Even weirder that it applies the brakes a fair amount in that dead-space, but I think the MOT guy will be happy enough compared to last time :oops: You can adjust the pushrod on the pedal to the master, I've adjusted it a bit, but it is...

Glad you got it sorted, well almost. The dead space ought to be down to pistons moving through empty space until the pads contact the discs, and/or the shoes contact the drums. If calipers are properly built I cannot see how that can happen as...

Coming back to this with some good news finally! We managed to take it for a drive on... private road 🤫 None the less I can safely say while there is that 10-15% dead-space at the beginning the brakes still work in that range maybe it's just...

I hope she is lucky enough to be able to do this successfully. I have an aluminium bonnet on a car that got severely pooped on and no amount of treatment, even repainting, lasted. Bird poop and birds eggs can be awful things to get on a car. Bird...

Try wet sanding- 3000 grit, then good polish something like Scholl s3 gold, that will remove the sanding marks and bring the panel up. When I got my 4.2 the previous owners house was surrounded by trees and he obviously didn’t do the roof much...

I've got a leak from the last metal pipe just as it enters the sender, it broke off easy when I touched it. The nut and olive arrangement is rubbish as is the metal pipe with the bend that goes to plastic upstream. I've ordered a new sender...

Er's a 1989. Advance until it pinks and then back it off 'a bit' is a novel idea to me. My rough and ready approach before I got a light was to twist the dizzy back and forth to establish where the engine was struggling in both directions, then...

2014, freelander 2, my haldex is working intermittently even though serviced around 1500 mls ago, a friend who recently broke his 2012 freelander has given me his old complete haldex which I have just serviced, can I just fit to my car or will...

Thanks Tony. I’ve just reset all the settings and idle. Now to go for a drive a pull a plug. The spark plugs are Champion N12YC. I’ll let you all know the outcome 👍🏻

Ok this might sound a bit silly to some but here we go anyway. I would like to stop the new steel wheel nuts and extended studs rusting, what can I spray on them to help keep the orange stuff at bay. I am hoping someone will say WD40 dry PTFE...

Why? I don't understand, please explain.

Brilliant stuff, should be the same process for the D1 so I’ll run through that and see if I have any luck tested pin 39 from ignition. At ignition II showing 9.6 volts. Am I assuming right that it would need 12v to activate the relay?

Great 🙄

Mine did just that.

I found a replacement bumper made a noticeable improvement. The old bumper on mine was a painted black one with rust showing through. I fitted a galvanised one, used but I good condition. I see yours is galvanised but looks tired. It might be...

I won't touch them any more. I was at MM4x4 a couple of months ago for something. Dave brought it out in a blue box and i politely asked him to take it away and bring one back in a more expensive box! I finally learned my lesson after having a...
