    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I’ll have a check, my experience with this chassis in mondeo guise points me towards a rear engine mount as the gear leaver rises slightly more than normal, nothing major if it is, I’d change flywheel Anaya being fuel mass Any idea on rough clutch cost these days at a garage? Thanks

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    hopefully, clutch didn't slip this morning but may have to look at rear engine mounts as feels like there's bit of play when taking up drive

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Could it be possible that the current Ecu is running outdated software for which there is a patch from dealers, with updates For unrelated issues To the cold missfire , may be worth checking as a reflash from JLR with updated software potentially could cure it without even trying to, be cheaper...

    Electrics never my strong suit but where does the fl2 take its engine temp reading from? Coolant or air temp? Iirc most cars if you unplug the temp sensor put the cooling fan on as a safety device worth trying to trick it to see how it runs when technically stone cold but computer sees a hot reading
