If you're stuck and can get someone to hold it in Stourport I'll be passing up the M5/M42 way on 7th Feb so could probably get it to Northallerton for you.

Have read the sticky and it's not the same so thought I'd post. Had two new front tyres and noticed a 'rumbling' vibration from the back at about 40-45 mph, more so when braking, striaht after fitting. At this time I had mismatched tyres on the rear (I know, not good). Changed the two rear...

Plug is in the offside rear quarter behind the panel that has the little cubby in it (well, on the 3dr anyway) just behind the wheel arch. To get it off you need to remove the strip that runs the width of the car beneath the rear door, or at least the end couple of screws. There are 4...

When I got the front seat covers there were 2 different sizes of head rest covers included in the pack, so two were left over. They may include different size ones with the rear cover set too?

Cheers for that Ming, I decided against doing it while away as I ran out of time, but should get round to it in the next week or so. Glad I didn't try it without all my tools and a pub close by to retire to when it all gets difficult...

Got a new aux drive belt for my TD4 and wondering if I need to jack up the front to change it. Haynes says yes, RAVE says no. I'd trust RAVE over Haynes but might be doing it this weekend when away at my parents so need to know whether to take the trolley jack/axle stands with me or not bother...

Got a wave ski (big surf board/kayak) off ebay and the seller's holding it in Exeter until I can get there (nice guy, but then I have already paid). Would require roofrack or 8' x 3' clear space to shift, though weight is minimal (<20kg). Anyone heading this way (or part thereof)...

North Yorks to Swansea. Short notice - going tomorrow morning as long as the UK road network hasn't decided to close. I've already packed the table salt just in case.... ;) Will be coming back (Swansea to Yorks) on sunday on a tight schedule but could detour briefly if it would help anyone.

That was me who posted the exact same problem. I've not sorted it yet but I haven't ever had five up so not been a problem. Loads of freelander seatbelts on ebay but none for the centre :(

Looks like I may have missed out on this now but will find out for definite soon. Cheers anyhow :)

Looking to get a wave ski (like a surf board you sit on) from Tarleton, Lancs and need it in North Yorkshire. 8' by 3' board normally works nicely on roof bars :) Currently have an email in to the seller about delaying pickup as I can't get there for a couple of weeks, but if anyone is heading...

The middle belt in the back of my 3 dr 2003 is U/S - locked quite tight and won't release with the usual wiggling. I've not tried taking the unit out yet as I haven't got hold of the required star(?) bits to take it off, but just wondered if anyone else has worked with these and whether taking...

Thanks for the adivce. Sean came through with the calmac website Island Hopscotch / Rover which has been a great help to me. I'm glad I'm starting this well in advance as I think this is going to be a good trip if I organise it properly. I'll keep an eye out for live music as I enjoy...

Not a problem, more a bit of a niggle. I've got an 03 TD4 auto which (finding a bit of wood to grab) is working nicely for now. I've only had it for a month or so but have noticed a bit of a 'problem'. When changing from drive to neutral, the box is obviously going into neutral, but most of...

Thanks for the name/link - I knew I'd seen something on here recently but for some reason it didn't come up on a search - probably user error :rolleyes: PM sent anyway, hopefully I'll get some pins in the map before too long. I'm sure there must be some others out there who have visited/know...

Not sure about the veering but the vibration at high speeds (60+ for me) I had and found to be a broken front diff mount. This had also led to a UJ being knackered and the local main dealer had never changed one before so it took two days for them to get hold of one! Local garage sorted it and...

Not really an expedition as such but a bit of forward planning to a trip camping for a fortnight and touring the Hebrides (Outer & Inner is the plan). Will be just me and my gaylander with bike, kayak and fishing rod all fitted in/on somewhere. Did West coast of Ireland a couple of years ago...

Cheers Optimus - nice and helpful reply. I know there's always good advice around here but for some reason expected the first reply to tell me to get a Disco or Depender which would solve all my problems miraculously ;) I don't regularly carry ladders, but if they're only £30 for clamps I'm...

Bought some roof bars for my 3 door (Mont Blanc for £49.99 from Sparesworld - nice for the price) to carry the occasional kayak (~14 foot) or ladders. It did strike me however when I was looking at things that the fitted roof bars are a long way back on the body. If I'm taking the big double...

Well I'll certainly be going to them again - very good service and can't fault the bits. Hippo life is an expensive thing! Car's in at the local garage with injector 2 being replaced, and on asking for a check underneath for minor knocking noise have discovered the front diff mount was doing...
