Cheers for the welcome Andy! Craig, don't get time for 'laning' too busy looking for water to fish lol.

Hi Siblo, i too would like to know how you got on, as my rear passenger window seems to have suffered a similar fate. Will wind down but i have to pull it back up & wedge it.

Ahhh... yes Cox, but i'll not panic next time ;-) Tony, you're right, CR2032 and i didn't buy a cheapo lol.

Mr K.....hope you have sorted problem by now! Thought i'd let you know that i had a nearly identical issue earlier this year. The cause of my leak was a pin-hole leak on the diesel filter-body (rear wheel-arch) where it contacts the earth connection. I was amazed at the pressure of the leak when...

Big thanks to those who helped me sort the problem. Fob working much better with a new battery, hopefully no more flashing lights.

Thanks Optimus, will try that. Come to think of it...fob has been a bit dicky of late, multiple presses to unlock/ lock. Will let you know if problem is solved when i get new battery. Meanwhile, thanks for your time to reply, it's appreciated. Malc.

Forgot to mention, in the handbook it does show the red-light below the handbrake warning light, but doesn't give any info on it.

Hi storm & optimus, rear ingress made me chuckle lol, optimus, yes, it was after unlocking & putting key in ignition, but before turning key.

Hi all, i've been a 'lurker' for the last 12 months & can't thank you all enough for the advice & expertise i've gleaned from this forum. It's only when things go wrong that you realise there's other people in the same sorry boat. So what i'm trying to say is.......i'd sooner spend the evening...

Hi All, my car is a freelander 1 adventurer td4 2006. Recently as i've started her up i've had a red flashing light & accompanying audible warning. The light is on the tachometer immediatley under the 'handbrake & brake system'. I can't find any reference to this in my handbook. Could anyone...

earth-lug isn't welded... if it's snapped you need to ask your local dealer for part. It's just a bended bit of steel with a spade on one end & it slides into a slot cut out of the plastic tube thus making contact with filter-body. Also, my '06 has that blank electrical plug just hanging to...

Hi, getting pump out of housing is simple. The hard work is getting the two studs out which fix the steel brackets holding the plastic housing to the underneath of the car, mines a '06 and they were totally corroded! Easiest way i found was to reverse up car-ramps to get at the 10mm studs from...

2006 TD4, brilliant heater, wouldn't say 'economical' though:screaming_bug_eye_f

Has anyone else had a deisel leak from the plastic fuel-pump/filter housing? Have had same for around 2 months, got around to dimantling the thing & my thoughts were, probably a pipe leak! On stripping down (new filter to the ready) the earth-lead tag broke off, totally corroded & when i slid...
