    Diff went bang

    as GrumpyGel says had brakes hang on for a bit, apparently driving in the deep snow and then parking up with letting brakes dry off can give rise to water/melted snow (yes I know its water but....)freezing between pads and disks. lesson learned, let brakes dry off after playing in deep snow.

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Best diagnostic / code reader

    As Nodge says the Gap IIB BT is brilliant, and they are really helpful, needed to disconnect the power folding mirrors on my F2 couldnt figure it out and they walked me through it. Saved the price of it already as the nearest dealer to me is 800 kilometers away. Just done a service on the car...

    Freelander 1 Tyre / Drivetrain question... oh dear...

    not sure but think it is something to do with winding up prop shafts, difference between front and back tyres and then side to side is a winding up of differentials, ie if there to great a difference in rotation of opposite shafts they eventually either bust the shaft or wreck the diff. In...

    Freelander help

    i would check your rear tires, heard once that if the steering wheel wobbles it the front tires, if you feel it in yr seat its the rear tires. They are also sensitive to there being different tires on each corner plus the depth of tread being different. ie they have change just one tire after a...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Buying advice

    happy with mine, brought a couple of months ago, there is a mist of oil coming out of the front breather pipe, been told it just needs tightening up, which I have done. I'll look at it when the spring comes, -25 c is no temperature to be playing mechanic.. No noticeable faults and I've read...

    Cold start nightmare!?...

    have the same problem with mine but the problem arises when it is -10 and below which is a normal problem here in Sweden. There are engine warming kits that you can purchase, from calix or defa and they are either put straight into the motor block by removing a frost plug and inserting a cup...

    brakes freezing to discs,

    try to post this in common issues, but not grown up enough so not enough privileges, Had a couple of days of -25c temperature and had to take the Freelander into some deep snow to get some hay out of a barn, no problem with the brakes. Temperature rises to a barmy -5 to -9c ish went to drive...

    Freelander whine

    the differential can whine if worn, there is a thread that discusses this https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-2-rear-diff-problems.131003/ not read it all so no idea if it gives any answers that would be helpful
