    VEHICLE ROAD 'TAX'/DUTY...PAYING OVER THE PHONE

    Thanks for the advice...I'm very much the same regards their online efficiency stuff....when I recount this to my 'foreign' friends they think I'm 'full of it' but the truth is, this is the first issue I have ever had. Don't think Identity theft is an issue unless, by some freak of nature I...

    VEHICLE ROAD 'TAX'/DUTY...PAYING OVER THE PHONE

    Hello Land Rover Freaks Okay, 'What have I done to my Land Rover Today' is another thread but I thought I would just check my vehicles tax status 'online' only to find that my Landy isn't taxed. Now, funnily enough, when I bought it I insured it and taxed it before leaving the 'vendors'...

    Dealership new key doesnt start

    To make sure your 'new' key works you need to ensure that the 'functioning' key is no where near the ignition barrel. Best left in the house, then try to start the car. Usually these 'chips' need to be close(from 1 cm to 15 cm) from the induction ring within the ignition barrel for them to work...

    Is there an EGR delete for FL2's? My ignorance is quite large. Think your EML may 'ignite' if you fit one but there may be a remap?/reprogramme available to switch that off? Let us know..

    Hello please help I have broken my friend's TD4 Freelander

    One other thing..... When you went to restart the car.....remember that the fuel system will need to completely 'repressurise'/charge or whatever you call it. When I removed the pump and changed the filter on my daughters TD4 it took the car quite some time to restart. It may have ran a bit...

    Hello please help I have broken my friend's TD4 Freelander

    Ty Modur, This to me something really basic........ Despite your assurances that you have reconnected everything ( I believe you have ) you need to get back under the hood etc and treble check everything methodically and systematically. When you removed the cam cover/airbox did you disconnect...

    TD4 sluggish

    ScottyDave, It looks like you are being dealt a hard lesson by these 'mechanics' and that is unfortunate. Just recap on what symptoms you are suffering from, please? As mentioned above, a simple test regards the MAF would be to unplug it(once the car has been started) and take it for a drive...

    Freelander 1 td4 Tailgate U/S

    It's an obvious ploy that, once you get the car running properly, you have to fix the windows that stop working, the sunroof that won't open but leaks when it rains and figure out how to open and fix the rear door......all designed to keep you off the street corners at night...GENIUS!!

    Front nudge bar, where do I get one?? Also recommend me some mods :)

    Hello Joshua, Welcome to the forum. Regards 'mods' I think that some of the members have a fair point when they mention things such as tyres etc before you start 'laying out' on the cosmetic stuff. FL 1's have some specific issues that, if not looked into could end up costing you a lot of...

    FFS Nodge, a little bit if sick just popped up there... Will have to convince my daughter that I will be spending more money on 'her' TD4... However I will refuse to fit a CB radio for the time being...not wanting all the farmers around where they live distracting her whilst she drives the...

    Wow, LR thought of 'some fings' when they went through the list of driver aids on the FL1... A cynic would automatically think that anything that 'works' without switching it on...(the rear wash wipe/when in reverse if wipers are on) that something 'is a miss' and start investigating. LR, the...
