    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2 diesel starting on 3 cylinders, now running properly, after cylinder head change.

    At the individual manifold branches, it is probably best before the whole manifold gets hot, but the cylinder which is not firing should be cooler.

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2 diesel starting on 3 cylinders, now running properly, after cylinder head change.

    I know the exhaust manifold is not easy to access, but if you could put a cheap infra red temperature sensor on each leg of the manifold just after starting one of them should be cooler than the others, and that should be the one...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Just how bad is my rear diff?

    The haldex - diff are in the same casting and the oil is prevented from .mixing by seals I am not sure but I suspect the little hole is kind of a tell tale which is into the space between the two alowing any leakage to go out rather than pass into the other side. I suspect you need to get it...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Just how bad is my rear diff?

    Check the diff oil is OK don’t want to damage it, pretty easy just get the car level and take out the plug, top it up until it just starts to dribble out of the filler. Filling the Haldex is more complex there is a procedure to follow involving filling it and then removing some of the oil, best...

    Brakes and bearings

    I had the peak charge errors some time ago, the fault was intermittent, tried changing the injector lead, and various other things, eventually I bought a second hand ECU and re programed it and it was OK. The original one I set to ECU repair and they could not find any problem, but offered to...

    Defender 90 alarm issue (still)!

    when it happened to me, I squirted some WD40 in the actual key slot and opperated the key several times, it the key is not in the right poosition when you remove it then it just springs back open. If its the bonnet switch or the door switch then ususaly the horn sounds when you try to lock it...

    Of course you need the brakes which make you happy, but I just replaced all 4 disks and pads with these : https://www.britpart.com/parts/repair-and-service-parts/braking/britpart-xs-brake-discs I was very impressed and I am sure they are by Delphy

    TD5 Rod Bearings

    Looks prety good to me. You can buy plastigauge which is a soft material you put it on the shaft then nip up the cap then remove it, according to how wide it spreads it indicates the clearance in the shell and you can work out how much wear is actualy there. Quite honestly the shells are not...

    At Last The Big TD5 job

    Take care I think they are fitted with locktite, I have read online that people have sheared them off and it's a pain to repair them, try to test them and see that they are not blocked, if so maybe leave them in, be sure the one which started to strip is ok dont want it to break off when the...

    At Last The Big TD5 job

    Didn't use any on my strip down, back them all off bit at a time then just lift the bearing caps, they are numbered so not easy to mix up, but be sure to put them back the right way. A digital camera is a big help on a job like this take loads of snaps, I did mine over a long period and it was...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2

    Friend of mine bought a Mercedes for which one of the keys was mislaid. Few weeks later he woke up and the car had disappeared off the driveway. Not saying that yours is a similar set up, but its something to think about.

    Dehumidifiers

    I have one of these in my conservatory and it seems to work a treat. Best if you can use the auto drain though tank is small. https://www.screwfix.com/p/blyss-wdh-316db-16ltr-dehumidifier/368gy

    TD5 injector rocker arm

    Hope I didnt confuse things, I was assuming you wanted to take one rocker arm off your exisiting shaft and slip a new rocker onto it, thats what I did some time ago as I had one damaged cam lobe which had scored the roller which rides on it.
