Not an issue Ali all this ‘guff’(Scots for ‘stuff/things’) was removed during the strip down etc. The cylinders were also replaced the MOT before the failure so those little bolts etc were replaced then. Just been up there ‘fiddling’ today and remade the cylinder to flexi hose brake pipe. Copper...

True!!

Couple of things since I posted earlier.. I work Friday through to Tuesday night/Weds morning. Sometimes if it’s quiet I don’t get a shout or msg.. I just roll through the evening waiting for stuff. Anyhoo thats what happened today.. no mention of work etc. was looking forward to a night at...

I have a couple of options other than ‘the two man’ set up. I have a vacuum method although it’s not the best example and the other is good old Gunsons.. depending on which one is still operational.. pretty sure the TEVES system doesn’t mind Gunsons too much.. if it does then ‘Big Sis’(who isn’t...

Evenin’ Folks Just a quick question as to bleeding the brakes on an FL1 with ABS. The rear brake lines have been replaced completely from the ‘modulator’(?) so I will be bleeding the whole system. I have a 5 litre can of the DOT 4 stuff in anticipation. Can anyone just confirm the sequence...

Removing all that was an education in itself. I could have bought new arms etc but instead bought a 20 tonne press. bush removal kit and new OEM bushes. All because of a 50p sized ‘soft spot’ on the rear of the nearside sill.(MOT failure!) ‘Inquisitive Me’ then started ‘poking’ things and...

Heading up garage!!

Just another update on The Never Ending Story(NOT LIMAHL) Was away in my truck last week having started back having had 9 days at home(working on ‘The Obvious’) then I realised that all that was needed ‘pre start up’ was the replacement of the shock assemblies of the rear suspension and hubs...

This post from 2014 was the one that gave me inspiration to sort **** out. Still sorting **** out btw..

Holy smokes forgot I was ‘on here’ despite the last 3 years being a Land Rover ‘Odyssey’ of sorts. I have been busy and … NOT busy/not busy all the same. Work, cold damp garage etc have been the reason for my poor showing. No traction(a 4X4 pun in there somewhere) during much of the time I have...

Basically ‘monging’ it..

All seems too easy as that was what I was going to in the first place. The brake line clips are all ‘noted’ but the remnants of the original brake pipes have thrown me out of ‘kilter’ and got me thinking that Land Rover had fed it through the subframe… Will need to revisit the underside and...

Hello Freelander Wizards. Got a question regards my daughters Freelander 1 TD4 (2004) I have been rebuilding the rear end after a MOT failure(a long time ago) part of which has been the complete removal of the rear subframe/fuel tank and replacement of rearward brake lines. Now, I kept the...

Been too busy

Back again.. first ‘holidays’ since COVID began.. working on TD4 again. Hope everyone is okay?

Mooching about once again after two years away.. guess what daughters TD4 still in my garage..busy with work of health issues. Back at it!!

Thanks Jay...Know all about venereal disease so will more than likely refit the diff cover and refill wither just before on once the subframe is back on the vehicle....thanks again...

Cheers Nodge...having searched on 'The Obvious' places the only reference to a diff gasket was a tube of stuff...(might have been Philidelphia Cheese for all I know) but kinda got the idea that was where this was going...Diff is out at the moment along with the rear subframe so will replace the...

Hello Dudes.. Dropped the oil out of the diff...RTV sealant was used to seal the diff..is that 'normal' or is there a gasket available?? Told you it was a 'bone' question... TIA Malcolm PS 2004 Freelander TD4........)
