Traded it in for a Freelander 2 :D

Taking the old one out was a pain in the a***. 2.5 hours of drilling out and chipping away - it was totally siezed. Think that's why it bust, new cv joint couldn't move the sensor and ground the end off it! Fitting the new one was a breeze - half an hour.:)

Fitted £25 abs sensor from fleabay- works a treat, I'm sure the £300 one that the stealer wanted to sell me would have made the amigo's disappear as well !:D

Got home through blizzards and a closed road Wot a great car!:praise:

Have look at this thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/2004-throttle-body-46795.html and check out the Rave cd

Replaced cat so in all honesty probably can't blame him

Think my IACV may be knackered - hunts when idling and stutters when I take my foot off the gas. When the ignition is on the stepper motor is continually moving - this doesn't seem right? Anyway I've got an older K series IACV (the one with the right anle inlet) - anyone know if it will fit in...

fair point bigsi13 - Doc, I'm off to drink beer on a deckchair!!

Cheers doc - which end should I light and how far away should I stand?

Been snoopin around the forum for a while, no questions as yet until now - bought a Freelander 1.8 last year in the snow - last 4x4 left for sale in the world! Then checked what they're like - oh sh*t. HGF 3 days after purchase - dealer fixed it though out of the kindness of his heart. I've...
