    Haldex Pump best way to get it working

    That’s really interesting, so engaging sand sounds like it’ll do exactly what I’m after, I read somewhere else that engaging rock crawl does the same thing which got me excited only to realise it doesn’t have a rock crawl setting, in two and half years of ownership I don’t think I’ve ever even...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Prospective first time FL2 buyer needs guidance please

    I read this whole thread with interest, the other guys and gals on here know way more than me but I can say I bought my FL2 two and a half years ago and entered in to ownership with exactly the same questions as you, I have had to spend some money on it but I can honestly say I wouldn’t part...

    Haldex Pump best way to get it working

    Engage hill descent, that’s a very good idea, I’d never thought of that, it would make sense by doing that it would engage the rear diff and although I’m in Norfolk I do have a hill less than a mile from me called gas hill which is about a 12% gradient, I know that’s not mega steep but the hill...

    Haldex Pump best way to get it working

    Thanks everyone for all the interest, the garage did fit a new pump, they said the original Haldex unit in their opinion had never been serviced, (Late 2007 year model) it’s only because I’m so obsessed with servicing that I even got them to do it, I have considered doing an event, it’s good...

    Haldex Pump best way to get it working

    Well I might’ve wished it up because we are actually supposed to be in a holiday cottage right now in the highlands, but they’ve moved our slot to December, the cottage has a 2 mile drive which states only passable at certain times of year by 4 wheeled drive vehicle so I might get the chance to...

    Haldex Pump best way to get it working

    Thanks for replies, I have been told before to find a deep gravel car park and accelerate fast in circles and that will get it going, others have said just find your nearest off road site, pay the 20 quid and have fun but I’m just not equipped at the moment for that type of terrain, they did say...

    Haldex Pump best way to get it working

    Hi all, haven’t posted in a while, hope everyone is safe, this might end up being the stupidest question in the world but I recently had my Haldex pump serviced on my 2007 FL2 and they said the pump was seized and I needed a new one, ouch not cheap, they said if the pump isn’t getting used then...

    Freelander 2 leak

    Thanks for your reply and wow that’s something I’ve never heard of before, I did have a brain wave and decide to completely remove the tailgate light, I cleaned the area with panel wipe and then carefully stuck a strip of military grade gaffa tape over the cut out where the light was just to...

    Freelander 2 leak

    Help, I know this topic has been done before but I’m starting to feel like it’s beyond help, so I had the classic puddle in the boot which we know is the foam gasket around the tail gate stop light so I replaced the whole fitting with a genuine new part, it worked for a bit and then once again...

    Freelander 2 Oil Spec

    Thanks so much for this reply, loads of information there, I think essentially the Castrol Magnatec 5/30 A5 I’ve used probably won’t do any harm for the short amount of time it’s been in but I’ll change it for the exact Land Rover spec for my non DPF FL2 as soon as I get a chance...

    Freelander 2 Oil Spec

    Hi All, I’m new to the site and can’t believe I haven’t joined sooner, lots of interesting threads, I was wondering the difference between oil specifications, back in the summer I changed my engine oil and Halfords had a good deal on Castrol Magnatec 5/30 it said on the back it was suitable for...
