    Freelander 1 td4 2ltr manual abs and bearing issue

    By the way, a defective abs sensor or magnet would not cause a wheel to lock up !!! Serious problem.to be sorted there.

    Freelander 1 td4 2ltr manual abs and bearing issue

    As above. What caused the damage to the first bearing fit? For example or impact in the wrong place will damage the bearing, abs magnets or both. 15 mins when the hub is off the car John !! :)

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Defo 23rd March 2006 onwards is £710 currently. Hopefully yours has got a wrong date somewhere !! https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables/rates-for-cars-registered-on-or-after-1-march-2001

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Sadly as it was registered after 23 March 2006 that means a tax disc of over £700 per year (further increase in 2025) and so reduces price greatly. I got £500 for a good 56 plate.

    Freelander 1 Fuel Burning Heater - still on with temperature normal SOLVED

    The Honda device arrived. Stat accessible by unscrewing the unit. Small hole already in stat. It fits, just, between the T pieces on an Auto. Works fine and gauge and FBH now happy and presumably will work when needed now. Only minor problem might be removing engine oil filter cap. It looks...

    Hi J. Was going to look at prop bearings next. VCU test was OK at last service in Spring. The thump is clearly a gear change but feels like it could be mid car for the noise. Thanks for the tip. Will drop prop off and see what happens. Also going to check out the engine mount at bottom of...

    Thanks. What gears were hard or was it all?? Have done 2 fluid changes with no change. It did have a cracked reverse piston which I replaced. Maybe burnt dust as it slipped for a while with the cracked piston.

    Auto specialist advice

    So after extensive trials to identify exactly when the 'hard change' occurred, I conclude the following: Only when changing up. Only on 2 to 3 or 3 to 4 gear changes. Worse when cold. Not always present, sort of about 1 in 10 changes. Worse when not under power - so level ground and little power...

    TD4 has a cast iron crank and they can fracture, particularly if an impact gun is used !! Or, in my case, you pull a trailer with 2 large ponies in !! Possibly :)

    This one is giving you the run around isn't it?!?! If it ran for a few seconds then we don't know if the pump will or won't cure the smoke issue. Is there any rail pressure when cranking?? You get these teasers once in a while. What I hate is when you solve it and only then, the answer is...
