Afternoon all, I've always though the heated seat switches in my 54 plate SE TD4 were left & right handed but are they really? I can see that they have different parts numbers but the left & right on my car look remarkably similar. I'm tempted to just try the ledft hand switch attahed the the...

Afternoon all I have an issue with my clutch in as much as the clutch pedal pokey out bit that locks onto the end of the master cylinder push rod has popped out. I've popped it back in but I'm not convinced it's going to hold long. Am I correct in thinking that the bit on the clutch pedal is...

Morning all, Please can someone point me in the direction of decent aftermarket front drive shaft assemblies for an 04 TD4. Thanks guys Fritz

Hey all So when I first get in the car in the morning I get a knocking noise from the front offside when going forward on full left hand lock. It seems to go away once the car has been driven for a few minutes. Now some of you may remember that I had an MOT fail for a torn CV gaitor a while...

So I've been looking at using solar panels to charge a leisure battery to use when I'm fishing/ camping mainly to power a fridge to keep the beers cold :D. This was nothing to do with the car, just a stand alone system. It's very doable with plenty of spare capacity (battery never draining more...

Gents Is the part YDB500311 interchangeable with YDB500310? It's the rear nearside parking sensor. Cheers fritz

So I'm going to drain and refill the coolant this weekend (should have done it months ago!!) and reading RAVE it says "Flush the system with water under low pressure. Do not use water under high pressure as it could damage the radiator". Now on previous cars I've owned I usually drain the...

Hi all, Service time and skint as usual so doing it myself following the attached check sheet but I have a few questions if I may. The vehicle has a full service history with Jag/ LR Main Dealers or Approved Specialists. Last service at 88 k miles is ticked as "Oil Service" only. Last "A"...

So the vehicle failed its MOT this morning on the following: Split left outer CV boot Ball joint dust cover damaged on lower front wishbone (both sides) So nothing too dramatic - and they only want £ 540 to fix it :rolleyes: so clearly they won't be doing the work. When I get a chance I'll...

So Friday night I managed to reverse into a low wall. No major damage but the parking sensors no longer work. Here is a photo of the damage. The sensor was actually hanging out so I pushed it back in. I think that may have been a mistake but it's done now. So when I put the car into...

Hi guys On my face lift someone's hit my nearside wing mirror, which is still fine other than the heated bit no longer seems to work. I have a non face lift (currently dead) and was wondering if they are a direct swap? Fritz

So usually I run Michelin Latitudes (about £ 90 a wheel) and I need two for the front. Rear are probably 50% worn so don't need replacing just yet but obviously I would prefer to change all of them if I could afford it. Anyway I've been offered five cheap tyres by a mechanic mate of mine who's...

So this is annoying... Driving back from Plymouth in the snow yesterday I noticed that the rear wiper doesn't wipe the top half of the window. In fact it does but it barely touches it and I only noticed it because of the salt deposits being smeared into a thin layer across the top of the glass...

Evening all So driving home this evening my missus decided to open the rear n/s passenger window. There was a crunching sound and the window is stuck about 4 inches down. Had to laugh because it was where she was sitting and it was blowing a gale with driving rain directly at her for the rest...

Hi guys I have a rear window issue!! So yesterday two things happened but I'm not sure if they are directly related. I was driving with some heavy (ish) tools in the back. On pulling away from some lights there was a loud clunk like something hitting the rear door from the inside. When I went...

So nice and frosty this morning and the perfect chance to try out the heated front screen. Works great if you're in the passenger seat but not good at all from the drivers seat; in fact it's non existent. Anyway I've checked the two fuses in the supplementary fuse box and they seem ok (I...

No, seriously I do. The nearside front wiper has gone floppy. It seems to be the spindle rather than the wiper arm (although I'm struggling to get the arm off at the moment) so I'm guessing an issue with the linkage. In fact when I pull on the wiper blade I can see the whole spindle moving in...

Hi So I'd like to switch out the factory fitted head unit with an after market one to get hands free & DAB. I know I need an adaptor plate and some leads but I'm not sure if I need one for power& speakers and another for SWC or whether a single ISO will do both? Also, the unit itself. E-bay...

Hi Please could someone let me know if the replacement BMW cyclone oil separator fits the facelift Freelander? I don't have an issue but learnt the hard way that if these clog up it gets messy so thinking of changing it as a precaution. Fritz

Hi I wonder if someone could help with a possible coolant fan problem. I have a 2002 TD4 and I don't think the coolant fans are kicking in. The temperature gauge doesn't go over half way, well maybe a tad over on a long run, but the engine smells hot and is radiating heat. Recently it...
