    Anyone got any thoughts on this? I didn't remove the master cylinder to a point where brake fluid comes out, but maybe with the moving it around I need to bleed the master again?

    Welp. I replaced the brake booster and it's worse... Now the first 7/8th of the pedal has no resistance and it won't build pressure, I tried to adjust what looks like an adjuster screw in the brake booster but it has not worked, when the engine...

    Looks about right to me. It's more important that the O2s switch between high and low regularly, rather than the exact value reached each switching cycle.

    So didn't get a chance to look at the water pump, however, Managed to plug in my Pscan to log the current O2 sensor. As explained to me by @pscan.eu the O2 sensor should fluctuate between 0.2V and 0.9V Where 0.44V is a missing / wiring fault...

    Not from the water pump, it just drips out. I also had a leak from a plastic hose fitting that had me worried on one car.

    Hopefully you have the coolant leak sorted but if still loosing a little, they also commonly loose coolant at the water pump so look out for leaks there.

    Honestly, same goal over here, more for green-laning than "off roading" the freelander would not handle it, but if you're up to the task chuck in the same engine, you could probably get an early pre-2001 engine for cheaper, I've got a guide on...

    The diesel struggles off road without low range to get up steep hills so the petrol will be worse. For green laning or off road racing racing they are good but not so much for extreme off roading.

    Just a quick update on this one, I don't think (fingers crossed) it is still losing coolant, however, I think in the time it was, it has inadvertently fried the O2 Sensor? Would that be possible with enough Coolant going through the exhaust? (On...

    That's the intake filter, it's there to keep debris out of the vacuum system. If the hissing continues while the brake pedal is pressed, then the diaphragm in the booster has split.
