Bought two repair kits now from e-crofting for the front windows, they are great value and if you follow the instructions will last a lifetime.

Yes, and if nothing seizes or breaks while the job is being done!!! Fixed quote is the way.

Book time is about 6 hours to replace the clutch...... I would get a fixed quote as the book times can be wildly short.

Just a quick update, spline in final drive carrier has definately failed, just need to remove IRD now and check condition of input shaft to IRD. Looks like either i strip the box and replace the carrier assembly or pick up another box. A big thankyou to Home - Bell Engineering i suggest you...

Ok so i've now removed the prop and vcu checked the oil in the IRD and have no drive in 2wd!!! After an informative chat with Bell Engineering, it was explained to me that my fault probably lies with the final drive carrier splines in the gearbox. This would be a £174 part from Landrover, or...

Silicone Turbo Hoses for Freelander TD4 Get these...... Continuing to run your engine with a split hose will put unnecessary strain on your turbocharger. Also you'll have a great deal more performance when you replace it. If you intend on keeping the car a while get the silicone hoses...

I used Roy Mackays repair kit from eBay, and although sceptical about glueing the ends on it has worked a treat. My OSF window stuck half way up ( it had been grating and was aware of the reg issue) so i purchased his kit. After reading the very comprehensive instructions i removed my reg to...
