I think this is the kind of setup is required...

They have wipers to.

Seems a tad extreme for removing crows. 🤔

The females in my family seem to like to take a hold luggage sized bag/case each with us when we're going away for just a couple of nights. What with my toolbox and junk in the boot I struggle to fit their stuff in each time. I myself always...

Not much help to you I know, but this reminds me of every oil filter I've ever bought for the FL1 being supplied with a copper washer that does not fit the sump plug. I've got twelve of them now.

Yeah, I've been asked if I'd sell mine by a couple of eastern Europeans I know over the years to do exactly that. Apparently it's a "relatively" straight forward conversion.

The oil cooler went on mine a few years ago too. I don't think it's one of the coolers though as it really doesn't appear like there is any oil in the coolant. My slight worry is combustion stuff obviously. There is a dark residue in the bottom...

Had a check of the drivers side strut mounts and main nut to see if they are the source of the annoying knock I have still present. all were tight as can be so I'm definitely suspecting the top mount/bearing. I also discovered some contamination...

Got back last night from an 800 mile round trip since Friday. Got stuck on an M6 traffic jam on the way south in 33 deg; air-con kept us cool. Haven't seen so many cars pulled over with the bonnet up for years. Drove back north in intermitent...

Whilst responding to this recent thread... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-td4-with-66k-valuation-please.399187/ I happened upon this white V6 HSE...

@GrumpyGel that Kea looks amazing. Sort of a cross between a Parrot and a Falcon. Can they be trained/kept such?

Cleaning the old lass out to go on holiday I am sorry for no pictures but what a mess☹️ I suppose 3 dogs But can anyone explain how 2mm of dog hair got under the Land Rover fitted full boot liner 😩 Bought a roll of plastic carpet protector...

The tax bracket is the Achilles Heal I would say. Everything else sounds good. A quick Auto Trader search shows six examples with less than 70k miles on ranging from £2650 to £5000 although only two of those are TD4s, and I can't imagine many...

Me and Nodge did the rear on my FL1, not the same I know, but I managed to get a reasonable second hand one and had it shot blasted and professionally painted. Subframe was £100 from ebay and the blast and paint was £80. That might be an option...

That stood out to me. What's gone on there?

Last post five days ago! Looks like we're starting to get it! Well done chumps.

Top work

As stated. Vehicle has had a replacement engine (112k) and new Borg & Beck clutch. Tyres are as new, well worth a look if you want a 5 door TD4 Manual. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/317016824076

I'll scour the Tratter threads. Surely if anyone can recommend some wonder product for injecting into box sections for preventing corrosion it'll be them!

Meyle heavy duty ARB links fitted today

I can't complain. It served it's purpose and I only paid £200 for it and the scrappy said they'd give me that for it so with one abs sensor, some wiper blades and two second hand tyres it's been cheap motoring for the year. It was a great little...

Noted! Great pics. I'm just wondering if it's worth Lanogaurding the externals and getting something a bit thicker to inject into the sills?

Do you have very large tree or trees. You could be seen as a predator and they're trying to scare you off. Here is my Barrister Sir Reginald Fortisque-Smythe KC to offer advice for a fee.

Yep, just from the flexi union, around the chasis box section.

Just incase anyone else has this issue in the future. I took off the plastic piece that was blocking one of the line which would normally be the turbo filter. I attached a hose and the filter and reattached the other hoses to the vacuum pump...

We had a spate of this at my work car park a couple of years ago. Fortunately I was unscathed but loads of people had damage and one guy spent well over £100 on wipers. He took to putting carrier bags over the blades every day. I'm told one of...

Modern cars are too complicated nowadays aren't they

Legend

Made up your brake pipes this afternoon. 😀

It would be difficult to get a good one from a scrapper, with all the arms etc as it seems these motor's subframes are quite susceptible to the rot. Also, the gearbox has a fair old whine on it so not sure how long that has got. However, if I had...
