    Steering Heavy

    Good shout, I'll check those shortly! Considering it's not really done much moving over the last year, this could be the cause

    Replace intercooler pipe

    Ok, I know it's a common issue with an LR2, and I've tried to have a read of some other posts on the subject. But I keep seeing people saying that they've replaced these themselves, it's "just a bit fiddly" and "you need small hands" etc. But for the life of me, I can't work out how to change...

    Steering Heavy

    300tdi converted 1987 90.... Recently, if I go through a fair bit of standing water, I get heavy steering. I figured the belt is getting wet, shouldn't be too much to be alarmed about, even if it hasn't really done this before. The last week or so though, I'm now noticing the steering is...

    FL2 odb2 speed & rpm

    You can switch between depending on whether you want the accuracy of GPS or if you want to match the analogue speedometer and have more the responsiveness etc.

    FL2 odb2 speed & rpm

    The reason for me wanting one is unlikely to be if importance to most other people. But here goes: I have a 1987 90 with a terribly inaccurate speedometer, so I installed a digital gps speedometer. I have a 2018 Kuga, which my wife insists on having the digital speedometer shown on the computer...

    FL2 odb2 speed & rpm

    I only bloody works! My fancy speedo from China just arrived, plugged it in, set it to MPH, and boom, very responsive digital speedo. I got the extra special one that has 3 separate screens with all sorts of info, including the turbo pressure, all the temps, rpms, battery levels, basically...

    Split Charge while charging from mains

    This is great information - I've also purchased one of these solar battery chargers, but was reluctant to start using it until I get more of an understanding of the split charge system. The last thing I want to do is to leave that on for a few weeks and find that I've killed the split charge...

    Split Charge while charging from mains

    I mean, that does definitely seem like the most simple solution to this, and I'll definitely go down that route if no one can suggest what might be going on, and how to avoid it without disconnecting things.

    Split Charge while charging from mains

    I've had my 90 for about 5 years now, it came with a split charge system already in place, with the main, and and additional battery for the winch, relocated to a box in the rear. It's always worked a charm, I've never had any fault with it. Over lockdown, the landy didn't go very far, and on a...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Aux input cables

    For anyone else that ever needs to do this, as per Stv123's diagram - The 2 cables with predominantly blue in them, are the 2 positives for each stereo channels. The solid blue one being the Left positive, and the blue+green one being the Right positive. The other 2 cables (white+green and...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Aux input cables

    It's black and white in mine. Either way, I now have perfect stereo sound from the aux. Thank you very much! Now onto fixing the intercooler hose leak, and the pitted rear brake disc.

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Aux input cables

    Wait, where did you find that colour picture?? I've been looking everywhere! That solves it instantly!

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Aux input cables

    Really struggling to identify which is which. Pretty much any combination I choose to wire up, produces sound. Sometimes from both speakers, sometimes from the left channel, but never from the right channel. Today I'm going to do it more scientifically and record the results of every single...

    Ah of course it is! Silly me. Thanks!

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Aux input cables

    Starting a few jobs on a new FL2 I've just bought... Noticed the aux input is missing, it's just a hole where it should be. I pulled the panel off to find a connector block with 4 cables. I suspect someone's previously installed something that used the aux input (possibly an aftermarket...

    FL2 odb2 speed & rpm

    Interesting, that's a good idea thanks.

    FL2 odb2 speed & rpm

    I know Land Rovers typically don't work with generic odb codes, so I'm suspecting the answer is "no". But does anyone know if a 2007 FL2 will work with one of these generic odb2 speedometers off eBay? I've got a GPS Speedo in my 90, and I will happily install one in the FL2 if the answer is...

    Front access ladder

    Has anyone ever seen, bought or made a front access ladder for a defender? I've got a rear access ladder/syeps, but I'd really like to have something I can hook on at the front, from the bonnet to the roof, over the windshield, to provide steps to easily get from the bonnet to the front of my...

    Shaft movement ;)

    While I'm playing around with all this and have the stub axle off... I do have a halfshaft oil seal to go inside the swivel. But I still don't understand if I have to take the whole swivel off to replace this seal, or can I pull it out and replace "through" the swivel, while the CV and halfshaft...
