    IRD… problem?

    Dunno, nobody responded with their thoughts. There are a few ways the IRD can be damaged - eg the RH drive shaft taking out its support bearing causing the diff to jam. However, I'm confident most instances of IRD damage are due to wear in the bearings in the pinion. I would think there is...

    Confirmation of my above post, symptomatic of members' lightweight sense of responsibility toward this thread.

    Freelander 1 Buy this and tow it behind a Freelander !

    That's right. And you can always hire a trailer when you've got to shift stuff that needs to go in a trailer.

    Unable to bleed brakes

    LR could make some cash back then off ABS/TC/HDC being an option. At least on the basic models, it may have been standard on others. They probably still make cash with TR options, the sort of options over standard TR that 99.9% of users will never notice any difference, but they have paid good...

    Sporadic starting .

    And make sure your oil level isn't rising, the HP pump can leak into the sump. Dunno if the TD4 has a non-return valve in the fuel pipe work. The L Series has in the priming bulb (which the TD4 doesn't have).

    Scored myself a new job

    I've always wanted a Cappuccino, and this popped up the other day... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/suzuki/other/listing/5407094745 It looks in good nick, but why store it for 5 years? Tempted. Wonder what condition its in.

    ignore thread please

    I did a very professional job of ignoring today. Mind you it is very easy to do a comprehensive ignoring when you have such a high-flying, jet-setting, international adventure travel occupation :cool: My mind and body was consumed today taking 11 broken toilet cassettes and seeing how many...

    2004 3 door V6 - sudden misfire, OBD port and auto box locked in park. Coincidence?

    Sounds like you've got some general electrical issues there. For ECU type systems (windows, CL etc) to fail and then start working after being reset with the battery off sounds like spikes of power corrupting them. I'm no sparky, but that's what happened on mine. In my case the starter motor...
