Not so good just a few weeks after fitting the new tie rod , the problem of knocking under load has returned. It sounds like a metal pipe or rod is banging against the underside.had it up on a lift, and cannot find anything loose. Also steering has a shake at the same time as the banging. Front...

Finally got the new tie rod from UK, very slow delivery waiting since 27th March. But good news it cured the problem Thanks for your replies

Its a shake side to side on uphill acceleration. I first thought drive shafts, but the idea that its the engine mount tie rod sounds more likely. I brought a MGZT cdti a few years ago, had similar issues at anything above 40 mph. The rear lower tie rod bushes were shot. A new one with poly...

thank you will be ordering one of these, and maybe a pair of drive shafts https://www.landypoint.fr/en/kkh102260r-lower-engine-mounting-tie-rod-assembly-1-8-petrol-2-0l-diesel-freelander.html

Do you mean the drop link at the front? or the front arm? sorry to ask. cheers david

My freelander td4 manual gearbox year 2002 with 150k miles. It has a problem which started today. When accelerating uphill at 30mph the steering wheel shakes about 1 inch . this stops when on the flat. I have put it on a two post lift, and all wheel bearings seem fine. There is slight play in...

the two I have here are exactly the same size, but who knows if the abs bit is the same?

Hello i have both a freelander and a freelander 2. the freelander 2 TD4 2007 has just had a new rear wheel bearing fitted. when doing so, I noticed the other side was not showing any play , but is slightly noisy. Now I have in stock a rear wheel bearing for a freelander 1, which according to the...

may be a red herring, but i also have a jag s type v6 td auto. had a very similar shake. i went to a land rover jag specialist in netley near southampton, looking to buy a gearbox mounting as i suspected that was the fault. But straight away they said gearbox. and sold me two botlles of additive...

I will get the car up on the ramp over the weekend and take off the undertray, to see where the leak is. One thing that I don't understand is why there is oil in the intercooler pipes? does this indicate a slight leak from the turbo? Plus I have read that there is an upgraded ford part from a...

I did think I had a glow plug problem as well, When it was -3 last month it took an age to start. Thanks I was thinking the oil out the back might be turbo. When you say right hand side , is that when stood in front of the bonnet looking towards the steering wheel? as mine is a RHD car and is...

I have just purchased a freelander 2 td4 to go alongside my FL1 TD4 which I love. The new to me FL2 has a few issues I am working through. The car has an oil leak from the front passenger side. I haven't removed the bumper yet but reading threads the seal on the pipes going to the intercooler...

My Ct center will pass it, but as you say night driving is a pain. and can buy a pair second hand for only 40 euros so a no brainer

cheers I thought they might be, will buy the cheap ones, and if I can will swop the white light over, if I don't like the orange ones!

Hi Can anyone tell me are the early headlights with orange indicators changable with the later white lens indicator headlights? I ask as I have white indicators on a rhd car in france, and want to fit the orange headlights which are available at a good price for a LHD car. Half price of the...
