You could pop the tailboard off and have a look and see if wiring is present ? Probably LED rather than a bulb but you should be able to see if that part of the light 'could' illuminate. To be honest the dealer appears to have gone through a lot...

At the time, UK was nominally part of EU and in fact, there is still no difference in general UK/EU specifications save the obvious LHD/RHD. I referred to it as 'EU' to differentiate it from RoW or US/CAN/Nordic lighting specifications, some of...

Friend of mine 'upgraded' his Audi using dealer spec' software. He was an Auto Elec at the time.

At the front yes, and indicators are allowed to do that but IIRC brake lights & side lights have to be 'solid'. JLR will not allow dealers to upgrade cars after sale with factory only options, for a start, the parts dept. will only look at parts...

That does look like an option, but I thought 'Signature' was the flickering effect where the light starts at one end ?

I'm pretty sure you can take the door card off with the door closed on the D2. Remove Screw behind door pull, take off plastic trim. I think the winder is on a spring clip to remove. Take surround from lock and push up pad with window down. Take...

Hi guys, thank you for your endearing comments and advice. I can confirm following a conversation with the owner of the garage I was offered (as a goodwill gesture) a 50%refund which I gladly accepted. I attach a photo of the split pipe, located...

Yes remove the starter motor which will also give you chance to check the connectors inside any car that has done 75,000 or more will benefit from having the starter connectors replaced another easy job with starter motor off the car. regulator...

As it is easy to do and free. Remove the fuel rail pressure sensor plug, clean connections and try again. If no previous symptoms likely to be simple problem.

Range Rover Evoque Van. What's one of them ?

That is a toughy, I am sure the first garage will say they done their best and did the repair you agreed upon. I would go back explain what the issue was and cost, but go with the expectation of receiving nothing but with the attitude of helping...

Apologies for the delay in responding and I thank you all for your contributions. Suffice to say that the warning lights remained on after paying £225 for a new airflow sensor (so angry). However good news; I took car to a recommended garage and...

It is a Freelander 1, 3 Door ? 2005

Plus 1 as also owned a FL1 and my current landy is a D3 , I did do a buyers guide which hopefully is useful to u If u intend to do the work yourself as mentioned with regards to ramps, plus a decent scanner , multimeter , good range of tools ...

No, there's no strength anywhere in the middle. About the only bit you can take off as a 'unit' is the bulkhead. More work than you hoped, but on the plus side you can do all of it (except the engine) without needing a hoist. Reassembly is rear...

It looks like it has a welded nut other side of bolt, on mine I think it’s a loose nut. If you take tunnel cover off you will see a lot better ( main gear stick and both floors out/ loosened

A set of 4 are on their way. Report to follow. Will get alloys refurbed while tyres are off.

They are very different vehicles, especially with regard to maintenance. Unless it is very cheap you need as much service history as possible.

Good evening all, Just joined today after gleaning lots of useful info lately. I’ve just bought a ‘53 Discovery TD5, manual, 5 seater. I got it from a farmer who doesn’t use it. It’s only got 58,000 miles on it with full LR service history...

I have no idea of MAF sensor cost but they are very easy to change. As pictured it is fitted to airbox and secured by two torx screws, T20 ? Could they have meant MAP sensor which is a little more difficult ? A PCM clear should have been run on a...

The video shows the correct specification for EU lighting on that vehicle, you're not the first to assume they're function over form...

Don't know about the Disco' 5, but on the Sport both Tailgate and body tail lights work on all models. The only difference being Rest of World or North American Spec'. The NAS having a side marker light. Unsure if it of any help, but again on the...

Just a quick update on this. I went over the basics and it was a combination of a broken heater plug and dodgy wiring. not allowing a good connection. New glow plugs and relay and it is starting as it should.

I find it very useful having a grandson with little hands to get into daft places - but..... that really is tight in there :eek: You'll need some patience too :) Good luck :cool:

realised mine is sticking , also found a good video online wished to share it so it may be handy for someone else got a new set of silicone hoses i bought a while back and think it would be a good idea to fit them at the same time can see...

...i am putting this here, hopefully someone will be able to point me in a right direction. i also put this on one of teh threads, so apologies if this is not allowed. so i've been racking my brain because i just can't get my speedo working..I...

We had a load of flappers at our wedding. But then it was 1920s fancy dress!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

I know this is silly but my grandmother had a similar problem with her car a while back and we couldn't figure it out for ages. Turned out the floor mat was slipping behind the pedals and causing the brake pedal to stay slightly "stuck" after...

The FL2 auto won't start if the ECM doesn't see that the brakes are on and the transmission is in N or P. The manual FL2 needs the clutch down, or it won't start. I'm suspecting that it could well be tow bar wiring if fitted, as the trailer...

Incidentaly, if you follow the wiring diagrams in Rave, there are also pictures of all the connectors, so you can see exactly where they are.
