Classic3.9 v8 injection.There are 2 fuel lines from the tank to the engine bay, one is from the fuel pump and the other is the fuel return pipe.My question is, which side of the rail do the pipes go too? does the pipe from the pump go to the fuel...

So that's what its currently saying which is better then it was

Guessing it tells you to measure to the bottom of the rim in which case you would need to subtract 25mm ish.

It does tell me from the rim and yes I put it in from each corner

Did you put the measured values in from the wheel centers to the arch for each corner? The rim size would only matter if your tool tells you to measure from the rim.

I can remember when seat belts first came out my ma, being a doctor, and very safety conscious, was mad keen on them so we had three point fixed ones, i.e. not inertia reel fitted in the front of our Morris Minor while in the rear we two had to...

May I add i could only calibrate for 20 inch wheels not 22s it would not let me put higher then 800mm or lower then 680mm

Right so tried to recalibrate height and didn't matter what mm I put in it did nothing 🤣 Yes all doors were shut and it was running And i also turned off after and restarted still showing no faults on dash

I found the housing here https://www.lrparts.net/219714-gear-lever-housing-for-land-rover-series-fits-1949-1984.html?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADmOzNeG3EVbOyPjpdhC4y_NbwQ6k&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlKa249PfjAMV6ohQBh10cDLeEAQYByABEgK6uvD_BwE Will do...

Yes clean it up and just a tad of grease in the selector cups. Stick is available new, housing may be hard to find. There is a series 3 stick and housing on the flea bay. S3 stick has one bend S2 stick has two.

Thanks Kevstar. Will do.

Not quite. Although the block & heads are basicall the same, the camshaft pulleys, crank & cam sensors are different between GEMS & Thor. Obviously the intake, but also the coils & brackets. Cooling system pipe routing & radiator are different.

I'm no eggspurt on these beasts, just read the manual a few times and being an engineer for over 40 years gives you a certain perspective when tracing faults.

In case anyone else needs the answer to this one in the future, I have determined it refers to a PTO.

Really? Mine is a MY2000 THOR engined car and the official LR build document says 2-pin diff.

Bumping this thread as my fathers 2014 Freelander is experiencing similar issues Background - battery kept draining. would jump start just fine and drive but wouldn't hold charge for very long Battery was removed from the car and tested, given...

I’m doing a four day trip to France and would like to know what are people must have tools when travelling abroad.

Thanks for all the clarification. First of all i have the transmissions and the differentials in mind. If the core engine without the intake is the same too, I could relaxed refurbish the spare one and just swap it in when it's finished. Both...

They're factory markings. When we rebuilt my 1992 110 we found similar markings on the axle casings when they were cleaned up.

Ok to add further to this, the new module was fitted but there has been no luck communicating with the keys for some reason What is next on the circuit after that control module?

That is totally rubbish. I take it the council provided this piece of poop? Grr!:mad:

thanks. Good to know if I get there!

Turns out the lever and housing have been bored out by some incompetent bellend sometime in the past resulting in the lever locating notch being enlarged by movement of the wrong fitting screw. So it’s out. Am going to get a new lever and...

it definitely has it, i have an old one too...the soft was updated only for air suspension and ACE for the engine has everything from the beginning... if you go to programming - there is the "learn security code" and injector coding somewhere

thats good then. though mine is old and does not have the latest software so it may not. I bought it maybe 15 years ago!

hawkeye can do the same thing like nanocom for that in programming menu

Def not a diseasel expert, but several people have been saying stay away from M57, but that the N57 535 is much better ?? (always fun to pipe in on a thread I know nothing about)

As above, what parts are you swapping ? If it's just the drivetrain (based on the first post & title), then the only mechanical difference is the 4-pin front diff in the Thor. Is something bad on the Thor that needs replacing ?

Have you seen the price of Yamaha and Suzuki 50cc moped from the 1970's l don't think buyers actually ride them, l've never seen one on the road and at bike shows they're brought in vans or on trailers. Back in the day we thought our AP50's...

Tried searching, but couldn't find anything. I reached out to Bell to get a recon VCU for my '00 1.8 Freelander. They don't seem to do overseas business. As I am in the EU, this is an issue. Does anyone know of a reputable dealer for properly...
