Thanks, Jay..having looked at the prices on 'Fleabay' the links vary in price but I couldn't describe them as 'cheap' if doing all of them. Was looking at buying the bushes separately, I have the tools to get the old ones out...and I have been looking for a reason to buy a 20 tonne press...

Hello Freelander 'Nuts'.. Been busy with work..etc but have had the opportunity to get some work done on my daughters TD4.. Dropped the rear suspension to remove the tank and cradle(which is being replaced) and now got clear access to the underside and brakes lines which are being replaced...

Hello Nodge Many thanks for the reply and input. Will check for any signs of corrosion or spillage when I get to it. I had a look-see earlier but there doesn't appear to be any cause other than ‘wear and tear’. When I get it out I will gave a better idea. There is a video on YouTube with the...

Thanks Andy it’s a 2004 TD4 HSE. It’s definitely the bearing above the UJ. Some significant movement. Will have a think about the column away at work at the moment so multi tasking..(as a man.. not a good thing) Thanks for the reply Malcolm

Hello Chaps and Chapesses It has been a very long time since I have graced these hallowed pages. One word.. WORK! However my last enquiry was regards a steering column issue. That is still the case, daughters Freelander gathering dust in my garage. Needed so welding on the inner sill...

Thanks for the advice, will be 'on it' in a few minutes after I finish my cup of tea...have ordered some sheet steel as I don't have any 'for my sins'...Although I live in Scotland it was living in Yorkshire before I bought it.. I think the previous owner had been to a beach some time in his...

Sound advice...Yes the brakes will need a bit of a 'tweek' although when I replaced the discs and pads I removed the carriers and cleaned them to a very high standard, contact points lubed etc, silicone grease on the cleaned slider pins And new stainless slider furniture...I would go with the...

Okay Troops, After a few days delay because of work etc I managed to get the Freelander in for a test. Not brilliant news in that it failed on several issues, the main ones being corrosion in the near side sill just infront of rear arch and 'play' in the steering wheel/column which is a bit of...

Cheers Guys, will have to check it when I get back from 4 days 'tramping'...MOT end of this week too, so lets see how that goes...

Hi Guys (and Gals) Just a quick question(as they all seem to be)...was driving home from work yesterday in heavy rain...perfect Scottish summer weather...when the wipers were working, If I depressed the clutch I could feel the wiper hitting it's stop through the clutch pedal. Is this normal...

Nowt worse than a broken 'Hoop' Nodge. Luckily there are creams and suppositories that can help but if I am honest(from my own personal experience) once it's broke.... it's broke...

Hoho How Silly Have always found the dipstick on the TD4 difficult to remove. Technique was to go gorilla on it and invariably lose the tug of war contest. However, after deploying my 'slide rule' and the distant memory of Pythagoras I have managed to 'crack the code' and want to share it with...

Hello 'Freaklanders' All good I hope with everyone? Just a quick visit, I have been very busy of late having returned from Spain, re qualifying to drive trucks(legally) again and moving house in-between working on my van...and my daughters TD4 .. Have finally gotten around to replacing the...

Changed a yellow indicator bulb on daughters facelift TD4.....Found out about the 'under wing access' panel vefore attempting. Old bulb replaced..indictator back online. Old bulb looked okay but replacement sort it. Forgot to test old bulb afterwards....my bad...

Just to add that this product is a load of bull****. There is a 'young chap' on youtube who had a rather 'earthy channel' regards motorbikes and engineering. He is discussing this I some depth and is no fool(like everyone on here!!) This FTC product is a complete sham and is under investigation...

Hello Everyone, One of the advantages of being a security consultant is the ability to not do any security consulting when you want and basically watch youtube doing 'research' all day..... Well, have been going through many different subjects etc, mostly quite good videos in my opinion and...

Looks good...

If you find a 'cure' for the 'coking' process you could fall foul of two 'camps' on this forum, those that have a need to bypass any system, therefore circumventing motor manufacturing engineering (therefore nullifying those members 'input') and those who need to replace the original part, with...

If you've got it off, then might as well give it a clean. That's what maintenance is all about for the 'home mechanic'. It doesn't cost anything, unless you've got to use some of the products mentioned about. Main thing is that it works okay. My EGR is shot and has been 'replaced', if the...

This is becoming a 'mini' epic thread....great input and very interesting...just as well we don't all drink in the same pub as there would be no birds in that bar...although maybe a few in the 'lounge'?? Many thanks...
