Think the leak is worse now. It drips out near air temp sensor in top intercooler hose. It smokes on...

    FL1 Engine Breather Mod

    Its really easy to change to the BMW mod. I dont think it reduces emissions but it reduces worry as you dont need to check it ever again and worry about a blockage causing an increase in internal pressure.

    winter versus summer fuel consumption

    problem tightening wishbone ball joint nuts

    Sailed through MOT. Handling was a bit vague to say the least on the Kobras until I found that the garage had pumped them up to 40psi the f**kwits. Finally replaced the VCU (at 133K miles) been meaning to for ages. The tightness on full lock has gone and the difference generally is quite...

    problem tightening wishbone ball joint nuts

    Just replaced both front wishbones on my td4 as both ball joints were knackered. All went well except i dont seem to be able to sufficiently tighten the ball joint nuts. They should go to 65nm but even with the freeloader on its wheels with weight through the joints the nuts just spin the...

    Td4 rear brake pipe joint or full replacement?

    Whilst i havent got to the flares yet (still in bottom draw) actually running the new copper pipe from left rear wheelarch to the abs unit inside front right wing is easy.

    Freelander 1 td4 clutch and dmf

    Well at last its all done. Done over two weekends and several evenings. Eventually managed without an engine hoist using a ratchet cargo strap hung over a 2 by 8 straddling the engine bay. Hooked onto the eyes either side of the gearbox which actually helped when i had to rotate the box to get...
