Flossie's latest activity

Hi. I’m Tim. Live in UK and France. Had a variety of Landrovers over the years. Current one is a Freelander 2. Hope I have the right place to introduce myself.

:vb-wavey:watcha got?

Straight 6? They are 2.6ltr. If it's a 4 cylinder it's a 2.25.

I used to think there was something wrong with my brain. Then I came here and found a whole forum exactly the same

Great news John.

Great news. Went to hospital yesterday for colonoscopy. Camera right up to where splice is from tumour removal and all clear . NO signs of cancer only a non cancerous polyp found and that was removed. Slept a lot better last night :vb-angel1...

Looks like the P38 battery has survived being discharged to 1.48 volts. 18 hours on my home made charger (WW2 ex-government large multi tap transformer together with ex-gov WW2 ammeter and modern bridge rectifier) brought it up to 12.8 volts...

I'm finding the plastic welding of the switch 'pins' a faff so had a look to see if it was possible to secure the switch with small self tappers into the remains of the switch studs that originally hold the thing in place. It looks possible but...

Just had that problem when I went to set the windows after my flat battery incident, window went down but not up so used Faultmate to close it.

We're these p38 struts from the likes of rimmers/island 4x4 etc or did you source them using cross referencing? I fitted a new centre console strut which made it better but still needs a lift to open(that might be normal?) and tailgate struts...

Replaced all 6 gas struts, with good quality Stabilus ones. Having not owned a P38 before, everything seemed heavy and clunky. Glove box just crashing open etc. Now with new struts front, rear and interior, everything works beautifully.

It probably won't last doing that, mine didn't. When I took all the plastics off to clean them up I found the terminals were loose, I forget if it was on the bulb itself or the bulb holder but I do remember just touching the bulb and it would...

+1 on thumping it Landy-style. The light came on. Unbelievable.

There should be no play in the part you are pointing to but the joints at either end can and do wear so no wear there either. You need to have the engine running when checking for free movement at the power steering box output side. ie does the...

Passenger front and rear windows decided not to work yesterday. Switchpack out and a clean of the contacts and all good again.

You'll get sacked for being late lad😜

...a small addendum. The new one wasn't delivered - delay... So I pulled the pin out of the old one, pressed the brake pedal and put the old one back in - and lo and behold - everything is great again. Thanks to everyone for the great support...

Or you just pull.. if it's been out enough times 🙄

I live in Rotherham :rolleyes: :rolleyes: 😁

2 jigsaw blades release the head unit.

Seat side impact airbag on later models perhaps?

Don't normally believe most of the hacks you see on the net but saw similar on a well known site so gave it a go before buying new lamps. Wipac crystals. Bit of tooth paste on the wifes washing up sponge and a minute or two of roundy roundy...

And they are heavy! Waaaaaayyy more heavy than they look!

I only discovered that there was a difference in size when trying to fit a 39mm at the rear where a 36mm was required. The heat sink on my 39mm lamps was shorting out every time that I tried to fit the oversize bulb. Interestingly the circuit...

Post in thread 'Reverse lamp, electrickery knowledgeable peeps, what do you think?' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/reverse-lamp-electrickery-knowledgeable-peeps-what-do-you-think.396931/post-5801790

Pics of the rev light are on here somewhere.

Enlightening Lightbulb moment

Very good, 9 bulbs all led, all interior and 2 x puddle lamps. Boot lamp was a powerful uk sealed unit replaced last year. Durite led sealed lamp bolted to the towbar crossmember as a rev light, that's really good, should have done that ages ago.

And the results?? 🤔😜
