Why didn't you do the BMW mod to the crank case filter. Cheaper to buy than the filter and once done thats it dosen't need doing again.

give it a good wash, then took it to a dealer to see if he would take it p/x on a TD4

he's gonna call me in the morn...fingers crossed

cleaned a lot of mud from behind of the front wheel arch, both sides where the same



and they say freelanders don't love mud

Changed the intercooler to air intake pipe this AM, see my thread re blowing pipe.

Washed mine!!!

Fitted a new left side tie rod end and then went for a 20km drive in the dark in 20cm of snow in a forest, looking for our dog! (dog walked back to village anyway after about an hour but I had some great 'white lane' fun in that time!)

son in law and me did the rear tie bars front, back and top one all the rubbers were perished and needed doing on my wife's car also changing the handbrake cables next , the long bolt is terrible to get out on the back ,ended up cutting sections of with a thin grinder disk ,and then drilling the rest out of the hub.

New drivers side engine mount on the L series, and a NS TRE.

New tyres and tracking in the next week or so.

washed it and looks like I have cured the leak on the back door lock/catch side but still leaking a bit on the hindge side. Reason I washed it is I had the hosepipe out testing the seal repair as it hasn't rained for a while and thought it rude not to. LOL

fixed the squeaky drivers seat that became annoying once i'd fixed the dash squeak. ( i couldn't hear it before)

another squeak will probly become apparent now these have been silenced.

Ordered the following;
Lift kit
30mm spacers
All 4 window cables (repair kit)
Another 4 roof lights
Some 100w H3 bulbs

Some fun coming up next week!

Fitted a open access dog guard,



All we need now is a dog..

Been putting it off for weeks but finally washed it.

forgot to say I ordered the Grayston GE15 spring assisters. Just hope they're easy to put on. Any tips!!!

Well I have now got my recon VCU and support bearings on order from Bells so that is sort of of 'fixed' (just need to put it all together) so today I had a look at what else needs doing. I knew on buyng this fun challenge that the ABS light wasnt working and just checked today what other warning lights dont work ...yes of course it is as you say here the three amigos! Lets get the the transmission sorted first and then I will get onto the brake stuff! I bought the car for my wife to drive when I am away and for us to cart kayaks around in the summer so it wont get a huge amont of work but given its generally excellent condition I want it to last a few years. Building up my tool collection as we speak

Dropped the newly purchased machine off back at the dealer today for warranty repairs as the passenger heated seat and reversing sensors don't work
