    I don't have the kits to do the job myself so sadly will have to get local guy to do the work. Might just get a new one fitted!!

    Freelander 1 Battery or Alternator?? TD4

    Cheers, would a spray with WD40 or an electrical connection spray help or is that pointless. I guess the next question is how the hell do you change the brushes?

    Freelander 1 Battery or Alternator?? TD4

    Hi All, thought I would finalise this thread. Eventually got the Turbo Boost Solenoid changed and it fixed the entire thing. So the after basically changing the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen and bowels the little devil runs. Just changed the crankcase breather to the BMW vortex and wow...

    Freelander 1 TD4 power loss and warning light

    Hi. Had the same issues on a 2006 TD4. Got all the filter, pumps, EGR, Breather,changed cleaned etc. None of it worked. The answer was to replace the Turbo Boost Solenoid Valve (STC4198). It controls the veins in the Turbo at certain speeds i.e. above 60 or under heavy load. Buy it on line for...

    Wierd Sticky Brakes

    I have no issues with my brakes (2006 td4) they stop me everywhere but..... If I have to break hard downhill so max load, they stick and rub, slowly easing back to normal. This has only happened twice. Normal driving or breaking at motorway speeds are fine. Who has had this and easily fixed it?

    ENGINE MALFUCTION LIGHT!! AHHHHHHHHHH

    Code only ever said overboost. Just a bit of advise from an weird experience. Check that when you get tyres fitted they are the correct size!! Had the 2 front changed. All seemed fine until I got to 30mph. It felt like the entire body was going to vibrate to a small wreck of metal. The Garage...

    FIXED!!!!! After all the other bits changed or fixed it would seem that if I changed the Turbo Boost Control Valve to start with (£35) it would have fixed it anyway. Hey at least the rest has been done (£547) and I can have worry free Freelander motoring from now on!! Watch this space.;)
