I have a 2004 TD4 with 43,000 on the clock. recently I have noticed a knocking or thruming type noise when accelerating from low revs after I have started from cold. As the revs pick up the noise stops and once the engine is warm there is no noise at all even at low revs. Everything sounds...

When driving my TD4 for around 15 seconds I hear a humming noise coming from the rear of the car it only lasts about 5 seconds then stops. It sounds like it could be a pump or something. Has anyone got any idea what it could be ??

I have a 2004 Sport Hardback. There are a quite a few rattles coming from the hardtop. Is there anyway of tightening the top up or sound proofing to stop these rattles ?

I have a 2004 TD4 Hardback. There is an annoying rattle coming from somewhere in the back sounds like its inside the car. It could possibly be a loose catch is sounds like two pieces of mettle tapping together. Has anyone had this or have any idea what it could be as its driving me mad....:mad:

My TD4 seems slightly noisier when cold. It sounds like a very slight dielsel rattle and disappears once the engine warms up. Is this normal ? Car runs fine and there is no lack of power. Im not used to driving a diesel as ive only just got it so its probably just me...

Thanks for the reply. Ive just checked the boot and all seems dry except the storage compartment. There is eveidence of water on the lid so Looks like it could be condensation. Ive left it open for now to see if it dries out. If thats the problem I will drill some holes in the lid and see if...

Thanks Mad Hat Man... Still finding my way round and only just found the search option..I'll check it out later and see if its just the cubby, hopefully it is so i'll be drilling some holes !!:D. Any major reliability problems with the TD4 I should know about ?

Firstly I am new to the Freelander so Hi to all. I have just purchased a 2004 freelander td4 sport, all has been fine so far and I love the car. The only thing is I have noticed that the carpet in the boot storage box is wet. Does anyone know the cause of this and possible solution...
