Screw a self tapper in the hole in the centre, just enough to get a grip. Pull the fixing out with a pair of pliers on the screw. from Freelanderer

Hello, Carlube MTF94 on e-bay. £9.99 per litre. Have used it and is OK. Cheers, Freelanderer.

Nobody knows? Does anybody know if there is a gasket at this joint, can't see one on microcat. Cheers.

Hello All, '03 TD4 with, I think, a bit of blowing at the Front Pipe / Turbo joint. Difficult to see and get at. The only way that seems possible is through the nearside wheel arch for one nut and up and under for the other. Is there any better way? Does access or visibility improve by removing...

Hello All, 2003 Freelander ES Premium 2.0 TD4. I have a problem with the Aircon. I have smoke and noise coming from the compressor when it is on. When switched off there is no problem. It would appear that the compressor has seized and the smoke is coming from the pulley / clutch area and I...

Hi, Try changing the turbo vacuum operated solenoid. Sounds like it is stuck giving max boost which the engine does not like at high revs so the ecu starts to shut the fuel down. It is underneath the drivers foot roughly, can be changed without removing the under cover! Cured mine after a bit of...

OK. That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure I had not missed anything. Thanks.

Hello All, I have fitted a new regulator and cables complete and all is now ok. Just one question-does the glass sit in the bottom of the clamps or do you raise it slightly. It seems the glass comes down further than before when door opened. It tucks in under the trim ok when raised but by how...

Hello All, TD4 with Tailgate fault. I know there are many threads etc on this subject but none of them are helping me. Started with unable to open tailgate. Micro switch in handle clicks ok but nothing happens. Tried lowering and raising the tailgate window from the dashboard switch and I can...

Hi there, These are OK from "okzam-uk" .I bought one from ebay and although a bit of a fiddle, it worked OK. Regards.

Hi all, I have an 03 TD4 ES Premium in black. I think I have to change the turbo hoses as they seem a bit soft and are rather oily on the outside although there are no splits. Do these become porous and if so does it cause a problem apart from being rather messy? Car seems to run ok with no...

Hello All, I have had the same problems. The last time it happened was after giving someone a jump start. My battery is new and ok. It used to happen a lot if the doors were left open for a while or some other drain on the previous battery. I think that as this is all controlled by its own ECU...

Try vacuum solenoid which controls turbo boost rate. Easy cheap fix.

If you are using a boost pack then you know your battery is done for! Another problem with low battery is the radio searching each time you switch it on. No volts left for its memory, just like the trip meter.

Hi there, Your battery is on borrowed time. It is taking all that it has to start the car, nothing left for the bits that are left. Trip will Zero. Same probs over the last few months until the battery finally failed to turn the engine. New battery and all is OK.

Hi, Go and buy a new type Brake Light Switch along with the short wiring adaptor and fit. Troubles should be all gone.

Hi, Buy the 3 clips on e-bay. Repair the joint that has failed and re-inforce the other 2. Remove wiper arms, self tap screw in to hole in centre of plastic rivets and pull, remove plastic trim. All will be revealed.

Hello, I have a 2003 TD4 es Premium, very nice. When doing filter changes, I have never changed the 2 smaller "O" Rings on the spike of the cap. They have never come with a filter so am wondering where they can be obtained from. They are not shown as separate items in the Microcat Patrs List...

Hi The only fuel pump and the fuel filter is at the front end of the offside rear wheel arch. Turn ignition on and you should hear it wirring away for about 2 minutes. If not try giving it a thump!

Hi, the 17" makes for expensive tyres as you have found out. Try tyresavings.com order on line and fitted at halfords. Only pay when all done. Marshalls at about £90 a corner all done. Were very good at a recent muddy field event. Quieter than the old synchrones that they replaced.
