At the same time, I can confirm to you that all of my clutch pedal problems have been solved by renewing the clutch hydraulics. Now the pedal comes up when it should (no delay as before). And no matter how hot it is, the clutch pedal and gear shifting work fine.

First time I've been told this to be a problem with a FReelander, crank shaft float, does that mean that the crank shaft has horizontal or vertical freeplay? What is their opinion to fix that, new crankshaft thrust bearings? Can you hear the engine rattling? If it were bad, float would mean that...

Based on your current circumstances as described, my bets with the fuel pump filter which is within the pump. Tell the garage that it used to be a known issue, i'm trying to find the Land Rover bulletin but cannot locate. In short, the fuel pump filter o-ring had split and had created hindrance...

I know it's a long shot as you didn't remove the ignition barrel, but I also know someone once who changed the heater matrix and damaged the ignition barrel in an attempt to remove some components around the steering wheel that wouldn't budge.. can you rule out a faulty ignition ? Though I note...

Thanks Nodge, I'm convinced, I'll be fitting a catch can!

In any case, ask the garage to check the fuel supply, they can fit a fuel pressure gauge and see the pressure of the fuel coming through the line.

In that case it could be something else then. It's unlikey to be the catalytic converter as you don't hear and rattle. I still won't rule the fuel pump out as you mentioned the loss of power. The "kangarooing" may be that the fuel pump regulator is failing to deliver a regular flow of fuel as...

Hi Stebo, any news? I was just about to post about some experience somewhat similar on a Ford a few years back. Same issues to that. Silly me (never again!), was trying to tighten the alternator bracket mount without having d/c the negative terminal on the battery.. what happens? My arm slips...

Kris - I've never experienced any handling difficulty in 2wd mode, and I have both a 1.8 and a KV6, the KV6 have had for 2 years, the 1.8 for 4. Both are in 2WD mode, no handling difficulties here. I did order a new VCU and bearings for the 1.8 but along with the prop shaft, it's been sitting in...

It would be going to the solenoid. He did change it twice but i thought worth mentioning as he coincidentally went through that large puddle which splashed water on his winscreen, unless the underbelly cover is on, the starter and other components would have been saturated. Follow the wiring...

For the awkward gear change reverse, I would take a punt and say it's the clutch hydraulics based on my experiences, change the clutch hydraulics i would recommend a land rover genuine one based on experience. As for the judder, possibly the clutch release bearing, i have heard from others that...

All of those things are fixable by yourself if your handy with tools. Being an owner of both a 1.8 and KV6, the 1.8 is pretty simple to work on, having worked on the KV6 including having done the timing belts with the kit and removing the engine with auto box attached. For the water leak at...

Hi stebo, I know it might not be this, but just wanted to share my experiences of a starter motor issue, i have a KV6 and a 1.8 (2000 model 5 door like yours). A few weeks ago, my father drove the 1.8 through water (flooded underpass, poor storm water drainage, prolonged heavy rain), he reported...

Hi Cheezy, I have a 1.8 (2000) Freelander as well as a KV6, and the symptoms you describe I experienced on my 1.8 in 2013 when my fuel pump failed. It was very gradual but in the end, i was left with a completely no start condition and had to get a tow. It would lose power and run sluggish when...

Hi John, I would take it to a good panel beater and obtain their expert opinion as to any possible safety issue. They may be able to repair by fill in and/or weld, they have various ways. I had a hand brake mount crack on me for a previous vehicle (Hyundai not my KV6 or 1.8 Freelander) and the...

Hi Grafos and Adamskin, though I don't have a diesel, i have a KV6 and a 1.8 petrol, the symptoms you describe I had on my 1.8 petrol. I found out that the clutch hydraulic system was previously renewed but an aftermarket one was fitted, not Land Rover genuine. A few weeks ago, I fitted a Land...

Hi everyone, just for the benefit of everyone else, let me advise what the white smoke in my issue was... was either one of these 2, but i'm glad i removed the engine and renewed the liners and big end main bearings, etc, it was either coolant that had been escaping from the inlet manifold...

Hi everyone, sorry to revive an old thread, but just wanted to see if anyone here uses oil catch cans in their KV6's, and if so, is there are loss in power or any disadvantage? Thanks to this site and Hippo's upload of the Land Rover TSB A151 recall from March 2005, this morning before it got...

Thanks Nodge, my clip must have fallen off some time, have just put another one on, the weight of the other hose when clipped to the coolant hose keeps it routed away from the a/c compressor. Thanks again.

Hi Folks, On my KV6 FReelander I notice the front coolant hose, the one that runs between the engine oil cooler and the Jatco gearbox fluid cooler, is actually touching the air conditioning compressor at 1 point. Surely this cant be normal. I've installed the 3 usual clips to secure the...
