Nearly all after market hub nuts are larger across the flats and can't be tightened with wheel in place.......not a major prob but hey ho you get what you pay for. Jr stuff is ok I have used them several times

Which pump? Low pressure by the wheel arch or high pressure on the engine block?

You can try spraying it with freeze spray to cool it.

The switch plunger is normally set too long as it comes out of the packet........you need to push it in a little to reduce its length to make it fit else it hits the pedal and won't lock in place.........they are quite tight to adjust but will adjust, by the way if you push it in too far the...

There should be no pump in yer tank ...just a sender unit as below, Land Rover Freelander 1 2.O Di in tank fuel level sender (not a pump) | eBay You have a low pressure pump just forwards of the drivers side rear wheel and a high pressure pump on the engine block just above the dip stick by...

Easiest test would be to remove the whole prop and vcu .....then take it for a test to see if it makes any difference.

Yes it is only connected on one end and is clipped up behind the air filter housing

When it stalls does it feel as though the handbrake is on? Causing the hippo to come to a stop and stall?

My vcu bearings are still original at 88k......less about 10k that my prop was off whilst trying to find the source of a eventually found rear diff carrier bearing fault. I would expect anything supplied by bell to be as good as the originals. You say you had new tyres 15k ago.....was this all 4...

Pierburg is the right one to get

Hippo or nodge are yer best bet on this as they know more than most on the auto boxes

I think ses88 on here makes them

Try freel2.com, they have more knowledge on the freelander 2...and from what I've read there is someone from Landrover customer services on there who has been quite pro active in getting landrover to contribute to part or all costs on repairs in situations like yours.

It's always good for someone with a new outlook on how to do a job an easier way and add it to an existing thread.

Check the low pressure fuel pump is running just in front of drivers side rear wheel arch and also change the filter next to it if it has never been changed.

It could also be an injector problem....try disconnecting the tuning box as these will always enhance any problems with faulty or marginal injectors. I would normally agree with fuel pump as the engine warning light is coming on .....but with the missfire and black smoke... This is the same...

You shouldn't really get that much movement on the driveshafts if everything is bolted up correctly as the wheel is braced to the subframe at 2 points towards the diff and then one running towards the front of the car. Did you check the condition of all the diff mounts. Also what caused your...

If you have no pressure and your foot just goes to the floor...then you have a leak on the system somewhere.

Yep ..great programme I loved the way they played them.

For such a poor country.....you want to see all the high end cars around mombasa...... Mostly nicked and brought in through Saudi so I was told.
