    freelander td4 55 plate will not rev over 2.5

    Same as my 55 plate TD4, change the fuel pump in the NS wheel arch. I took a chance on a flea bay item, loads cheaper than a stealer item, no problem so far !!

    Consodering a Freelander? advice please?

    Rooster, take no notice of the resident trolls, for people that are always slagging off the Freelander, they spend a lot of time on this particular section of the forum. I own a V plate 2.0TD and a 55 plate TD4. The TD we have had for 6 years and other than usual bits (brake, discs, pads and...

    please help me asap new to freelanders!!!!

    Now the prop is off try and spin the VCU mounting bearings, see if they are stiff, noisy or floppy. While you have it there check the prop UJs. I have had to change the bearings and a couple of UJs on my V plate TD and will have to check the bearings on my 55 plate TD4 as it is starting to drone...

    Acceleration lag

    This could be an indication of a fuel pump problem, may be worth taking to the stealers and get a computer check done. Any codes shown will give you a idea what is going on.

    Freelander 2 gear problem!

    If it were me, I would take it to your dealer asap, while it is still under warrenty, explain what the problem is so they can start an investigation. Once that the 'defect' is known about then the warrenty should last until it is fixed to your satisfaction. If you are given the run around then...

    freelander TD4 losing power

    Fuel pumps seem to be flavour of the month, similar symptoms on mine. A quick check on the dealers putah to make sure. Fleabay for pump and filter(while you are there), less than £100 for both.

    Could also be the relay in the engine bay fuse box.

    Looking for advice buying a freelander

    Do not buy a petrol, unless it has had the engine modded, buy from a dealer, and ensure you get or buy a warrenty as long as possible. I have had a v plate TD for 5 years and has the IRD,Viscous coupling and rear window mechanism replaced other than that, various lights on at times but they...

    Help Me Please

    There is an independant Land Rover guy on the Methwold road from Brandon, just before you reach Methwold village on the right opposite the veg factory, never used them but they have been there a number of years. Cannot remember what it is called.

    scarey freelander

    Only 2 things I can think off that could cause your problem, some thing floating around in the diff houseing, or some glitch in the brake control system, ABS or hill decent inputs locking the wheels momentarily.

    Hello All

    Hi All, new to here but not to Landrovers products. Previously owned and rebuilt a long wheel base, series 3 'Safari' 6 cylinder, great for days out with all the family and for pulling trees down, but not the most economical modes of transport. Next was a short wheelbase made from bits which I...

    Beeping Alarm

    A slight little problem with both my freelanders, one is a v plate DI, the other 55 TD4. The problem I have is when opening the drivers door after unlocking the alarm beeps for a while before stopping, it only does it after unlocking the door, not if it was left unlocked. I think I found...

They quoted £300 to supply and fit pump (@£200), fuel filter replacement while they were there. labour was only @£40 ...
