    Any experience of the AA or RAC?

    I'be been using the RAC for years. Always had excellent service when I've had to call them out. As others have said , make sure you know what level of cover you are buying. Mine covers the caravan as well as the car, both recovered to where I want if they can't be fixed by the roadside. Longest...

    What annoys you most about non-landrover drivers!

    You need to re read the highway code. The vehicle joining the motorway should adjust their speed to join the traffic without causing the traffic already on the motorway to slow down or speed up.

    4x4 Rebuild

    Do you know why it was removed? Any of the IRD, VCU or carrier bearings could be knackered

    Oil Change

    This lot will do it for £49 Xpress Oil & Filter Change - IN'n'OUT Kwik Fit will do it for a similar price. Both probably less than buying the oil and filter and doing it yourself.

    Help! My Landy is running rough!

    You could just bypass the sedimentor with some standard fuel pipe from Halfords. By the way, the fuel pump that might need replacing is the lift pump on the on the side of the engine, should be 20 or 30 quid at the most. Something you could try is to put a bit of clear pipe between the lift...

    water going straight into oil sump

    This doesn't make much sense. Does he mean "no water in the oil cooler". If so, how does he know?

    Help with my first Landy

    New cars need servicing, at a proper garage to preserve the warranty, so you better not buy a new car if you can't afford to have it serviced. Spend much less than £16,000 on an older vehicle and use the money saved for servicing and mods

    Freelander 1 TD4ES 2002 A/C Clutch Relay

    I assume you mean the heater fan? If you have the knob that the directs the heat set to windscreen demist then the a/c comes on whatever the heater temp is set on. The a/c process "dries" the air, making demisting more effective.

    Welding/horn questions.

    Why will it invalidate the insurance? When I did the same thing the tester just put an advisory note on the MOT saying that no rear seats were fitted at the time of testing.

    Diff lock light switch - access

    Before you remove the switch pull the connectors off it and join them with a short length of wire and turn the ignition on. The difflock light should come on, if it doesn't then the bulb in the dashboard could be faulty, not the switch

    Diff lock light switch - access

    It six years since I replaced my diff lock switch from underneath. From what I remember removing the centre console wouldn't have helped. Here's a pic of it I couldn't actually see this. The pic was taken by holding the camera up. The job was one by feel.

    Turbo/pipe blowing noise

    Sounds like split in a hose down stream of the turbo. Was there any black smoke when it was making the noise?
