They didn't make an F2 in 2005 either. Other than prototypes maybe. Or indeed a 3 door DS unless I'm mistaken.

If it were the ECU cutting the engine you wouldn't get the symptoms of your "1st Time" stall - ie roughness then gradual loss of power until it stalls. That does not sound to me like the ECU cutting the engine or even going into a limp mode (if the TD5 has one). Or indeed your "2nd Time"...

Blinkin Ek, keep your drawers on. Are you all hysterical women in the Disco section? If you trace the roots of the TD5 engine, I believe it goes all the way back to the 1.8 petrol engine used in the MGB. Its most recent predecessor that it was developed from was the L Series, before that the...

Photos or it didn't happen! Have to say, in many ways I wish I'd put the money that I spent on my F2 into rebuilding the F1. With a $13.5k budget could have done quite a job. Mind you I do enjoy driving the F2 as well.

Cracking motor. The D2 ain't to shabby either.

I work around the SDR by not fixing broken bits I can live with. The SDR monitors that there are broken bits and therefore waits for them to be fixed before breaking the next bits. So I never have any serious problems with my Freelander ;)

I don't have a TD4 but reading the threads on here, if it is the regulator O rings on the HP pump, they are cheap and quite easy to replace. You don't have to remove the pump, just slide the regulator out (which does necessitate removing something else I believe, but not a major job). Its...

I'd replace it for a Freelander :vb-bouncy: Mine's got the same TD5 engine... less 1 cylinder... and the common rail gubbins. For sure its slow, smokes like a steam train and sounds like a tractor... but it ooses 'character' :cool:... or maybe :rolleyes: Sadly, very few L Series powered...

They cost over twice as much as that over here. There's 2 NZD to the UKP and these AT3 205R16s are $361 each... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/tyres/listing/4669296213?bof=YczaLdiV That's ex Australia and there's delivery to be added to that.

I've been wanting to run Toyo ATs since reading this thread... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/a-few-pics-from-my-trip-through-the-arctic-yukon-alaska-and-northern-bc-in-my-04-hippo.304797/ The distributor's pricing here though is horrendously expensive and I just can't justify them.

We have them on some of our campers at work. They seem good enough, probably nothing spectacular, but nothing catastrophic either. I take phone calls on the support line for the campers, and if its a call about a flat or a blow out etc that I need to organise help for if they can't change the...

Can't answer your question, but you could just get a camera to fill the hole even if its not used! Or maybe a rear facing gun from a WWII bomber, which ever floats your boat!

The availability of which is "No Longer Available". However, it does give the part number (VUB500870) for the Googling of.

I was going to say they look like the ones you often see on pre-facelift cars... They aren't though as they do not have the moldings and the bumper angle is probably different. I know the part number for those is in the Rave workshop manual because there is a section for the fitting...

Erm, don't think that's a spot light. Mind you they do have some interesting bits for Freelanders. Recon they must have taken a job lot from a stealer or summat.
