Hi, That I do know, its a 22L, one of you king gents helped me with that the other day.

This sound very much like the solenoid has failed, the coil is closing the contacts but they aren't making contact and passing enough current to spin the motor.

Everything worked fine until the starter motor went click. My arms aren't long enough to see the headlights when i turn the key. I've just put the fully charged battery on and connected a jump lead between the battery earth post and the earth...

Is this a separate solenoid to the one that's part of the starter motor?

Hi to everyone. 2006 Freelander L314 TD4 No communication to ECU but vehicle starts and drives, no lights on dash. any recommendations for companies who repair ECU's Tried Connecting with Autel to it had to input VIN manually because it...

I would expect nothing less! It's my old F1, that is now with my daughter, that I'm more concerned about. Strange how it still finds it's way back here when it has a problem :rolleyes:😂

K series, first thing to check is the compression to rule out head gasket failure.

Well they did when we checked in!!! This is the longest delay I have ever known for a ferry. Have known longer for a plane though 😉

Sat here on dockside, bin told ferry will be 1 and a half hours late leaving due to HMS Prince of Wales leaving. It went 8minutes ago.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Mind there are also 2 cruise ships in. SAGALOUTs all loading up. Have...

Must be suge saucers!!!!

Update: Stripped down a bunch so far, seems to be a nice pool accumulating on the valley gasket: After work I'll pressurise the system again and pinpoint the leak hopefully. But... While I was tearing down, I took off the oil filler cap+neck...

How to do the bonnet latch part is is well described in various threads. To actually unlock the doors you needs to access the diagnostic lines & have decent diagnostics. @mowoh as I said in reply to your PM, I would need to see picture of you...

I have a 2014 Freelander 2 HSE I seem to have lost illumination on the speedo and rev counter, but the central information display is ok\ Is this a settings thing or fault ?

I bought a pair of brake calipers from Paddocks thinking they would send Britpart. What turned up was labelled PEAC. You could bleed them as much as you like, they wouldn't work, both failed straight out of the box. Bought some Britpart ones...

It looks like you have a few different part numbers - FRC2644 FRC7065 or TIR100000 What you need is the number off the top of the axel. This is an example, for you to locate yours by, from a 20L axel -

If you look on the jaguar landrover site for 200tdi era housings it will give you the part number. This may, or may not be the same as later, but, either way, youll know what to order.

A replacement from John Craddock for £45 (Britpart) should be fine for the cost, but keep in mind that aftermarket glass can sometimes vary in quality compared to OEM options. Britpart is generally a reputable brand, but some users have reported...

Kits available from padocks ect that go by your chassis number iirc. :)

Hi, Managed to get the whole of the front axle stripped this weekend and started assessing what is U/S, sadly one of the swivel housings, O/S the steering drop arm joint has worn it elliptical, so assume this is now scrap. I have looked...

Sikaflex.

That's my thinking too. Thank you.

BTW, for the coolant pressure test, I have two of those no-name kits, and found the documentation on what car each is for to be wrong. As said above try several caps until you find one that seals properly.

I like Sikaflex ... https://automotive.sika.com/en/solution-products/exterior-adhesives/sikaforce.html

check the propshaft union bearings, or universal joints on the propshaft that is if you still have them attached
