As they say, 'There is always another car to look at' my advice would be to walk away, any slight issues you feel it has will only dwell on you, go look at another. If in doubt walk away. Zippy

I take it its a cigarette lighter type socket, if so £130 is a joke to fit, get a volt meter and find the desired wires yourself, if its a dealer kit have you checked that the wiring doesnt have a connector pre-fitted to allow you just to plug the unit straight into the loom. Zippy

You are correct in that speedo's are not that acurate, i use a GPS based Sat Nav that shows MPH and it shows a lower speed than the speedo by about 5MPH @ most speeds. All top speed stats by the manufacturer will be based on flat road top speed. Changing the sizes of your wheels will also...

As my 1st post states, the fuel pump would be my next choice after the filter.

Possible fuel delivery issue, has the fuel filter been changed recently ? I would change that first, as the problem with the 20 second delay sounds like either a blockage with the filter or a fuel pressure problem due to the high demand at speeds which could be fuel pump related. Zippy

Firstly welcome to Landyzone. With regard cosmetic upgrades try E-bay out search under Freelander and away you go, i bought some side steps for my wifes 5 door model from there for £135 delivered (Brand new) they are a doodle to fit. As for the gear lever vibrating, in my 02 TD4 it does move...

Did the car run ok when it did start and when it let the wife down did it die altogether or did it go into limp mode (Unable to rev it). Fuel filter or fuel pump would be my 1st port of call. Zippy

The oil must leave a stain behind on the exhaust, remember the oil may be blowing backwards whislt driving. My point is you will need to get underneath the car and have a look underneath. You have mentioned you can see no oil at all coming from the top of the engine and leaking down the head...

Master cylinder is being replaced in the morning by the dealer, happy days for the warranty. If you have this problem get it sorted ASAP as it only gets worse and will eventually fail completely. Zippy

If your just topping up the resevoir then tap water will be fine, there should be enough antifreeze in the system for you to just add water. Nearer the winter i would suggest adding some antifreeze or even go for a full service on the coolant system by replacing the old stuff with a 50/50...

Sounds like they wanted to take your pants down after giving you the download FREE. As with most things get a 2nd opinion from an independant garage, £800 seems very high to replace the manifold. Did they actually say what the problem is with the manifold, if its cracked can it be welded ...

2002 TD4: When i'm in traffic or say reversing and riding the clutch slightly or keeping it down whilst waiting, more and more often now the clutch pedal sticks down,not always all the way to the bottom sometimes in the middle. If i lift it with my foot it pops back up straight away and all...

The hill descent in my wifes 02 TD4 didnt light up on the dash and i removed the rubber gear lever boot and the Purple wire was snapped at the connection with the gear lever, a quick re-solder and it was all sorted. I would also look underneath your steering coloum for any loose connections or...

As Ming has already said, your problem seems identical to his, his fault only occured on a run and not in town. his was the fuel pump which proved to be faulty. Zippy

The MAF is the Mass Air Flow sensor, it detects the rate of air entering the induction and adjusts the fuelling to match, any problems with it can cause your car to run rich or lean. Me personally i wouldnt go for the 57i type cone filter as you really need them mounting in the inner wing away...

It will be the rear tracking, a wheel bearing failling on both sides isnt likely and you would also hear and possibly feel if they where faulty. The rear wheels can be adjusted and i would suggest you get a 4 wheel laser allignment done on a decent machine with somebody who knows what they are...

hi if you squeese the handle put your head near the badge you should hear 1 micro switch operating the window and a noise like well hard to explain but its a solenoid operating the rear latch after the window drops,you can get the inside panel off bit hard with door locked,at bottom of door...

Ming, i bought mine from dealer near where i live called Waxacar, they have a website and it helps that K+N are based in Warrington so delivery was within 24 hours. It cost £52 and is a doddle to fit the hard part is re-fitting the airbox cover which can be a pain. To cover the point about MAF...

Glad she is now back on song, it was always going to be a fuel delivery issue with your last fault :) I have just fitted a K+N performance air filter to my wife's TD4 and it does make a good improvement to the acceleration and mid range grunt:D I'm always a bit wary of a 'CHIP' upgrade for...

Looks very nice, i like the colour of the wheels with the red car. Zippy
