Hi, Just had a search on the internet for an exploded drawing of the pump. I can see that there are a number of O ring type seals under each of the pump chamber covers, so I'm guessing these are perished or worn. Looks like the whole lot's going to have to come out and be replaced if the garage...

Hi Redwood, Thanks again. I had another look this morning with the engine cover removed and the car completely cold. Fired it up and the diesel started to leak as far as I can see from the cover held in place by 4 torx screws on the top of the pump. Do you know if there is a gasket under this...

Hi Redwood, Thanks for the reply. When you say the injector pipes, do you mean the ones that are under the plastic engine cover running to the cylinder head ? There are also a couple of stainless steel pipes with rubber pipes attached which seem to come from the injection pump and are bolted...

Hi All, I know this is a well worn topic !! Went away in the Freelander this weekend and for once parked overnight on a smooth tarmac drive rather than the gravel at our place. When I stated it up in the morning, I noticed a big patch of growing diesel on the wet tarmac coming from the holes in...

Weird, got in it this morning any it's working again and I've not touched it !!!!

Hi Rooster, I've got exactly the same problem with my parking sensors - they won't work when wet. I suspect someone has power washed them and blown a seal. I tried to put some Captain Tolleys crack sealer silicone fluid into the possible leak points on a nice warm dry day when they were...

Hi Tiny1000, I'll give it a squirt of switch cleaner ! cheers,

Hi Saxavordian, Thanks for the suggestion, no I've not yet, as it was working fine yesterday. I'll whip off the panel off the other side (when it stops raining) and swap the switches over.

Hi Speckydude, thanks for the quick reply. Yes I did and I also checked the other 3 windows at the same time, which went up and down no problem. I can hear the wonky window switch click when I press it, but nothing happens.

Hi All, I've finally got around to changing the rubber window seals on my two rear side doors. Both have suffered from the filler moulded into the quarter-light rubber core 'blowing' and splitting the seals with all the chalky cr*p inside coming out inside the car. I removed the inside door...

Hi All, A quick update on what I finally decided. I managed to get a set of 4 Bridgestone Dueller 689 tyres fitted at less than £70 each. I had 3 sets of these on my Hilux before and got 60k miles+ per set and did a lot of heavy towing and i never lost the tail in the wet no matter how hard i...

Hi Diesel Do, I agree with your logic, but it does seem daft that you have to trick the car into behaving like a front wheel drive vehicle to preserve the drive train ! All the best, Perkins

OK - so if I've got this right - if I put just two new ones on the back exactly the same as the slightly worn old ones on the front I can happily go round corners all day long. If I put a whole set of new ones on I can drive up and down the M6 until I meet myself coming back the other way but...

Hi Trax, Thanks for the reply. When you say 5mm is the max allowed do you mean 5mm difference in rolling diameter or circumference ? Forgot to mention that my car is a 2005 model. Cheers.........

Hi All, Thanks for the replies. I know tyres are critical and have read lots of the threads, but my question was really if I fitted two new Pirelli Scorpion STRs on the rear and put the older Pirelli STRs on the front, would a tread difference of 2mm be critical ? In essence the ones I'm...
