Tried this link and for less than a fiver got the code back within minutes. https://ebay.us/m/VCDWed All works fine !!

You can count me and my half as coming! We'll try to get the Freelandy up and running in time, but we may need to tow it too!! Even popped it in the calendar so I don't forget!

We live in EX16, so I'd like to think we could come by. Assuming the FL2 doesnt go into limp mode too many times on the way there! If I tow it there with the 110, will the 110 get firebombed when I arrive? : )

I've never done with with brakes, only on a clutch on an old Peugeot that was very difficult to do, but I think it would work. I got a length of hose that was secure on the bleed nipple but long enough to run all the way back to the fluid...

So... I ordered a new master cyclinder after trying to rebuild mine and finding that there was a a hole that had rusted through one of the master cylinder "Seats" into the chamber which will have 100% been causing my issues. However, upon...

It's just the ball that's missing. That can be bought anywhere that sells tow bars or towing accessories, but get the bolts too. It's probably been removed to save shin pain, as they're perfectly positioned to give a right old knock on the shin...

An MOT tester once put the flattened hose as an advisory on mine some years ago.

Green car into workshop, had a bit of an electric drive around on starter first as most of it will go in the scrap bin!! All bits in better condition than donor engine swapped over; pcv, fuel return hose, broken clips etc. All top disconnections...

Just revisiting this idea. To accommodate the comments made, proposing Saturday 13th September. Again, if there are enough 👍then I will do some planning.

Solid yes if mine works by then... considering most of it is / is going to be custom it would be nice to show off :p

Hi Saxavordian and GrumpyGel and all the others who have taken the time to reply.By the way that Nissan Juke was not for me. We presently run a 2003 Freelander Serengeti which suits us both including easyish access getting in and out for my wife...

Just a word of warning, please don't make more than 1 post on the same matter, if no-one has replied to your current post, wait, or reply to your current post but if no one replies, it is quite likely those that have seen it don't know

I do not, however, there is a good 'ol way to test a fuel pump (not a definitive test) but have someone start it and gently but firmly tap the top of it with a hammer, like a starter motor and see if it continues to idle, if it does, I would...

Yeh, but both have a 750kg unbraked towing capacity.

It may not prime every key turn unless it's not been primed for a while, it will also not prime constantly, It will only be for a short period. Try pressing the button in the top right of the engine bay, it sits at the top of the firewall, spent...

As for physical disabilities I would say no for Evoque or Freelander. 1. Unless you invest in adapting access and de access to front passenger seat and frame. 2. Are you physically capable of lifting your partner from seating to and from...

Hi xDParis64, I"m just about to drive the 5 miles to look at the Juke. I will let everyone on this site know what I think about it. cheers

I don't have an F2, but I do have a Petrol Juke, Don't... They are not nearly as big as they seem! Tiny little things, I am simply keeping mine alive so I don't have to buy another car, Insurance at 21 is horrid, 3 cars is all I can do!

Also tidied up the bonnet lettering which was looking a bit tired with some vinyl wrap.

Finally got round to respraying the roof. Rattle can job, took it back to bare metal and went for it. Did the roof bars and end caps as well. Not perfect, but happy for a first attempt and should keep it protected for a few more years.

Unrelated but I always wanted a red one 🤤

No the 'in gear' bit is not correct. The four wheels are connected together by differentials IRD and propshaft. The gearbox connects the engine to the whole lot. One wheel up passes all the torque through the rear diff then the VCU and ends with...

Ah! I see. Must've meant when I first tried the OWUT I must've had more than 1 wheel up 😂 , because it spun freely for me unless it was in gear at which point it would not spin freely because 5kg is not enough to spin 1st gear.

All back together, wheels spinning freely, foot brakes and handbrake work, and everything frees off when released. All good, job done thank you. I can only put it down to the order I did it last time that messed it up, or maybe not enough of a...

Spring looks good, if it wasn't being stretched / if the spring had no gaps between coils it would be an issue. But compared to my one, that looks fine. Good Luck!

Best I could do regarding pictures of that spring. It looks well to my eye. Going to try and reassemble now. Wish me luck. One thought I have had in all of this, at least the VCU concern has been forgotten 😊 Although I will do the test...

All looks to be assembled correctly. As I've said I'd have concern for this spring: I can't tell if it's damaged from here, but if you were able to adjust the handbrake and pump the footbrake without causing issues then I should imagine maybe it...

Sounds like a battery issue... Possibly a loose negative cable? check for loose ground cables and clean and reinstall the ones you can :) EDIT: Battery related issue, If the battery is not dying I doubt it is an issue directly with the battery.

My place test it by putting the car on a slight incline and test how it rolls down the incline. Rather ancient method though!

When looking around, I noted that the shocks are in length between (on my model) between 401mm (Fully compressed) and 600mm (Fully unloaded) It would require some testing with spring rates to find something that would mimic a 20mm - 30 mm lift...
