Its a car engine not a tractor engine

Filling the washer bottle up and noticed a puddle (small) of oil at bottom of engine. Can't have been leaking too long cos not much evidence of it on drive. Couple of pics here if anyone can point me in the right direction. Leak seems to come from drivers side below/behind pulley belts. Mad Hat...

Well why does it tell you in the handbook to run the A/C for at least ten minutes every week even in winter to keep it operational. Think mine is like Mondo says and only comes on with switch pressed in and fan at least on 1:confused: :confused:

What you got to swap MHM, cos it wont be the V6. If you have summit chunkier like a Hummer in your garage too, I might think about it. Seeing the way a lot of cars keep out the way of a Land Rover I would love to meet some of the snot noses in their souped up hatches on a tight bend with a...

Cheers Mondo, just trying to drum up a wee bit of support for the "Good Ones". Mad Hat Man I know from reading the forum that you have had a nightmare with the V6 and I know others have had major grief and it's cost a lot of you a fortune to try and put right. Maybe I have been lucky , but it's...

I keep telling you lot not all Freelanders are crap. Some of us treat them like sh*t, very little maintenance and they just keep going. Sure the mpg averages about 30 but most folk would know this before spending thousands of pounds. If they didn't know before they bought one they must be thick...

I've been saying this on a few threads now, most people post their problems on the site, but there will be many more who are quite happy with their motor but just like the banter on site. As I have said before my 1.8 petrol has been fine over the past 3 years except for a few minor niggles...

With apologies to all those who have serious problems with their hippos, I would like to bang the drum a bit for the good hippos out there. Just had mine serviced, new timing belt fitted, new MOT and the whole lot cost me 200 quid. This is the only money I have laid out on repairs or mantainence...

If the guy has time to send you a cheque, then he has the time to get the funds from the bank and come see you with cash in his pocket. This sounds like the scams usually found on ebay. I wouldn't touch his cheque with the proverbial barge pole. Doesn't matter how much you want rid of your 110...

Cheers Mondo. Previous years certificate had usual clauses but this was an extra that appeared in addition to the usual ones. I wondered if this was a new direction the insurance companies were taking. May have to phone around before renewing this year, cos there was no mention about it until...

Appreciate what you are saying, but what about the likes of an official LR day, or something similar? Anyway was just curious if anyone else had the clause or is it just Esure?

On a slightly different angle, my insurance is with Esure. When this years renewal came through there was a clause stating that I would not be covered for " Organised 4x4 off road events". According to them I can go off road as long as it is not "organised". With Yella and others going off to...

Ive got to agree with Yella Disco about the supermarket fuel. Years back I had a car that would not tick over if filled from Safeways. It was only occasionally I filled there and took a little time to work out that was the problem. When I filled up at a Shell garage yhere was no tick over problems

Get some before and after pics and keep everyone posted on your progress. Good luck with the project..Rock

Well looking at Clutchdusts list I still have quite a few things to look forward to if I keep running the model (1.8) that I have, but even though I have came across a few of them I think I must have got off pretty lightly over the last three years... Hope it continues for the next three...Rock

DVLA already have details of which cars have proper documentation. With new online facility for taxing your car it is obvious they have both MOT and insurance details or they could not issue a tax disc online.. Rock http://www.dvla.gov.uk/whats_new/Taxing_online.htm :)

Welcome to the forum Weety, Hang in there for a while and some of the more technical guys will probably come back to you with some advice

When it came time to change tyres after I'd had the car a while I remembered reading somewhere that the Goodyear Wranglers which were already on the car were the best choice by far and so thats what I did. Was it the right choice? I get mine through Black Circle at 89 quid fitted. Is this a...
