Hi all, I currently drive a ‘04’ plate Freelander, that we have owned for the past two-years, and use it to pull our 1500kg caravan. I have to say that I am surprised by its reliability and pleasure in driving, though she struggles a bit with the van. That’s why my wife and I are looking at a...

Hi Chaser, I changed the turbo booster soleniod today following a lot of threads from on here and there is a marked improvemnt in the gear upshift change. But you are absolutely right thats was (hopefully) the problem. I took her for a test drive after the replacement and it seemed to make a...

Yes thanks. I have ordered the part from LR hopefully to arrive this Wednesday. Cheers

I’ve just returned from abroad (work) to continue the saga with the ‘04 plate’ TD4. Previously, I had the lack of power and the Management Light came on at only 3500 revs. Also, the P1260 fault code came on with diagnostic equipment attached to it and I've changed the fuel LP sensor, but that...

Hi Chaser, Many thanks for your recent help and advice. I'm back from aboard and still trying to tackle this, I think, fuel problem. Although changing the fuel pump and filter has sorted out the problem with the Mangement Light coming on and the problems with power I am not convinced the...

To Chaser & others who wrote with advice. Well, against my better judgement I changed the pump and the filter yesterday, amongst the snow. What a job. Looks and reads easy in the books but once you get into it, ‘Holy Moses’. Maybe it was just my motor but it wasn’t as straight forward as the...

Cheers Chromium & Chaser, As you say a bit late now with the pump. However, if it sorts the problem out for the time being then I shall be happy, I can always change it for the genuin article later when Christmas is a distant memory and I am a bit more flush. Not only that I should be a bit...

Cheers Chaser, I ordered one from ebay and hopefully should recieve it before Chrimbo. However, I'm disappointed in LR. I odered the part from this site on ebay and paid with Paypal. Yesterday I thought that I would just check with LR to see if the part I ordered was the same as part as...

Many thanks for the advice. I am a bit confused; on an 04 plate model how many pumps do I have? Some say two, one in the tank and the one you mentioned. I have also been told that I have just the one. The Haynes manual is about as much use as a 'pocket on a vest' any ideas?

Hi All, This is my first post and I would be most grateful for some advice before approaching the LR dealers. I have a TD4 MK 1 LR Freelander 04 plate; since the 'Cold Snap' began a few weeks ago I have been having problems with a lack of power. It first showed itself one morning when I was...
