My wife was saying something about improving stiffness the other day

Boats that cost £400?

MOT on Wednesday and as post above from Colthebrummie I have replaced drop links which were adviseries last year and done everything I could see that looked dodgy; new discs, pads, greased things, but the fuel cradle needs replacing for sure. I am hoping that it will pass then do it in next few...

Concerned; MOT time is near

I can’t see any TD4 getting failed for not having an EGR unless the engine is trashed anyway. I think my TD4 was dirtier and emitted more with the EGR on.

Had mine done by a clutch place recommended by a friend who is also a mechanic. Looked like enormous scope to totally wreck the car for my limited skill set. Cost a fortune but trust my friends recommendation. Felt like I was wussing out though, but as Clint said; ‘a good man knows his limitations’.

There are some great threads on how to make a better sump guard yourself where you can change the plastic tray to metal (I used a bit of Chequerplate or something) then you only have to drop the plate off and can leave the 13 or something bolted frame in place. I think Alibro May have done it...

I had a problem with the HPF sensor; I kept having to disconnect it and clean it until I smeared some silicon grease to seal the plug after cleaning it. Been fine ever since and that was 2 years ago. I guess it was condensation forming basically.

Hi thanks for your response that is indeed the little chap. Forgive me if this is a dumb question but what does it do? I realise it’s an earth but can you explain to me what it does, I have tried to avoid doing anything electrical since trying to rewire British motorcycles when I was a lad and...

Puzzled about a wire...

Hi, I have looked but cannot find a previous answer to this. On my 06 plate TD4 FL there is a single wire attached to the fuel filter (the filter and pump are behind the rear wheel-that one) I have just changed the filter and have a suspicion the wire has not been connected for a while. I am...

Unplug the HP fuel rail connection, if it’s dirty or there’s any moisture fouling the connection really dry it out and clean it, then smear a thin bit of silicon grease on the sides of the plug so it is a moisture tight seal and plug it back together. Mines been ok for 2 years since I did it...

The worst mod is the official bizarre Freelander body kit. What is that all about? I have got a nudge bar, light guards front and back; LandroverFreelander spotlight kit (looks like Hurricane machine guns ha don’t care) Muddy Mods nice and small silencer; rock sliders; towbar and steps mounted...

I had the same problem. You may not like this. I unplugged the high pressure fuel rail sensor and noticed that although the plug is designed and supposed to be a moisture tight seal, it was a little damp. I cleaned it and made sure it was very dry because the problem was the ingress of moisture...

Hi, to clarify is this the guard that fixes to the rear door with a fixing kit covering the rear window or is it the guard that sits in the load space against the rear seats and is from the load space floor to the cabin roof and the total width of the cabin? Many thanks, Phil

Hi, it’s looking good indeed. Today I have fitted the soft top and stored away the hard top safely on my 3 door HSE. It is so good to have the top down on a beautiful sunny day; I love my Hippo! Also; passed MOT last week with 1 advisory, drop link rubber worn or something. Going to change the...

Or, maybe I need 1 less wife.....I cannot believe I wrote that haha she will kill me. Not really dearest love of my life, I was only joking honest. Please forgive you know I love you......

L I did think that it was nice that I remembered the same things ha. I do not think I had the same issues of things rubbing on my TD4 engine. Not yet anyway but I have not been allowed to use the car much lately. Wife using the FL to get to work. Selfish is what I say. Ok, maybe working from...

Just looked back on this thread and I said exactly the same stuff before haha. Probably will again too haha. Old git me.
