Sometimes we tend to think far deeper than is necessary. I knew nothing of an FBH and now feel a little stupid. Handbooks are there for a reason and we shouldn't wait until all else fails before reading them! Many thanks for the steer, The Mad Hat Man. Have a great Sunday!

Hi, could anybody offer some advice please? I have a facelift td4 (2005) This morning on startup and after about a minute or two blue smoke started pouring out from a front down pipe on the nearside. After turning off the ignition and removing the key it was like a motor was still running...

Yeah... your right. They have agreed to change it with the LR pump, send the buzzer back as faulty and refund my money less fitting. Result in some ways but still annoying

Hi, have spoken with the garage and they confirmed it was not LR or OEM. Made the decision to get an LR pump myself and have the one that's on at the moment changed. Picked up a LR pump for 141 + 5 for postage. I am happy with that. Thanks all for your comments and advice

Think I worded it wrong. It buzzes constantly from the time you turn the key to the time you turn it off. And, it was a pig to start coming home from work this evening. Any thoughts? Thanks Epicuser

Hey Guys - just to let you know that when tested, it pointed exactly where you said it would - the fuel pump! It has been changed at a cost of 165 fitted (I did not do it myself) and it has cured the sluggishness and no more nasty lights coming on! - Bravo and thank you I would like to add...

Thank you Guys... I will keep you posted as I cannot get on with it now until Thursday. I really appreciate your input. I have never been mechanic minded but am looking at this as a new hobby and very interested in doing as much as I can. Regards, Mike

Hi Epicuser and Nodge68 - thanks. The fuel filter was changed at the service about two weeks ago. Would you suggest I take the car for a diagnostic or, how do you go about checking for a faulty pump? By the way, it uses a lot of fuel?

Thank you Blue Beasty

oooooops! think this is in the wrong place - sorry! Mike

Hi, this is a first for me so hello to all.. I have a 2005 Freelander TD4. Can you tell if a caked up egr would cause power loss and the eml to come on? I have had the car 4 weeks now and it was well overdue a service (last one 91000 now covered 116000) so I have a friend of a friend and he...

Hi everybody, I am Mike, just bought my first Freelander Td4 (2005) Have a small caravan and we decided to try Land Rover to share the experience. Mechanics have never been my thing but I am keen to learn and the Land Rove Zone seems the ideal place. Got a few problems with the vehicle, have...
