so, now have a wobble free Freelander 1 td4 (new VCU) bit noisy but have bearings (FAG's) on order.
****ing about in the water and now massive power loss almost feels like turbo not engaging ?

when warms up get like a squealing noise then the power loss starts, feels like running an old diesel with no boost.... :(
any help or advice much appreciated :)

was thinking egr valve or the turbo control thing with the 3 vacuum pipes running to it but wondered if anybody else had similar issues ?

was fine until it got wet :(

all sorted and fixed !
just a quick post in case somebody might find it useful
located the problem to split vacuum hoses around the turbo actuator, can only assume they were sucking in water and the breather filter full of water and so air locked.

replaced hoses emptied out filter now running sweet again (famous last words)

Omg it’s a Freelander…..

So. New vcu bearings put on fresh from bell, whine has gone which is good but one of the bearing has an annoying squeak on full lock ffs….

also when had it in bits checked the IRD pinion bearings, pleased to report all good.

So better than before but the saga continues..

hi all, i have a 110 i have to charge my battery every nightie had a new alternator put on and it still isn't holding a charge, could the starter motor be draining it?

Could be battery drain or the battery itself is deaded and can’t hold the charge.
Ask for help in the forums there’s few ways to easily test.
A DVM would be ideal, if it’s a drain you could systematically pull a fuse every night when you park up til it doesn’t drain then you know which system is draining it

Hi,
I'm looking around. Need to find my way in communication (the language).
Do my best. Please give me a moment. My name is John. Hobby is travelling. For this I'm using the Landrover Discovery 2.

Reading up on my autobox issue mentioned - I have been getting a noticeably loud whine for several thousand miles - which I assumed was wheel bearing but garage could never find - at about 40-45 mph, below and above that speed it disappears and isn't always present - which I'm now wondering if it's related, torque converter maybe.

Hi Eddie, Great to hear from you and that you're improving. I'm still here, as is the Freelander... as is the as is the offer of a cuppa if you're back over this way at any time :) I was in Blighty for a couple of weeks in August, but it was just a visit to see my mum, didn't even take the time to snap up some cheap bits for the motor while I was over.

Hi guys
I have a discovery 2 that’s been kangarooing
Garaged has had it 6 weeks and can’t find problem
Today a friend plug it in to his scanner and we noticed it’s fluctuating from high and low constantly

Could this cause this running issue
