As to the fuse panel this is also available from maplin ATC Fuse Panel With Cover : Solar Accessories : Maplin Reg's idea is good but I would only connect one extra wire to the terminal to connect to this device which is rated at 300A continuous 1000A peak and use the stud to connect the...

When you get access to the lock assembly you will around the barrel a separate plastic ring with a socket on the back. This is the pickup coil for the immobiliser that energises the transponder in the key head and is nothing to do with the fob. The fob is primarily to arm the alarm system...

Thought for a sec it was a a 6R4, now that would have been interesting!:D

As I said the Freeby has a higher download than most at 145Kg (Disco is 150), 75Kg is common for a car but I agree it looks too much. The best stability with a caravan is achieved when you are close to the rated maximum. Alko hitches on caravans are normally rated at a maximum of 100Kg anyway...

In part to answer my own question, the thin red wire which is not on the circuit diagram is the switch illumunation. Think I've actually got two problems, the rear window inhibit switch is not closing so the door switches won't work. The other is the right rear mechanism has siezed although I...

Towball download is rated at 145Kg (which is more than many). Due to moment of action that is also defined by the distance behind the mounting points. As this mass is considerably further back than a towball I would agree that it could well be over the limit. The vast majority of the load...

We use to paint them with a rubber based underseal and then cellulose paint. The underseal would take the knocks and as the cellulose was flexible it didn't crack. Did the same with the engine bay and it always looked immaculate.

Aerodynamics.... The flat back of the 5 door produces a significant recircultion of air at a slightly lower pressure behind the vehicle which travels with it. Air flowing under the floor will lift the exhaust gases up into that area and a percentage will enter through the back window...

Couple of questions about the wiring on my 03 Td4 5 door I am investigating why the rear drivers side will not work at all and the rear passanger side will only work from the front switch only as if the console inhibit switch is depressed (its not). What I find is when the former switch in...

Bunch of bleedin' pyromaniacs on here:flame:

Gave the inside of me freeby a clean for the 1st since buying it 6 months ago. How come they collect so much crap inside so quickly:confused:

The middle one is a 1948 Saracen APC with the suplimentary NBC ventilation and a .30 Browning MG in the turret. The TA were still using them when I was in the Yeomanry in '74

Clarkson would call that "brilliant":doh:

Curious about where you saw the term integral roll bar. If it is in formal LR documentation then yes it should be able to withstand rollover, after all that is what a roll bar does. It may be however somebody elses description as an interpretation of a strengthened monocoque shell. I think it...

Like you I was initially willing to replace the VCU as £400 for one versus £,000 for a diff/ird was no contest. The fact is providing there is good smooth movement in the VCU it will at least act as a shock absorber in the drive train anyway. I think once it locks up you lose that action and...

I posted a similar question last year when I got my Freelander and seemed to get conflicting responses to the same symptoms. Having looked at some detail about how the VCU works and done various tests to try and convince myself that there was nothing wrong I came to the conclusion that the...

I have just done the same on mine. There is no cable in the loom of a high enough current to drive a full 12S socket. I bought a rear power amp wiring kit to give me a 30A cable, fuse holder etc. As has been said under the trim is fairly straightforward, I included a couple of additional cables...

Black housing in amongst the injectors, you have to remove the injector loom to get access.

Two screw as hippos says just behind the steering wheel. The third hole further forward is not a screw but just a trim popper. Spent 5 minutes trying to work out why I couldn't ket a screwdriver to fit:confused: The top half just clips to the bottom but you would need to lower the wheel to...

A Freeby may be lightweight in LR terms but compared to a Fiesta its still a bit of a tank. It don't take much of a lead foot to do great damage to the MPG. My higher numbers are much more the chaufeur driving than boy racer.
