It was a new battery (I know, they should be full), but even with a battery booster/jumper attached it still just clicks.

I think it is...I mean, it was put back the way it came apart.

Hello everyone...after reading and trying out all the various remedies on what could fix it but still nothing, i recently changed the HP fuel pump, removing starter motor in the process, battery disconnected too (car started fine before this), I read about the starter motor rebuild kit, did that...

Right..think the problem may have been solved, took it to independent garage to look at, they diagnosed MAP sensor and noticed the inlet manifold was very heavy at the bottom end, so cleaned that too...didn’t work, same as before, went in for an MOT a month later, got chatting, they tempered the...

Thanks for the replies....the other day I noticed a different noise than usual, when pressing the accelerator from idle I could hear the turbo whistling, followed by a sort of gargling noise, lifted the bonnet and pressed the accelerator again and could see the intercooler hose flattening (left...

Thanks for the quick response, yeah, the MAF is a genuine unit (at least the packaging and the price of it says it is). I didn’t think they were great at any kind of performance but with his opinions it kind of fits...first start/run from cold is terrible, really slow, when warmed up it isn’t...

Hello, I’m reaching out to the good knowledgeable folk of landyzone for help/advice/wisdom....my 05 td4 auto is seriously lacking guts throughout the rev range, had it into a specialist recently who couldn’t diagnose anything or had any clue except fuel starvation somehow. The things I’ve...

Same conclusion on it being ‘fully threaded’, not ideal, the parts where contact is made should be a shouldered bolt, being in engineering myself thought this to be strange.

Cheers Andy...I thought that might be the case, wonder why the replacement bolt is fully threaded.

Hi guys (and gals), After some advice on the long bolt that goes through both rear links to hub, the replacement bolts from LRDirect are fully threaded, thinking they should be shouldered bolts or do they screw into the hub, on a 2005 FL1?

God I hope so...and not something ‘expensive’!

Right, here goes - 55 freelander td4 auto. Went on 600mile trip, running perfectly, stopped off at services, let engine idle for a minute then switched off, returned 15mins later, fired up and set off, everything fine, about 2mins into journey pulled up at traffic lights and heard a hissing...

Would also like to know more about this, changed mine for cd/Bluetooth unit, speakers working fine for 5mths but now the dvr’s speaker has stopped working...anyone now if there’s a set of speakers that fit...a simple old one out new one in as I’m naff at electrics?

SOLVED!! It was a ‘air feed direction pipe’(?) that comes from the main box near driver’s feet to up under the dash, adopted the veto’s hand/arm up a cow’s rear passage approach and found it had slipped, gave it a wiggle and a shove and its in, window de-misting both sides now, result, cheers...

Ahhh right, I guess freelanders have different systems....it’s a 05 td4, I’m thinking maybe it’s the vent flaps that open when dial is turned to windscreen that is broken?

Whilst the wind and rain lash down outside my windscreen started to mist up, put the fan to position 2, aircon on, only the passenger side was clearing, pulled over and had a feel near bottom of windscreen, yep, only blowing out of the passenger side, I take it the drivers side either has a...

Right....car has been on diagnostics, wouldn’t give me the fault codes but told me it was possibly the turbo actuator and will require smoke test. Bought the actuator, cleared the engine light and off I went, been driving much better, still gets a ‘water down a plug hole’ kind of noise when...

Might see if they can plug it in while at its MOT...keep you posted!!

Auto gearbox oil changed, replaced all 4 tyres 2wks ago, prop bearings are knackered, whine coming from front when driven...both parts are being replaced by Bell Engineering.

Thanks for replying, I fitted the crank breather upgrade few weeks back, everything cleaned while apart, scraped a fair bit of carbon out out of the inlet too, all pipes fit and healthy...
