Thanks

I Have a 2004 Freelander HSE that has about 103,000 on the clock thats just started cutting out. Over the last month I have changed all the filters with the exception of the fuel one. Recently It has been juddering slightly when it is first started, and if you rev the engine you get a little...

I have just taken out my fuel filter (which has been a much easier job than i Thought it would be, as none of the bolts had seized) however I seem to have a thin wire with a spade clip on the end just floating about afterwards, can someone tell me where this goes? Cheers, Warren.

Did a service today on the car, changed the crank case filter, air filter, oil filter an 6l of oil. I had the engine cover off, and still couldnt see the turbo vent filter, or any sign of it. Does anyone have a picture of the solenoid valve and where it cmes from so that I can check mine.

Hi Neil, I followed those up, there was a braided one that wasn't clipped, going into the rear of the engine, behind the oil filler cap, but I don't think it was that. I really don't know where it is. I may have to unbolt the rear engine plastic cowling to see if its underneath that.

Still Cant find it, and I had the wheel off today.

Going to have anther look at this tomorrow, and replace the fuel filter, anyone have any ideas were this filter could possibly be located and if it could have been replaced with something else?

So I can see the braided pipe in the pics, do you think the filter may be close by? Hidden right behind the engine?

I Did do, that's were the second set of pictures are from...

Heres some more pics, just taken in the dark. I did put the phone behind the engine (left side) but I still cant see the filter.. I have also taken one of the bay, and Im 99% sure that there has been no EGT mod.

Here is a picture of the front of the turbo, and a shot from behind the wheel arch. As I said I cannot see a turbo vent filter, and there is no erg mod either as far as I can tell.

I've taken some pictures today, I cant see any pipes behind the engine that have the filter on them, I've even looked through the wheel lining with a torch and can see nothing. The only weird thing that I could see was something that looked like a gator on the right hand side of the engine bay...

I've just bought a turbo vent filter and fuel filter to replace the old ones, but cant seem to find the turbo vent filter. The car is a 2004 facelift freelander. I did however notice some oil coming from one of the screw holes, the left hand side one in the front engine cover. Is this normal...

Yes fitting and the warranty. It was half the price of a local garage. Seemed really nice people as well, as the mechanic said they specialise in gearboxes and that's the bulk of their work. They had mine done in just over a day.

They could have done a recon unit for £900 if it had been the forward gears as well.

Yes, I used the garage that I spoke about earlier, and they were excellent, very reasonable on price, they charged £675 for replacing the reverse band, and replacing the transmission fluid. This was half the price that my local garage quoted, and it dam with a 6 month 10,000 mile warranty.

It has turned out to be the reverse band, part of it was broken, but there was a part catching, hence the reason that the car was reversing very slowly and juddering.

Has anyone ever heard of a company called all gears and engines, based in Stratford (london), Gearbox Specialist London - Repair, Rebuild & Reconditioning They seem to know their stuff about the Jatco gear boxes, and seem to be reasonable on price. Has anyone on the forum had any dealings...

Just seen your message today, So I will check your suggestions out tomorrow, when I get chance. Thanks for all your help.

I have just hooked up my OBDII unit, and it has come back with the following: 0705 Transmission Range Sensor A Circuit (PRNDL Input) Does anyone know whether this could just be a sensor causing the problem? Or has anyone else encountered this before?
