Doesn''t matter whether you bought it from a dealer or privately your consumer rights still stand that it was sold unfit for purpose. take it back, get your money back, recoup moneys for recovery etc and either buy a discovery / 90 / 110 whatever you need, just not a gaylander.:doh:
 
a car daeler can give what warranty they fill fit to give you say the car was not fit for the purpose in what way was it not fit for the purpose

Wrong you have statutory rights see link below
 
possibly a failed / leaky injector if it does it when cold, failed cam sensor if hot.

welcome to the forum, welcome to the world of freelandering
 
Foxwood, i feel for you. i bought on 04 TD4 60K on th clock full service history see my threads.

It has cost so far £2500 in repair bills, my advice take it back and demand your money back.

These cars cost serious money when they go wrong and at 04 or older they generally will.
 
:doh:thanks for replying, dropped freelander off at guy salmons,dealer payin for it to be sorted .just off out to buy a chocolate fryin pan, salesman sez they are great.

Had a similar fault on the new Isuzu Trooper I bought, it was the no return valve that stops the diesel leaking back into the tank when you stop the engine. The dealership fitted a "non Isuzu" replacement and it never did it again. Easy way to find out if it is this valve, if it has one that is, according to Isuzu if you crank the engine over and over and over it will pump fuel through and eventualy it will start.

Regards.

Guy Salmon IS a Landrover dealer??

Sorry your having problems, but at least it happened within the time of the warranty expiring.. pray that anything else that goes wrong, will do, and in the next 30 days!
