Hi, I have done a search but not found any threads that are a perfect match, so here goes... I recently replaced all the speakers in my wife's Freelander 1 (all of the coils were held in place by rust, so no wonder there wasn't much volume!) and removed the Harnon Kandon (?sp) amp from under...

It would appear that the bits that support the glass (best guess) had caught on the harness, pulling one door-switch wire out at the connector, breaking the ground to the numberplate lights and twisting the blade-connectors for the heated rear window until the connectors broke free. A bit of...

Deep joy!

Thanks. I've just tried that and there is no change. It still pops back up if my fingers leave the handle switch. Cheers Hugh

Hi, The tailgate on my wife's 5 Dr '05 Td4 is misbehaving. With the door shut and the handle pulled, the glass drops from the channel and the door can be opened. With the door open, releasing the handle makes the glass pop up again, ready to be smacked into the outside of the channel when the...

Sorry - I was a bit ****ed!

Ahh, I thought that the random fault generator was based on the time and the weather... :)

Silly question (so standby with silly answers), but can anyone tell me what the left hand button/rod on the speedo of my wife's '05 Freelander is supposed to do? The right-hand one toggles between ODO and Trip readings and, if held in, resets the trip reading to zero. The left-hand one...

Thanks! :)

A quick question... On the Range Rover Classic, in which position should the headbolt with the stud be placed on the LH head? (Everything is in bits at the moment, so holding the lifting eye / steering pump in place doesn't help!) Thanks Hugh

A good plan... A few minutes effort of styling some weld-lines into the filler is usually worth the effort too! :)

Grrrr. Just discovered a hole in the corner of the passenger footwell next to the front of the bellhousing (by the clutch cylinder) in my Discovery 1. Its about the size of a 50p piece and would be difficult to get to (or see) with the engine in. Anyway, as it is on the corner, would I have...

Thanks. Got them all and the engine is now out. (The top two were easy as the heads were off and lifting the engine and removing the engine mount rubbers allowed the engine to be dropped so I could get at them)

A quick question if I may. On a manual, V8 EFi 200-series Discovery, how many bolts secure the engine to the bell-housing? I think I have found six or so, but how many need to be sitting in the empty margarine tub under the car before I can shift the engine? Thanks Hugh

Great plan - thanks!

Hi, A 'quick check' of the 3.5i V8 in a recently acquired Discovery I has turned into: a pile of cleaned parts; a pile of new parts; the block / pistons / crank left in the car. Both head gaskets had been blowing exhaust gases and cooked the oil so I really want to get the block out and...

Thank you both - now I know where it goes I can see there is a little gap into which it fits - I'd put that down to build quality! Sypher, it takes a while for these things to get noticed. She only gets serviced once a year and that's only when the lubrication has run out and bits start...

Hi, This is a somewhat embarassing first post - I have been playing with the tailgate on my wife's 05 Freelander and found a bit left over.... :doh: She had a bit of bother with the tailgate not latching, but the rear window still going up into the window seals. The local main-stealer told me...
