try looking below your electrc box half way between the battery and bulkhead it might be there but very hard to see

Thanks for the help but tried looking there already Filter must be in tank and therefore not a serviceable component. Bought all spares from LR dealer who told me that at 60k, fuel filter should be changed. Didnt tell me its in tank! Yella Disco knew that already but didnt want to impart any of his vast knowledge of Freelanders
Thanks again Nobby

what sort of filter have they give you

Filter they sold me is tube about 5" long with backng plate with bolt holes. Looks like it should be bolted to engine bulkhead, but not. Obviously when LR built freelanders with 15 known design problems, fuel filter got forgotten so bunged it in tank and sold idiots like me replacement.

have you got a pic of the filter it dont sound like any i have heard of

nobby · Mar 12, 2006

Sorry, no pic of filter but its stamped on box" Freelander 2000- Fuel Filter"

Have you noticed that all the other comedians who said" mechanics ****e" have all gone very quiet! Perhaps its something I said.

Maybe one has to cut the fuel line and insert such a filter after 60K ? (leaving the original one in the tank doing nothing ??)

Maybe yes, maybe no, but this can't keep going on for ages. When all is sorted out it will be very much appreciated to know the details as this might in the future be of help for other forum members? Tnx in advance anyway. (Don't forget it's sunday, this kind of wordstruggles are normally reserved for week/working days

I agree. I joined the forum expecting constructive help from other LR owners. To date all I`v got is stupid remarks about Freelanders are crap, my mechanic is crap and should know where the filter is, and dont bother with the filter as the car is gong to f*** up anyway. Its nice to talk to someone who actually uses the site for the purpose for which it was intended.
Thanks again Nobby

i honestly didn't know where the fuel filter was/is on a freelander. as for putting an inline filter in the system this is a no-no as the original filter will become blocked and there will not be enough pressure to pump the fuel into the injection system. i would lift up the back seat, check if there is an inspection plate, if so remove this and there should be access to the filter housing in the swirl chamber. it will need replacing otherwise it will fill with **** and become clogged therefore stopping the flow of fuel. i hope this is of help to you and not as you put it a snyde(good word) answer

yella · Mar 12, 2006

try in the bot for an access panel
