will keep you updated... it should be getting done on Monday providing it wasn't something else that caused the slave to fail... though i hadn't had any problems previously with the clutch, and the guy from the garage did say the plastic was very brittle. and because i realized i've posted...

well, it was the slave, the garage i went to (moss tyres in york) have given an estimate of £150, but they're gonna contact me monday... looking on fleabay, i've noticed these... HKT1134 BORG&BECK CLUTCH 3-IN-1 CSC KIT L/Rover Freelander TD4 | eBay good/bad? considering some of the clutch kits...

well it wasn't stone cold... it just didn't feel overly warm... :-s

he couldn't tell where it was from, just that when he refilled it, it emptied again just as quickly... and hmm, may need to look at a hire car for next week :-p

and when i say problems, i mean my clutch no longer works... just had to be towed back to my house. was coming out of the train station after dropping my parents off, and the clutch pedal dropped right to the floor, the car juddered, jerked and then stalled. when the RAC guy came, he told me my...

will clean the oil off tonight ready for my drive tomorrow.... checked the temp again tonight as soon as i got back on camp... 30 mile drive at 40-60mph.... no heat... could it possibly be a wheel bearing? what do they sound like when they're on their way out?

well, felt the vcu after a 30mile drive, alot of it at 40-60mph (after i'd spent about 5 min in shop) but it wasn't remotely warm to the touch... will do the torque test at the weekend when i have time... but for now, heres a picture i took when i heat checked the vcu... is that oil meant to be...

As i was driving to wellingborough yesterday, i noticed a high pitched whine slowly grow louder as i accelerated past 20mph, continuing up to 60mph where it sat at a steady pitch i could hear over the engine noise. i've also been noticing a bit of shuddering in the steering when cornering, and...

changed a rear window regulator (with alot of difficulty) then took off the 1000s of meters of ducktape that had been holding my window up...

Not desperate, but i've not found them being sold by anyone else and it's what i wanted instead of the usual roof spots or A bar mounts. Decided to go for a sealent instead of the sticky backed seal... It'll just peel off when i need to change the bulbs.

well, i spoke to chris on the phone today, and have emailed him the pictures of the various problems. he was very nice about it, and we will be sorting it all out when i get off exercise in 2 weeks... i've already worked out how to fix the gap problems, i'm gonna leave the tape round the lights...

yup, just you :-p

buy from a dealer! i didn't and it's cost me two new fuel pumps, a knackered 2nd gear synchro (need new gearbox), a non working (currently taped) rear passenger window and anything else that decides to go wrong in the near future :-p the rear boot space isn't massive, but the seats fold...

wired in a bonnet light pod... despaired at the poor fit :(

well I come back off exercise on Wednesday so am gonna contact mm then, as said they probably don't make them themselves but i still expect a certain standard... other than the aesthetics, they work fine... I've hooked them through a switch (provided in the wiring kit) to my full beams. it was a...

tried ringing today but was too late as they closed at 3, will have to wait till Wednesday till I'm free again. i fitted the pod to my bonnet and found similar sized (2-3mm) gaps between the pod and bonnet as well... a lot of black insulation tape later and it doesn't look toooo bad and...

cheers, shall ring tomorrow.

i've just taken delivery of, and started the assembly of the mm4x4 freelander bonnet light pod, and i must say i'm rather disappointed with what i've got.... it's a fiberglass construction with standard ring round driving lamps, which i find rather cheap considering it's price tag... another...

cheers for the replies, i'm gonna get the VMs back at camp to have a look at fitting the kit for me... if it needs the pins, i'll buy the pins... if it needs the wing cutting i'll cut it... if it doesn't work, i'll go for the 1" lift :o fitted my new 16"ers last night on 225/75R16 bridgestone...

Alliteration aside, i managed to pick up a really cheap (£10) but massively worn out "bull bar" today when i went to pick up some cheap (£150 for 5) 16" alloys. This bull bar is rather rusty under it's wierd plasticised coating, and missing a bolt/spacer and the two lower brackets. My...
