Hi and welcome. I havent been here long but these guys really know their stuff. You just have to dig out the quality info from all the nuttyness. But hey, reading through the posts always brings a smile to my face.:D

Are you calling my dog gay!:confused: :D

I love my L series and would recommend one to anyone. Its not quitest smoothest ride, but if you want that you dont buy a freelander or a diesel. I find it ok on fuel consumtion, easy to drive, not too noisy and loads of room for the holidays etc. My wife loves it to. I change the oil often...

I fitted one recently and yea, seller should have supplied the bits to connect it up. You might be able to buy the fitting kit seperate or you might be able to manufacture your own. The rear trim on the rear door needs cutting into and all the measurements are on a bit of paper that comes with...

Mine is an R reg 98 2.0 DI. Its got 123K on the clock and has no problems at all! Its running in mondo mode still and with a bit extra in the tyre pressures it truly drives like a sportlander.:D I give it an oil change every 3000 miles. Possibly too often but I know someone who knows someone...

Dont know the make but its part number is LHP100840. Dont know if that helps. Also had fuel injection pump belt changed and the AUX belt. Could of done that one myself, but I was feeling lazy.:o

Just had my cambelt done at the local specialist and they reckon by the state of it, this was its 1st change. My FL 2.0 DI has done 123000 miles, so over due by a little bit! The bloke at the garage says that it obviously needed doing, but he has never heard of one of these cambelts snapping...

My FL is a 1998 2L DI with 17" alloys and I noticed that the tyres looked flat and handled poor on 30 PSI. I upped it to 32 front 34 rear and it looks better, handles better and having now covered about 5000 miles since uping pressure, I cant say that iv noticed any excess wear around the centre...

I would do what loatmead said, but you need a spare car/battery to do it. The problem with volt meters is they put no load on the battery. What this means is they can show up 'ghost voltage'. Ie the volts are there but there is simply not enough current. You can buy discharge testers that put a...

My mate is into the modding scene (max power) etc in a big way and he is always stripping and rebuilding engines. In his opinion, modern oils and fuels all have detergent etc in them and an engine simply wont build up the sludge etc that they used to in the bad old days. I dont know how true...

Thanks for the welcome Ming. Its nice to see a bit of humour. Other similar sites have been too.... whats the word.....Geeky for me!

I was thinking that at some point id like a newer FL, one with A TD4 engine. But now iv read your post I guess i will just stay with my trusty beast. I do love it.:)

Iv done the same and removed my undertray. Had to chisel the rivets off by removing the side splash plates. Oil changes are a 20 min job now and can be done without jack or axle stands (im quite thin!). The only thing is my aux belt looks a little exposed (my FL is a L series diesel). I will...

My FL is a 1998 2 litre L series Diesel. Its got 130000 on the clock and apart from a new prop its hardly had any jobs done to it. I had to have brake pipes replaced from corrosion, but that would happen on any car. I do change my oil every 3000 miles and treat her with TLC, but touch wood so...

Just because the MOT centre is putting the FL on the RBT doesnt mean its right. Plenty of MOT centres make mistakes. We are ll only human after all. I recently had my FL MOTd and they wouldnt put it on the RBT for fear of damaging it because you cant turn off the 4WD. On a seperate note, I have...

It has a high-pitched squeal from either side when driving at low speed on full lock you say. With out actualy hearing it its hard to say, but all power steering systems make a squeal at full lock because this is when they are under most pressure. Could it be this perfectly normal noise or is...
