Thanks.
Colourwise the backlighting is off. It's currently a light greenyblue. Hoping a green window tint will bring it closer to the colour of the clocks/etc.
Scangauge E
I miss not having a realtime MPG indicator in the hippo so I ordered a Scangauge E. It arrived today, not a second to lose, I went about fitting it!
Being smaller than a regular scangauge, finding a suitable place to mount it was easy.
Out with the old, in with the...
Thanks y'all.
Bar the coolant, the service was carried out today.
EGR looks dirty....(and the air fliter is upside down!)
I fitted the new silicon hoses too
The fit of the intercooler hose was a little off
So I cut 25mm off, making the bend...
So my relationship with Land Rover has just begun.
I was (mis?)fortunate enough to pick up an 04 Freelander TDI from a dealer fairly local to me a couple of weeks back.
She's an S with 2 previous owners, full LR service history and 109k on the clock.
This Freelander replaces my daily...
Doors managed to stay on....to my surprise.
The small amount of recovery gear I do own was tucked up warm and dry in my garage. Wellies (or waders) were sorely needed.
As for driving through flood water.....I don't drink, I don't smoke, I always wear a condom, eat my greens and keep my...
I rescued a couple of stranded drivers this morning on Ripley Lane between Ripley and East Horsley!
Whenever theres any significant rainfall the road turns into a mini river. A couple of weeks back it was deep enough to make my A3 TDI Quattro float!
I drove around a few nervous drivers...
Snapped bonnet release cable.....
Opened the bonnet up with a 10mm spanner. I've fashioned a temporary fix while I source a replacement cable.
I then carried on with the actual job I intended to do which was wet flatting the headlights to remove the UV damage they were showing.
There's an ocean of design faults out there. It's not something only Land Rover are guilty of.
My MINI has the wonderful Prince N14 engine. Peugeot/BMW design, it's blessed with Direct Injection which cause the inlet ports to coke up so badly you have to have the inlet stripped off and walnut...
Touché :p
Mine will be a daily, I'll let you know how I get on. I quite like getting greasy, it keeps me out of trouble...The Devil makes work for idle hands!
I fully expect abuse for the TD4.
I also fully expect to shout, swear, lose blood, sweat, money and sleep over owning it, but that's what weekends are for :5bcheers2:
Wait till you see how I clean cars...The abuse will REALLY start to fly then! ;)
