Hi Find one with Cruise Control already fited. It’s safer and straightforward. Regards.

Hello, Manual ? Automatic ? EV ? When the fault happens, does the engine rev when you push the pedal ? Please go to the garage, ask them to read the fault codes. Regards

Hi, It's hard to figure out without a good picture of the problem. For any door lock issue, it should be fixed seriously, it's very hard to open a blocked door ! Regards

Did the crank sensor have been changed ? Crank sensor can start giving issue when the engine is hot, and since it’s needed to control the fuel timing …

Hi Does the engine always cut when hot, how does it restart after that ? Crank sensor can give issue when the engine is hot. For the engine temperature, you complain that the engine cut when hot, it has already one head gasket, an fan issue … Coolant is less efficient after many years (...

Hi, The engine should stay around 90°C. You're engine is overheating, and it should be fixed before an other blown head gasket. No coolant leak ? Can be a broken thermostat | a faulty water pump | a clogged radiator | air lock in the coolant system. The 1.8i was later improuved to fix...

Hi, Do you at least one working key ? Unfortunatly for the keys, your best option is the main stealer. Your second option is a car key specialist, which is cheaper. Good luck.

If they can't fix a 10 year old standard diesel car ... they are certainly specialist, but certainly not car specialists.

Hi Start stop engine ? No it's not a feature of the car, the car should start on the button. Change the battery if it has more than 4 or 5 years. No fault codes ? Does the engine start on the button when at tempeture ? Does the start stop is working ?

Hi If you suspect an unbalanced wheel, just put it to the rear to see if it change something. If wheel is here for long, it can’t go suddenly unbalanced. You should check front wishbones, the inner bushes are know to fail. Can cause a lot of vibrations when driving. For the rest, do the basic...

Hi O2 sensor ? somewhere in the exhaust system. Sometimes is unpluged or blanked to hide engine issues 🤣.

Use an obd2 reader, a simple one can read maf values, but maf can't cause the engine to get totaly wrong. Most cars can run with a maf sensor unpluged, but you will get a code, and you end consuming more fuel. For the fuel pump, something like icarsoft LR V1.0, or anything that specific...

Fuel pump, is know for having issue, can cause inconsistant fueling, can explain a lot of your problems. If you can read the live data from the fuel pump … it’s better to spot an issue. If it has already 20 years … The ECU is the last thing you want to replace … For the maf … read the live...

So you had replaced the spark plugs, the coils, with parts that are new comming in there boxes, not second hand one. And the engine is hard to start and you have petrol smell ? The engine should not smell petrol if the ignition is good … Check if the fuel pump is bad, It can give a lot issue …

So you have 4 ignition coil that are at the top of each spark plug. Have they been changed recently ?

Hi, If you smell pretrol when starting... Try to find the part NJD10010, is pluged to the spark plugs...

Hi, Freelander 1.8 ? Petrol engine ? The engine is know for overheating. The fuel pump is know for having issues. Does the cap distributor has been changed ? Can cause a lot of misfire. Does it start on the button ? When it finaly start do you have a stable idle ? For codes, erase then read...

Don’t know for how long it was like that, not more than one week. There is still a lot of grease inside, and the drive shaft doesn’t seem to have play. The car certainly want a lot of gifts for it 20 years. Give it a new gaiter, and pray it will stop asking ;)

Hi, Maybe a possible drive shaft removal for economical reason. The left rear driveshaft gaiter is no more, need to be changed. It’s not a genuine one. I was just looking under the car to see how bad it is, when I see a police car stopping next to me. The car stay parked, but it is safe to...

Hi Finally, according to the garage, the master have also a leak ( internal leak ). I asked to keep all the used parts, the Master can be pushed when disconnected ( which should be not normal ). The slave is more than dead. But the Clutch plate is almost good. I had to return back, the...
