Yeah, that's the conclusion I reached by now as well. Still a bit disappointed, but even with the way to lean SU, man, she pulls! 😊 Makes this whole snorkel thing a lot easier, and a lot cheaper as well, it reduces the costs for a well suites...

Would be very surprised to find a BSP thread there. First guess would be UNF. Followed by UNC.

Yes standard TD5 transmission. You can fit an overdrive which adds a sixth gear, but it costs over £2,000 Alternatively you can fit a Discovery transfer box but that raises the gearing in every gear which means higher intermediate gears. At 60...

That is a very subjective question and one that only you can answer. I do about 25k a year in my 200tdi 110, this has reduced from the last few years were it was high 30k's. My stand point is my 200tdi is fine for long distance motorway journeys...

Afternoon everyone I was wondering if any other freelander 2 owners have experienced this issue? I have a 2011 SD4 HSE Auto and have been having what I can only describe as hesitation from the the gearbox when it mainly goes from 1sr to second...

Does anyone know what size bolt will fit in these captive nuts? They are in the column between the front and back doors, above and below the door hinge bolts. They look like they are m8 like the hinge bolts, but I can only get an m8 in about a...

My plan it to do a restoMOD , and i think there this looks quite nice : crown rr I know that one is a RRS with classic panels on top. but still looks nice. I am doing the work my self , i have just finished a jeep , not as complicated , but...

Crankshaft sensor would be my go-to number 1 quick change. I know on the F1, a faulty one can often not throw a code. Assume the same on a 2…

I think the ZF8 is actually in RRS the last years 2011 off the TDv8 i think, but i am not sure if the bell housing fits the M57 Engine. my plan was also to use the complete driveline except the transfer case from the RRS should fit 6/8HP...

Not uncommon for those housings to be cracked see this https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/oil-filter-housing-cracking.392305/

Definitely all great advice, and I do certainly fall into the overthinking category - I’ll be fairly decisive once I settle between TD5/Puma though. I love this aspect too, it’s great. Ok so the DIY aspect swayed you a lot which is the same for...

Stock steering does not return to centre (RTC), Unless you have a RTC damper fitted that is normal. I have also just fitted a recon box and because the whole box is tighter the damper has "less" effect and you can feel it less. For your other...

Hello all. I recently bought a 2006 Freelander 1, 3 Door and looking for a parcel shelf. Can anyone suggest a supplier or let me know if they have a used one for sale. I have searched the internet to no avail.

Hi and welcome! Any pics of the lightweight? We like pics…

So, I do have news! The Zeniths are almost done, so I'll have to take them back. Which would be good news, IF I hadn't gotten permission from the secretary of finance to go for tge Edelbrock one. And IF I hadn't developed a liking for the...

UPDATE: I've now got back on this job after coming off shift and a small holiday. Got everything built back up and started the engine to check for leaks and it was worse than before I started. Coming from a different place though so I stripped...

You put all the shims IN ! ? You may have to re do the swivel pin's/swivel bush's due to them having been set to loose. Swivel pre load involves using the right number and thickness of shims to set the load [ a pull of approx 12fp at the end of...

Are you actually for real? Are you doing the work yourself (I'm doubting, as you simply wouldn't ask some of these questions if you were). What is your budget? £20k, £50k, £150k or more? Doing this will likely result in a non roadworthy vehicle...

Just to add to this, if the engine is on 122000 do the basics before anything like ECU mods, i.e. Replace main & big end bearings, piston rings, etc. Clean up & relap the valves. Look at a mild tune cam (which should not require ECU mods)...

P0016, P0019: Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (likely Bank 1 and Bank 2) That's generally a pointer to the timing chain skipped. Its especially common on those early ones. I'd be vaery waring of running it... one more...

Bought some bonds in 1981. Never won anything, ever. Maybe I should have bought more than a tenners worth 😁

I have this one ----

Have a look at the ZF8HP transmissions. They are a decent step up from the 6HP. Im in the planning phase of changing my P38s 4HP to an 8HP a really cool part about this is the 4HP has a 2.7:1 1st gear the 8HP ive gotten has a 5.5:1 1st. So crawl...

Hey guys, Does anyone know what these small shiny metallic looking fragments could be from? This is my coolant overflow tank cap. I have recently had some overheating issues, my cap gave way and began leaking coolant out. I am trying to rule...
