Thought the disco sport was ingenum only ?

Thanks for your reply. Honestly i dont know because i did not do it myself.

Doors, tailgate, sills, windscreen frame and inside of the wings are all painted and shining 😀

Day 2 of painting and been troubled by orange peel 😖 right then back to the original recipe 2:1 and no thinners….

Ah thanks thats good to know. Yes that makes sense. The less movement the better. I have inward facing bench seats in the back and I don't want to lose that seating capacity. My wife and I like to go camping with our dog and sometimes we meet...

Obvious, new belt, new tensioner

No chance, mine was used on the Ark, plenty to choose from on the ebay just pick one with a tapered nose.

Got a brand name by chance?

I have a plier type rivet tool that has a smaller head than my lazy tongs.

Try uplugging & cleaning the two round electrical plugs at the top front of the gearbox. Did you do the fluid at correct temperature & engine running ?

Forward of the rad Izzy carrys a full width intercooler. This is supported by some homemade brackets that are being refurbed, and all are fitted with a common design of support rubber. Does anyone recognise this from the LR parts bin? I need...

On the heater box there are 6 rivets that are tight into the joint: Its just too tight for the nose of the lazy tongs. I have Googled a bit and not really turned up anything that looks like it with cope with this or a few spots where some...

Now listed on fleabay.

To m ove it, get a secondhand spare tyre.

Whoever designed the heater box certainly took an interesting route. Or some drugs. One or the other as its ended up complex and both rivetted and spot welded along the same joints. Its consumed 12 hours of my life I reckon. There is the one way...

anything to do with wiring ECM BCM etc is going to be a right pain. As for the chassis, there must be ways of testing it to see if it has been seriously damaged. Testing it for twist resistance is just one thing see this...

Surely unplugged it can't go off, so do the resistor fudge & leave the airbag where it is ?

When I first had my second Freelander td4 auto there were a few problems and advised to change the maf sensor which I did now 13 years after suffering a few problems like smoke on start up and acceleration ,I had enough and was going to sort it...

The freelander unit was a citroen/peugeot /Ford unit. A good engine when looked after👍 For the later disco "lite" I've no idea if it's the same unit🤔

As we don't know what you think are the obvious two.....

No point suggesting the obvious two. Any other ideas, air con on off makes little difference.

The rebuild has started. HV and LV junction boxes removed Dumped in a box I was never happy with the previous design that kinda evolved as I learned more about what I needed. I had LV components in the HV JB which is an obvious no no, and...

Finally got enough bits together to re-fit the rear wheel carrier. Forgot how heavy the wheels are when I had to lift it back on though 😂

... I saw the MIL in hospital this PM. Not great, but brighter than last time. Kept reporting to me that there were flies all over her bed sheets and occasionally that I had flies all over my face. I kept telling her there were no flies and that...

Hello everyone. I am Marben from the island of Malta. I have a freeeldnder 2006 automatic which i use for a sunday drive. I own this car for the past 17 years. Recently i am having problems with my auto box. When i start the car and drive for the...

Tbh it is no bad thing. Letting the torque spin out protects the driveline to an extent The issue with the m57 is that it makes a lot of torque very low down I have put a pneumatic centre diff lock in but I doubt I will ever use it unless I get...

Please make sure the battery has been disconnected for at least 30 mins before unplugging and plugging airbag connections 🫣

I’ve had a look at the chassis cause been doing a bit of sweeping of glass etc. The rear is/will be fbar’d, all the coating has burned off from where the floor arches up for rear seats, body undercoating from there backwards is also burnt away...

Thread size or spanner size?

Poileas Alba as they say round ‘Ere
