    glow plugs dash light

    Ok, and since no error is recorded, how should I fix this almost problem? I'll check the presence of 12V on glow plugs at start. On a good working Td4, are they on at least a second even in summer, in order to be verified? Thank you Nodge.

    Oil feed pipe part no.

    Regarding head liner, I stitched mine with a upholstery stitcher and is ok after an year. If aligned, stitches look rather ok.

    I find also weird that my glow light never show, even in winter. I lit it only with diagnose software, so it works, but otherwise never. And it starts perfect in an instant.

    Freelander 1 2002 TD4 Whining rolling noise

    Cheers everybody! Lately (starting a few months ago) a whining noise is coming from transmission (looks from front to me) when in gear, usually 4th or 5th, when a transition occurs between traction and free rolling. Seems a bit louder when the motor is an extremely bit over the balance between...

    Freelander 1 {SOLVED] FL1 5-door Locked Out

    Some time ago I forgot the key in and closed the doors. A guy who opens locked cars put an air minipillow between the door and the pillar, inflated the pillow a bit and inserted a long wire to action the door button from dash. That was all. No broken windows. Cost only 30 pounds

    And please, do not mix chemicals. I wouldn't. So, no food grease. Let it in by itself. And by the pump, of course.

    I filled with a new, clean, grease pump. It is hard to measure. Silicone is so thick, it barely pours. You have to be pacient. You'll have thrust with 120ml. Too much of it, IRD broke will be, as Master Yoda said.

    If you open vcu by lathe, you'll have to weld carefully and maintain actual axis, including centring everything. That is to have technology at your shop. I did not. Otherwise you may end with some scrap metal. I bought a sh vcu that I did not have to use, as backup. So, if you are in a hurry...

    Perhaps the power transfer is less than initial design. But, the probability of breaking the IRD is smaller. I hope..

    And yes, perhaps 160ml, that is why I bought 200. But practice showed less, at least for me. Not saying is what should be.
