    Update, on the way to Matt1295 who had very kindly offered to put it on his code reader, I stopped to pick my son up from school and it refused to start again. Green flag rolled up, said fuel pump after hitting it with a hammer and spraying canned fuel down the engine, and towed it away. The...

    Hey guys and Gals, new to the Hippos and need help please!

    After six years of ownership my best advice would be to turn the radio up! :)

    Hello

    I've also heard that when you get to their depot they try to knock you down over every stone chip too, so looks like she's staying for now. I've put her in a time out on the naughty section of the drive....

    Hello

    Lol, you are so naughty, don't tempt me! Webuyanycar.com offered me the princely sum of £2440! I think naughty as she is she must be worth a bit more than that. I've spent three grand on her already this year so you can see why she's fallen out of my heart!

    You guys are getting very technical, I have no clue what breathers or pressure switch looms are. :scratching_chin: It's behaving a bit better today according to hubby (who also knows nothing about cars). The ! light only flashed on a time or two whereas yesterday it was on permanently...

    Hello

    Gaylander, lol that's a good one,and much more polite than what I've been calling it today. I used to love her and speak kindly to her, until I discovered her taste in new parts put mine for shoes and handbags to shame! Hi Lisbeth, Fender guy and Steve, thanks for the welcome :)

    Looked up limp mode and that's what it's doing. Would an on-its-way-out fuel pump make it limp?

    Not ordered anything yet, been looking at prices, is OEM as good as landlover branded? It was 2008/9 when it last had a pump so 4/5 years ago, which makes sense as it's an 04 so maybe that's how long they last? What is limp mode, I'd better go do another search. Sorry for all the numpty...

    Thank you. I seem to remember it had a new fuel pump seven years ago, so maybe it's ready for a new one. Last time it just suddenly broke down, so maybe I should always take my mobile until I can sort a new one out! I thought it was an amigos issue, but this exclamation engine light never joined...

    Hi Matt, I did take it to the main dealer last time but they said it wouldn't talk to their computer, that was a big waste of a morning. Then the lights went off anyway, came back on a few weeks later and the local garage said abs wire and fixed it. Anything more than the slightest pressure...

    Hi everyone, my name is Lexi and I hate my freelander as it seems to live at the garage!

    I found the three amigos through searching, but not the power thing, sorry. I just want to know if I can carry on driving it another four days until it goes to the garage , or if it's going to give up the ghost and leave me stranded or blow up or if I'm causing lots of damage. I'm not at all...

    Can anyone she'd some light, I know little to zero about engines and the garage is shut. Anyhoo, a while back I had an interesting combination of intermittent three amigos, brake light, handbrake light and engine light. Garage said broken wire to abs sensor and fixed it. It's been...
