Hi All , My 2003 2L diesel is leaking coolant from what looks to be maybe the coolant pump . Is this a failed gasket or do i have to change the hose ? It's losing a cupful every month

Hi All, Is it ok to block off this hose ? I have been having a brake problem recently and suspected servo or vaccuum pump checked the hoses and found this one out of the side of the hose connector which i believe goes to the egr (?) it looked chafed off at the end so i clipped the rough end...

Ok so Andy is correct , the key needs to be inside the coil or the engine won't start. We just took all apart for room to drill out but wasn't necessary in the end . Had no idea really what I was doing before I started , learned a lot about ignitions today I've been offered a replacement from...

Thanks for the replies guys, So we took off the ignition/steering lock and barrel was jammed , we managed to free it by putting on a flat surface and whacking it a few times with a hammer after dosing it with wd40 , however it is still intermittently sticking so in order not to get stranded...

Hi Folks, So , lately I have been having a wee bit of trouble turning the key in the ignition. I've dipped the key in oil and wiggled it around a bit and that has always fixed the problem till now . This fix would usually last a good few months before the issue returned . Today , myself and a...

So today I drove slowly to my mechanic friend as he was free for the day and cut a long story short a bearing in the gearbox end of the left front driveshaft had split and all the wee bits were out all over the place. I mentioned all your opinions on aftermarket parts so my mate decided to have...

Ok so on my model is the abs ring on the driveshaft or on the wheel hub ~? Answer: wheel hub as it is a later magnetic model sensor so won't work with a reluctance ring on the drive shaft.

I have to admit that I don't know what an abs ring is or a reluctance ing for that matter off to google to find out

Thanks for the info

fair play to ye . I might have to fit this one as i am a bit broke right now . would it last a year at least?

Ah right thanks for that . Are you always up this early?

Hi All, So having a problem with a vibration when accellerating my 2003 td4 m47 freelander 1 . recently 2 weeks ago changed the left front drive shaft gearbox oil seal and anti roll bar link ( not sure if related ) when i move off from standing still i sometimes get a weird kind of twang noise...

Well done. I found your post as I just replaced the bulb in the glovebox of my 03 FL and it's not working . all the fuses look ok . whereabouts exactly was that positive wire you mentioned?

It's quite confusing so i just went by the connector in the end , thanks for your input . much appreciated
