I know there are a few threads on this and I think injectors could be the cause. I have tried some STP injector cleaner and no difference. Still unwilling to try my synergy 2 properly as when I do it smokes very very badly. So I have serviced the car. Air filter Oil and oil filter Fuel...

Well I have had it for 3 weeks. I'm surprised it's lasted this long before being detailed as it's what I do but I have just been so busy. In fact it's actually no where near the standard I'd like it to be but it was taking a long time and the sun was drying the polish very quickly... If only I...

Is this just power steering or something drive train orientated? Worrying noise.

Had to sort this about 4 times since I've owned it. The indicator bulb in the rear offside (drivers) keeps coming loose and stopping working. I have to take the light off and reseat the bulb. Any ideas? I'm going to try a new bulb at the weekend... The near side one is fine.

Just reporting on my findings after a couple of choice mods and a service on the 2001 TD4 auto. The other day I took the engine to bits to have a gander and see what was what. I knew it needed a service, it came with no service history but I wasn't sure how bad it actually was. I Changed...

Right I have a cruise control button which does light when pressed up on my center console. On my steeringwheel I seem to have a cut out where the controls should go. Any ideas whether or not I'll be able to just buy the steering wheel controls and it will work? I have a ES model 2001...

I bought an alpine head unit from halfrauds last week. Fitted that with no problem. I also told them I'd like to keep the steering wheel functions so they looked it up on their system and told me I'd need a harness for it but they would have to order it. So I ordered it. Came to fit it today...

Well most of you know I've had my freelander now for around 2 weeks. I spent a while on here researching things and finding out there was no way on earth I'd buy a petrol one. So opted for a TD4. Finding one was a bloody hard task as many were in a bit of a mess or not quite how they were...

I noticed a few people reccomending somebody in Doncaster but was wondering if there was any one closer to Rotherham or even Sheffield? I know a great garage but I'm wanting the parts of the drive train serviced and heard horror stories of normal mechanics messing them up. I know I want...

Well my dumb ass sister put her cup of lemonade on the rubberised mat after we'd been to costco. It was one of those mac donald type cups with a plastic lid almost a liter of lemondade flew over the dash, right around the speedo and basically dripped everywhere. Was ok when I stopped and...

I'm changing my freelanders water at the weekend as it has no service history. All the freelanders I've seen seem to have pink coolant in. However, I have a load of blue. Does it matter?

I know there are threads on this already but I have a problem. Tonight I thought I'd take my EGR valve off just to see what the state of the pipes were like. Not as bad as some pictures on here but there was an awful lot of oil in and around the intake pipes. Only a bit of thick cruddy oil...

Fitted mine tonight amoungst having a good play in the engine bay and getting absolutely everywhere covered in thick black oil... Now I think I have fitted it the right way. There was a bit near the MAF where it said to put a white dot. What will happen if I got this the wrong way. Now I...

Guys, I've taken a few screws out to try and get my new gear gator off but I'm stuck. So far I've Removed two from sides pointing outside of the car. Ive taken the heater knobs off and taken them two. Removed radio and taken two more out there. I have taken out 4 surround the heater...

Right then, I've been pestering you lot for for around a month now (I forget how long). Found the one I want about 3 weeks ago but I've had to wait for various reasons. Not good for me as I'm like a big kid when it comes to cars and things that move. I'm setting off to Manchester in a...

Any idea guys. Found plenty of threads about plate lights but not about size. Only cos I want to order the right size for my personal reg.

Hi guys, want to service my new TD4 when I get it. Well not excatly new its 2001 on an X plate with 119k on the clock. It has no service history. So a couple of you lot on here reccomend getting food parts so I have been looking at their premium kits, not the value kits. I noticed there...

I know car manufactures often compromise when it comes to putting parts in cars as they want economy, low emmisions, low cost and aim towards what the majority of people want such as low road noise etc. So why did they put an EGR valve/system in the TD4 if you lot are all taking them out? I...

Ok, bought a synergy 2a off here and was advertised as having a pierburg maf. Recieved today and opened the maf. It was in a pierburg box but had a green o ring round it and was labeled bosch on the unit itself. I have contacted the seller hoping he just put the wrong one in the box...

A local tuner has an ultrasonic flow bench thing to do injectors. When I bought some second hand higher flow injectors for my supercharge build on another car I had them cleaned and flow tested for about 45 quid. Which was worth it given they were second hand (although the before and afters did...
