2001 TD4 Freelander. I possibly have a loose or dirty contact on the 12v supply into the Starter (sometimes the car starts, other times not even a click). I have followed the Haynes manual as far as removing the main plastic engine cover, then removal of the battery and battery tray. But then...

Thanks. Do you know where the sensor is that tells the car it is in 'P' ( automatic Parked) as I know it won't start unless it knows its in P but I' stumped whete to find it

At MOT, it was suggested the corroding break pipes will fail next MOT. Anyone suggest fair price for replacement? I am in Oldham/Rochdale area and would appreciate knowing any competent fair traders - Kwik-Fit seem out to rob me blind

I voted blue. Costing me a bit now, but nothing goes like it on the snow, and it's awesome on mud fields too. With a disabled passenger, it serves us very well. Great car. My first auto-box too, very smooth :-)

My rear drums are binding, a hellish metallic rubbing noise varies with the speed of travel. Then the noise may go away or days...then it comes back... My local Kwik-Fit, I was in for a cheap MOT, I asked them to look at rear brakes, but they could not get either drum off. They said they...

Lately, warm or cold when I try start my automatic 2001 TD4, I turn the key, the ignition and all the other expected dash lights come on, but no click or life from the starter. If I try again a while later, often as not it starts fine. Can more experienced Landyzoners suggest the most...

A more permanent solution worked for me, from Wipex. I used this part, with a tiny drop of lithium grease on the balls (inevitably a bit worn on aging Freenader 1's), works well, very quiet indeed. FREELANDER 1 WIPER MOTOR LINKAGE PUSH RODS.1997-2006 NEW | eBay

Thanks to the OP - this was my problem and his diagnostic method (unplug pipe 1) worked like a charm. One thing I haven't seen discussed anywhere, can the valve assembly be fixed, reconditioned or something like that? New ones are getting expensive now, like everything, I bet like many of...

I should have looked at this per-existing sticky thread first: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/td4-lack-power-70mph-fixed-77147.html As suggested in the OP's post, I unplugged the pipe number 1 in the image, and full power was restored above 70mph. In fact it felt beter than ever. I shall...

I think I got away with that one (coolant level), they always come in 3's don't they? I tried a first run to heat the coolant. The car did run normally for one run, reaching 95 before I was happy it felt back to normal. Turned around to come home, then the problem returned (strangely...

Aw crap... just had the bonnet open. The coolant bottle is bone dry, empty. Damn, might have done some damage just drivin home. Will refill with coolant mix and take it from there.

Thanks. I forgot to mention, I fitted a bypass EGR. If I disconnect the MAF to test, what should I look for as confirmation? When you say disconnect, do I unplug power or a pipe or something? With the MAF disconnected, am I looking for worse symptoms, or less? [edit] Oh, one other thing I...

My Freelander 1 TD4 has just gone past 92,000 miles. She is fully up-to-date with servicing and a new auto gearbox around 80,000 miles. The car is stock apart from a Synergy box. Premium Shell diesel always. I have found the car to be powerful and reliable, a joy to own. I started the...

My 2001 Freelander TD4, this morning, neither of my remotes would unlock the car. All door locks and the tailgate made no noises at, plus no flashing lights from the indicators. The remote batteries are fine. I got in the car by driver-door key and it started just fine. Anyone suggest...

Well, I had my 2001 TD4 in the snow for the first time. In fact, first time I ever been in a 4x4 in the snow. Simply unbelievable, I could not stop grinning. In the town's steep hills, the 2WD's were flappin around and turning sideways and backwards, wheels screeching away, sort of like...

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I found the judder cause. It creeped back, and did my head in. Then I hit on a possible other cause. I had been adding 2-stroke to my fuel mix to help with fuel-lubrication. For some bizarre reason, I had been adding 200ml per tank for quite a while...

Update: I tried switching off the MAF connection on the Synergy2. Instantly cured, judder gone, smooth and back to normal, very much more responsive and quick to accelerate from standstill. Car feels physically 'lighter'. Does this mean I had a tired old MAF or was it just not suited to...

Can't check that until tomorrow, but the auto' box has only done 13k miles since new replacement before I bought the car. (rest of the car has done 89,000 miles total). I assume fluid was done when the new 'box was fitted.

My 2001 Auto-box Freelander TD4, has recently started intermittently 'juddering' when I pull away from rest. It seems more prevalent in the colder weather. It goes away after a few seconds, but I am worried something bigger is asking for attention before a bigger failure. It feels like a...

Great information guys, very much appreciated
