Hi all, been a while since I had a moan about one of my Land Rovers... I only have the TD5 Discovery to get greasy under these days. 16 months ago I took my Freelander 2 to the local LR dealer here in the Auvergne as a local,garage had messed up a repair job. After a great deal of faffing...

Sorry, everything has gone except the brackets in the pic above.

The abs/special function is linked to an ecu under the bonnet and operated via electronic wizardry, wheel sensors and the Haldex drive transfer. Essentially it allows you to maintain abs and use the 4wd switch option for different driving conditions: snow, mud etc. If the under-bonnet unit has...

Yes, definitely take a pipe off and check there is pressure pumping. I had the same problem a while ago and it was my own stupidity for doing a 'botch' on a height sensor. I fitted new ride-height-sensors and all was well, but also bought a spare pump just in case. Already has replacement bags...

Yes, I did some searching on the web this afternoon, seems like the geometry still needs sorting. Very dissapointed the Garage suggested it was ready for pick-up as clearly ir wasn't safe to drive..

I've had two Freelander 1, two Tdi300s and currently have a D2 and a 2007 Manual Freelander 2. The Freelander 2 has been one of the best Land Rovers on the market with some excellent reviews, however... I bought my F2 last summer, checked it over, checked the history and gave it a comprehensive...

Hi all, just returned my 2007 manual to the garage after a test drive - too dangerous to take it away. I had it trailered there a couple of weeks ago as a bolt sheared off on the wishbone bringing it to a halt, and it damaged the drive shaft & wishbone winching up on the recivery truck so needed...

Anyone use one and are they any good? I'm looking to mount my winch on the rear tow bar to help with this years wood extraction. Only Need the winch for a week of work in the forest so a front bumper is not an option just now. Anyone fancy a week of chainsawing, winching, swearing and getting...

I've just sold 2 tdi 300s, now left with the Td5.... Nothing good to say about the persitant rust issues, these damn things where injected with rust on the production line!

Thanks, I did mine yesterday...Having a large barn and rafters to strap the weight of the door made it easy as a one-man job. It was a much simpler job than I anticipated, and yes, the two large 'rivets' were the only concern. I also used a grinder to get rid of the existing two. Fortunately I...

Hi all, anyone changed a bottom tailgate hinge?

http://essex4x4centre.co.uk/ Arranged a visit here as I couldn't find a reliable garage near where we live... Had my visit yesterday, excellent service. They are real Land Rover 'enthusiasts' and Fred is an ex-Land Rover main dealer mechanic so knows his stuff. Thoroughly recommend to anyone...

Sorted. Booked in for a 'proper' diagnostic at a Land Rover Independant. I'll post a review when its done...

Yep, I think that was my point...:);):D

Hi all, I'm trying to organize a visit to a good Independant Land Rover garage as I need my Freelander 2 electrical gremlin(s) sorted. Tried to identify it with my icarsoft but I keep getting mixed messages so I need a 'proper' diagnostic from a reputable garage. The Stealer over here is...

Probably a fiver to post from here. Are these what you are looking for?

Yep, I'm confused..

Yes, you are probably right re. Hawkeye or Lynx. I had thought about the Hawkeye before I purchased the icarsoft and obviously I wish I'd spent the extra....

As above, I have had 'low battery voltage' with the U3003 error, I'll get a pic when I can. The Frustrating thing is the trio of errors all come up on a manual abs diagnostic - nothing is consistant....and occasionally the car will drive as normal fora day. Completely stumped now so will have to...

Havng also had both, and living in the 'depths of the Auvergne’ at 1130m altitude where I get to use our vehicles in a practical context, I can write in complete confidence that Freelander is by far the better car in the snow. Adding to that, whilst it is very capable off-road vehicle,it comes...
