    Rear Window Problem - Switch or Relay?

    Changed the dashboard switch and made no difference. The rear window doesn't drop any at all now when the rear door handle is pressed slightly to open the door. Hawkeye registers me pressing the rear window up and down switch, testing the live circuits. But window stays shut! Hawkeye is the...

    Rear Window Problem - Switch or Relay?

    The plot thickens! I stripped out the back door panel to check connections and wiring - all seem to be ok, no chaffing etc. With the ignition 'ON' the switch to operate the rear window does absolutely nothing - up / down. I connected the hawkeye and checked the circuitry for the rear window...

    Rear Window Problem - Switch or Relay?

    Is there anything else that could STOP the rear window from working via the dasboard switch? I recently put a brand new battery on the vehicle. The hard top has never been removed since i've owned it. Does the rear window need re programming? I tried turning the ignition fully...

    Rear Window Problem - Switch or Relay?

    Hello My vehicle is the freelander td4 3 door VAN ver 1 - 2002 For some reason the 'rear window' will NOT operate from the on dash 'up/down' switch, with the ignition on or off. If you open the tailgate, the rear window automatically drops as normal to clear the bodywork and when the tailgate...

    Hissing noise audible when TD4 engine is running - Any Ideas??

    I took mine back to the garage due to hiss noise audible after my clutch change- turned out to be one of the small diameter vacuum hoses at the rear of the engine on the right hand side not connected properly - very simple fix. Put your ear to the engine and you should be able to trace it...

    New Spare Ignition Key for 2001 TD4 Freelander Won't Work Any Ideas??

    Hello As only having one ignition key for my freelander td4 2001 plate I thought I'd buy a spare from 'cobblers' in Plymouth - (advised by 4x4 shop in Exeter) Cobblers and key cutting - Plymouth | Cobblers and Keys Ltd Heck of a lot cheaper than going straight to Land Rover. Pretty straight...

    Leaky TD4 fuel tank & plastic debris in the fuel tank & fuel content level

    On looking at the pump in general its a sealed body all the way round, so how fuel could be sprayed up, and through its sealed body I don't know?? Unless the round circular molding that the seal sits in, is cracked by or under the white tab? Its a mystery why there would be a fuel leak just...

    Leaky TD4 fuel tank & plastic debris in the fuel tank & fuel content level

    The last owner didn't really go into it, he just mentioned he'd replaced the pump and there is a receipt to back him. I presumed it was done properly! On discovering the pump the way it was, loose bobbing up and down, it would appear not. When I took it to the Land Ranger garage, they said...

    Leaky TD4 fuel tank & plastic debris in the fuel tank & fuel content level

    Had a bit of an issue with a leaky fuel tank on a TD4. Fuel would leak out of the top area of the fuel tank and make its way down & thus drip off the bottom of the fuel tank retaining bar onto the drive - on initial inspection the fuel pump & black ring had come completely loose! Refitted...

    Freelander sender unit/ fuel pump

    I, too have the same issue with my TD4 van. After the last few weeks of noticing fluid spots on the drive, at the rear of the vehicle when the TD4 was stood overnight. Checked today and 'fuel' was dripping from a pipe (probably had been doing for at least 3 weeks or so) that runs under/around...

    Hissing noise audible when TD4 engine is running - Any Ideas??

    Right so the EGR valve can be blanked off on the TD4? Will it cause any damage? I presume the EGR valve on any vehicle does the same job, just allows a percentage of the exhaust fumes to recirculate back into the inlet manifold isn't it? Which really, this method of allowing 'hot' exhaust to...

    Turns out it was the vacuum pipe that runs to the EGR valve, the end of the rubber pipe was not making a tight seal. Cut end off, and reconnected - hissing noise now gone. As for the gear change difficulty sometimes, I will live with it!

    Whats your clutch pedal like?

    TD4 probably going back to the garage who did the clutch. 1st and 2nd gears difficult to engage sometimes. Also a hissing noise was audible from the engine front lower side, when I got the vehicle home after the work was done. Sounds like air is leaking whilst the engine is running. I...

    Hissing noise audible when TD4 engine is running - Any Ideas??

    I had a complete clutch change one week ago on my TD4. Master, Slave and clutch plate etc. There was no hissing sound before I took the vehicle into the garage, that's how I noticed the noise after the work had been done. The night I brought back the vehicle after the work I noticed a...
