Hi Simon, I not so long ago had the job of the n/s rear drive shaft oil seal. And as you've already mentioned I ended up using a block of wood and a hammer a good solid bump and out it came.

I've fitted a usb charging point in the rear of the centre armrest

Hi, No I didn't but I did it on my drive which has a slope, so that combined with the height it was raised up and supported on 1 corner, I left three wheels on the ground meant no oil came out. I would imagine if it was done on level ground you would loose some of the oil. Dave

Changed the offside rear driveshaft oil seal. Bugger to get the old one out. Lots of choice words .

Sorted now the splines didn't quite line up I moved the freelander literally 1 inch on the drive and it went together. Couple more bits then the beer is to be had. Dave

Hi I've changed my rear offside drive shaft oil seal this morning and now on putting the drive shaft back into the rear diff I cannot get it to fully engage it appears to want to go in another couple of inches or so. Am I missing a trick here. Thanks for your help I need a pint but can sort...

Thanks for the reply very helpful. Dave

I'm getting organized to attempt to change the rear drive shaft oil seals (seals ordered) , looking on rave it says to remove and replace the circlips prior to re-fitting the driveshafts back into the rear diff. Now my question is after doing a search on here for the easiest method for...

Ah...... thanks for that description I think I get it. I will have another go over the weekend. Dave

Thanks for the info. Dave

Hi I tried amongst other jobs this morning I tried to remove the expansion tank/bottle to renew it on my 56plate td4, the plastic screw that holds it in place is just turning not loosening if I force it ! what type of screw could I replace it with?? what does it screw into ? is it into a...

Thanks for the continuing input into the thread everyone it's making interesting reading. Dave

Thanks for the lengthy replies. The crankcase filter has been changed. I'll check the hose. The coolant temp sensor and air intake sensor I'll look at. Dave

Sorry should have been clearer. It's a 20% difference individually. Dave

Hi I have a Td4 56 plate facelift the problem is at tick over when cold, the symptoms are a light "fluttering/hunting" of the revs if I apply a little gentle throttle say up to 1100revs it continues. When warm it ticks over fine drives ok . No smoke of any colour. I did a leak back test and...

Swapped out the inlet manifold for one I got off e.bay. It was hard to get clean, oven cleaner, jet wash lots of choice words. Only took 30 minutes to change over but i had it overnight soaking in oven cleaner to get the used one clean.

Got the new discs and pads fitted when I got in from work this afternoon, no dramas.

Thanks for a very in-depth reply it's appreciated. Dave

Just a quick question I assume all the freelander 1- td4 inlet manifolds are the same. The reason I ask is I fancy cleaning mine out after seeing the inside of the EGR when I fitted the bypass recently, I was thinking about buying one to have as a spare clean just to refit. They seem cheap...

Hi I have a 2006 facelift td4 after doing a leak back test. It appears if I'm understanding the results correctly (Injectors 2,3,4 leaked back 25% more than number1 in the same time) that I might require some new injectors. Is my understanding correct? If so any opinions on where to buy them...
