This design is somehow different than any other abs system? Like Freelander from the same era?

How can it be normal to have the pedal sink to the floor? It's closed system, where does the fluid extend if it is not leaking?

Still not done with bleeding. New master cylinder in place and done numerous rounds first bleeding the ABS modulator with Foxwell tool, keeping the pedal down and air screws shut. Then going through every corner in order both manually pressing the pedal and by using the Power Bleed in Foxwell...

It was definitely struggling especially with the fresh 75w90. Old oil was still warm and thinner after driving, it came out quicker. It's not used daily so I'd expect it to last several changes. Should have got 2 of them...so cheap. :rolleyes:

Changed the diff oil again. Found a cheap 25€ 12V pump that makes this task easier. It's not meant for gear oil, but it did the job, both ways.

And yes I have tried all the possible bleeding orders, including one in the manual :)

Really? So pedal can be slowly pushed to the floor even when it is properly bled? Maybe I have to test it then on my yard and try the braking. It's now in my garage front on jack stands.

Yes, thanks for the good lucks! Bleeding seems to be a bigger task than I thought. Done both bleeding with Foxwell and manually and have air in the system.

Got this TRW part yesterday from Autodoc and installed today. Tomorrow bleeding when I get my mate to help with the pedal.

Will change the brake master cylinder soon and wondering what is best option for the replacement. I have year 2000 Discovery, LHD. Lucas? Britpart? Any recommendations?

Engine oil and filter changed, also new cabin filter. Since I bought this FL1 TD4 little under 2 years ago, it has been driven 8000 kms and done 4 oil+filter changes.

Went to see vet today with our hovawart male. Hippo is just perfect for large dogs without rear seats.

New front brake calipers and hoses for my 2000 D2.

My FL1 has also TD4 and it also turns new engine oil black very soon after the last oil change. My D2 TD5 doesn't.

i thought so too But good job anyways.

I think that is the best thing a car can get. What I don't get is why would you change the filter in steps 4 and then again in step 6?

Already did one using generic rough mat material, cut it to shape of the boot but wasn't satisfied with the material itself. I'd want to save the rear footwells as they are, because they hold bags and stuff in place when driving but want to cover the oem boot carpet with something that doesn't...

So this is what I'm looking for. Unfortunately no international shipping.

Do you know a source (with international shipping) for a boot mat that covers the whole floor to the rear footwell? I have removed the rear seat and using FL1 as a van, so those widely available boot mats are too short.

Cleaned the gunk off the AC control knobs. Acetone in rag first and then Autoglym vinyl & rubber care. Looks much better.
