Landrover have had the freelander 2 weeks now after the 1st attempt failed to cure the vibration noise (which is quite bad) there has been a notice issued from Landrover as it is a known fault on 06 TD4's, in fact the loan car is possibly worse than mine.
Any way asked them to check the performance as the freelander is sluggish and very clattery, the loan one is a lot fitter, quieter, smoother etc, etc. Also mine feels like the handbrake is on when reversing with lock on, again loan one doesn't, garage blamed the slightly bigger wheels??
Anyway they have had it 2 weeks, sorted the gear linkage with new linkage and bushes and reverse which I think is the IRD? just the engine now which could be the injectors/engine management, they said it will be trial and errors as there are no lights.
Not bad for an 06 with 3500miles on, gear box out, IRD out and now engine in bits!!!
Any comments welcome, are these common?
P.S. garage have been excellent, told me to keep the loan car for as long as it takes until the car is repaired to their satisfaction, how goods that they normally give you it back with endless trips, calls, letters back and forth. I did read the Landrover garages now have one of the best customer satisfaction reports, on this example I would agree..........shame about the old freelander.
