    second hand casing for back door

    Hi Optimus P thanks for tip and forgive my stupidity here but when you say glue the parts together do you mean glueing the plastic case case to the rubber seal and bodywork? I have taken the panel off and unpeeled top RH of internal cover and the nut/bolt that's causing the problem is on far...

    second hand casing for back door

    hi, wondering if anyone out there can advise. I've got a Freelander TD4 and the back plastic casing that covers the handle on the back door has come away. The problem appears to be the small plastic hole that one of the bolts is screwed into has broken. I need two things; How easy is it...

    Air in Clutch?

    hi Tedshred I'm assuming that the garage will be doing this but I just wanted to check with other freelander owners if this was a common problem after a new clutch has been fitted. I'm also concerend about the whole cylinder issue and how this seems to be a recurring nightmare for some owners...

    Air in Clutch?

    Hello everyone, I had a new clutch fitted on my 52 TD4 by a local garage (whose methods I'm now beginning to doubt) about 3 months ago (it was the recognised design fault clutch that Land Rover deny all knowledge of) and the symptoms appear to be returning. Not wanting to fork out several...

    Propshaft issue

    Hi All I'm sure this has been covered but just in case it hasn't; I put my freelander TD4 in for MOT today and on the advisory sheet was an item entitled 'Propshaft Component issue' and then the word 'dangerous' attached to it. Yet strangely enough this wasn't on the failure sheet! I asked...

    So have I been stitched?

    Hi All I recently had to have the fuel pump replaced on my Landy and the local garage took 2 weeks to fix the problem (acting fairly coy in the process). The cost was £274 and me not being particuarly mechanically minded I'd like to know if anyone thinks I've been stitiched on price or...

    Cam Belt Change

    Cheers Mondo and please excuse my ignorance (as you may have already gathered I know little about mechanics and what I do know is out of date), but does this mean there's nothing I need to do until of course I do happen to hear any rattling? I appreciate your only giving me advice not gospel...

    Cam Belt Change

    Hi Everyone My TD4 has clocked over 73k and it's about this time LR say that the cam belt should be changed. Has anyone had this done by a non LR garage recently? If yes can you let me know what the cost of this service was. I'm about to try a new local garage and I could do with a price...

    window regulator repair

    hi Jerry I've had a look and it's a worn cable that has snapped. Presumably there's a way of replacing the cable as opposed to spending silly money on a new regulator? first impression is that I can crimp the cable ends and see if that works, but if you've been there and done that and know the...
