The glow plug light on my TD4 doesn't come on when I turn on the ignition, even when the engine is stone cold. Its also difficult to start sometimes I've connected up my black box and can get the light to turn on, so its not the lamp. I can also switch the relay with the black box but the lamp...

Have you not tried Jock at English Mobile Mechanics. He seems ok on the TV! :)

To answer my own questions in case anybody searches this later on... Yes, you do need to lower the subframe. Its easy with a trolley jack and just undo the the four bolts. Drive shaft needs removed, half shafts stay, as do suspension links. Exhaust must be disconnected at the three bolt...

Garagedood, its a 52 plate. Must be all the salt on the roads in Aberdeen. They've started gritting already here! Angeloc, Its a bit of a complicated shape. I've got the cradle from the scapper. I'll try and stick some photos on. Yes.... onto the prop shaft!:(

I think I've managed to locate a decent cradle from a breakers. May need some rust remedy and stone chip paint but it still leaves me the problem of fitting it though. If I get time I might take some pictures and post them incase anybody else has the same problem. The guy at the dealers said...

My TD4 has just failed it MOT on brake pipes and track rod ends which were easy enough to fix, however, one of the advisorys which was marked as **DANGEROUS** was the fuel tank cradle being excessively corroded.:( In order to replace it, I guess you need to lower the rear subframe. Has anybody...

Just had the girlfriends TD4 MOTed. No mention that it didn't have a propshaft, mind you, thet didn't spot the roll bar drop link hanging off either.

My girlfriends TD4 was making a horrible knocking sound and there was vibration in the steering, especially when turning left. Is suspected it was the CV joint and peeled the boot back to find the grease had all gone solid and the drive shaft rattles loudly when pushed side to side. No...

The water pump on my TD4 has started leaking and sounds like a bag of spanners clattering about. I've been looking at changing it out and have consulted both Haynes and Rave. Both manuals tell you to remove the camshaft cover. Has anybody tackled this before? Do you need to remove the...

I was trying to drop off the propshaft on my TD4 last night and came up against a problem. The bolts holding the VDU bearings to the underside of the cab are seized solid. Even using an impact hex socket, they just rounded. Managed to get two out (one in each) with a twist grip socket before...

Here... IGNITION SWITCH or here Landrover Freelander Ignition Switch P/N: YXB100350 on eBay (end time 20-Jan-11 09:39:03 GMT)

The connection diagram for these lights is in the Accessories section on the Rave CD, although it doesn't give a wiring diagram as such.

For some reason recently driving my Freelander has been more like steering an ocean liner. When turning corners, the outside wheels feel like they are going to buckle underneath. This happenes even at slow speed (incase somebody comments on my enthusiastic driving style). I suspect the...

From memory it's one long 12 mm bolt. Have you tried jacking the hub up about an inch or so and then letting it down slowly while trying to turn the bolt. You may find that it will move when you have taken the load off it.

Sounds like either siezed caliper guide pins or anti roll bar links.

I bought a Sealey Torque multiplier and used my existing torque wrench. It mutiplies the torque so you only need to set your wrench to 121 Nm. Try here: Torque Multiplier 1/2”Sq Drive | The Tool Den Should also say that it makes it a lot easier to undo it as well.

I disconnected the battery at the end of last week and when I reconnected it, it read "Code". I input what I thought the code was but it came up "Code Wait" and has been like that ever since. I thought this was only meant to last for a minute if you input the incorrect code only once? Anybody...

I have snow tyres fitted to my freelander and it goes anywhere in the snow. Needs to at the moment with the amount we're having near Aberdeen at the moment. The ones I have fitted are: WeatherMaster ST2

Now nothing is working again, even the wipers this time! Must be the bloody snow and water on the multiplug!
