Yeah I ended up fitting a refurbished steering rack and that sorted it. Wasn't too bad of a job to do in the end

Well I swapped the pump out again this evening (much quicker this time lol) No difference, what's odd is that upon axle stands the steering is lovely and smooth full lock to full lock, you get the pump whine when holding it on full lock but I'd say that's normal. When bleeding the fluid...

I've bought a 2nd hand pump from a 2011 with the same part number so will replace it with that and see what happens

Yes, basically had the car on axle stands wheels off, stripped the old pump out, primed the new pump. Once reassembled connected the new reservoir on and filled with fluid and the old reservoir on the return line, did full lock to lock several times (aux belt still off at the point) till the...

2007 freelander 2 manual 2.2 diesel

Just to add something else I've now noticed whilst waiting for my son in the car park. When stationary and the car is idling I can't even turn the steering to the right, turning tk the left is heavy but doable, however if I increase the revs the power steering seems to go back to normal and I...

Any advice would be welcomed at this point, basically I had the heavy power steering issue at low speed so I've replaced the pump, reservoir and flushed out the system and replaced with new fluid. Upon test drive of 5 mins it was still very heavy at low speed turning right it would go very...

Yeah I plan on giving it a good going over with waxoyl whilst everything is out, want this to be a one and done job 😂😂 Does anyone have a part number for the diff bushes where it bolts to the subframe that's one part I'm struggling to find, 2.2 diesel manual

Not been around for a while after selling the freelander 1, I must have forgot the pain of owning a landrover as I've bought a cheap freelander 2. The list of jobs is becoming quite extensive but who enjoys free time anyway lol. Faults so far, Power steering issue new pump, reservoir and...

So it appears my rear subframe is in a bad way and will need to be replaced, I've read as much as I can but there's a real lack of the usual guides and videos, is it really that difficult of a job? I can only find really crusty used ones or a new one so I think ill have to go new and replace...

I'll give it a go as soon as I can. Thanks for all the help everyone it's very much appreciated

I'll get it pulled out and tested. It's in the boot behind the drivers side panel yeah?

5 door so no roof switch on this one Relay would be a good about to check, any idea on type and can order one it's an inexpensive thing to change in the hope it resolves it What was the question lol? Sounds plausible the previous motor worked though (tested on a 12v battery) so don't think...

That I did not try, but will give that a go at the weekend and see what happens

The wiper does nothing at all and the fault appears as soon as you press either the wash button or wipe button. After a battery reset window goes down as expected, I can then operate the window perfectly up and down. It's only when you press wash or wipe nothing happens and now the window...
