    2001 TD4 Water Pump replace quotes

    damn I love this car. Lots of very happy times. Great snow car. Failed the MOT. Drop links & trailing arms, brake pipe corrosion. Those I regard as normal old car upkeep. But the Water Pump sounds like about to die, and I been quoted around £120 for a Pump and £600 labour. So, do I spend on...

    Freelander 1 Does Headlight Dip use a relay?

    My 2001 TD4, I found the full-beam won't stay on when I pull on the stalk back when driving at night with the dipped beam on as normal. I recall when it did work, there was a click... but I don't remember if this was from a mechanical click in the stalk, or if the click comes from a relay...

    Freelander 1 Steering Lock causing Fan Noise ??

    When I engage the last 7/8th of wheel-lock steering, such as turning a tight corner, I hear a clattering, screaming noise from deep in the bonnet area. It sounds like a fan clattering on something - it only appears when I have the cabin fan switched on. No fan, no noise. How the 'eck is my...
