    Freelander 2 2.2d reduced power mode

    I would add that the engine now feels to give more power and is more responsive

    Freelander 2 2.2d reduced power mode

    For a while now I have had a problem where the car would drop into reduced power mode. When checking the fault codes it would show an overboost error. I got so that I had a Bluetooth ob2 reader and an app on my phone to clear the error while out. I carried out a clean service on the turbo vanes...

    Freelander 2 rear wiper

    So my rear wiper stopped working on my 07 freelander 2 a couple f weeks ago. Typically in heavy rain on a motorway. Once home it was extremely difficult tot move to park, and on taking the rear panel off, the motor was very hot. So for safety I pulled the fuse. Just fitted a replacement, and...

    Clutch issues on a freelander 1.8 2002 model

    Yes all clips were left in position. I fitted the slave cylinder end first then massed about fitting the pedal end. Only popped the clips out by pressing the pedal. As I stated at the start the issue only occurred after driving for 15 miles or so.

    Clutch issues on a freelander 1.8 2002 model

    Nope, left the flaps in place until the clutch was depressed. The issue didn't materialise until I had driven 15 miles. When it was first tried everything was fine. All I can conclude is that there was air in the system from manufacturing, and that initially it must have worked itself into the...

    Same thing happened to me, even when I fitted a new sealed system it had air in it. But it has now eventually sorted itself out.

    Clutch issues on a freelander 1.8 2002 model

    An update, finally managed to get time to go and work on the freelander. well its fixed itself. Clutch is working fine now. So yes it was air in the system following fitting the new master / slave cylinder. My guess is the air has made its way up the line whilst its been stood for a couple of weeks.

    Clutch issues on a freelander 1.8 2002 model

    This first I bought off Ebay and that didn't work at all, the second I bought from Craddocks. No I left the clips in place but disengaged the 2 wings on the slave when it was in place, if you do that too soon then the piston pops out and you will get air.

    Clutch issues on a freelander 1.8 2002 model

    Its a daft system, Ive also renewed the bracket as it was that, that caused the failure in the first place. I've bought 2 sets of master cylinders and slave cylinders, first one was as if no fluid in, but when I took it back off and opened it it was full. Then I found my car had a different part...

    Clutch issues on a freelander 1.8 2002 model

    The clutch release lever is free, its well greased, I can put a spanner on it and move it upto the spring tension of the clutch easy, then with more pressure continue until I feel the clutch release against the spring. I'm Sure the hydraulics have air in them, but the more I press and release...

    Clutch issues on a freelander 1.8 2002 model

She was towed to a garage where they claimed the clutch had gone, they quoted over £1000 to fix. We promptly towed the car away from them...
