    I work at a scrapyard so we do get a fair share of end of life vehicles but this was the first 3 door Hippo since I’ve been there. Been waiting for one for ages, kept thinking I had to buy a couple of tyres then got lucky. Still got the sports...

    I take it you work at a breakers yard? Or did you just buy some bits off someone who turned up at your place of work? How did they get home? Do you try to get other types of parts off your customers, kidneys, livers etc? :D Going by your...

    I posted on 16/03/25 smugly about replacing my starter motor. What a fool…. Three days later the new one stopped working altogether. So after much cursing, blood sweat and tears put the old one back in. Started first time and continues to work...

    Manual: it's all powered through the gearbox switch, very simple. Auto: powered by a relay which is triggered (from memory) by the Jatco ECU.

    GrumpyGel replied to the thread Freelander 1 Brake light switch woes, blowing fuse.
    My main thought is that it was a rather useless auto electrician. Second thought is that its nothing to do with brakes if the fuse is for both reverse lights and brakes... and it happens when you put the car in reverse. Does it do it if you...

    An AWD fully functional F1 is obviously the best way to use and enjoy the car. However, my F1 has been giving great service in 2WD for a decade and is still going strong. I have just removed drive in the IRD to the rear pinion, so I'm carrying...

    When my L Series started strange misbehaving starts it was due to electrical spikes. I disconnected the battey for 20 minutes to let the ecus clear and reset themselves. It was fine after that. Good luck.

    Here it is for a facelift. Power comes from position "1" on the ignition barrel (I don't know what that means), through F6, through the inhibit switch on the transmission, and in to the immobiliser. If the vehicle starts then it's probably working.

    I don't know anything about your problem, I don't know how the auto box works, but you say "there is no power to the inhibitor". Looking at the circuit diagram, the "INHIBIT" within the 'SELECTOR" looks to get power from fuse F35 in the...
