Hi All,
Well as of Saturday morning I have a RWC for the Hippo.. Here is a list of things that have been done to it over the journey..
5 x Alloy Wheels & Tyres (mainly bought for the tyres, near new)
20 x Wheel Nuts (the alloys use different nuts compared to the steel wheels)
Haynes Workshop Manual
Cam Belt, Idler Pully, Tensior, etc
Water Pump
All new Radiator Hoses
All new Heater Hoses
Full Service - all filters (oil, fuel, air)
Full Service - all fluids (engine oil, diff oils, gearbox oil, coolant)
Wiper Blades (2 x front, 1 x rear)
Front Rotors & Pads
Driving Lights (existing ones both broken)
Bonnet Hinge Covers
Head Lining
New Main Battery
New Fob Battery
Interior Globes
Grab Handle Clips
Flexible Exhaust Pipe
Drive Shaft - front prop shaft, centre bearings, balanced.
RH front ball joint
Rear Wheel Cylinders
Clutch/Brake pedal rubbers
Front Drive Shafts (both sides)
Injector Pump & injectors - refurbished
I think that's about it... Well at least it's all that I can remember.
I have learnt a bit about these vehicles over the journey so far. For example - it seems to be a common fault that the injector pumps leak, and then there's the drivetrain..
A brand new injector pump is.. Wait for it... $7K ex UK.
A refurbished (exchange basis) from Rimmer Brothers ex UK - $6K
A complete new drive train (end to end) ex UK is $3K
It's no wonder that when these old Freelanders have these issues, they are parked up for parts...
Anyway - hoping to get it registered this week..
Cheers,
GG.
