Re: Compression test

It's meant to be spot on when it had the full new kit on it. But my car was out when that was also meant to be spot on by the same garage. So for piece of mind I'm getting the LR garage to check that first, then look at a compression test next if the timing is in fact perfect. Hopefully it will be j...

Re: Anyone fitted one of these?

I am, but there are other issues I need to sort on the freelander now. Still got to find this starting problem, it's going back to have the timing checked again. As the garage that did it also did car and that was out!

Compression test

Does anyone know the best way to test the compression on the L-series?
I think this is the next on the list of sorting out the starting issue I have on my freelander.
