    Advice on Buying

    I'm looking for a low cost tow car, for small caravan max budget 5K No chance of a Freelander 2. My family have had most of the options over the years and the summary is the 1.8 wasn't great for towing but the Freelander 1 facelift TD4 that replaced it was fine. The Freelander 2 that replaced...

    Creaking subframe - recommend a wiltshire garage!?

    Creaking and groaning from the back end so I suspect the subframe needs some fixing. Does anyone know of a garage that has done the welding to repair it all around Wiltshire? Would rather take it somewhere that knows what they are doing already! Cheers Andy

    Td4 Lack of power at 70mph - fixed !

    Swapped part and doesn't cut out as before but can be a bit sluggish still when pushed. Straight forward to fit at least. Found a slight split in an intercooler hose so silicones ordered. The fuel economy issue from reading could be maf? Will give it a good clean and see what happens next.

    Td4 Lack of power at 70mph - fixed !

    Hi all This became an issue on the run to the Alps last week - quite annoying on long hills!! I was able to mostly hold the speed a little higher before the hills though :) Anyway - this thread is excellent and am ordering the part. My question is did anyone else notice increased fuel...

    bmw crankcase breather

    Mine looked similar but with more oil dripping off!! Had to trim a slight bit of plastic from the housing to fit the BMW part but other wise its straight forward. Be ready for the little plastic T pieces for the fuel injector return lines to snap though. they really are in the way and are...

    Egr Blanking Mod

    Got a egr bypass off ebay and fitted at the weekend. This was the state of the egr. Car has 140k on the clock and seemed fine just a little sluggish. I also cleaned the inlet manifold, its not spotless but a lot better! Its not a rocket ship but the improvement in pick up is noticeable and...

SO i opted for recon (actually ended up with a brandnew transfer box from landrover for recon prices thanks to some help from a...

    fitting rear seats to defender 90 hardtop

    Make sure that you dont put them to far back towards the side windows/panel as it makes the seat back to steep to particulary comfortable on a longer journies! Apart from that its pretty easy. Andy

    Where to find a used Defender 200 Tdi engine?

    Maybe breakers yards but expect to pay a premium for one from a defender.

    TransferBox Broken

    Well I got a new UJ and oil seal put on last week whilst i was away. Then i took the 90 up to the lake district on Thursday for the weekend. It broke down after 340 miles, the UJ exploded and damaged the front prop aswell. It seems unlikley to have two dodgy UJs in the space of 400 miles so I...

    TransferBox Broken

    Hiya. Thanks for the info, I had a closer look to suss out why the flange came loose and I think its because the Uinveral Joint at the end of the front prop before it goes in to the transfer box had worn and was shaking. There was a large amount of movement in it and i think this shook the...
