    Clunk from the rear.

    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...

    Freelander Security System

    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...

    Clutch Judder on New Freelander

    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...

    Radio

    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

    Idle Problems

    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...

    Have I done the wrong thing

    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...

    No drive,Hill Decent problem?

    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.

    uneven rear tyre wear

    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

    Bmw Engine Change - Omega To P38

    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.

    Turbo problem on my TD4?

    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...

    Suspect Oil Leak, Urgent Adice Needed Please!

    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...

    HDC problem

    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

    Freelander V6 VIS? Problems

    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
