I am a complete newbie to this site, trying to repair a vehicle myself and Land Rovers in general.
A colleague of mine gave me this 2001 Freelander ES as a gift as he knew I wanted to tinker with it and had purchased a new car.
When reversing, I am often getting a groaning/creaking noise which sounds like from toward the rear end, I have also notice that when I get this noise, it feels as though the wheels have ceased up as there is no roll if I put the clutch in, it also takes more power to move it and quite often stalls!
I don't know if this could be linked or is normal, but when driving forwards I also have the ABS light on the dash until I pick up speed and get a rattle/knocking noise when shifting gears?
I know, it's a very unhappy Freelander, but if at all possible, I'd love to try and get it running properly again.
Any advice on what could be causing the above would be great....please bare in mind though that I'm a complete novice an am struggling a little with the lingo!
