    Freelander 1 td4

I’ve ran the codes and nothing stored but one code did come up (well not a code) but “low side fuel pressure sensor...

    Freelander 1 1.8 clutch fork/swivel bar

    Freelander 1 auto inhibitors switch

    Nothing obvious wrong, although the actual groove for neutral feels bit sloppy. definatly strange as every gear selects fine at the little light comes on next to the selected gear. Apart from neutral.

    Freelander 2 i6

    Hi guys, just purchased a Freelander 2 i6 hse and absolutely love it. the problem I’m having is once they let is in the ignition it’s very hard to get back out.

    Evening , I usually get great success with fault finding with the help of you guys so I’m hoping this is no different. the central locking has stopped working on our Freelander but at the same time so has rear window. It has gone down and won’t come up? I’ve checked fuzes and all seam ok.

    Freelander td4 engine noise when revved

    Hi I thought I’d check back in, the noise has stopped now, it appears snake oil does work. I do have black smoke when booting it but there’s a split in boost pipe so I’m hoping once the boost pipe is replaced the smoke will disappear.

    Freelander td4 engine noise when revved

    I will have a good listen tomorrow, just been out with it and it’s thick black smoke coming out the back. Timed well with the noise. Pretty good chance this is injectors due to smoke maybe?

    Freelander td4 engine noise when revved

    I thought injectors due to smoke, it’s doesn’t sound like engine noise to be honest but can injectors really make a noise like that?

    Freelander td4 engine noise when revved

    Ok but at low revs up to 3k there’s no noise, and none at 4K. Also noise sounds higher up than crank. every time it makes the noise you get a puff of smoke? Black smoke

    Freelander td4 prop shaft

    Hi guys I’ve got a Freelander 1 td4 auto I’ve just purchased but there was no prop on it (obviously developed a fault) and they done away with. I’ve found a low mileage complete unit but it’s from a manual. So the question is will it fit? matt
