Hi all, I am looking for some advice, the hippo is in the garage with an intermittent starting problem (usually when warm) - i was originally told it would be faulty injectors, or the camshaft sensor. However the garage called today to say that the diagnostics don't show any fuel pressuer or...

Hi all, i'm after some advice on how to deal with an issue with my autobox. While greenlaning this weekend, i selected reverse, got a small slight clunk, and the engine would rev as if it were in neutral. No reverse drive at all. I had F4 on the dash display for a second but it cleared and...

Hi, Im fitting a new VCU and have hit a bit of an obstacle. When removing the old VCU from the prop shafts as per Hippo's excellent guide (thanks for that by the way), the rear prop shaft to VCU came off fine. The front prop shaft however does not want to come off the VCU, ive tried various...

Hi, Not sure if this has been posted here before (didn't find it) but saw it on an FB site and thought it might be useful here: Sprz?g?o wiskotyczne (viscous coupling unit) ENGLISH - Land Rover Jelenia Góra

I'm not sure what it's doing back home in the UK, but in Prague we just got our first snow of the year - 3cm in 2 hours and it's still going strong (should have 15/20cm by the end of the day) I couldn't be happier - the hippo is great in snow and there's nothing i look forward to more than...

Hi, During the course of this year i've had my thermostat replaced, and more recently my expansion tank and cap as well as radiator. Everything has been behaving perfectly, temp gauge always sits half way with no movement and lots of hot air. Yesterday night it was -1 and i was leaving a...

Just curious to see how long various VCU's have lasted :-) - please note when i say failure i mean failure (it was going wrong) rather than it just being changed for peace of mind when the old one might still have been ok.

Finally got around to ordering a radiator to replace my leaky one. Got it from Island 4x4 (Great service, arrived quickly) and it's a Britpart piece (yeah i know about all the Britpart threads on here), anyone got any experience of these? Looks quite nice actually.

Hi, couldn't find this covered: The interior light in my 3dr is quite frankly crap (there's only one light and no map lights) - I have that really stupid glasses holder or whatever it's meant to be at the front instead of a proper interior light. Is there anyway i can fit something like this...

hi, Took the landy to get the glow plugs checked out since they still weren't working - mechanic rang at 12 to say all 4 glow plugs were broken inside - ie in bits. 3 came out ok, 1 he can't get out - all that's left in the head now is the cap / shell from the end. His choices for me were...

Hi, does the prop shaft on a freelander do perfectly straight from the IRD to the rear diff? ie. straight line. Only reason i ask is when my car was lifted to have it's oil changed at the service, standing at the back, i noticed the prop shaft seems to come out of the ird, go to the VCU, which...

Ok, last one for today: 1) Does anyone know if the warning lights in the instrument panel are bulbs or LEDs? 2) Are they user replaceable? (got the cowl and top cover of the dash off, saw the bit for the normal 3 bulbs, didn't investigate further since i didnt want to disconnect my battery to...

Ok, on a roll now sorting little things out. Tried the CCU test mode today - very nice. However during the test, when it gets to seat belt warning light - i noticed it did light up on my dash. If it lights in the test, i guess it's fitted - so how come i never see it otherwise? Or is it fitted...

Quick question about TD4 temperature sensors: 1) Almost everything related to temperature is controlled by the ECT sensor right? 2) In the e-box, there is what looks like a temperature sensor - is it one and if so, what is its purpose? What do its readings affect? 3) RAVE talks about there...

Hi, Was changing my air filter today, the old one looked terrible. The new one was from Bearmach - looked identical to the original but seemed worse quality and was a tight fit. Once fitted I couldn't get the airbox lid to go on properly and seal - one screw particularly - the one at the back...

Hi All, My lift pump (rear wheel arch) cut out on me today - stood by the side of the road i gave it a few taps and managed to get home. I'm trying to source one, since in Prague they are going for around 5800CZK (206 pounds). I've been looking on ebay and am suspicious of pumps like this...

Right, it seems i may have a problem somewhere and would appreciate advice regarding where to look. 1) Car has approx 120K miles on the clock. 2) Regular turning in forwards & reverse at full lock = no major handbrake on feeling, all smooth. 3) Fuel consumption normal 3) i have been hearing a...

Right, minor paranoia has set in after numerous car repairs - ie keep hearing noises (no hallucinations as of yet though :D ) When driving, i hear a very slight creak sound - cant seem to locate where it's coming from (noticied it today first time so havent had a look under). Does seem to be...

Hi, i repaired my broken tailgate regulator cables with an e-bay kit a while ago - but now i'm noticing the tailgate windows does not seem to heat up when the rear window heat button is pressed. I checked the fues in drivers side fuse box, thats fine. The light on the windows heater control...

Anyone fitted this? Just got it today :) i know where it goes and all that - just curious how hard it is to fit the side that just has the small connectors on each individual wire and what the other small black bit is for.
