    Back indicator - fuse or bulb ?

    The holders go open circuit on the rear lamps. If a new bulb doesn't fix it and you feel adventurous, swap the bulb holder from the other side and then you will know without any test equipment.

    Freelander 1 Aftermarket CV axles

    Usually change seal when you change driveshaft as the lip goes hard and extraction of the shaft can damage it. Cheap to do while shaft is out. Don't tell us they left a leaky seal fitted with a new shaft !!??

    Easy to damage ABS sensor cables when changing driveshaft. Looks suspiciously like they might have damaged it. Some folks don't unplug and stretch cable to take driveshaft out. Worth checking the plug and socket are good in the wheel arch. Sensor is not too bad to change yourself. Yours is an...

    This may help. Several ways of doing this. I prefer the later with the hose size increase. Especially on an Automatic. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/fuel-burning-heater-still-on-with-temperature-normal-solved.395532/page-2

    Drinking Coolant / Head Gasket

    I'd say that what you can see and think are valve cut outs are the shadows or actual valves standing open looking like they overlap the bright ring. The bright ring could be the top piston ring if these are the actual valves rather than cut outs. The inlet manifold can allow water to be...

    Drinking Coolant / Head Gasket

    There appears to be reflections but looks like your arrowed part of gasket to me. Is that looking up at head underside or block ??

    Looks like the shiny fire ring on the head gasket. Compression sounds OK if all similar.

    Thoughts on EGR removal

    You are missing nothing ! It is a simple way of effecting EGR removal and cost nowt... If a blank or a hollowed out EGR is fitted it improves the air flow. Whether it is noticeable is difficult to answer

    Older F1 EML? (SOLVED)

    My 2003 1.8 Petrol has an EML. It has shown at times. Not with emission problems though and I am pretty sure it doesn't power on at key turning time. Lat time it showed it was a coil pack fault which is not fitted on early models.

    Older F1 EML? (SOLVED)

    EML.doesn't light as a test when switched on. I will double check that !! But sure it doesn't. I can put Pscan on it for you when you pass through.
