This shook me up a bit - especially due to the costs i have incured so far with my freelander - but lookinig at teh site this is posted below - hope this is correct ! This article is inaccurate. I have just confirmed with the DVLA that the following is not true: "Please note: All cars...

should add normally about 44 litres of lpg gets me 240 miles but since this has started 240 miles was 52 litres of lpg that said I had changed pressures to 26psi (guy i bought it off had then at 38) between refills - and this was after a motorway run, when car was at 4000 revs most of...

Couldnt see a coolant leak on the freelander, but it was loosing it ! K-sealed and the issue has stopped - great :) drove it for a week no problems - now though it has started hunting at idle it runs on lpg, but also does the same on petrol it has been checked over for any air leaks -...

have just had a look at it, my knowledge is limited, but the top hose to the rad is piping, hot - but the bottom one is cold - which i belive suggests a blocked rad ??? probelm being this still doesnt explain where the coolant isgoing / leaking from - i cant visually see anything

thanks chromium - coolant seems to be fine in driving conditions (just done 15miles to work / 30minutes - engine warms up to half way fine, and sits there - no visible lose of coolant) That said I checked last night when I got home - all was fine - this morning when I checked it was close to...

UPDATE: Topped filler tank up to max line on thursday - and have not used it since Checked today and the coolant level has gone from max to just above the min mark Car is still running / starting fine - jjust done 10 miles with no major issues Any ideas ???

mechanics saying to run it for a week and keep an eye, now i have topped system up new mls head gasket was supposedly fitted ot teh engine 17,000 ago and its not putting out any white smoke, or having issues at idle / misfiring - so he thinks it may well be something else - especailly as the...

would there be any come back on the garage ??? the new (reconditioned engine) was fitted in October 2009 and has only had 17,000 miles put on it i know i was not the person that had it fitted, but I do have the receipt from them stating the work has been done

Own the car for 8 weeks, managed 500 miles in it, coolant was to max, but fan came on today when i got to work opened up the bonnet, and nowt in there - added 2 litres into the system to get it back to max checked oil and there is some whitish foam on it which i believe indicated...

its very odd, couldnt see anything in the tyre, but the noise has now gone from a clicking to more of a squeal (like a low brake indicator) but the pads are fine !

Finally go teh freelander back form the garage, 3 salvaged hubs and 2 new abs snesnors and the three amigos and majority of clunck have gone :) with the windows down I have now noticed a ticking noise though, not major (with windows up cant really hear it) but its constantly there when...

thanks of rth einput - my mechanic has replaced the rear diff mount now, whcih apparently has stopped the majority of the concerning noise ! he now thinks that all that is casuing an odd noise is the front drivers hub, so will be replacing that next week. as the VC has 110,000 on it, i will be...

Just wondering how many miles the average freelander rear diff would cover / if it is likly to need changing on mine. I have a 2001 Y reg, that has been nothing but a money pit since i got it. On the plus side it had a fully reconned engine with 17,000 on it when I picked it up, but the car...

thanks it was the front mount for the rear diff ! gpng to try and solder the two sensors together, dont have any other option as I doubt I will get it out of the hub assembly - unless I drill it out

i have a bit more info on the mount - having spoken to him he said i need the front diff mount (apparently it is warn as if you release the clutch to quickly it causes a clunk?) and it is the one nearest to teh prop shaft - can anyone shed any light as to what this might be ??? the guy doing...

Hi All, 6 weeks after making the mistake of buying a freelander I am still not driving the damn thing !!! I have the three amigos issue, which has been shown as faulty passenger sensor - i went to replace this, but the old sensor was seized in the hub and was not coming out. Due to teh fact...

Hi all, My increasingly troublesome freelander appears to have a dodgy MOT on it - handbrake needed replacing, took to my mechanic, and it turns out at some point someone has removed the entire backplate unit and just drilled a hole into the assembly and run the cable through it - suffice to...

thanks for the info - brian i am in worcestershire optimus - its a 2001 Y reg S wagon (hardtop)

Hi all, I am having a problem with my spare keyfob. The main one I use for teh car works fine / disables the imobiliser The 2nd / spare one however does not open the doors / or disable the imobiliser. I have tried replacing the battery, and re-syncing, but to no avail Does this mean I...
