    My td4 sport so far

    I toyed with painting my 18 inch alloys black, what colour is your car ?

    No power max speed 35mph!

    Mine? It only happened earlier this evening so I have not had a chance to look at it yet.

    No power max speed 35mph!

    Oden did you manage to resolve your problem? 4 pages and 10 minutes of my life I wont get back I'm none the wiser. I ask because mine did this tonight and I remembered seeing this thread, it had been very sluggish pulling away but had no issue with speed but all of a sudden it would not go any...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I went in search of the knocking noise coming from the passenger side today. I put the car on ramps and found the inner bush on the wishbone looks slightly misshaped and very slight cracked so its time to break out the poly bushes. Whilst I was under there I also found the lower engine mount is...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Its the cheap stuff off ebay. It is quite strong and pliable under heat but not the most adhesive. I found the best thing to do was wrap it right round and super glue on the rear. It stretches nicely but you do get left with a tiny crease when wrapping it on inner angles. All the coloured...

    TD4 sluggish from cold

    Cheers for the replies. if I go to it on say Saturday its sluggish at first, it turns over fine but can be a little spluttery/lumpy at first and does not like rev's, if I leave it for a minute or so this then clears and is just sluggish after I drive off. Come back to the car the next day and...

    TD4 sluggish from cold

    I only get to drive my freelander at the weekends and first trip out the car is always very sluggish. If I drive it the next day it is fine, does it have some sort of learning ECU ? Merry Christmas all.

    Sat nav upgrade

    Or you could do what I did. I bought a Tom Tom start 500. I then removed the clock and its surround and stuck the Tom Tom in the clock recess using a couple of bits of butyl tape, I fed the power lead back through the clock hole to the centre console to pick up power off the cigarette lighter...

    Rear Diff Mounting - gone again!

    I have fitted the front one. They are considerably stiffer than the originals and I thought fitting all three might put more load on the centre bearings. Done about three months now, so far so good.

    Freelander 1 Does it matter too much about specs??

    Can you add a heated screen?

    Freelander 1 Does it matter too much about specs??

    The sport does indeed have lower stiffer suspension and the handling is quite good really. When I was buying I was originally after a manual but after driving both I found the auto was a much more pleasant driving experience.

    Freelander 1 Automatics: as good in the snow and what to look out for

    I'm still relatively new to Freelander ownership, I drove both when purchasing and opted for the auto. Its only had one offroad experience so far and it performed very well.
