Thanks for the replys everyone. I think part of it is crap aftermarket pumps, but it does seem excessive. Its in the garage now having a new LR pump (ouch) and filter fitted. Hopefully that will be the last I hear of it. At least this way the parts are guaranteed. M

There has actually been three different Garages work on the pumps! I did the last two myself as the front ones are pretty easy. I'll Make some calls and report back! M

I think it has had a diagnostic on it but not at a LR garage. Maybe nows the time? I take it to LR specialists who claim to have all the gear, would that be true? M

Hi, got a 2001 TD4. About 36 months ago the rear fuel pump failed, I got that replaced (new pump 1). About 18 months ago it started having intermittent failure problems. The garage replaced the front (under bonnet) fuel pump and it still occurred, so they put that one back and replaced the rear...

Thanks for the replys guys. I did put the spare on the front left and it didn't make any difference, but the noise did start no long after I had new discs and pads on the front so that's got me thinking that maybe its related to that and not a bearing at all. I might swap the tyres again and...

Thanks for the replies guys - I don't have the gear so reckon I'll have to go to a garage and throw some cash around so some half-wit can tell me my car is making a noise and I should replace all the tyres and the whole transmission (or something like that). Not that I don't believe garages...

Thats a good idea - but probably needs to be done in a garage on a rolling road? (other ways of doing it?)

Reminds me of their track VCU-IRD-FAILURE...

Got a freelander TD4 manual and I am getting a deep "du-du-du" rumbling noise from what feels like the front left wheel. The frequency of the noise is related to the speed of the car / speed of the wheels and not the speed of the engine or gearbox (so that eliminates a large portion of the...

Hey Neil, only just saw your message, did you get it sorted?

Hey mate, been a while since I was in there (and sorry I only just saw your message). Did you manage it? If not let me know as I have one of the actuators out of the door so I can advise from that. Let me know - [email protected] M

I tapped the relays and her presto, all works again...

Hi, wondered if anyone out there can give me a quick steer on this problem? Symptoms :- RH rear window not moving from either switch. LH rear window not moving from rear switch, but OK from front switch. Diagnosis/testing I swapped the RH regulator to the other side and found it works OK, so...

Probably will get a genuine replacement, still half price to ship one form the UK though.... M

Hi all, need a quick bit of advice on repairing a mangled window regulator. Please see attached photo. Note the blue sheath that has been pulled into the casing and mangled up. The wires are a mess but otherwise it seems ok. The kit I reference below doesn't seem to have the blue sheath in it so...
