Presumably i need to use EAS unlock to depressurise the system? Then swap the parts and switch the engine on to repressurise again? Just thought i'd check before jumping in!! Cheers

I replaced my rear air pipes recently. Don't think this has anything to do with it, but just history. Had a blowing exhaust which melted the lines. Replaced them and everything all good for a couple of hundred miles. Was away on holiday last week and took my laptop along with my newly...

Anyone actually tried to use the guarantee yet? Mine blew out - i've tried replacing the collet but i can't seem to get a seal. Just been to the local indy and bought a new spring (just the standard one) and it still won't lift. thinking i'll take it back and try get a new spring on warranty...

i have survived for quite a few months with only the odd check in - was all going well until... was loading a trailer with rubble today, then heard pshhhhhh... the air hose had popped out of the rear left spring. i replaced the springs about 3 years ago, and have never had a problem since...

as title. has anyone got one / able to resync my 2000 4.0?

so went out this morning and put the key in, car told me "alarm triggered", didn't think much of it. then turned the key and it's turning over, but not even trying to fire up. was working beautifully up to now!?! it has also said traction failure. don't want to turn over any more as the...

Ever since i let my wife drive the rangie on a regular basis, my courtesy light has never come on when you open the door. It comes on if i push the button, but stays on. Any trick to getting it to come on when the door is opened and go off with it closed? Pain in the a.. more than anything...

Thanks you to all who offered advice and help - finished doing the heads earlier today, fired up first time with only a little adjustment required to the throttle cable (idling at 3000rpm is maybe a little fast) so back to loving it! and i'd say to anyone facing a head gasket job that its...

How the hell do you get the drive belt back on? (4.0 HSE) i haven't removed the fan, which i'd prefer not to have to, and i've loosened the 15mm nut - the tensioner doesn't move anywhere! last thing before filling with fluids and start up - driving me nuts

Anyone got any magic tricks for getting stuck head bolts out? I've got 5 in total completely stuck Either that or any tricks to get them out if they round over!

So I was out trying to sus out a compression leakage, suspected spark plug loose/cross threaded/something. 2nd plug from front on RHS (4.0 year2000) absolutely stuck in, not going anywhere. Started to turn, thought great! Then that moment when the sockets came away and left half the plug in...

Before Christmas my alternator fell apart, got traction failure on dash and lost all electrics. Proper failure really, thankfully that was on the way to the auto spark. Since the failure the heater blowers are stuck on one setting, thankfully blowing -if they were off I'd be sunk. I've had new...

Car failed MOT at weekend for rear brake pipes being all old and tired looking. Garage has quoted anything up to 4 hours labour to fit. I'm fairly handy with a spanner, but is it worth me doing the job, bearing in mind I ain't got a lift and will be doing it on a cold driveway with only a...

At least i hope its the alternator! It seems to be coming from behind the black plastic cover at the back of the alternator. No problems with anything in the car at all. Its almost silent on idle, but when you rev it, it sounds like shaking a bag of bolts. Sound-proofing round the bonnet is...

Really strange one - 4.0 HSE year 2000 P38 which I've had for almost 2 years. Last week I got into it on a quiet morning and heard a low tone rythmic ticking/clicking electrical noise coming from somewhere behind / under the glovebox area. It has been going ever since, ticking every second or...

What do you think - bargain or potential nightmare??? LAND ROVER FREELANDER XDi diesel - Auto Trader UK What should i ask about? I've read all about VCU and tippex test, etc. but grateful for any advice specifically about the high mileage Di... Thanks, Shane

Hi, Grateful for any advice. The wife has decided she likes the look of the freelander 1, which i dont disagree with, but with the budget I've got, I'll be looking at buying something around 98-2000, probably 1.8 (around 2 grand, 3 if i really stretch to something newer) I've got a 4.0 HSE...

Hi, Had some work done recently on my P38 4.0 - can someone advise what the normal operation sequence is for the engine management light on startup? Mine comes on and matches what the battery light does - i.e. goes off as soon as the engine starts. The guy told me it may have been wired...
