    Td5 Stopped and not starting

    Ok, so after consulting a fair few people, the general concensus is that the ECU is fried, as the stereo spiked and it was scrambled (do all mech's use eggs as descriptives?) Personally, I thought if you can reprogramme, there must be someone that can rebuild. However... eBay here I come for...

    Td5 Stopped and not starting

    Yeah a friend wrote all codes down and got them looked at by LR independent mech. He thinks this, not me! I don't have them, but can put them up on here if think would be useful. Stereo been out since it happened, as thought may have some relevance. There does appear to be some heat...

    Td5 Stopped and not starting

    Ok guys. Thanks for all the help, assistance and advice. Having borrowed 2 diagnostic systems, and neither would activate from feed, I retested the fuses and the interior light one had gone. Diagnostics plugged in, and vast amount of codes coming up. List goes back to my local LR...

    Leaking into cabin - very fast and lots

    Hello all So, after wracking everyone's brains on here, and reading through all the posts, I decided to tackle the leaking Disco. Have been lucky enough to garage it and park with a little thought to stop most downpours becoming internal car washes. Although had an electrical fault from it...

    Leaking, smelling, loss of power

    Hello all wise members of the LZ My '03 Freelander Td4 was not used for a while, as we have a little quad bike to nip about on when weather is good. My brother, who has recently come back to work for us, borrowed the Freelander two days in a row, and complained that it was underpowered and...

    Thanks for all the comments. I do love that feeling. I wasnt shocked,...... to much, but my Dad was! All the crawling and deducing made worthwhile. I love being able to get a look when she's up on the ramp. Worth the waiting. She is going in for a nice service as an early Christmas present.

    Cable snapped bonnet release

    Hello My Feeelander bonnet Cable has snapped near the catch and I had no prior warning! Does anybody know the best way to get it open? I fear I will have to take the bumper off as I cannot see any way to get to the catch without it being off. Suggestions please.

    What am I doing?

    Hey all. Not sure where to post, but I have a problem on each of my rovers, which I could use a little guidance on. Have been looking on Mantamad's guide to fix a leaky disco sunroof. Excellent work. Just looking to see if you can tell if it is the gutter/downpipe issue or a leaky sunroof...
