Well at last,a brother in arms. I've resisted the urge to hit the bloody thing with a hammer for so long, but at last someone's given me the excuse to vent my rage and frustrations. Looking8 forward to this one. Now then, which size to use,hmmm the straightening out the wrinkles on ricicles...

Thanks for the last thoughts, there certainly could be something on that thread to investigate. front discs are ready for replacement so will check,clean ,polish all pivots at that point. Also have a persistent problem with handbrake sticking shoes to rear drum, an ongoing problem after several...

Recon vcu came from David Beaumont 4x4 Gearbox Specialists ,dave beaumont 4x4 gearbox specialists,halifax. gave good service,even with postage out to southern ireland, helpfull and easy to communicate with, unlike some i've read about. Still havent got to the root of the vibe problem yet,.one...

forgot to say, though dont think it makes any difference, its a 2005 1.8 petrol that doesnt eat all of its coolant!

hi y'all. Hoping that someone out there can shed some light on a fairlyconsistent freelander prob. I have the normal slight vibration that occurs at 40 mph, but also a new vibe has developed at 60 onwards. Before you all leap on the diff mounts, vcu mounts, wheel balance course of action, the...

thanks for the thought, but, dear god above, the thought of trying to do both ends at once! I might as well set fire to it now, rather dread that it will take me two weeks to bleed it next time! perhaps it will help to invest in nanocom/hawkeye before i do anything else as i'm always workin...

number 5 is alive! Just been out across the yard, ya know what its like, ya just can't help but give it another twist. anyway we now have all 5 holes blowin hot air, (bit like me really).so things may at last be gettin back to normal. will still do washers and seals on injectors and the others...

yeah thats right, everythin absolutely perfect apart from havin to keep puttin more diesel in, until filter change time. air and diesel dont mix, never have, never will, but i'm buggered if i can keep the two apart or so it seems.

hi, re your points, am ex haulage fitter, always use masses of blue tissue paper to clean the filterbody inside and out, also washed and airlined off before removing old filter. always count and check old seals before dumping old unit. Had simmilar problems last servce though only took me a day...

hi everyone who's helped so far. Well we have some sort of success. Definitely the art of sneakin upwhen she's asleep has worked to a degree. after a few more purges and a hell of a lot of crankin we now have three cylinders firin now, - sounds dreadful but not smokin any more. as its dark and...

sorry forgot to say, non genuine WIX filters from usa,local motor factors stock,see earlier long distance to land rover main dealers, as this is my only transport apart from tractor am up **** street

usually do two purge cycles before crankin with go pedal all the way. yes i know i'm diluting the oil, but will be doin the oil service as soon as she's runnin on all 5. already checked the inertia switch. fuel tank 3/4 full. jeez must be doin 15-20 cycles per day for 3 days now, headin for...

hello ratty, answer is first replacement filter not primed, second was,also bleed back line disconnected and ign on to clear air at filter.pump runs quiet for a td5 without gurgles or whooshes if you know what i mean. Have just been out for another purge cycle,- rover not me! and almost thought...

hi there,struggling with the dreaded non starting td5. was running fine till i changed the fuel filter at routine service,three days ago. have done the purge cycle business (5 pumps of throttle to start the auto bleed cycle) so many times i've lost count, even crept out in the dark, and repeated...
