 'kind of' there but seems better with more water about!! Not wet behind stereo dash so fingers crossed not matrix. Any other thoughts or is it just another Hippo thing I need to get used to!

Thanks chaps. TedShred, what was it in the end? Matrix or Screenwash? I will be checking both tonight!!
