No they won't become redundant all the time someone is manufacturing low power FM modulators.

For the original bolts on the cross member hammer on a 3/8" socket, they're so soft it'll go on easy and a 10mm socket will probably just spin. Use a breaker bar, nip it up and then back it off, they'll either come undone or shear off. If they do shear get an 8MM drift on the sheared end and hit...

Thanks James, definitely not a ball joint so it looks like a new box then. I guessed it might have to be but was hoping for some miracle (and cheaper) fix. Ah well, may as well change the two rusty pipes at the same time and give the intercooler a wash out while it's in bits.

I'm getting a clicking noise from within the steering box which you can hear quite loudly even from within the car. Could this be a symptom of the box needing adjustment on the top screw to remove play? I do have quite a bit but the adjuster is seized in the locking nut, it's been soaking in...

Never had a problem with Island when ordering stuff on the website and I can't fault their prices but they continually ignore all my attempts at getting them to add a few genuine LR items to the site so I can buy them!

Mine was the other way round, would work till about 20mph then stop increasing at which point TC would kick in when it detected the imbalance. I replaced the sensor but it made no difference so ended up replacing the hub, problem solved.

I hammered on a 3/8" socket then gently nipped them up before undoing. 6 came off without a problem, two sheared but the captive nuts come off easy with a punch up onto the sheared bolt.

Looks like a bump stop is MIA.

The motor itself is TYC630790 available on Amazon US which makes replacement straight forward but I went with the Ebay fan you listed and with some fettling made it fit the original plastic case.

There's also Spanner Monkeys who have done a few. http://www.spannermonkeys.co.uk/services/chassis-change-service/

Not sure how a Parrot interconnects with the audio system but if you disconnect it and run the HU straight through into the amp do you still hear the whine?

Don't forget the photos and 'how to' write up when you do the swap ;) :p

I did mine a couple of weeks ago and was surprised how much improvement it made but I've kept the cat in the garage just in case it fails the MOT but fingers crossed it doesn't. I think in all my searching of threads and posts about removal and MOTs I only found one person who said his had...

Believe it or not I had almost a sleepless night before I changed mine LOL Mine needed doing so had no choice but luckily I had use of a slide hammer. I followed UP's write up, got some additional info on making it easier to set the clearance and the whole job was quite straight forward without...

When I removed my carpet to dry it out it appeared to be factory cut in-line and just hidden by the trim either side of the 6/7th seats. The only cuts that would need to be made would be to continue the factory cut to the back edge either side of the rear door. In actual fact when my 2004 was...
