Hi Tony,
I wish you luck with your engine removal. I've written a post on the forum with the steps I went through. Hopefully it will help you and others. I also hope that other people will add to it with additional information and corrections.

I hope that helps.
All the best,
Paul.

Hello, just joined, added a profile and, some replies.

I am ancient, can tune my carbs to easily pass MOT's but I am computer illiterate and don't want to offend anyone by my ignorance.
I can understand "like" but.
What are trophys?
Why do I receive emails taking me to your site, but, I don't know what to do then?

I am Series 1 age not Range Rover, can you help.
Hi Steve

Thanks for sending those references to me regarding my temperature sender for my Series 3 engine. I did some research and it looks like I can purchase the adapter bush which which screws into the engine head (part ERC 9432 and a suitable copper washer) and then get a temperature sender to suit a Smiths gauge to screw into the adapter.

Best regards

Guido

Hi
I was searching for a Ford V6 adapter kit for a series Landy. I don’t suppose you still have yours?
A long shot I know.

96 Defender 90. It's a rolling restoration, doing it all myself here in Minnesota. She needed just a bunch of upkeep to be done when I got her three years ago. There are a few Defenders here in Minneapolis, most via Bishop+Rook but Lizbit was a direct sale from midlands where she used to deliver flowers.
If one person finds this helpful that is my justification. Discovered today that I can 're-boot' an unresponsive Freelander 2. All doors locked, bonnet open, but no response to key fob. Battery charge was good. What can you do? The answer was to disconnect the +terminal and re-connect; registering some kind of reaction and then found the fob would work. Major relief!!!
Removed front O/S footwell carpet today need to have hole in bulkhead behind pedals welded to give it more strength.

Carpets are in the house drying out not sure how long that will take.

MJS Headliners re-covered my liner. Great service, highly recommend.

Thinking about a ReMap any views on this?
Tidying up my Discovery 2.

Drying out, replacing headliner, fixing sunroof seals and leaks, replacing roof bar seals and adding some blue LEDs to the dash and Temperature Console.

Also filling holes that a previous owner used white silicon and sheet metal to seal.

Painting Rust Converter onto Chassis.

Lots of work forever as a Discovery 2 owner.
You're never too old to learn new things, but you can be too stupid
After many years regretting selling my old SIII Landy after doing a full restoration on it, I finally reached that age where I decided I needed to get my dream car, well nearly, I recently purchased a 2008 L322 3.6.
Good to know the forum is still going

I have so far experienced all those niggly little issues they throw at you after you drive one out of the showroom and after 130k miles, mine was looking for more attention than a mistress half my age probably would be insisting on with similar expenditure to go with it. But I'm still hopeful that after giving it some love, it i'll prove to provide me with some pleasurable journeys and reliable motoring.

Guess its time to wake up now!!
so, now have a wobble free Freelander 1 td4 (new VCU) bit noisy but have bearings (FAG's) on order.
****ing about in the water and now massive power loss almost feels like turbo not engaging ?

when warms up get like a squealing noise then the power loss starts, feels like running an old diesel with no boost.... :(
any help or advice much appreciated :)

was thinking egr valve or the turbo control thing with the 3 vacuum pipes running to it but wondered if anybody else had similar issues ?

was fine until it got wet :(
Jamin77
Jamin77
all sorted and fixed !
just a quick post in case somebody might find it useful
located the problem to split vacuum hoses around the turbo actuator, can only assume they were sucking in water and the breather filter full of water and so air locked.

replaced hoses emptied out filter now running sweet again (famous last words)

Omg it’s a Freelander…..

So. New vcu bearings put on fresh from bell, whine has gone which is good but one of the bearing has an annoying squeak on full lock ffs….

also when had it in bits checked the IRD pinion bearings, pleased to report all good.

So better than before but the saga continues..
hi all, i have a 110 i have to charge my battery every nightie had a new alternator put on and it still isn't holding a charge, could the starter motor be draining it?

Could be battery drain or the battery itself is deaded and can’t hold the charge.
Ask for help in the forums there’s few ways to easily test.
A DVM would be ideal, if it’s a drain you could systematically pull a fuse every night when you park up til it doesn’t drain then you know which system is draining it
You might want to ignore my last comment. The message if terrain system faultly came up again tonight and the light came on the dash. Been tryin my method for fixing it as I did before. It has not worked this time . sorry.
