Any update? what was the problem?

My mates discovery spends more time in the garage than on the road. My Freelander has only been in once, think that could be saying something :p

Keep an eye on the fuids and oils over the next couple of days. I had performance problems for a day or two before i noticed goo in the engine and header tank, yours might take longer to take effect depending on how much water is getting in. You might have a hairline break in the gasket which...

Took the radio out today, the black/white and black/red (i think, need to look again for that one as was more concerned for the black/white wire) wires are the only ones that are not connected up via the iso connector, the black/white is the wire that connects to the radio controls on the...

Okie dokie, will give your idea posted earlier a go if i cannot find a way around it.

I think i will give this a try too. I thought initially it was the rotary coupler on my freelander that has failed (i posted a thread about it). But thinking about it it now would everything else fail within the rotary coupler like the SRS and anything else connected with it? It was only...

Is it possible to take a pic of the modification? just to get an idea how it looks when fitted. Thanks. Edit: Found out it may not be the rotary coupler but the wiring connection to the radio. There is a thread (should be on the first page at time of writing) about it.

i just posted a problem about my horn, fitted a new stereo a bit back and didn't use the horn since. I'd like to ask why too before i buy a rotary coupler. thanks

Hmm, i'm interested. PM me with more info, i could get the garage just to slap it on for me. Cheers.

Is that supposed to be a Freelander horn joke? ;)

Hey All, If anyone has had a rotary coupler replaced in the past can they let me know how much the repair job was please so i can let the wife know she is going shopping or not this month for her usual retail therapy :D. I need to book it in to a garage rather soon as it's MOT time next month...

Hope you get the problem sorted. This seems to happen all too often with these vehicles, and then palmed off to someone else to sort out (search around the net, plenty of threads in other forums with people in the same situation as you).

I haven't had my Freelander long but it's the worst i have had with regards to maintenance and repairs. Within the space of nearly six months it's had numerous problems including HGF, rotary coupler failing and the "three amigos" on a regular basis. It is a nice drive though compared to what...

:eek:

1.8 Serengeti 2002 at 37,000 (ish) miles. Obtained Sep '09 Had HGF in January this year and also the HDC light constantly on although i have checked everything in relation to the light and it's still on (might just need resetting at a garage). Also the rotary coupler needs replacing as i...

Autoenginuity got back rather quickly with an answer, basically it's only engine faults or as they they stated also in the mail "enhanced powertrain" so that's another one out the window. Looks like hawkeye will have to be the way to go here as nanocom is a bit more pricey for me (or so i...

Thanks TD john. ABS and the sort is what i'm after so i'll give what you mentioned a miss but thanks for letting me know that it doesn't pick up access to those areas. I'll fire an email to them and see what they say seeing as you picked up the "Actual sensor support is based on manufacturer...

Hi, i'm looking at getting a diagnostic tool for my Freelander and having been searching around the net for a bit i came across Autoenginuity. As the title asks.... has anyone here used it or currently using it and would they recommend it? It seems a lot cheaper than other diagnostics like...

Can't speak for the repair history of the vehicle although the service history is up to date so at least the previous owner bothered to keep it in trim in some way. It's in good nick too so can't complain about that either. Just bad luck it happened, if radweld or k-seal... unlucky :D. Never...

Freelance, this was done before i aquired the vehicle (the hole in the thermostat). As the mechanic mentioned it wasn't good to do, i wanted some feedback and has been helpful so far. By the way the mechanic has 30 years experience and has changed a gasket on a lot of k series in that time (i...
