You'll be due a repair bill soon then :D

If you do your research before buying a car you'll note it's weak points and budget accordingly... That's why we paid £2K less for our freebie than we would have spent ona similarly aged X-trail. We've since paid £1K for 4 injectors fitted and another £1K for a clutch and bits and...

No don't do it! you will kill the IRD. Maybe also VCU, I'm not sure, but defo IRD. It's expensive. Always run tyres with more tread on the back than on the front, it says so in the manual. So when you run the fronts down to 3mm and choose to change them, get the garage to move the rear...

think that's fine mate. that's the boost solenoid vent filter. Ours is hanging off too, but there should be a clip which I *think* clips the vent filter hose (hose connected to B) to that bent piece of tubing (a). Not sure if it's supposed to be open or not, but ours always has been... P.S...

OK, did the test and the clutch was a little improved, but would still sink to the floor so off it went for a new clutch, salave, M/C and the rest of the crap that goes with it. Saw the old clutch - that thing was well past it! Thankfully, the flywheel was fine. My wallet can stop...

Cool. Nice one. Hope it still self seals after 7 years! I'll see what i can do and report back.

That's a very good idea vissie. My only concern with that is whether or not either end would remain sealed. I'm sure I've read somewhere on this site that you shouldn't depress the master cylinder before the system is connected. Maybe i should worry less...not easy owning a freelander...

Thanks chaps. I suspect the slave but at the same time, with no fluid leak it makes me wonder if it's just the master. Might chuck a new master cylinder on it to see if that cures it. I've been quoted £1k for a new clutch kit and master/slave by 2 different indys so know the ball park i'm...

Got a td4 facelift 2004 with 127000 miles on the clock. If you press the clutch in slowly it will remain on the floor. If you push it in at normal speed it functions just fine. There is an inch or so of pedal travel before you get any real feel in it but i wouldn't say bite point is low...

Just in case anyone is baffeld by the instructions, the connector block which Landrover refer to is at the BACK of the fusebox, not the front (although the connector design is the same, you'll note the number is different). If you look up at the bottom of the fusebox from within the footwell...

My FL TD4 facelift had the same problem. Turned out to be bulbs. Bit disappointed really as the ones in there were Osram Nightbreaker Plus and not exactly cheap. They'd only been in there for 6 months and the car has done 3K miles in that time.

They look the same, wiring may be different though...

You sir will go far in this world. You own a Freelander and have a sense of humour. Nothing can possibly bring you down!

Cheers Singvogel :P

MOT for us on Friday. Will be interesting to see what the emissions are, compared to last year's results. We've just got through our first 500ml of 2-stroke oil.

100K miles?! I'm impressed.

Brand new, over £350 + VAT each i think. Recon, around £120 + VAT each. If you are competent you can fit yourself, but they can heal in. If you are paying a garage to do it, budget 2 hours or so labour if there is no trouble getting them out. My 4 figure price was based on replacing all 4 (and...

spot on Singvogel and many thanks. They are approved for use up to 30mph, but I've never seen 30mph in the conditions we've driven the Saab in whilst using the snow socks. You still have to drive very carefully, remembering that on a front wheel drive sleigh you will have far less grip at the...

This a plug behind the CD player - we are talking about the CD player that's in the dash aren't we???!!
