    7 Seats???

    All the previous replies are dead right, you should not even be thinking of putting seats where they are not meant to be. It is probably one of the only add ons that is totally illegal, and could result in prosecution, much the same as kids sitting on beer crates. I would continue using two cars...

    Remedy for wet cubby.

    Before shelling out for new seals etc try this, if it's only the cubby hole that is wet inside drill some holes in the lid, it has worked for me. It was a build up of condensation on the under side of the lid that was the problem, it didn't happen in the warmer months, but after having the...

    Help! - Where are my glow plugs??

    Hello matthew maddock, you'll find reference to the glow plugs on page 12-1-19 under gasket cylinder head manual models on the rave disc, it's a bit obscure maybe thats why LR techs have so much trouble.

    Help! - Where are my glow plugs??

    Hi geetee, you will find the glow plugs on the inlet side of the head, they are fitted between the inlet valves and have a cable off the top of each one.

    Thanks Zippy for being man enough to say all that. You are of course dead right, and it does apply to all dealers, the whole after care set-up is a complete farce and the sooner the authorities start an investigation the better!! Motorists get ripped off enough, and deserve a better deal. One...

    So this is what it all comes to these days,(fully trained or not) if it's not working take it out,blank it off,throw it away or bodge it. This is why I do my own repairs etc, who knows what "fixes" garages do and charge the earth for. Why is it hundreds of folk never have any egr problems...

    I agree mate, what most people seem to be after these days is a "quick fix" nobody want's to find out where or why all this c--p is in the system in the first place. As you quite rightly said, properly set up injectors and another very important thing the oil being used and it's correct level...

    Well said,if it needs all sorts of stuff to bodge it up why have it in the first place? It's there for a reason, if you have problems guys get them sorted properly. I've spent the greater part of my working life in operations positions for a major oil refinery, anything that burns needs air (02)...

    Fuel filter on Td4.

    Hi again Michael, one of the black tubes has the filter inside it and the other has the fuel pump. The one for the pump has electrical connections on one end, the filter has only in and out pipes. The other bit you saw is the sedimentor you can drain this but you will need a new sealing washer...

    Fuel filter on Td4.

    Hi Michael, yes it's on the drivers side rear, you will see two 10mm bolts undo them and with a bit of fiddling the unit will come out. Be prepared for a bit of a job to get the old filter out of it's housing, I found that if you cut a hole in the end of the black plastic, you can easily get a...

    Wet Boot

    Hi, have any of you noticed this wet boot during the summer months? My boot is as dry as a cork until the cold frosty weather starts, so I had a look and found the cubby hole soaking, but the rest of the boot completely dry, I then noticed the under side of the cubby lid was dripping with...

    fed up with bad news

    Dear Vossie, this is the Freelander forum, it only talks about Freelanders, the site has other forums for Discoverys,Range Rovers,Defenders,etc etc. If you want to comment on other vehicles then you'd be better off looking elsewhere. We all have the vehicles we want, don't see much else on the...

    Give us time Yella Disco man, mine has the BMW engine and is doing ok, used every day for all sorts of stuff, (no school runs, kids have own cars now) and all types of driving, service it myself and can't see why it shouldn't reach your kind of mileage.

    Well done Treev, that write up was the most common sense article I've read on this forum for days. Thank goodness there are still some genuine Land Rover folk on this site. Sorry to hear about the V6, but youv'e got the next best thing, drove loads of them during my army days in the 60's.

    Talking about hairdressers, isn't your Disco some kind of salon custard colour. It's time you and slob started your own forum, so the rest of us can get on with what this one is all about. Zippy has the right idea!!
