Thank you all so much for your advice. My son replaced the filter first but no luck. He then replaced the rear fuel pump and I am pleased to say that the car is working again. The pump sounds a bit noisy but he thinks that there may be some air in the system which should settle down. I printed...

With reference to the question about the rail I feel really stupid but I've put the wrong year down for the car it's a 2002 model. I think the stress of the situation is getting to me!

Sorry to be a nuisance but can I ask if the fuel rail is easily located so that my son can check the plug. Thanks

Thank you so much for all your advice I'll get my son to do as you suggest when he comes over tonight. Thank you once again.

The car has done 60,000 miles. My son has offered to replace the fuel filter to see if this solves the problem do you think this is a good thing to do? The car is undrivable at the moment. As you gather I have no knowledge of mechanics and as a 60 year old woman I think it's too late to get...

Thanks for your reply. My son has put the new sliders and a new motor in the sunroof but is still unable to close the roof. The motor will not stop running when the opening and closing button is used. have you ever come across this problem? I would be grateful for any ideas. He wondered if...

Thank you very much for the photos I will pass them on to my son. When you reassemble the unit do the sliders sit at the front of the unit?

Hi there, first of all I want to say that I love my 2002 Freelander but this last week my stress levels have been sky high. The sunroof seized up in the open position. My son has taken it apart (he was an electrical auto engineer but never worked on a Freelander) and has fitted new sliders. He...
