rave dont say, other than one of them (doesnt say which) is glow plug relay, or at least if it does ive missed it having looked a dozen times or more

Hi all, there are three relays under the fusebox on my 99 l series, 2 are yellow and the other is black, I understand the middle (yellow) one is the glow plug relay, but does anyone know what the other two are, regards Dave

its probably the little black ignition switch box in the steering column, take it out and take it apart and cean the contacts inside, car will start good as new, someone had a good write up on here of doing it with pics, i think it was hippo, try searching ignition switch, its dead easy to do...

Do what a mech did to mine, just drill a small hole from the other side nd use a drift to knock it out, mines been that way for 3 years or so, and not caused a prob, and on the plus side you can squirt lube in through the same hole, and its there if it sticks again, if you want you could even...

problem found, put the car on my mates snap on diagnostic and it said no battery power to abs, after a bit of thinking and knowing my brake light switch is only a 2 wire on or off, and the lights worked, i ruled that out, then i had a thought, a year back i had the common prob of ignition not...

first thing i would try would be to take out the ignition switch under the steering column and give the contacys a good clean with emmery and a bit of electric contact spray, costs nothing and takes 15 mins, that little bugger causes all kinds of probs, from non starting to as ive just figured...

any of the freelander lock sockets will work, they have 2 tags inside, just chisel one off, the other will engage in a slot and remove the nut, i know i did it, not really much good as far as securit goes are they lol

Ok, a bit of a poser, for about a month now i have had an intermittent 3 amigos,starting the car normally without touching the brake pedal. they may or may not go off after driving off, but 9 times out of ten within a mile they come back on whether i use the brakes or not, and stay on till the...

I too have a constant whine from the passenger side, but for some reason it can only be heard when im driving the wife somewhere

I have a similar problem, except mine come back on after 2 or 3 miles whether i touch the brakes or not, sometimes they come back on while i'm parked up with the engine running, i dont think its the battery voltage so im pretty sure now its a bad earth connection on the inner wing, gonna clean...

By the look of it the hanger is too long too, or,, does it just need bashing around the pipe a bit, looks from the pic if the hanger was tapped round the angles would be similar to the old pipe

Doesn't matter, i just ordered solids

Hi all, I just put new pads on my 98 xedi, i need to replace the discs too, the ones on mine are solid discs, what i want to know is can i do a straight swap with vented discs, or would i need diferant calipers. the main reason im asking is because i noticed there are two diferent types of...

if i was stone deaf, i wouldn't know anything was wrong, it drives fine, doesnt pull to one side, feels totally normal, but driving on an uneven road, not particularly a bumpy one,but one with lots of patch repairs etc, and it sounds like im pulling a bunch of tin cans down the road, with the...

ok, i just found a susension picture showing the components, what i thought may be an ajustment bolt would appear to be simply the top of the shock with an allen key slot to make it easier to tighten the mounting bracket, so i guess i can answer my own question by saying the "locknut" as i...
