    Gasket goes on dry, you can degrease the mating faces first if your so inclined.

    Dear Land Rover

    If your going to start playing with 3phase, make sure your mrs has a large wooden broom handle with a hook on the end and some life insurance for you :)

    Headlight reflectors for RHD car EU use

    If there isn't a switch to change them over, then check the logo on the top of the headlights themselves. If there isn't a lever fitted, the headlights should be ok for continental driving (as always refer to handbook)

    Baby Disco

    The DC100 was based on the T5 platform, meaning it shared the same chassis at the LR3/4 and the RRS up to 12MY. My guess would be they scrapped it as they aren't using the T5 in any new products and are moving away from it. Expect the new Def to be on a newer design chassis, one maybe already in...

    Dear Land Rover

    Who knows LR might have a electric motor built into the torque converter, creating a true electric 4x4 instead of the usual driven rear axle only :)

    Freelander 1 Quieter v6 running after main dealer visit

    They have probably just carried out a dtc clear. If there was the odd spurious dtc stored, which is very very common. Then clearing it might have altered some parameters inside the ecu, which were previously inhibited. Its extremely uncommon to have no soft fault dtc's stored. Comms errors...

    Power steering problem

    Isn't the more important question ; Since there is no actual mechanical fault with the powersteering rack, the reason its changed is due to poor flushing at manufacture. Then is the issue merely masked by the flush and the powersteering pump was changed for no reason? The reason I ask this...

    can somone give me a dummis guide to haldex units

    Yep does seem really strange to be able to carry out a temporary repair. Unless the pump is broken and they just hit it with a hammer to get it working again. Else I have no ideas.

    can somone give me a dummis guide to haldex units

    When you say its faulty. Can you clarify on exactly what the failure symptoms are? People also get confused by referring to the rear differential as the haldex, which isn't correct. The haldex sits between the prop and the differential, but isn't exactly part of the diff.

    1.8i engine removal

    Can do it with the IRD in if you really want to. Additional the bell housing bolts you can see easily. If you stick your head down the back of the engine behind where the inlet manifold is. You should be able to see a 15mm bolt near the knock sensor, which goes through the IRD into the...

    Alternatives to land rover tools

    Driveshaft removal is done with a hammer and a blunt chisel/punch. When you come to realign the rear diff. Tighten both rear mounts up. Then start the bolts on the front mount, lift it up to the midway position and tighten the bolts. That should do you fine.

    fault codes + will not start

    Uxxxx would be a ecu communication fault. Cxxxx wouldn't be a valid fault code. C is used to describe connector numbers. I would expect a Pxxxx code to explain your issue.

    They need to invest in a chassis ears.... Or atleast learn how to unbolt a prop and re-roadtest.

    Centre diff bearing fault?

    This is a quality concern issue. Technical Bulletins are issued when there is a concern that JLR are aware of and want to make the correct level of repair known. Before this bulletin was issued the correct level of repair was a differential assembly replacement, now a low level repair is...

    Sat Nav DVD location

    Erm........ If you have a Garmin isn't that mounted on your windscreen? Maybe im being daft. The genuine land rover sat nav is part of the touch screen display unit mounted in the centre of the dash. If you have it and sat nav through that screen then the dvd unit is access from the rear of...

    Freelander 2 rear diff problems

    In reguards to the Haldex, they have 2 filters. One main filter in the top and a gauze on the pump itself. I've seen cases where the pump has failed due to excessive build up of sludge. I don't think there is a service schedule either in reguards to changing haldex oil or filters. Land Rover...

    You want to get on the mailing list of your local main dealer. They constantly send out e-mails and letters about 'sales events'. These actually happen a hell of a lot, every few weekends, more often bank holiday weekends. These are used to try and shift a lot of used cars in a short...
