you don't work at the space lab do you? Can't think of anywhere else in Holmbury that someone with such engineering/electrical skills might work. I look forward to the day I see it cruising through the village (I work there too)

Just read the thread from the start. The final shot on this post looks fantastic. I have a 2a sat in a barn somewhere that I have a hankering to get renovating. My Dad know's where it is, but I haven't been in a position to house it and work on it for a decade or so, so god knows what state it...

Took the hippo to a diesel injection 'specialist' on Monday - 4 hours later he still couldn't get the dodgy injector out so he gave up a gave it back with no charge! :-(
On the way home we stopped by a car dealer and we pick up our new qashqai tomorrow having been offered £1850 for the hippo...

The plot thickens....
I've just driven home from work. When I started the car the three lights were still on. I tried to drive away the condensation by cranking the heat up - the battery light came on and headlights dimmed. So instead I sat and waited in the mildly cool air to clear the car. At...

Lucky you!!!
I don't know that fiddling with brake-related stuff has ensured the three amigos rear their ugly heads.
Driving with the warning lights on will cause no significant damage to the car, right?!? So long as I make sure my brake lights are actually working!

OK. So the car had MOT today - failed on brake pads, CV joint and something else (paperwork in car, so I can't remember it off top of my head). I asked him to look into the battery issue and he found two belts were very worn so replaced these. No more flickery battery lights!! Woohoo
Driving...

Definitely need to get me a tester of some description!!
Interestingly when i fired up the wagon this evening to come home I had to wait a while for the blowers to clear my screen and when I put the rear glass heater on the battery light appeared.
No evidence of the amigos on my run home (I...

This bloomin' Hippo is going to send me to an early grave!! It's a 2003 TD4
The car has been insanely fogged up (and icy on occasion) inside for a while now. There is some water ingress from the sunroof which apparently my attempt at sealing failed. However, until recently, the heater on full...

freelanderspecialists.com are very different from freelanderirdspecialists.
From what I gather Bell frequently work with the first company. The second will rinse you for all he can

I suspect that might be tricky. from a different angle to the one pictured earlier, the tar substance definitely appears to cover the screws/bolts holding it in. :-(

I am afraid I can't help with original problem, but just wondering whether your glow plugs light has shown up yet? even in all this damp cold weather of the last few days my glow plugs light still hasn't lit up at all. Only bought it in the summer, so don't know whether it has ever worked or...

Cheers guy. I shall be on the lookout for new tools.
I'm only really despondent because we bought the car with a baby on the way, it's due in December and now is the time we desperately need to be saving so that we can cope during the wifes maternity leave. Having already spent a tonne of money...

Sadly, I don't think you're kidding. You think the pipe going in to the injector, rather than the injector itself?

I think it was done up with an air-tool when at the garage for its last major fix!! :-(
It was a very cheap set bought some time ago. Will look for some new tools :-)

Hmmm, that's an interesting idea! It wasn't me guv, I've only ever looked under the bonnet in the past never touched anything 'till today! And now wishing I hadn't bothered!
Glad that it's not obviously a busted injector though! (not to say that isn't an additional problem though)
