Thats good news to hear....so it's not quite 'run in' then...? Yep, it's beginning to sound like 'badly dubbed porn' which is no bad thing. Cheers, Nodge...interesting ditty about the Transit...thought 'Puma' was a weird name for LandRover to choose for an engine....'Duck Billed Platypus' would...

Excellent, many thanks for the advice..

Thanks Ali Have seen a couple of videos about how to do a basic check of DMF condition and was thinking the same. 'Our' TD4 has done 122,000 miles. Regards changing it the question/argument was more for if there was a 'Landyzone 'hack' (like servicing a VCU for instance B-), or if 'Zoners'...

As I am in Spain this is really a 'What have I NOT done to my Freelander today...' Daughter has just called to say that the rear L/H window is stuck about a fingers width down from fully up. Think the weather is crap up there ATM....Should have fixed this when I was home the last time..(my...

Okay, it was about a month ago....I bought some other stuff then too but think the bearings were about £38-00 each. Not cheap but cheaper than some places. I just ordered them via Ian Sim (LandRover Specialist in Ladybank, Fife) When I collected them they were in a 'Britpart'(****part) box but...

Might as well post the 'Badly Dubbed Porn'..for all to see.. Viewer discretion advised....

That would be cheating and not 'special tool' status although I do have a roll of fencing wire in my van for 'bragging rights'...I mean, you never know....

Cheers Nodge...was on the Wickes web site and my search for 'Hooky things' came up a blank.....Go figure....

Okay folks, Going to throw a big stone in the pond here....TD4 dual mass flywheel and possible looming clutch replacement...... Anyone got any thoughts on doing a single mass flywheel conversion?? Was thinking of a DMF replacement at the same time as the clutch job....but noticed a...

Thanks Ali, will have to have a look see next time I venture to a building suppliers...they look slightly different, specialist, something that must be had, essential to life, addition to tool kit 'hooky' things....

GKN.. Originals were 'FAG' IIRC.....which is apt as the car was owned by a hairdresser before me (no offence to any 'Butch' coiffeurs out there.....

Hello Ali, Thanks for this post and the informative info...and pictures...just been told that we might need a new clutch soon so now trawling for info...as one does...just noticed in your first photo a couple of metal 'hooky' things holding up the driveshaft...what are they and where could I get...

Removed my VCU and bearings, got the genuine bearings(they have been fitted to the VCU) faffed around separating the prop shafts..destroyed the front UJ in the process despite following the procedure mentioned on here....daughters car passed MOT on Friday, she picks it up today..it's still in...

As far as I can see there is no need for an 'initial' MOT test but you must apply for the tax exemption and reapply each year for that. Only if the car has had substantial modifications does the car need to be tested (as far as I understand) reading the gov.uk website gives much information and...

One of life's nuances I guess....?? Now to the important bit about your post.....You have a 72 Avenger GT???

Ali, on my MOT test it wasn't mentioned at all. Did fail on a couple other things though.

Nodge, you are correct...the rear brakes, although out of balance did not affect normal braking and I also did a few 'hard braking' tests on the quiet roads where I live (on the way to the test centre). Think rear brakes have been tested for imbalance since 2013 although I may be wrong. These...

You are not wrong there, Nodge...

Okay, I may have posted this before....?? TD4 failed it's MOT on three 'Dangerous' things.. 1. O/S headlight too low...adjust and 'fixed'. 2. Numberplate light inoperative...(had to solder the connectors where they attach the circuit board) 3. Rear N/S brake performance low...braking...

Of course, if your are stopped and challenged regards your lack of MOT you could always counter the police officer by demanding to see his MOT for his(Oops, maybe her/should be 'their') MOT certificate......
