But if it's still available why bother upgrading....my last one was good fo 65k.

As far as I can remember this is the one fitted to mine. LandRover Freelander Brake light pedal switch XKB000010 | eBay

2004 facelift you can just by the switch.

If the gear stick moves around a lot whilst the engine is running t,his is normally due to a fecked engine mount.

Agreed.....although it also led to a noisey power sterling pump followed by it failing and if they changed the pump and didn't change the filter it would soon knacker the new pump. Have a look at the drop links as suggested though as it may be something that simple.

The grinding noise could be the vcu bearings....as said before remove the prop to confirm this. As for the banging noise it could well be the rear diff bushes.....normally the nose one goes first and can cause it to bang under braking and acceleration.

So you have diesel on the undertray?. This normally comes from the high pressure pump...located on the engine block behind the oil filter by the left hand engine mount. In cold weather you will find on first sart up in the morning doozle will leak from the piston caps for about 30 seconds until...

Try the rear diff bushes.....usually the nose one that goes first.......or have you checked all the exhaust hangers for the back box are in place.

Have you checked that there is power going to the glow plugs?

Totally agree....... Unless you have a roveron box fitted and set on max as this will give the same symptoms.

Shag off.....I used to take the **** out of my dad when he did this until I did it myself......luckily empty tank, got to £10 of petrol before it clicked and then tipped the tank with diesel for the next 5days. We have 3 cars and 2bikes with the hippo being the only one a doozle and you just...

Ok, has it been taking longer to start during cranking recently? You say you have fuel coming out at pressure on cranking...so I assume fuel pumps are ok...my next step would be to do a leak back test on the injectors and or get it code read to see if it comes up low fuel pressure which would...

Let the engine cool and then try starting it again......to rule out camshaft sensor.

Have you checked the plug under the drivers seat?

Are the uj's not available?

Fair enough...just going off early Peugeot abs where we had to do this else it could feck things up. Even now our 180 gti Peugeot is meant to be bled hooked up to peugeot planet

Really?.....I'd rather play it safe.

What James is saying is that the leak is most probably coming from the front of the diff where the prop attaches and then running to the back of the diff when driving. As he says just keep your eye on the oil level for the short term.

Check electrics terminals are clean and tight first........mine were really bad the other week causing non starting.....else there is a solenoid kit available on eBay......just tell him the more he fixes the less there is to go wrong.

My linkage from the master cylinder to the clutch peddle used to move to one side and then clunk when it moved back......fitted a circlip and plastic washer to keep it in place about three years ago. When it moved to the side it would be harder to change gear as the master cylinder was at a...
