Hi just to put you all in picture ...... a few months ago I changed the IRD oil ...... the mag plug was like a little christmas tree!!! The noise a get is like a deep grumbling/grindy sound ..... which appears to come from directly under dirvers control pedals....the noise is getting worse ...

Hi all ......... replaced wheel bearings ... if anything noise worse, Hippo mine sounds kinda similar to your you tube clip ......... anyway things have moved on a bit ... which is forcing my hand ......... my clutch has started to slip on really steep gradients in high gears.......... So I'm...

Hi my Freelander is making grindy bearing noises at front.......if you brake it reduces drastically......I have had new pads and disks and new wheel bearings........still bad if not worse....... The noise varies with road speed and is apprant right up through to at lease 60mph..........dipping...

Hiya.......for gods sake have identical tyres front and rear otherwide you are in for big trouble........this happed to me.........i had vibrations...these all stopped when new set of identical tyres were fitted. Glad you have done this ......... next I suggest when you can afford it get a recon...

Hi my 2000 TD4 M47 model is very similar, got (had it from 105k) 112k.....pulls strong but is a bit noisey at idle ....... mine seemed to get much much worse after I started using millers fuel additive and millers oil......... I think it was a bit of a shock to a motor that had not been serviced...

Hi I read somewhere that these engines have pilot injection to smooth the diesel combustion and significatly reduce clatter..........apparantly the pilot function can fail and the engine just retains the std injecty squirt ...... which gives a nasty low speed clatter.......reminscent of real old...

Hi my TD4 has done 111k and is not as noisey as that however....it is not far off..... mine got allot noiser after putting in millers and changing oil twice with millers XFE....I think with mine I kinda decabonised it......it goes well. Whats performance like on yours......have you put fuel...

Hi Skynet got vcu from Freelanderspares.co.uk ..... a recon unit. Excelent service, unit made a huge difference and improved mpg by around 3mpg. Car was really binding hard before (110k) ...on turns......now it feels great...you can just sense a fractional amount of resistance on a sharp turn. I...

Hi, my 105k x reg TD4 was extremly tight.......on hard lock it was like you had handbrake on it would scrabble the rear wheel on anything but tarmac when doing a tight turn. Took prop off .... and it felt great no resistance. Fitted recon VCU ... and yes there is still resistance but it is much...

Just retested mine TD4 Xreg .... new VCU, EGR mod, fully services now getting 39mpg mixed on a run I'm expecting over 40........I am fairly light fotted. When i got car I got 30mpg ...... new airfilter and VCU made huge difference.

Hi I drove another newer freelander before buying my old 2000 TD4 ..... as I was concerned with the braking effect.....this 2005 model did the same....... on full lock particularly in reverse it is very tight. On changing the VCU this has deffinately changed and the car does have resistance but...

Hi they are ok ...... but watch fuel pumps......avoid the twin pumpers.....if it does not start from cold on the nail first crack walk away. Also bank on replacing VCU, engine breather and EGR blanking kit...........other than that like any other car.........

Hi use all terrain Kingpin remolds.... real chunky but are a bid noisey at 50-60mph.... other than that they are pretty good.

Hi would bet it is VCU change it quick......did mine and it made a fantastic difference.... you have all symtoms mine had!!!!
