never heard of them.......but then again ive never needed the parts your after lol like i said,find out what part you need 1st(my £ is on the vcu)then take it from there.....good luck/pleasure to be of use

always use 1st gear to pull away.....easier on clutch/engine etc....then as with most engines use as higher gear as poss to save wear on the engine....but believe me in the long term......pull away in 1st

forget the above......dunno what came over me.......i cant think of a single reliable MP

speaking as someone whos bought/sold many a freelander.....DONT! diesels arent too bad at younger age than your seeking,,,,,,but a petrol at that age?.......i can think of MPs that are more reliable than a 10 year old freelander!

youve had it a few weeks and everything works? and your certai it says RANGE ROVER on the back? Well give that man a cigar...i bow my head i respect sir and am beating myself with a wet fish as we speak.......but somehow i doubt il be rushing out to buy one just yet myself lol :)

without actually seeing the car its hard to decide if its the coupling or the ird....and to be honest im tinking more'coupling'from what you said in later texts....your ird is probably safe for now....itl no doubt be storing that prob for a later date lol..i wouldnt advise driving it as a prop...

defender bars are only a quarter of four times the weight of the bar.....freelanders are half twice the weight....a disco averages out at around a third of three times the weight......and a range rover? who cares!

the specs of different models/years etc

tapped.....an old medical term....it removes the water from the brain

:5bparty: welcome aboard

doh......another RR to the slaughter lol... :welcome2: only had it a day eh,smething tells me we wil hear alot from you in the coming weeks lol

no contest....ones a big powerful turbocharged four wheel drive monster.......the others a bit of japcrap

your the first person ever to come in here and say they want to lower a disco..............most want to lift em so high the red arrows divert around them!

twas only teasing.....the discos a great truck too,in many ways its better than a defender(but i wouldnt say that in here)...just look carefully before you buy,then once youve got the one you decide on then its only your imagination/pocket that limits what you want to do with it

welcome.....and good choice of LR

i wouldnt like to make a call between auto/manual....both can give probs as with any make of car...the world is full of used discoverys.....there everywhere from private sales to main dealer outlets and at the moment prices are lower than jane goody so go and veiw a few others and look them over...

you say it kept running even when you turned the ignition off.....usually when a diesel engine runs away like that its because its feeding off its own oil.....engine oil......now be that up through a breather or whatever i suggest the blown turbo is just the end result as its spinning away with...

the list is long with a discovery....and even longer with a TD5 lump fitted.....but being mechanicly minded il spare you the obvious things to check.....in a nutshell,under the boot floor carpet...sills...inside rear door arches...inner front wings/bonnet slam panel....engine wise check for...

what your describing there is a viscous coupling....cheaper than an IRD and it sounds like yours is knackered......so id have an independent garage take a look at it and get a price for a fix with part supplied.....then ask your other half what price he can get one for through his long list of...

that will be the killer for TD5s.....why buy a nice shiny TD5 and pay twice the road tax,when the TDi is a better buy,doesnt depreciate as fast....is the same car but with a better engine........its a no brainer to me
