2000 Freelander 2.0 L series XEDi
Now owned for exactly 1 year....
At -20°c after driving for 20 mins, would suddenly go into crawl home mode with nice plumes of white smoke to block out anyone wishing to overtake .
Recently would start and then cut out 2 seconds later. Did it 20 times in a row. Always started, sounded good and then cut out after 2 seconds.
Next day, outside the garage that had towed it away for me but could'nt diagnose a pre_OBD2, just started up ok so I drove it home. Still don't know what was wrong, will buy a scanner when I find out which ones will scan with older Freelanders
3 diesel return hoses split
Clutch master gave up the ghost.
Leaky steering pump also noisy when minus temp outdoors.
Windows always steaming up (what the bloody hell is it with these things?)
Clunky diff if too sharp on the clutch.
Clunky rear subframe - usual dodgy bolt at one corner- will get round to it once the weather perks up here in Bavari (end of May probably)
Rear passenger door not unlocking with fob or dash switch
TC and HDC permanently glaring at me.
Water in my boot tool box area wotsit.
Takes a good 10 seconds to start at -10°c with three good glow plugs
loses 200ml of water every 1000km
Radio/clock digits start to dissapear when heater heats up the dash area.
nocks and loose bumpy noises at front when driving over rough ground
Understeer is bad in snow when going on sharp corners:crazy_driver:
Try getting the back door open when its frozen outside! (Glass frozen to seals)
Still enjoy getting about in it though!
