    Td4 Clutch advice?

    I have a 2006 Freelander Td4 commercial with 150k. The car gets hard to change gear after it gets warm. There's no evidence of slipping however the biting point is low down. Is this a hydraulic problem or do I need a new clutch?

    Hesititation with Synergy 2

    Took car to a local injection specialist and they tested the injectors. Seems one was overfuelling badly and another underfuelling. Injectors being replaced today so hopefully this will sort out my smoke and idle problem.

    Should I sell my Freelander???

    I have a 2006 Freelander Td4 commercial with 150,000 miles on the clock. It has started to idle roughly which I think is injectors. Also when the car is warm it gets hard to change gears. Vcu is perfect as is the body. Im wondering should I be thinking about selling it on if it's going...

    Hesititation with Synergy 2

    Thanks for all the advice and help. I have now replaced or cleaned all filters, connections etc. The car is running without hesitation now but I'm still getting very shaky idle and loads of smoke on startup. When the engine warms up it all but disappears and I have no loss of power at all. Tried...

    Hesititation with Synergy 2

    Roughly how much for a pierberg Maf by the way? Is there any other thing I should be checking regarding the rough idle?

    Hesititation with Synergy 2

    Thanks for the reply. I changed the pcv and air filter but not sure where the solenoid vent filter is? It only smokes on startup and doesn't seem to smoke when warm. I didn't even know what the Synergy was about until I noticed it after I got the car home and did some research. The MAF switch...

    I have a Synergy 2 fitted to my td4. It was already in the car when I bought it. My problem is that the last couple of days when the MAF compensator switch is on I'm getting hesitation and flat spots under acceleration. Also the car idles very rough till warmed up with some smoke on start up...

    Hello, I live in West Cork in Ireland and recently bought a 2006 Freelander commercial Td4. The roads over here are pretty shocking so I find its the perfect balance between economy and off-road ability. Hoping to own a Defender 90 some day but getting married next year so will have to wait...

    Advice on Noise?

    Problem solved:D Took off the prop but noise still there. Started thinking about tyres again so switched front ones left to right and noise seemed reduced. Checked one of the tyres and had uneven wear on the outer edge. Swapped this for the spare and no noise. So it's a new pair for the rear...

    Advice on Noise?

    Doesn't seem to be any play but it's the only explanation for the hub heating up now. Had a similar problem with my previous car, a mini cooper s. No play in wheel but bearing was shot. Gonna have another look after work today anyway. Have to say I'm really enjoying the Freelander. I live in...

    Advice on Noise?

    Ok brakes are all checked and fine. Took for a long run and the noise is still there. Also the left drum is still heating up so thinking might be that bearing? Will take off prob and check again.

    Advice on Noise?

    Yep, know about matching the tyres and putting new ones on the rear axle. Have matching Hancook a/t tyres on the front and Michelin on the rear. The car has covered just over 140,000 miles now. One thing I did notice this morning is that the rear vcu support bearing seems to have a lot of play...
