    Trun key - click. Done all the obvious stuff.

    Hi Robin, Post 10 - And all the other electrics seem fine - wipers and lights operate normally. When I turn the key and get the clicking sound, the dash lights go out with each click. This shows that battery volts disappear when the starter is connected to the battery; Could be a) duff battery...

    Synergy2 settings on TD4 Auto

    Got our Synergy2 with the remote switch thingy. Can set to off, setting 1 and another (currently 2) Off - just leaves MAF comp on - better low down pulling than without. Setting 1 - Subtle power boost, initially left the missus hovvering just above the speed limits without noticing, getting used...

    rave cd

    Short answer - they ain't. Facelift models (post 2003) only covered by Haynes (patchy) and the subscription system LR introduced for dealers. Costs >£100 per year for basic info. scaled up to £400+ for increase in data access. Keep asking on the forum and some gems will appear - other than that...

    Extremely high Speedo / Mileometer Reading

    Road speed signal comes from the ABS system off one of the front wheel ABS sensors. Its all electronical pulses up to the circuit board behind the speedo and the circuit board drives the little needle round and counts the miles (like a little digital watch). Same signal is used by the radio to...

    central locking!!

    Have a search for Darmains central locking thread. He knows everything there is to know about the FL locking system - unfortunately! Sounds like he's had the same woes as you describe.

    new Freelander owner help!!

    Pardec - third one is lower down under the short right angle hose attached to the EGR - it feeds the output from the turbo into the intercooler. Mine looks different from the other two as it looks thicker and has a wrinkly outer - sort of like a flexible hose. Looks a bit tougher than the other...

    towing electrics

    Done mine by replacing the standard socket with an 8 way lucar conector - then made up the bar end to plug in. If you leave it as is - check out this link http://www.mm-4x4.com/towing-electrics-383-c.asp It's the sort of thing you'll need.

    whats this pipe for

    Small pipe with a clear plastic filter (looks like a petrol filter)? Pipe goes in one side and should have nothing attached to the other. As booboodag says - it should be open! If yours is blocked off then that is wrong. It is a vent pipe and it will affect the turbo operation. :eek: There are...

    Freelander 1 Stereo Upgrade

    Hi Keirnan, I got an '06 HSE with the becker unit and while I was sorting some of the wiring around the road speed signal area, I found this set of diagrams and pics for it (from various sites). Have attached them - maybe one or two may be of use? :)

    Door switch fault

    Hi, Don't disable the alarms or your insurers will call a foul. :( Had a look in Rave and the door switches all feed into the ECU behind the fuse panel to make the interior lights work. There's some clever alarming sequences controlled by the states of the door switches. Can't find any diagrams...

    Freelander 2004 HSE sat nav audio

    Not a fix but my mates got the same problem in his P38 radio. Tried all sorts of stuff to fix it and he's now looking for a replacement unit. Seems the digital tuning chip inside has decided that only odd numbers exist. Could try a specialist to investigate but sounds like a replacement if his...

    Very High Tick Over

    You've checked the common problems. Have you checked the simples? Is there some slack in the throttle linkage? (should be some) Should even start and tick over with linkage off - throttle against the stop. Does the butterfly close fully? (air intake pipe off look to check) Mark the shaft and...

    TD4 slow reving / lack of power

    Hi all, Had a look on Microcat (2007/8) for some info on that temp sensor? It's listed as a 'Hose Assembly' P/No. PNH500190 - looks like it all comes assembled in one part (two bits of hose - two clips - one plastic short pipe thingy and the sensor fitted) THAT DON'T LOOK CHEAP !!!! :mad: The...

    Td4 fuel economy and what mods to do.

    Hi Aaron, :welcome2: We have an '06 TD4 manual, it's had an EGR bypass (Ebay) for just under a year. The EGR valve cloggs up and reduces the airflow or worse sticks and messes up the whole engine response. The by-pass does not directly improve MPG but after fitting one the engine works better...
