There must be an algorithm based on serial number. Who wants to try to derive it!?!?!?

Tried this link and for less than a fiver got the code back within minutes. https://ebay.us/m/VCDWed All works fine !!

Hi, Can anyone assist please? Either a contact in LR dealer or some other method. Have a good CD Radio from a scrap car, have the registration number but need the radio code. Local dealer to me used to give them out but they want paperwork...

The solid rubber section needs to be vertical ! I'm sure it isn't that critical. The 2 part Poly bushes make this a doddle.

I have changed the title of the topic. Maybe the mods could pin it until after 13th?

Save the date. Saturday 13th Sept 2025. Will PM the location in North Devon to those confirming attendance. Except those who know already !

They are impressively tight. I bust my bushing tool and a 10 ton press finished the job !! I now use Poly as a fit and forget. If I recall, with the standard ones, Imput the arm on a block of wood. Centred the bush, put a large socket on the...

So this is looking like a goer. I am happy to provide space for parking and marquee+ toilet etc. No charge for attendance. I have a mate who is looking to produce some LZ merchandise (with a Freelander photo, not a Defender !). Several great...

There was me thinking it was lager. Don't really want a 'sample!' 🤭 Esp if it has been passed by the Cornish Management !!

Poly or standard with metal ring around the outside??

And here's the donor !! Nearby too !! https://www.facebook.com/share/1BjHa82R7F/

OP has a 2005.

Good stuff ! It's key that it all sits in the pulleys otherwise it will never go on !! Must be at least 5mm bigger than the belt run !!

If the belt is correctly on all the pulleys and down properly, pushing the tensioner will just allow it to fit over the crank pulley. I usually get it half on and then relocate my tensioner spanner and bite a bit more turn.

Obvs take wheel off and plastic splash guard. Get comfy by wheel as it needs lot of control and effort to turn it enough.

15/16 inch AF spanner and extension bar. Fit around all top pulleys and idlers and tensioner. Make sure belt is down in grooves fully or it won't go on... Slide over crank pulley last. Don't put fingers between belt and pulley else if it slips...

Local FL2 tried some 'off roading' !

What's the story ?? Replacement will be ? Where is it going ?

Having fitted a new clutch, new slave and attached this to a known working master cylinder I was not at all surprised to find the clutch bite was in the carpet. It has happened before but never really found not why it happens and how to fix it...

Good question !! Cut to fit but can measure and will post.

Maybe if not fired they are ok but their ability to close after opening and engine running ?? Just sharing thoughts....

Sounds like one or more injectors are dropping fuel (leaking) when engine off over time and causing overfuelling when started up.

Maybe your ecu connectors need cleaning for the F4 ?? Or a broken wire when changing the unit.

Courtesy of @Nodge68 F4 means the gearbox TCM (Transmission Control Module) has implemented its limited operating strategy (commonly called limp mode). This means the gearbox will be locked in 4th gear only (reverse is normally still...

I detailed the reverse clutch change on a pre 2000 model. Yours should have the modified piston already. My (limited) experience with Jatco boxes is that an F4 and any slip are mechanical rather than electrical problems. I am surprised a change...

Duplicate post.

Raises some questions ! Why did you change it? What was original fault ? Did you have F4 before the change? No coding needed but need the right one for the engine. TD4 or V6 etc..

Clutch appears to have sorted itself. I think if the master cylinder is open, pedal down, the air finds its way up. See how it goes. Then other technique I have used in the past is to remove the master cylinder, take the push rod off and compress...

So we have a running engine. Haven't fitted the inlet or intercooler hoses yet as I want to clean the intercooler out first but turbo is whistling on reving and no leaks !! It has a bit of TD4 clutch syndrome. New slave fitted and the master...
