OOOOHHHHHH!!!!

Cheers Nodge...Ignorance is bliss except when you don't know...B-)...Is that your mum's car (IIRC) and how easy is it to replace all them seal thats everyone keeps going about?...and.....I could go on, better leave it there...

Hello Nodge, Did you have to re time the fuel pump(using one of those dial gauge things) or was it just a 'plug and play' job??

A little old this post but you've just given me a solution to most of the questions I had. Did you replace the bearings or were they okay?

Freelander saves the day......

Have to agree....Next visit home will involve sourcing a pair of injectors to replace the worst ones fitted at the moment. The next pair will be done as soon as I can after(can't afford 4 recon'd ones ATM)

Sourced new injector washers and 'O' rings and replaced the injectors that I pulled only to find out the diesel specialist had a 3 day turn around(my bad). Got the bits from Mike Aitken in Ladybank(now called something else but still flying that name) Cleaned what I could externally of injectors...

Yep, mine also had 'crud' down in the area of concern. Was the 'sandy stuff' slightly reddish in colour? One of my ports had such a colour near the top...maybe there is a chemical reason for this? 'ANYHOO' I got rid of in same fashion as mentioned before....Time will tell if things start...

Ali, Think any method that doesn't include gratuitous ingress of crap into the cylinder is a WIN. Big Sis would't let me use there vacuum except this morning to hoover up the living room before a 'hallowed guest' arrived... Think that many would just try their best with what they have. I...

Okay, so today, after collecting my daughter I started the injector removal on the TD4. Started by running the car for a good 25 minutes to get it up to a decent temperature, maybe a bit longer than usual but its quite cold here. Everything progressed well and after removing all the necessary's...

Cool. I have a very cheap fluid pump that works very well indeed...Having struggled more than a few times it was well worth the investment..less than 10 Euros in Spain and about £7 in the UK(yes, I have TWO) bought from a very well known and expanding German chain..... Regards the tyres etc...

Mine seems okay...the drums and rear brake parts are in 'good order' so someone has looked after that part. From the 'stone guards inwards however, there is a lots of work to be done. All the brake lines will need replacing, from what I can see at least. In the spring I will remove as much...

Well, the weather started to behave of sorts, moved the Freelander to a slightly more sheltered spot on the gable end of 'Big Sis' cottage...removed the wheel and drum, disassembled the lower brake assembly. The 'front' part was binding and this created a lip that the shoe was binding onto...

So far, I have been mainly looking through my window, at the Freelander whilst contemplating disassembling the rear LH brake to inspect the 'lower spring assembly' as there appears to be binding at the front end of it. The weather, as most people in the UK will know is 'pants' ATM and I'm...

Rich, I feel your pain but in LandRovers defence not putting in a drain plug on the rear diff is common practice these days...maybe the same penny pincher at accounts has had a few jobs in his time working at different manufacturers? :-) They know that a 'real' LandRover owner would look at the...

Binoculars and magnifying glass at the ready.....

Cheers, Ali..I think one of the critical components is working on a 'hot' engine so that things are 'expanded' and easier to free off. Regards the bits you dropped, that is one of my concerns, with ratther poor eyesight I dread losing any part so small. Thanks for the heads up regards the...

Ali, any advice would be much appreciated... Have had another frustrating day today. Think the the LH rear brake assembly is slightly ''skewed' as the hand brake 'rod' that is connected to the from shoe seeks to be binding, unlike the other side. Not sure whether they are OEM but think I will...

Cheers, Nodge....You really need to get out more...;-)

I plan to 'Pull my Injector(s) tomorrow..used to be a daily thing but with age etc..... Seriously it is time though. Clouds of smoke (Admiral Beattie would be proud) that would bring myself into focus with 'The Law' means this TD4 isn't safe to drive 'as is' and I have done all the 'cheap'...
