Cheers for the replies, I'll go through it all again during the week to see if there are any other noticeable issues.

OK, I know this may just be age related, but all odd. Early Feb, the (aftermarket) radio died, 1st thing to check was the fuse, this was found to have blown, put another in, that blew straight away, next thing was to remove the radio and disconnect plug to check if the radio was faulty, new...

Thanks Discool.

Cheers guys. this is only my second auto since I've beendriving, previous was an old Cavalier, so can't even compare, as totally different vehicles. I'll get a switch on order next then and go from there.

I've got the above vehicle and the transmission temperature warning light is coming on as soon as 2 miles of mixed speed driving, even in the recent cold spell. The oil level is on the mark and although dull, it certainly isn't a burnt red, however, the transmission tunnel does get quite hot (a...

I'm getting the intermittent EDC light on when driving and throttle doing it's own thing, going anywhere from idle to about 2000rpm and back down, I think it is the throttle potentiometer, so my cruise control isn't working, From what I've read, you either can't get a new unit or they're hard to...

Leaving the battery disconnected while I had lunch did nothing, so I got to work with it all. Looks like the issue was the aftermarket Toad alarm system, I spent this afternoon cutting the insulation tape away to trace the wiring, cut out the wiring and remade original wiring and was all ready...

Can you PM process if you don't want to put it on the open forum please?

I should have said, I don't know if it is the aftermarket (Toad) alarm or factory fitted system that is playing up, as it has both, but looks like it is the factory system that is playing up, as it is that alarm that chirps. Had a look this morning, but it is a right jumble behind the fuse box...

Yesterday, when opening my D1, when I put the key in the ignition, what sounds like a vehicle reversing alarm is sounding from under the dash, until I turn the key, same when I turn the vehicle off, until I pull the key out. I had a quick look when it first started, but couldn't see anythign...

Once again, thanks Discool

Cheers Discool.

Got to replace a couple of brake pipes on my Discovery 1 300tdi (ABS), as all the tools in my tool chest in my garage got stolen a few years ago, including a lot of parts, I've been trying to tot up buying a brake pipe kit or brake pipe, fittings, flare tool etc to make my own. The only D1...

Chers Kevstar, I'll bare you in mind if I need sensors. Thanks Discool: 1, Will have to double check if the engine is dropping to idle when I lift off the throttle (wonder if my Scanner will read the RPM). 2, That is another thing to check, will have to look to see if there are any resistance...

Bought a 1998 300tdi auto a week, had a test drive at the time and all was OK. It has recently had a full service, including transmission oil and filter. Things I've since noticed while driving it are: The rev counter wasn't consistent (1st auto in 20 years), sometimes it will drop to idle...

Try getting your hands on a Warrior K series. Warrior Automotive Research & Design were the 1st engine development company (even beating Rover & Lotus) to get the N/A K to over 200bhp, along with more than enough torque for a Freelander. All steel billet crank, continuing rods & custom ground...

Cheers mate. Yes it is. I find it pretty good, not many people on air in my area, but quite easily get 7+ miles. Easy to set up, built in SWR meter means no need for patch lead & external meter, so install & just adjust aerial. I was more used to the old rigs, my preference was the Uniden...

A few pictures of my 2001 Freelander TD4 commercial. Front spots are believed to be factory fitment, as it has the correct switch to turn them on or off. Roof spots are Cebie Oscar, which my dad had back when he was rallying, so older than me! aftermarket stereo system, CB, auxiliary batteries &...

I just use a couple of basha type tarps off mine. Bunjee to hold in place over roof bars, open rear door & drop window, couple of adjustable hide sticks at the end, bunjees to pull taut, if weather isn't brilliant, I'll attach a second basha to the 1st & that goes down the nearside. Only use my...

I've got slave batteries in my hippo commercial, so can jump off them & they can be separated from the vehicle electrics, I also have my jump pack, which is my preferred method, especially as it's not always possible to get close enough to the other vehicle. A good jump pack will get most...
