At 72 years of age, if involved it any future RTA`s one can only look startled and say - no propshaft / dont be so daft, the car drove.

Lovely job, I can get the disc in and out simple when you know how, but, although its a 2014 / 2015 years disc, I cant get the head unit to read the disc, but have looked through my owners book (at long last) can get the unit to tell me everything about it but no info comes up after inserting...

OH NO, and me being an INVALID AS WELL, hell, my two front and rear disabled badges might even look better on a poxy vauxhall..- nah..

Can see your point but it rarely snows here, but owned a faithful 3 door disco for 10 years I done my fair share of fun snow driving, but for fun driving I raced 4 separate formulas in oval motor sports successfully for 14 fun filled years once, ( minirods/ Angliarods, Bangers - once world...

Off subject slightly As I don`t have a prop-shaft or any connection between IRD and rear axle, and TBH not really bothered abut it as I dont really want to go offroad is it worth buying the IRD blanking plate and fitting after unbolting and taking out the bevelled IRD drive that`s doing nothing...

Many thanks Bounty, I`ll give it a try tomorrow. I`m sure I can see a disc in there but its lower down.. But will try and see what happens.. Also sorry for not noticing I got reply's, my life kind of gets in the way.. I wont say my age does as that`s defeatism..lol

Well, for reasons unknown as yet my FBH has stopped working, and yes did fit my aftermarket 88 degree thermostat which holds the engine temp in the centre of the temperature range on the gauge nicely now. I`m now noticing why they fitted the FBH to aid engine warning up as I do lots of local...

Well, thanks all of you for your inputs. I`m still learning about my hippo being owned by me now about 4 months. but thanks must go to the very first well explained post way back awhile

After reading through a "bit" of posts about VCU`s and IRD`s I must confess. So, I was going to buy a local TD5, looked so nice, on the outside, and had the underside jet washed to death to show how bad the chassis was, so I in my 71 year old state thought - I dunno, maybe a month of spare time...

Hiya young James, long time no see almost. its the old "easye 1" So much under the bridge so they say, my much loved early 3 door disco long gone, went to a collector your way somewhere. i ventured into a shiny black TD4 auto, as my left leg got worse so need autos now.. Hope your well, and the...

As I clear away years of forgotten dreams and many cobwebs, I`m trying to find out how to ejaculate (sorry had to be done) the sat nav disc out of the factory fitted Hard -on Karman unit Oh how I`ve tried and tried but no cant seem to do it. dont really want to use long nosed pliers, but... TIA

Hiya Nialldol, welcome, but I a, also new to freelanders. I too got a black TD4 auto HSE version, and found It never had a prop. i also found the rear axle to be noisy / maybe the reason for no prop. i too am learning about them doing little bits when i can. taken me almost a month to find how...

Hi websun, did you get your code sorted OK... I only found your post as I was stuck also.. I bought a 54 plate TD4 Auto HSE about 2 months ago, and I looked on youtube, read so many reports of how to get the radio out, most were just not applicable to my Becker Radio/ sat nav/ under seat multi...

Hi all, sorry for my late reply. In the end I bought a "oil filter short socket kit of 5 most used sizes" from Ebay (under £11 delivered) and spun the plastic oil filter top off with my battery rattle gun no bother.. I think the previous oil change, the new filter and O ring seal was put back...

Hi again, As I always do, I poured a whole bottle of REDEX diesel system cleaner on half tank of diesel and ran the hippo for a few days on short runs, but topped up with more fresh diesel.. It seems to run better after, but left me wondering if it cleaned out the burning chamber of the FBH...

I`ve been scanning through these replies, so thanks Nodge68 seems some of my questions have been answered.. A recent purchase is my 54 plate TD4 auto HSE and I`m slowly going through things on it.. The FBH works very well, but seems to be on for far too long, although, I do have the R5...

Hi all, being new to freelanders but old to landrover early Discos, I too wanted to service my latest hippo, 54 plate TD4 HSE (se/a) whatever that means ? I opted to unbolt the lower tray, let the oil drain then stopped due to not having a 36mm low profile socket, so Ebay & dosh got me a...

Well all, I just read through all the comments, still smiling so thats a good sign. I been driving "Pandoras Box" about since the 1st and still learning her secrets. New tyres fitting date rearranged for saturday so will see it the handling Improves ? I have found that its cabin / engine heater...
