Hi PompeyVW Welcome to LandyZone (Loonyzone :D) I'm a new member myself and I drive a 1999 diesel 5dr. As far as I know all Freelander diesels has turbo's (If I'm wrong please correct me anyone?). Mine isn't slow and it does have power, this is when everything is working 100% (Think I have an...

Thanks sparkyjohn5. I switched it of disconnected and test drive and switched off connected and test-drive again. No joy... :(

Hi All Could the injectors be the root of my problem? :confused: What is the symptoms of faulty or blocked injectors? Just a thought...

Thanks for the reply Sandgroper :) What is the best way to test a sensor? Unplug it and see if it makes a difference or a diagnostic test? :confused: And anybody knows what the MAP sensor does? There is a vacuum pipe going from the MAP sensor to the turbo

Hi This morning when driving to work I noticed It makes a white/light blue smoke when pulling away from an intersection but not while driving. :( Any ideas or commits would be appreciated :D Thank you all ;)

Hi All When driving my Freelander (1999 5dr 2.0 diesel) it feels like the turbo is not "kicking in" :( Could this be the MAP sensor? :confused: I read on Roverron's webpage that the MAf sensor doen not have a effect on the L-series engine in this regard? Please correct me if i'm wrong. :o...

Hi joebow8 I suppose you did check the CV's and engine mountings? :confused: Mine was doing the same thing and it was the inner CV's and an engine mounting and ball joint. :( Best of luck ;) Chris

Both front CV's. Engine mounting Both ball joint's Brake disks No power after 3000rpm (still!!!) :confused: HDC, TC and ABS light's burning Brake cylinder seals Poor ventilation

Thanks a lot doobreydog Just need to get this getting married thing sorted out... :p But I will definitely use Harvey's product and post it to SA.:D Sometimes this country is up to sh.. :mad:

Thanks doobreydog After having my car at a few so called experts that couldn't find the problem I found it eventually myself, the inner CV on the passenger side had it's day. :( I saw the pic's of your freelander, how did you lift it? I phoned a few places here in South-Africa and the best reply...

Hi Might be a bit off topic but how do I get the EGR lose and do I need to take of the inlet manifold ass well and clean all of it? :confused: And does anybody have the part number for the EGR? :o Any help or advice would be appreciated. I did go to roverron's webpage but I'm stil not to...

Hi Has anybody replaced their standard radio with something else and how did you get the old radio out and the new one in? :o I want to replace mine with something new, should be able to play mp3 etc. Any ideas? :confused: Thanks:)

Hi eccodale I did mine myself asswell, replaced the disks and pads. Only problem I had was with the 2 "screw's" on each disk, they we rusted solid, but I managed eventually, appart from that it's very simple and easy. Enjoy!!! :)

Hi Willa I phoned them, they can get the whole driveshaft for R2000 +vat. A place in Jhb called Dover Parts (Also importing directly from UK) can give it to me for R1964 +vat if I pay cash. Don't know which city/Town you live in but if you are intrested their details are: Dover Parts 011 493...

Hi Phil. Mine did the same thing but it was the exhause rubbers that was worn thus the exhause made that loud knock/thud noise when i pulled of when it knock's against a small drop plate like pice of metal (I suppose it's there to protect the exhause from behind) and made the vibrating noise...

Hi All. Just an update. I think i'm just plain stupid... :o I checked the Drive shaft and CV's again on Friday and found that the inner CV on the passenger side is the one that's causing the "shakes". Only problem is from the main stealer it's almost R6000 for the whole driveshaft and they...

Hi I'm turning 22 this year and enjoy my 1999 Freelander 2.0 Diesel 5-dr, and so does my fianché, she loves driving it!;) She just hates it when it brakes down from time to time.... :o

Exactly my thinking aswell... :( I changed it the evening, drove to work the next morning everything okay, drove home, everything okay, drove to my fiancé and the sh*t started happening. :eek: I did jack it up but couldn't find anything lose, wil have another go at it. :o Thanks for the...

Took out the propshaft completely. (No difference) And climbed onto the "enjin bay" and shaked and pulled on the enjin but it didn't budge at all, so I'm thinking it couldn't be a enjin mounting? The shakeing/shudder is defenitly coming from the front of the car.:mad: I did replace the disks...

Can the drop links make the car shudder or shake when they are weared out? :confused: Coz my freelander got the shakes but not in a good way and i've checked driveshafts and wheelbearings but can't find the problem... :mad:
