Excellent , thank you, I should have the pump off tomorrow :), hopefully the seal kit will arrive in the morning

I have got to the point where I have removed or disconnected all relevant parts and have loosened, but not yet fully removed, the sprocket access plug. There is plenty of space to get the plug out and the tool in but I can't actually see the plug, is that normal? Do I need to either raise or...

That's great thanks, I bought the tool and have ordered a seal kit, though I am considering going for a reconditioned pump as I assume there is no way to tell if renewing seals has been successful until it's all back together. It appears from your pics that you did it without removing the belts...

I've started to remove parts in readiness for removing the pump but I've seen and read conflicting guides regarding whether or not I have lock the flywheel in position before proceeding, the Haynes manual doesn't mention it but past experience with their manuals doesn't exactly fill me with...

If the situation is like in parts of Manchester then many of the other businesses in the locality could also be owned by Asians. They, or family/associates, could well own a scrap yard so disposal would not be an issue.

A luxury Range Rover at a bargain price is a dream that I expect many of us have had once or twice, I know I've been tempted....If only life were that simple. A couple of years back a friend of mine bought a very cheap diesel Sport, a bit long in the tooth ('02/'03 or thereabouts IIRC) but in...

I must admit to being tempted to try cleaning it up and slapping a load of epoxy over the join but I suppose if I want to reach the goal I set myself of seeing the quarter millionth mile roll onto the odometer I should do the job properly. The tool that is needed should be delivered by Friday so...

I tend towards the hope that classic car owners/clubs will make sure there is provision made for the continued use of their lovingly restored vehicles. As has been seen once or twice in the past any threat to their hobby is met with severe resistance. As many of the people who enjoy driving...

I can't believe I'm actually typing this, I thought the day would never come, It's only fckn well done!! finished, working reclutched and reassembled. After buying both a vacuum pump and a giant syringe and pushing around 750ml of dot4 through the system it still refused to bleed properly. It...

Thanks, do I need to wait until it's off before I know whether it needs repair or replacement? Or can I go ahead and order a seall kit?

This Freelander is now back together and on 4 wheels again, though obviously the clutch still doesn't work and refuses to bleed properly so I have ordered a vacuum pump thingy to try with that. I just hope that it only needs bleeding and that I haven't made a mistake which means I have to go...

Back to the problem with Freelander No1. As suggested, the leak is from injector pump, The arrow points to the joint where the fuel is leaking from when the engine is cranked .

Well she said it went 'clonk!' before losing drive!:eek:

I genuinely believe that battery power is not the answer. IMHO battery technology, although improved massively, will eventually peak at a point which will still not have the convenience of the internal combustion engine. Behind every shiny new 'clean' electric car is a very dirty business...

If and when that happens I'll clear off to live in a less controlling, less nanny state country, somewhere where a persons freedoms are not continually trampled, somewhere like China perhaps:D

I was confident that today would see the gearbox out ready for the new clutch to go in tomorrow, but no, the first obstacle was the connector on the master to slave cylinder pipework, I was struggling with it for over an hour and was considering cutting the pipe when it finally came apart.The...

:D:D

Good luck with that mate, it sounds like a tiny little thing though, couldn't you take it indoors and do it in front of the telly? :)

To be clear my figures were an average based on all round use, not just long journeys, but 21/23? The only time I achieved average mpg figures like yours was when half of the return journey was done on the back of an AA truck:) I will admit though that the barely hidden child inside does like to...
