I will bring my T4 if a date can be done when I'm actually available.

Replaced glow plugs. Waiting for tomorrow morning to see if it starts without smoke now. also replaced intake manifold for one i cleaned out earlier. Learned valuable lesson: if you use a pressure washer to clean the manifold out, don't stand...

On reflection. This sounds like a bad idea. What can you possibly know about pasties!?! I'm busy. When is it again?

Sounds like a poor excuse to me

Arctic is only alowed if he can bring a T4 down..

@WhiskyLassie @Hippo @pwood999 @Kerlaan @Arctic2

I could bring a 240v 3pin ‘trickle’ charger for CCS which would help,whilst parked up, but I think @Alibro is Chademo plug?

Somebody needs to instruct on the correct Jam/Cream procedure...

Fitted the Extended Brake hoses that I bought from Muddy Mods a while back, finally got around to it: What a sunny day!

ha. Only ever done that in mondo mode mind.

I think @Alibro needs to give the EV motor a proper run and show it to us in person.

I sense someting big here Andy. Freefest! I'd be keen for a weekend of camping in north Devon with a couple of beers and a load of FLs rocking up. Check in with the boss though first yeah..

Happy to donate use of a field if North Devon suits anyone. Date by agreement !! About 25 mins from M5 JCN 27. As it's a field you'd need a 4x4 🤭

I don’t know of one, but if there is, I’m up for it…

Hi I'm wondering if there are any UK shows or meetups this spring or summer that people with Freelanders tend to go to?

Not really done anything to mine recently, but I did notice a particulary black looking, smallish cloud of smoke out of the back after a speedy junction manouvre today.

I'm pretty good at loosing everything so the first thing I did after building my garage was screw this board to the wall and hang my spanners in full view. I still loose them from time to time but usually not for long.

The evidence is in plain sight. You need multiple files, because different ones do different jobs, ditto the scissors and other items there. However, unless I'm mistaken, or we have identified your superpower, it is not humanly possible to use...

Again, this is the stuff of dreams for me. The boot of my FL1 is my tool bay *edit* oh and my long suffering parent's garage

That simple… ? AWESOME!

Just jump the starter spade terminal to crank the engine over. A minute of cranking will get oil everywhere it needs to be, including the turbo.

To be fair, I'm jealous of your set up too John. I'd be content with just a single man-shed full of crap :D

Nice. Now I've got my new workshop roof basically finished, I can sort out the mess, I mean tools that are all over the place, going rusty from the deluges they were getting through the winter.

That looks like a splendid, well organised, clean, well stocked garage. The stuff of dreams for me in my penthouse flat with an on-street parking space.

… and I tidied up my ‘go to’ basic car tool corner in the garage 🤩 I give it 3 months till I can’t find anything again

Well you know who had my current one...!

It's great isn't it.

Yeah, if I do recon the VCU it's definitely the drill and drain method. I'm in no way confident I could stick weld it back together. I hadn't considered having a shop do the fitting of bearings. That was my main concern as I don't have a press...

Freelander baggage. Window regs are definitely that! :p

If someone has been poking around and not managed to fix this, and you're bit by bit confirming the individual components, does this point to faulty wiring or damaged ECM(s) somwhere that is obviously difficult to find? Water ingress or something...
