    Freelander 2005!

    Well that home made duct tape panel under my wheelarch has stayed in place longer than the factory fit item and still no mud pouring out from under my headlight anymore. :D Remember - the Titanic was built by thousands of experts - the Ark was built by one amateur. ;)

    Diesel cold start(won't!)

    Freelander 2005!

    Or a Saturday morning after the night before when after the party the technician found his wife in bed with his brother and came in to work to find all his tools stolen apart from his trusty ajustable spanner and a roll of duct tape.:D

    Diesel cold start(won't!)

    Its true. Don't worry about it Yella - I keep atanding in the kitchen wondering what I came in for. :D Glad the relay has made some difference! Could be worth checking those silly clips on the fuel pipe where they attach to the rubber hoses too...

    V6 Head Gasket Failure

    Ha, yeah - I have now worked out how to do ANYTHING without removing the belly pan! :D I can vouch for Ming though - he's a Zog lad through and through!

    V6 Head Gasket Failure

    Nah, I make it up as I go along! No, the reason I ask is that the dealers looked at me funny when I asked their advice. I just replaced a HUGE mass of pipes under Tiny's bonnet and when I picked up the new part I asked how much coolant I should expect to need. They said 5 litres of coolant and...

    V6 Head Gasket Failure

    Hi Clutchdust - sorry to hijack this thread but I have just dropped and refilled my coolant in my L Series. Does the same apply regarding bleeding? I refilled with the bleed screw removed and ran for 30 mins or so with it back on and losened the screw again when warmed up to expel any air. 3...

    Took tiny on a course in North Yorkshire a few years back in her younger days. Its true - Hippo's really can prove their green oval badge is not just for show!;)

    Damn right. I just came close to shelling that out for a 1969 rolling shell. (did have the magical "s" on the log book though)

    Wheel Squeak

    No problem and good luck. Let us know how you get on.:)
  16. tinytdi

    Wheel Squeak

    Yeah. Sounds exactly the same. In the wet - silent. In the dry it would be silent from cold until the brakes warmed up and then it would get gradually worse the hotter they got to the piont where pedestrians were turning round to look as I approached!! I feared the wheel bearing but a good...

    leaky fuel tank?

    Oh no - Biggles is at it again! :D You still able to reload and re-arm a spitfire in under 3 mins Ste? ;)

    Wheel Squeak

    I had this exact problem :mad: - once warmed up I would get "squeak squeak squeak..." especially on left hand turns. I stripped the calipers, cleaned everything up and the noise went...for a week then..."squeak squeak squeak". The noise would stop if i so much as touched the brake pedal. I...

    Freelander 2005!

    Go on John - give us a rap...:D Nah, semi-seriously - It seems like the luck of the draw if you have a lemon or a minter but with the help of these guys if problems do arise we should be able to help you get things right. Every car has its problems and the hippo is no exception but personally I...

    Calling Clutchdust et al re: Preventative Maintenance

    The multiglide is actually made for auto boxes but suits the freelander manual box better than the manual stuff due to the centrifugal overtrive mechanism. It should be fine in the auto box. The only problem with it is its viscocity - its a bugger to put in unless you warm it up first!:rolleyes...
