Water level sensor is a good mod. Head Gasket leaks usually result in pressure in the cooling system but can go other ways

Do see no reason why disc has to be removed. I learned how to do it using what was had at the time. A Land Rover Book manual and a spring scale of the fishing type.

ok I stand corrected. I do wonder how it would behave if the disco sensors did provide pulses, especially if the front & rerar rate per revolution were different ? I guess the ABS/TCS would treat it as spinning or slipping wheels - a bit...

Have you tried just changing the filter and flushing the fluid? The steering in mine's awesome. Nice weight, responsive, accurate.

I replaced the TD4 turbo boost solenoid. The person who wrote the original sticky post about it taking 15-20 minutes was writing in 2011 and his vehicle can have been at most 10 years old. Mine is 19 years old and it was no fun crawling around in...

the flaps themselves are in the dash ducting so you need to disassemble completely to fully access. However it is far more likely to be a cable issue than the flaps. I would start at the control end and see if the cable is firstly still attached...

Oh dear, that looks pretty sad. The lining in my F1 hangs down probably as far as that would if the buttons were taken away. However, the sunroof holds it up in the front so there's no problem. If there are passengers in the back there's no...

It has no centre prop because the vcu is nackerd, the engine is nackerd etc etc as said buy a working car and save your self the expense and grief. Not a killjoy just a reality check. If you come onto a forum asking for help and advice you won't...

Thank you all for your responses — I really appreciate the help. Apologies for the delayed reply; I’ve been a bit tied up with work. I plan to check the battery voltage as @miktdish suggested. I've been consistently experiencing issues with not...

Re the airbags, apparently there has been a class action in the US which cost the company millions. Over time the can thing that holds the explosive deteriorates and lets damp in, so when it goes off it literally explodes rather than going...

So, past coupla days have been a bit cooler. Shopped yet again, the creme de cassis is all bottled and tastes great. (Not always the case, we never seem to keep a copy of the recipe, this one is now going in the file!) Today = hairdresser for W...

I bought my 2008 FL2 on Sunday, heavily discounted because it failed WOF (like MOT) on no power in the steering below 5-10 km/h. Power assist mostly works when driving very slow, and this failure is a known weakness in Ford era Freelanders. In...

Drove it - 240+km Still a very nice car to get around in. Pleasing economy: 11.12 Km/litre - or 8.99 litre /100km

Hi folks!! New challenge in my 1996 defender... The Hot air duct i stuck open so the air stream is sent down to th footwell. In the humid norwegina weather thats very inconvenient. Do i have to disassemble the whole dash to get to it, or is...
