probably a hole in the sender unit bubble but I can not see that myself, but it could be a loose connection try that first although the Freelander gauges are not that accurate

Am I right in thinking if it's the float at fault I would need to buy the whole pump unit ?they seem very expensive !!

There should be no pump in yer tank ...just a sender unit as below,
Land Rover Freelander 1 2.O Di in tank fuel level sender (not a pump) | eBay

You have a low pressure pump just forwards of the drivers side rear wheel and a high pressure pump on the engine block just above the dip stick by the left hand engine mount

Part number is YAD000080
The reason I know is that the kind people on here sorted me out a couple of weeks ago.
I bought it on eBay for about £45 inc postage.

My local LR specialist fitted it for me.
They didn't know about this part but they looked up the number on their system and it was about £53

(Update) I ordered the part YAD000080 fitting it was a bit fidly getting the float chamber seated back on the seals but all is good the gauge now works fine .it turns out it was one of the connectors had corroded off so it could have been a simple fix saving me £75 ! Ho hum you live and you learn:crazy:
