I kind of thought no clutch too, but the organiser did know I was in an automatic and he said stop accelerating you don't want to burn your clutch out, or words to that effect. I assumed the car has something that equates to a clutch and gears, but the car does the sorting for me?? I seriously...

Thanks Kizzeh, I will keep an eye on the coolant now....when I got 'stuck' I moved the car into mud ruts and manual mode, 1st gear (auto car) but it wouldn't shift...took 4 guys to push me out...that's when the low coolant sign flashed up....worried i could have done something to the clutch...

Thanks Guys. I'm not very hands on, but maybe I should be if I want to go off road!! I trusted the organisers when they said Freelander 2's are OK doing that route. Ah Well.....the coolant is now re-filled, will keep an eye on oil and such...havent noticed any wet patches after parking...

Hi Guys, Took the Landy (LR2 auto) off road up in Kielder on Saturday. Great day but car is making a few strange noises since. Definitely heard a few crunches and scrapes underneath, and at the very least scraped a few boulders hidden in scrub, also got stuck and needed a push going down...

I'm a sheila...why would I know what axle grease is!? I have an AA man for the axle grease and a husband for the hair gel!!:smokin:

wtf is hair gel?

Thought came to be the other day............could somebody on Landyzone have one of my old Landys ?? Just a random thought!

As well as Mumford and Sons and Lana Del Ray I also have Arctic Monkeys (new CD is great) Stereophonics The Killers

Yeah Freelance, I am considering, if I can try and get my £57 back if i can prove the dealer is crank!! Is there anything I can do?? Hate rip off merchants!!

I'm hoping the problem is now resolved. Have had her in at main dealer and they said new steering rack, reservoir and system flush and then retest to ensure no further pump issues. They quoted £900 for rack..+ labor, + vat and possibly new pump + £400 Charged me £57 to tell me this...

In my experience, and a lot of research, the Auto Diesel TD4 have less problems. I have had a petrol manual 55 reg and a diesel auto TD4 06 reg and loved both.....but the TD4 has a better reputation and fewer problems. Now I love my Free Lander 2, again diesel automatic :) Still spending...

I have Mumford and Sons, and Lana Del Ray on disc XFM on the radio :)

Anyone know of a good garage in Manchester??

Hello I'm newby too :) LRgirl

Thanks Optimus Prime I have had a look at the links, thanks for posting :) I love my car though and refuse to accept she is a crock of ****!! :rolleyes:.....so will probably just have to bite the bullet as they say. Sometimes I wonder why I love LR so much, I have nothing but trouble...

Thanks for a lovely :welcome2: Cake?.....I leave the baking to my Husband :) Defender11069 ........why did I call her Delilah?...she's kind of heathery, lilacy colour.....AKA stornaway grey. How do I upload a piccy........How do I make a profile pic?

Hi :) I bought the car from a dealer in Feb, he'd had the car traded in......he mainly sells Porsche and Ferrari so LR aren't his thing. The car has a panoramic sunroof.....as we drove away from dealer we tried to open the roof......crunch, grind :eek: He promised to put it right, and 6...

LR garage are just not interested, when we mentioned known manufacturer's problem they brushed it off saying its 57 plate with over 100,000 miles on it... I've only had her since February so I have no idea about any work previously done to her. They want in excess of £900 to replace the...

Hello, I'm new here :) Have a LR2 TD4 Automatic........she's called Delilah :D Loving the site LRgirl

OK, so the car did go into LR, our main dealer this morning..so you think I should take this higher? Thanks
