many thanks for the reply. Is it rare to be the rack itself?

Hi Re my 53 plate Frelander TD4. I have a slight knock coming from under the front near side when going over bumps. Can be very slight bumps that cause it. It was at the garage yesterday on the ramps - the only thing they could find was a very slight play in the steering rack. Everything else...

Thanks Guys. It is not something I will do myself. Is there any possibility that by changing the oil you can disturb things inside and cause a problem that may not have happened (even if job done absolutely right)?

I would like some advice on the auto gearbox please. My car has done 75000 miles and is now 11 years old. It is serviced once a year by a general, non specialist garage. We have owned it since 2010. I believe the auto gearbox oil should have been changed at 60000 miles/5 years. Is that...

thanks - I think you are right and this is a thermostat problem. Will get this looked at and hopefully this will also improve fuel economy also. rob

many thanks for the reply. Not being very good mechanically, I will get some help with this. If it is a faulty sensor, do you think it will show up on a diagnostic test? cheers Rob

Many thanks for the suggestions - going to get the thermostat looked at first to see if this improves things as something is definately wrong there. I think this plus the weather is probably the main reasons.

Hi, My TD4 auto (2004) is returning about 18 mpg on town driving. I know it is extremely cold etc but the hand book quotes 25mpg. Is there something wrong? I may have a thermostat problem causing the engine to run at a lower temp than normal. Maybe this is effecting fuel? Any comments...

Hi, My 2003 Freelander TD4 sometimes seems to lack power. It seems to only happen when cold although not 100% sure about this. It is also only temporary and clears itself. I can still hear the turbo working when this occurs. It just feels quite unresponsive although if you really press the...

Hi, I have recently bought a 2003 Freelander TD4 2 litre diesel. I may have an issue with the engine temperature. According to the temp gauge, it is warming up from cold fairly quickly but only to about 3/4 of fully warm. I believe once at normal operating temp the gauge should sit in the...
