Yes! Presuming you have removed plastic top cover from engine and are now looking at the engine. Remove the air cleaner housing. Take off oil filler cap and unscrew 4 x nuts with hex key. Two are obvious, two are at rear of engine and a real sod - stick your hand round you can feel them...

did it have a new clutch when they swapped gbox? could be a release bearing going!

idea - your fuel rail / injectors may be full of air. if the engine died when the filter as blocked it will have used all the fuel up in the line you have not removed. you could (?) try removing the fuel bleed by line and cranking over / switching on ignition as this will force fuel through -...

Seems a bit tight to me that main stealers for LR are still flogging old type when they must know new one is available.... mind you maybe not knowing some dealers. Some struggle to understand plain english - no sorry sir you need a new engine because you have got a puncture mentality! right...

okies if you didn't see it there is a post further down i bunged on earlier today with some pics of bmw modified part for the crankcase breather for the td4. in case you really can't be arsed to scroll down and wear out yer mouse here ya go.... three pics - old filter assembly. new bmw...

ok as promised piccys! note this is a BMW part not landy - same engine same part number no more changing every year!!!! about £36 complete with all new rubber seals - and its a gen part. and....it works....i fitted it before posting this as didn't want a slagging off!!

Hi all. Don't know if you have heard or are aware that BMW have made a modification of the crankcase filter for the engines. The old filter had a mesh type cylinder in it which needed replacing to prevent the crankcase from pressurising up and blowing oil through the turbo and dipstick tube...

Glad it worked. If you still have some very fine marks you could try some detailling clay - its a fine cutting material and i've seen the results on a black saab - very impressive! think i may have cured the smell - i did a deep extraction with some pro odour killer. prob full of nasty...

I agree - I don't mind it getting filthy but every car i have had has always been kept clean - bit anal i know. paintwork is not so bad whats bugging me is trying to get 8 years worth of someone elses crud out of the carpets n seats and a strange wet dog sort of smell sometimes. Its been...

I would agree - use Autoglym resin polish the harder you rub the deeper it cuts but should give an excellent finish!

Cheers Blippie, It might not work but gotta be worth a go!

Cutting the exhaust on the FBH shouldn't cause problems but is the end of it now inside the wheel arch liner? you'll end up with steam and diesel fumes coming out through all the gaps where the wing is bolted on and maybe being sucked into the cabin through the heater motor - which would not...

ok guys fair's fair you might not like the freelander - each to their own i guess! however some of us want to help each other and don't appreciate the **** being taken. maybe we just wanted a freelander and not a 'proper' 4x 4 like wot u av at least we cn tolk in engphlish n all if you...

not much help that was it. srs is supplementary restraint system - light indicates a fault somewhere in the circuit. could be something stupid such as a wire undone under a seat.

Interestig thoughts. It amazes me that the 'tree huggers' always seem to manage to get to locations around the country to protest - on their push bikes i presume - after all they won't want to spend the tax mans hard earned hand outs will they?? Sorry if i sound bitter but any British govmt...

I've had this exact same issue with my 2000 TD4. Cold morning - you get in and click. nothing. Jump start is fine away you go. no problems once everything warmed up. Change the battery! Its not holding charge overnight when its cold. Also there is extra demand on a cold morning if you have a...

Guys! Had the same problem with my clock and decided to be brave tonight and pull the thing apart. I took it out the dash and split all the bits apart then using PCB cleaner from Maplin and a cotton bud carefully cleaned under the ribbon cable where it contacts the circuit board and display...

well the pump prices in hull don't reflect the fact the local company producing it gets a tax break on the veg oil part. supposed to be able to run engine on 50% veg oil 50% regular diesel dare you to try

i've been running my freelander td4 on bio thats from the pump locally - its not strictly bio - its a 95% 5% mix and it runs fine - not had the courage to go 100% bio though (for a start I can't be a*sed to make the stuff)

I really wouldn't know if you can 'just drop one in' As i am finding out nothing seems easy with a Freelander - even removing a screw needs special tool sfje19947473801-30948857389202-746 which is only available from the main stealers if you happen to live in outer mongolia and apply on a...
