Rob, I had the same problem last week with my DSE too. Easily solved by a new Thermostat Thermostat: £18.00 'O' Ring: £1.00 Once done, works a treat, spot on, needle straight up at the 'o'clock' position..... Didn't bother with the water temp test to see if it opens and closes, for less than...

Denzil, Although you don't say what year your rangie is, I can only assume it's a P38 by your profile photo. Anyway, if it is a P38 here goes: Firstly, snap, exactly the same problem with my P38 DSE last MOT with a failure due to rear brake pipes rusty. Now, here's your solution... When...

Couple of things for you: 1. Do you have the same problem from a warm/hot start - if no read on.. 2. Does you problem vanish after filling up your tank with fuel - if yes, carry on.. 3. Does the problem return after you've used 1/2 a tank or more....??? If you've got this far then you may...

Well said, Wills... Will you stop to rescue 'Mud Flap' or shall I...?? nah, sod it, let him wait, it'll be cold, wet and windy on the hard shoulder - much warmer inside our diesels....:p

Will, Read your question with interest. For God's sake, do not under any circumstances use KwikFit - wouldn't trust them to make a cup of tea..!!! I don't know where you live but I personally would Google 'merit tyres', no sod it, I'll give you the link: Tyres, Car Tyres I've used this company...

Canyon, Glad to read you got the valve. We didn't bother to mess around with the fuel filter and left it as is. I always use diesel from the main 'Four', don't trust the water in 'Tescoids' fuel, tends to bugger up an engine and water's a real pain in the arse to ignite. So going back to...

Nick, Had this on mine... Simply remedy - check your wheels are balanced correctly - you may have lost a weight or two... Had all 4 wheels balanced on mine and now runs like a dream... James.

Guys, Some photos of my one-way valve for you: 0 006 is the valve itself & 0 007 is the valve connected, forming the fuel line. On the right of the photo is the fuel filter outlet and far right is where its screwed into the engine block.. Hope this helps those who are interested.. Queries?? give...

Canyon, Suspect it is the fuel draining back into your tank... I would stick by my previous recommendation and go with the one-way valve, this should cure your problem. You've asked the question..'whats the part number for the non return valve from a bosch dealer? was it 6 or 8 mm? The answer...

Canyon, It probably depends where you live... My one-way valve was bought from a bosch specialist in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. My local independant L/R garage sourced some piping they had lying around in drawers and charged me nowt for the pipes and clips. However, I have been going to them...

Stratos, Couple of things for you: 1. Do you have the same problem from a warm/hot start - if no read on.. 2. Does you problem vanish after filling up your tank with fuel - if yes, carry on.. 3. Does the problem return after you've used 1/2 a tank or more....??? If you've got this far...

Folks, I have a 1998 2.5DSE with standard, factory fitted wheels. Please could anyone tell me the size of socket I will need to attach to my standard torque wrench, to undo my wheel nuts. I seem to recall it's either 17mm or 19mm...??? Thanks in advance. Jamie.

Oh deary me, it's a 2000model...!! Only one airbag should be the least of your worries.. I only hope you've got a large, fat, healthy wallet - sadly, me thinks you're going to need it. The going rate for your PETROL model Freelander in the UK is about £500, however most people can't give them...

Hardback, Nice slide show... I see you have a 'V' plated - that'll be a 1999 model year, yes?? - please, please, please tell me it's a DIESEL and not a petrol.... All I can say, if it's a PETROL I wish you the very best of luck and motoring...however, brief it turns out to be........ James.

Teegee, Speaking from experience I can only recommend the following: Firstly, speaking from experience you have made a wise choice with you magnecor leads. I used these on my petrol Freelander (don't go there...) and loved the reliability they gave. Secondly I changed my plugs to NGK's...
