Thanks Andy don't seem to ever have the time and I'm not very good with mechanics but I am sure it wouldn't take much to get it sorted. Will try to send some pictures, I have been told the engine needs injectors but the bodywork is not bad

I don't know how to reply let alone put pictures on here if only

Looking for someone to restore my Freelander it hasn't run for 3 years and has been in dry storage

I have a Freelander commercial2.0 litre and I am looking to get it restored I believe it is a L series engine I have owned the vehicle since 2004 it's year of registration was 2000 It has stood unused for 3 years Cheers

Hi everyone, ain't been on here for awhile, put my Freelander 1 commercial into retirement. and I intend to restore it one day.

Looked up the rover 600 which was made in the 90s and yes as well as the engine in my Freelander the L series 2.0 it also used 3 different Honda engines. But they were all petrol engines

EGR valve tested so must be the other thing, could it be a valve stuck as this fella tells me. Haven't got a lot of faith in him as he told me land rover used Honda engine's as well as BMW

Just had my black smoking Freelander looked at by a so called diesel specialist and he says its nothing to do with the injectors as he took each one out and tested them. He is saying it is a valve stuck that is causing the engine to splutter and pour out black smoke. Any ideas!!!!

Cheers col, was there a Serengeti model or are you pulling me pudding. My Freelander is a basic commercial model but it still has pop out sunroof panels. Also was the Kalahari Freelander painted in yellow ?

Hi can anyone tell me anything about kalahari freelanders thank you

Just remembered there was a Freelander Kalahari produced but can't find any information on them. Can anyone tell me the difference or what extras it had

Still ain't got my Freelander looked at, don't seem to be able to find the time. Poor old thing sitting on my drive, covered in dust ,tires going flat, battery going flat. But still interested in doing it up soon, maybe a winter project. Needs the engine sorted as I have said, back window...

Thanks for your help Dan , I will get in touch with them. Very frustrating keep asking mechanics but they don't seem interested. Its like I shouldn't be bothered with this old Freelander and just forget it. Gonna keep on trying and get it done. Determined now.

I live in rawreth Essex, between Rayleigh and Wickford. Would like to find someone nearby cos the Freelander is struggling to start as well as driving it anywhere. Would be a real problem. Could have it towed if it was closer to me.

Hi gel how's it going down there. Phoned a few mechanics this week about my misfiring, black smoking Freelander. Explained the problem I have and received a uninteresting reply from most of them, quite frustrating. No one in my area seems interested. I think they are more focused on modern...

I am impressed with your knowledge of the diesel engine. You make it sound very simple. Please excuse my ignorance but I would like to know if it is a specialist job or can I go to a local garage

Appreciate the help, im not mechanically minded ( better with a bit of wood ) but now I have some idea of what the problem is i can get it sorted. Many thanks i love my Freelander and it has been my work horse for years. Would anyone have any idea if it is a big job and the cost
