Hi tigapiglet, can i ask how common is this head moving thing on td5's, is it something we are all going to get clobbered with or just the odd few, also were all td5 engines from start to finish fitted with plastic dowels to locate head on block? thanks.

Thanks tiga, will have a look for it, can you get a kit from l/r to plug into it, ( towing socket and wiring ). rgds.

Hi, my 04 td5 auto has vibration / noise at around 2250 rpm,and seems to happen in any gear, and is just before auto box changes up a cog, although I have held it in 1 2 and 3 and it happens always at this revs, most annoying when driving at about 60 ish in top, feels like a misfire but think...

Thanks for the reply Dor1s, 2 bikes are what i need to carry, so will have a look at paddy hopkirk one, with regard to towing socket, I was wondering if it was just a case of buying a kit and plugging it into a ready made connector in the car, like on frreelanders apparently, or do all the...

Hi, my kids want me to lug their bikes around on the back of my disco td5, does anyone know of a decent carrier type that would do the job (without damaging the vehicle), also may need info on where to obtain and connect loom for electrics if I have to have a lighting / no.plate board fitted...

Hi, yes, just wetting the bottom half of the the screen only caused water to seep in, so think its the seal to glass letting it in. main door seals don't seem to leak (at the moment). Rgds.

Hi, I have just tried using the low range box on an 04 td5 auto, (has no diff lock) and whilst turning to the right a bit I noticed a rumbling or vibration that seemed to come from the r/h front area. drove it in high range again and the vibration still seems to occur intermittently, is...

I am just not cut out for owning a landrover, just traded in an absolute dog of a freelander for a lovely Td5, a dream to drive, but after a downpour today, found water coming in at bottom of rear screen at lower areas between glass and seal and running down inner trim towards speakers. Also has...

Hi AndyW, yes you are probably right, mine has had this problem from when i got it with 10miles on it, to now 7000miles, i'm giving them a chance to put it right soon. L R know about this problem by now surely, one person on this site left their car with them at the factory for at least a...

Hi, I'm sure I read a post by tigapiglet, who I believe is a landy technician, and he reckoned the windscreen washer pipes leak at the plastic joints under the bonnet, leaving water all over the area you mention, and can cause injectors to seize in head, not a problem until you need to change...

Hi, fellow freelander sufferers, I'd be interested to know what your dealerships are doing about your power loss when pulling away problems, as mine haven't come up with a fix, except they suspect the egr valve is being signalled to open just as I want to pull away, not all the time, but always...

Hi, no that is not the maf sensor, if you look at the yellow oil filler cap and cast your eyes rearwards from this towards the back of the air filter casing you should see wiring and a plug attached to the maf sensor, on my 04 td4 you would most likely have to take the top of the air filter...

Hi, yes i'm sorry to hear you still have the problem at 90mph, I thought that the hesitation may be caused by the same problem as mine, although mine happens when pulling away after engine running for 20 mins or so. If the egr valve ever opens when it is not supposed to, your turbo boost...

Hi Willo, I'm interested to know what made you disable the egr valve in the first place, did your td4 have hesitation / driveability problems? I'd also be keen to know the outcome of your neighbours problem with an 05 model td4, mine is a late 04 model with similar problem but other than...

Hi, this may not be the answer but its something easy to try out, my td4 has hesitation when pulling away, causing stalling/ bad running at the slightest release of the clutch, try disconnecting the vacuum pipe to the egr valve at the valve and blank it off with a rivet or something, and take it...

Hi, Thanks David, yes the kit from halfords is suitable for loads of cars including the latest freelander headlamps,and they are half price at moment.Best Rgds.

Another week and something else doesn't work on my freelander td4, I know it's not the end of the world but now I can't zero the trip meter when I push the button. Does anyone know if rectifying this is gonna be grief, (hopefully under warranty) only done 4200miles. Best Rgds.

Thanks for your input all of you who are suffering the same problem as me, i was beginning to think Land rover were ignoring my pleas for help, and that i was the only one in the world with this godawful problem,lets hope they come up with a definite solution soon. I would urge anyone else who...

Hi, I have heard it mentioned that there are 1 or 2 other td4's out there with this problem, and hopefully l/r technical bods are possibly starting to take this seriously at last. If i run my car with the egr valve vaccuum pipe disconnected and blanked off (this has been documented to l/rover )...

I am thinking about taking my freelander on holiday to france, and was wondering if anyone knew if the headlamps (latest type) can be altered quickly and easily to give the correct beam direction, or if a kit is available to achieve this. Thanks.
