    TD4 clutch slipping

    If its a manual box then it sounds like the clutch slipping it should be more noticeable in the higher gears ( 5, 4 ,3) The clutch change is a bit of a job - not complicated - just heavy work.............

    Disco 1 Vibrations, (Not good ones).

    certainly worth a try if the frequency matches......... could also be brakes if its wheel rotation frequency

    Don't buy Hankook tyres !!! Noisy as hell and lethal in the wet I just took mine off and replaced with General grabbers (I'm also on 15 inch rims) Feels much safer

    Freelander 1 6 Tyres Instead of 5?

    The OP brings up a good question - its fine for LR to recommend changing all 4 at the same time and of course having the same make on all 4 corners. I had a similar issue - ****ty Hankooks fitted when i bought the car. Fronts are pretty much worn but the rears are still good (no rotation) Now...

    Freelander 1 Td4, went a bit to deep!

    sounds grim ............... :) if water got in as far as the turbo then the chances are that it did the real damage inside the cylinders with some degree of hydrolock !!! Does it make strange noises now ? Does the engine turn over ok ??

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    did my shocks too - replaced all 4 last week - first time removed since the car was new in 2004 !!! what a job...............technically simple but rusted bolts and stuff and who designed the rear shocks so that you have to open the brake circuit to remove the shock - fecking idiots !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Engine Seizure

    does sound like the chain if the cam shafts aren't moving during cranking i had this with a 3 litre BMW diesel engine - i changed the engine for a second hand one - repair is probablly not an option - do a search on www.bimmerforums.co.uk

    Freelander 1 TD4 injector removal & replacement advice sought

    the engine needs to run to see the fuel correction data and it would be very unlikely that all 4 cylinders say zero ! this observation is based on using BMW DIS - on a bmw
