[TD4 Crankcase Filter]

Guys,

Does the BMW replacement part fit all TD4 engines or is there different ones same as the original depending on engine number. Also, do you have to get this from BMW or can it be got elswhere at this stage?

I've just spoken to the taste police and they say it's illegal to fit that.

Does that mean that if you had it fitted say 3 years ago you would now have to take it off?

Hi all,

Anyone got any ideas where I can get a stainless steel A-Bar for a Facelift model Freelander 2004 upwards.

This one is from 4x4x4.com but They dnt do them anymore.

I understood that a welded repair to the steering gear would be a (UK) MoT failure, so welding an additional arm could be out.

That track rod end looks to be the business and a decent way forward. The length between the pin and the start of the thread looks to be in the right ball park to use a Series track rod with a RRC/Disco/Defender axle set up. There may be a size that matches the LR TRE characteristics - pin length, taper, thread, etc. Have you got any further info about it - supplier, etc?

Afraid I didn't take note of the website that I found the TRE on with the eye for the drag link but will keep on searching for it. With regard to welding an extra eye on the existing steering arm, I think if it were done professionally it would not even be noticed. Anyway my first piece of the puzzle is to get a swivel housing for the driver side with a forward facing steering arm that will fit those RR axles.

I too am looking at doing this using a RR axle.

The track rod is at the back of the axle that I have so my plan is to get a swivel housing of one of those axles that has the arm on both sides to suit both LHD and RHD. I was thinking that I would then cut the two rear arms off the swivel housings so they wont foul on the leaf springs.

The either weld one of those arms to the arm on the passenger side so to give me the second eye for the drag link. Other option is to use one of those track rod ends that have a built-in eye for a drag link.
