I've not been on here for a while as I got rid of my P38. I now have a 2010 freelander so no doubt I will be asking for help again and offering help where I can. Only had it 3 days and need help already!!! it's had new discs and pads all round and they seem to be working fine, however the...

Forgot to say, the car would not link up diagnostics, the radiator was cold, and water in header tank was brown. He tried to carry out a block test but it wouldn't presurise. I've used this garage before and trust them they are an independent land rover garage.

Picked up my 04 2.5 v6 sport on Friday and it's in the garage already. Looks like the head gasket has gone or the liners have slipped or the whole cooling system is up the shoot. All started with engine warning light and running ruff but not showing hot on the gauge. Think I might get rid as...

Hi all I'm new to freelanders. Just got rid of my P38 and brought a 2004 freelander 2.5 V6 sport Everything looks in place with no obvious signs of trouble. Is there anything i need to keep an eye on. It's done 81000 miles and drives really nice it's got LPG fitted and kicks in fine. After...

Sorted. Put a socket over the locking nut gave it a tap and it was on. Now have a socket with a wheel nut stuck in it but now have breaks all broken down and ready for change.

Cheers for the tips, I've gone down with man flu so as soon I can move I'll give all ideas ago and get back to you.

Ive tried the chisel option but it wont budge. Im going to try and get a socket over ot tomorrow and see what happens. I dont have the weld choice either as i dont have that sort of kit and i cant move it as ive got no rear breaks:confused:. I was tempted to use Kwik Fit to do the whole job but...

Its all gone wrong. Starter motor left me stuck on top deck of a ferry, then a grinding noise started from rear left wheel. Just taken the left hand rear caliper off and found the bottom slider stuck solid and the inside pad had broken up and was down the metal!!!! The slider would not come...

It started straight away, now to get it home and get a few things sorted on it. Might have to invest in a faultmate:eek:.blend motors need sorting, new amp needed and lpg needs a good looking at, that should keep me busy for a few weekends. Thanks for your help and advice yet again.

I have the same problem, Im thinking of keeping the spare wheel in the boot but making a false floor to sit on top of spare wheel covering the whole boot space.

My bad!!

EKA code. You might get engine disabled message on your dash when you get power back, it will then say enter EKA code. You should be able to get your EKA code from a main dealer for free and there is a sequence of key turns in the door to reactivate the engine had this on mine several times...

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed and my AA breakdown number handy. As soon as it starts it straight into a long drive from scotland to aylesbury.

I've been away from my p38 for nearly 10 weeks,before I left I disconnected the battery. I have the EKA code but was wondering because it's been left for so long is there anything else I need to do before jumping In and hopefully starting it.

Thanks a lot for coming back, it's always nice to hear the end of a story. So just to get this right, the brake light switch failed and this brought on the ABS light whenever you pressed the pedal? Thats correct it also came up with traction failure. Gave it a good run yesterday and have...
