What do they say about those that have to boast ehh the ''SLOB'' something must be missing from your life....................like a Freelander or a larger p#nis maybe. Love hugs and kisses. The Zip

LOL @ Ming. Maybe me putting the rear wash wipe on a few times over Christmas has caused the clunking problem :p what with all that water all over it. Zippy

Thanks Willo and Ming, i will keep you posted as to what they find, i gave the car some beans today off the line to see if i could get it to happen and it was fine (in a straight line) but still there when turning and coming off the clutch in 2nd, in 3rd its fine so its got something to do with...

When i change down to 2nd gear to turn a corner in either direction, when i come off the clutch to re-engage drive i get a audible clunk from the rear, it sounds like a diff mount and it only does it when i have coasted to the turn and then come off the clutch. It doesnt do it in a straight...

Its a CAT 2 system, the biggest give away to this is the alarm has no additional power supply which will keep it going if the battery is disconnected. The vehicle sounds its horn as the alarm and not an additional siren as CAT 1 alarms do which are fiitted as standard to other vehicles. Tiga...

Subaru Impreza's are known to suffer clutch judder on pull off. The cure which lasts a couple of 1000 miles is to slip it at high speed, get the landy up to 70MPH and ride the clutch for a few seconds with your foot still on the gas pedal, this will clean up the contact areas and should provide...

Get yourself to Halfords and buy a convertor connection, one end will connect to the Land Rover loom and then the other end will fit your Sony head unit. They cost between £10-£15. Zippy

Check your induction hoses, the ones that run from your airbox to the carb. One may have a split in it somewhere, this increases the airflow into the engine which causes the ECU to add more fuel to the excessive air, hence your revs rise. Its a common problem with Fuel Injected cars when the...

Denniss you are correct in that the glow plug dash light doesnt light above 5 deg,on my wifes 02 TD4 it comes on for split second sometimes but not always even of a morning. I however have no starting problems, i did when i got the car think something wasnt right with the glowplug light as i had...

Remember nobody will post up how reliable and trouble free there car has been, they will only post the problems, as the Freelander outsells the majority of similair sized 4x4's x far, it is bound to show up some well known issues. I bought my wife an 02 TD4 GS 5 door, 6 months ago and she loves...

It sounds like a bad one, if the car lets you select the gears easily but doesnt stall or move when you come off the clutch you must have a gearbox failure of some sort. Get it to a specialist.

Get your rear shocks tested, i have seen uneven wear across the whole tyre but only when the rear shocks are dead and the wheel bounces and loses contact with the road, at all speeds causing the weird wear pattern. Zippy

The pick up pipe is almost certainly the problem as already suggested, if the sump was changed to the original item get him to replace the Omega's pipe with the one from your old engine.

The best stuff is by Mequiars, its the plastic restorer in a red spray bottle. Zippy

To back up the previous post, stay away from the dealers, you said the car was running like a dream before the smoke which wouldnt indicate injector failure. Get it to a specialist who will have a much better idea than a LR dealer, just a note, my local Subaru dealer only had 1 fully Subaru...

Have you removed the gear lever rubber boot and checked the 2 connections which run to the HDC switch, that would be my first point to check. Zippy

Some dealers can be a touch reckless when pouring the oil in and i agree it can sit for ages befoe it finds a way out. Did they clean the undertray before re-fitting it ? if not do it yourself just to be sure, try leaving it off for a day to put your mind at rest before your journey as it makes...

Remove the rubber gear lever boot and you will see 2 wires which go to the HDC control button, i bet the purple one has snapped off the connector, get a soldering iron out and away you go. Zippy

I have had similair problems on Ford cars and its the actual switch that you turn that is faulty, the connections wear due to using settings 1-2 most of the time. Zippy

Do a search, but i think its your inlet manifold needs changing and possibly a software upgrade to the ECU to cure the problem. The manifold from the V6 Rover 75 fits i believe and is much easier and cheaper to source. Zippy
