    My New Project

    Is that stick on decorative trim or a factory option on the front bumper corner trims, not seen that one before but it looks good.

    Electrical injector noise on HF radio help required

    99.9% sure that'll be injector QRM, get up into 3rd or 4th, leave it in gear and take your foot off the gas, the interference will stop. Dip the clutch and when the revs bottom out the interference will start again. As far as I know there's no absolute cure for it due to the inaccessibility of...

    Radio problem (Navigation)

    A lot of these head units need a button push to reveal a hidden menu. A quick Google throws up pressing preset 1 and 0 for 8 seconds works on some older Becker units. If you've already found the service menu and it's showing Harware and Software? is USA maybe it can't be done unless you know it...

    CB Radio advice,

    Handheld CBs can be a bit bulky nor are they ideal for mobile use, either you'll end up with a load of cables coming off it for power, aerial and mic or it'll be a contortion trick to use inside with the long flexi aerial. I'd be inclined to get decent mobile rigs fitted and keep a pair of cheap...

    Radio problem (Navigation)

    Does MW step in 10kHz? Sounds like it's in USA mode but no idea how to change it if it is.

    Leaking sun roof. Grrrr

    I've just done mine, as the rooflining was out I've given it all a spring clean as I went. I wasn't going to remove the carpet but I ended up removing the 3rd seats to replace with storage bins so decided to take out the carpet for a good hoover. Glad I did, where it's been wet for so long there...

    Bargain tracker...

    It might help track an amateur but I reckon any self respecting pro would immediately spot the not very covert GPS antenna (and no satnav display) and rip it out rendering any positioning software useless. Good idea in theory and the GPRS/cell dipole could be buried in the dash but I'd want to...

    Red Connector

    Blimey, pop that white cover off, I bet it's full up underneath. Mine was nowhere near that bad on top and causing problems. With so much in the plug I'd open up the ECU and check it's not filling that up as well.

    Dynamat Fitting

    When I fitted a new audio system to my Freelander I looked into using Dynamat to reduce panel vibration. After recommendation from a few ICE forums I ended up going to Unipart and getting a similar product from Brown Brothers. Not sure if it's still available but it rated well against Dynamat at...

    Clutch juddering

    I swear mine has done this since we drove it off the forecourt and assumed it was just another part of its character or my dodgy driving :rolleyes:

    EGR.. Should have done it ages ago.

    Now's the time to get some copper grease on the manifold bolts so when you do remove it it'll be an easy job. More than happy with doing mine, the improved power when I accelerate up the hill to home is so obvious even SWMBO noticed it.

    Range rover TV

    Yes, all analogue TV has been switched off, the country is now entirely digital. You'll need to source either a digital tv (Freeview) tuner compatible with your kit or find a 12V STB with an analogue modulator output or fit a seperate one from the Scart output. DVB as a transmission standard...

    Spot lamp aux switch

    If it doesn't, use a fog lamp switch and hide one of these behind the dash. 12v to one side of the switch the other side wired to the pulsed input of the board, take the latching output to your spot lamp relay switched input and also back to the switch to power the LED. Latching relay board (...

    Which shocks to chose.

    I'd not seen those Super Gaz ones before, thanks for the link. So in general gas gives a better ride than oil or a firmer one, thinking on road and not off?

    Which shocks to chose.

    Last year I got an advisory about the front shock bushes and I didn't do a lot about it TBH. Giving the back end a shove today it bounced up and down a few times before stopping so it's probably fair to say the original shocks are a bit tired, 90K miles on an 04, SLS but no ACE. I don't off road...

    Novice CB Help

    If the SWR reads higher on 40 than it does on 1 then it's too long. If the SWR meter doesn't have a captive patch lead make sure it's plugged in the correct way round. If you have access to a multimeter you could check the cable from plug to aerial socket that there is continuity on the inner...

    air suspention

    Both mine went with a few weeks of each other. If I parked on the flat road outside they'd be at normal height in the morning, if I parked on my drive facing uphill both would be down on the stops. As someone who barely knows one end of a spanner from the other replacing them is really straight...

    CB of Choice?

    Unless you really want new Ebay and Gumtree has hundreds of second hand ones starting around 20 quid, a Uniden 100 for £35 is worth a punt.

    New ECU and now getting 135 MPH

    Only TD5 I saw that did 135 was at the bottom of Beachy Head, only did it the once though.
