When I changed my under the o/s/r wheel arch it was so badly corroded that it was only held in place by the fuel pipes. Mine was knackered after 7 years so heavens only knows how bad a 16 year old pump will be.

Friend of mine, ex First Driver supervisor, is the MD for Go Ahead in Plymouth reckons, as he would, that they are a far better run company than First was here in Cornwall. We always reckoned that First wanted rid of Cornwall but no one else wanted it as the revenue too low.

Has the Go Ahead purchase of Queens road affected you ?

Think I'd try the lp fuel pump if not already changed before delving too deep. Sounds like fuel starvation, seem to remember that you must use either genuine or OE, I used OE and had no problem. Changed mine because it was free floating due to corrosion thanks to the build up of crap under the...

So sorry for your great loss, sincere condolences.

It's for a five door but not sure if they're the same. Maybe someone on here will know but if not ask the local parts dept.

Yes that ok will be at home.

Ok let me know when you want to collect. If you pm me I'll give you my address.

Yes indeed free to a good home as helping to fill my garage. 1 x mich syncrone 17" tyre only ever been a new spare and always covered. 1 x modified rear door seal. New about 5 years ago but never fitted. Fits the whole of the rear door opening which should help to prevent the filling of the...

You could try blocking the vacuum pipe and the EGR bypass vacuum pipe tail and see if this cures the problem. This type of bypass wasn't available when I bought mine just the one with the vacuum pipe blank. Can't really see the benefit of leaving the vacuum pipe open except to avoid the well...

My EGR mod only had a blank where the flexi rubber type vacuum hose fitted, would have thought yours was the same. Can't help re the other warning light as i no longer have the Freelander.

I'd refit the original EGR valve ad see if this is causing the problem, can't se the other mods would cause the fault unless they've been fitted incorrectly however unlikely that seems.

Sorry my post was almost five years ago and the Freelander went a few years ago.

I found that both front brake back plates had come adrift due to corrosion but were still roughly in place, removing them stopped the noise from the front end.

Usually the support bearings either side of the VCU, front one usually goes due to ingress of dirt.

I changed from the Freelander auto to a RAV as my Wife wouldn't drive the Freelander. What I did find was how rubbish the petrol Rav's fuel consumption was compared to the TD4, 20 mpg compared to 35 mpg.

Sold my 2005 TD4 Freelander a year ago and got £3300 part ex. New VCU, tyres etc, dealers weren't interested so try private.

When I stripped my prop down the grease inside the front joint had turned to thickish oil, replaced with CV joint grease as previous post.

Give LRP Camborne a ring 01209 612799 he always appears to keep plenty of stock for older vehicles.

Out of interest where did you buy the VCU from, getting resistance when reversing is normal.
