Thanks guys, sorry I was so long getting back but I had to fix and test it first. It was a simple split in the short hose going to the intercooler. A bit of a pig to fit the cheap replacement but a straightforward job. Total fix. Thanks.

Hi Guys, I have a 2.2l diesel FL2, (07) that has recently taken to running in a decidedly lumpy fashion around 2,000 RPM. Not all the time, sometimes it does but mostly not, (at the moment). I can accelerate through it or back off and it goes away and I think it only occurs when the engine is...

Hi, Just bought a 2007 Freelander 2, 85,000 miles. I find, (now that my ear has become accustomed to the sounds in the cabin), that there is a definite whine on the over-run or as I back off the throttle, that vanishes under load. It's a fairly low level sound, certainly doesn't sound like...

Thanks guys, will do this.

Hi everyone My 2003 Freelander 1 with a TD4 engine is producing some nasty smelling exhaust emissions, (not a typical diesel smell), misfires slightly when not under load, (30MPH on the flat) and occasionally plumes black smoke but stamping on the throttle a few times stops the smoke. I'm...

Well thanks everyone for their advice. I'll refit the VCU and forget it, hopefully. The video was interesting, mine would do that, but it would turn, slightly slower, with very little force, one finger in fact. Two hands on a 30cm lever, maybe 20 + kg, would turn it about that speed. So there...

Thanks Grumps, that's the rear subframe cracks I take it.

Thanks guys. Lenny1234; I agree entirely, (although I know jack). It would seem to be able to slip easily enough to stop a transmission lockup, but should transmit a respectable force to the rear diff. Anyway, you've helped a great deal in the decision; it's going back on. Now if I could only...

Sorry guys, I know this is done to death but.... The prop shaft bearings have gone on my '03 TD4. I've just taken ff the prop shaft and removed the old bearings so I now have the VCU on the bench. If I clamp one end in a vice I can turn the other end with a 30 cm lever with one finger -...

Cheers Mike, The hoses are certainly worn where they have been touching things but don't appear to be actually perforated. No hissing sound either and the turbo must be functioning to provide the power it has, no? If it's an injector problem, would that be reduced by disconnecting the MAS? With...

Hi everyone, bought a 2003 'Kalahari' a few months ago. I used to own an old Disc and that was a good car but the Hippo is turning into a right ****. The dealer fitted a new clutch and DMF on purchase. A few weeks later the smell of diesel lead me to have a new HP fuel pump fitted, (£600) but...
