Hi guys,
I’m a newbie here so please take it easy on me as I’m sure I’ll be asking some silly (asked 1million times) questions at times!... of course I’ll check the search engine first!, which is how I stumbled across this very helpful forum!
It has already identified and helped fix a few issues I’ve had with my new purchase already!
So here goes...!
I have a 2007 Freelander 2 Manual HSE diesel 2.2.
1 owner from new with Full Land Rover service history, and 86000 on the clock.
Being a slightly older model a went in expecting a few issues might crop up along the way!! As I own a 1969 Vw camper I thought it should be easier to maintain!!? Lol
So after owning it all of 2 weeks I’ve had the intermittent alarm bonnet issues and whooshing noise with slight judder and loss of power!.... thanks to this site I’m hoping I’ve now cured both... so thankyou.
I’ve also got a hold of a new condition genuine dog guard .... with no fittings!!?.... do the bracket thread came in helpful and that’s my next weekend job to fab something up.
The whooshing and loss of power ended up being the lower RHS Intercooler hose had came lose and neede cleaning pushing back on and tighten correctly... abw that’s cured!?
The alarm I’m aware is a common issue and need to replace the sensor on the bonnet latch (LHS)?!
So.... Thankyou and hope my next update is to be a positive one!
Thanks again .
Paul.
