I changed the auxiliary belt. It took pretty much all day! I still can't get over how much had to come out to get to it. Tensioner was cream crackered and what a joy the stretch belt is to install (not too bad actually but I don't love it) Had to sit and consider my life choices at one point.

What codes are you getting? That will tell you what it perceives to be the issue. "Suspension Fault" on the dash could be a hundred things.

Another reason I got so frustrated with them sadly. I always like to support local businesses but if they make it hard to do business, people will give up.

Ok, now seeing it in situ, I was wrong. The top one in your picture appears to be the exhaust as it is connected to the solenoid valve. What do you mean by "Suspension shutting off"? I get that you're frustrated with this but you really need to be clear on what is happening and what the...

Unlike my car where the compressor is inside, yours is under the car so the silencer is different. The piece in your hand (if I'm correct) has a plastic pipe going into it? Owing to the fact that your compressor could easily get submerged if you were a bit splash happy or wading too deep it...

Well, it's different to mine as your one lives outside the car it doesn't need to be as quiet. I assume you didn't buy a new compressor? If that piece flows air nicely then it should be fine and I expect your other one is too. Start with the basics. Take that part out of the currently...

Ah, the good old C1A13-64, a familiar friend of a code to me. I've learned a lot about that one. Most likely to be either the drier unit in the compressor or the noise suppressor from my experience. You say you've changed the compressor but was a new/refurb unit and did you change the...

They are just outside Maidstone BUT they don't allow any collections any more. It's really frustrating when your barber is at the end of their road, you're already there and they will only post the parts to you! Not got anything bad to say about them really but the frustration of it has made...

BMW would replace the block if it failed and that didn't have the issue so there must have been something wrong with the linings as the later/replacement ones were fine. I had a 996 C4S, they have their own special way of ruining the bore linings! Mine was fine (just to be clear) but I...

I own two L322s, my wife has a D4 and my brother is still driving the Sport we went halves on to turn a profit. Therefore I "technically own" 3.5 LRs. Absolutely NOT a brag, that's the realisation that I need to thin the herd before disaster strikes my wallet! (Again).

Have you swapped the ballasts from left to right? I'd give that a go also to see if the fault moves. @backinblack, that is some beautiful wiring right there! I can imagine the previous owner dusting his hands and congratulating himself on a job well done after that. You must have been...

I contacted the DVLA once about a plate that I wanted to buy as it was on my sister's first car (E68 FLY), doesn't mean anything really but it was pretty cool and I thought that as a family we might buy it for her as a gift if it was reasonably priced etc. Anyway, I knew that the little scrote...

Gtechniq C4 is the best stuff I've ever used for this. It's expensive but goes a long way. You need a bottle and a half roughly for a Mini so I'd guess about the same for a Freelander. This pic obviously was taken during application so you can see the difference. This picture was taken...

Car configuration file (I think). Basically the reference for it to know what is installed.

I just googled a fan clutch image. I think on our cars the fan is a viscous type with an electric motor in it to run when the A/C is on and that's part you are seeing there. Whatever happens I stand by my comments of not driving it if you have a load of play in that unit, if it fails it will...

That does sound like the compressor could be the culprit then if it's only providing 2/3 of what it needs. Does it run for a long time? I've not had this fault (yet) but I'm sure I've seen details on them overheating when they work so hard to get the pressure up. There's a rebuild kit...

I thought it was only the 3.0 that's had the bluetooth crankshaft, I have learned today (again).

It sounds like you're describing the viscous clutch. If that is wobbling I would stop driving the car as it will tear the water pump out. I've heard reports of them coming through the bonnet if they let go a high RPM too so yes, I'd suggest that is a big problem! Looks like this?

To remove the head unit, you will start at the sill plates and work towards it. I'm not joking either. Not actually that bad though.

Welcome, It's be good to see some pictures of your LR and get a bit of vague detail on your location etc. Nothing too accurate but it helps people to know if they are local to you or know of local support when you need a hand.
