    Recoding Freelander1 Becker BE 4765 Traffic Pro Radio/Satnav - sorted

    All in title. My beloved hippo wouldn't get out of bed this morning, just had enough power to unlock drivers door. Showing about 8V on the battery terminals. Mate is fetching new battery from HalFrauds, will it be straight swap and back up? I hope nothing is 'causing' it.

    My hippo is quacking!

    Yep. As I go along my merry way I hear a soft quack quack quack...and if I speed up I hear quack-quack quack-quack... Approximately one (or two) quacks, per wheel rev maybe? Braking and turning do not affect it, so I suspect something in the transmission post gearbox(es). Its a facelift 1...

    Brakes - three strikes and they are out.

    Odd one here. I've never noticed it before, but in heavy M25 traffic on Friday, with lots of stop start, I noticed that after three brake applications in a short time I had no servo power at all. I also noticed that there seemed to be a lot of turbo lag. Over a second. (Freelander 1 TD4...

    Powerfold mirrors that don't. (HSE Freelander1)

    Researching this problem I came up with this CAUTION: If the power fold mirrors are operated consecutively more than three times, then they will cease to function for a period of one minute. This is to prevent damage to the power fold mirror motors. My mirrors wouldn't fold, but an hour...

    Thermostat mod TD4 auto (facelift)

    Has anyone one this mod to a facelift TD4 AUTO using the machined inline housing from specialist components? If so where did you put it, what diameter were the pipes and what stat temperature did you use? It looks like the top hose divides into several branches - not clear wherer if...

    Underbonnet rattle

    No, I dont want to know what it might be, because I am fairly sure I know what it is. My coolant header bottle is it seems quite correctly held on by one screw only, and it can rattle around on the mounting. First of all, is that correct (one screw only) and if so why is it rattling? does...

    should my fuel burning heater come on...

    ..every time I stop a fully warmed up car? I am wondering whether I have a stuck thermostat, because the temp gauge is always about 15 degrees below central except on heavy traffic, or on hot days, when it gets to near the exact middle. On cold trips (I did 70 miles last night for example) the...

    Two amigos brake lights don't work but I think switch OK?

    I am really confused here. OK TC and HD amigo lights on permanently, brake lights not coming on, so removed the BIG brake switch and tested it. Three terminals of which one doesn't seem to do anything, and the other two do something when you press the damned button. Fuse is OK because...

    Two distinct temperature readings?

    Not a fault so much as a puzzle. My TD4 warms up to about 35% on the gauge and then sits there..until it climbs to 50% and sits there!!. Never sits anywhere else! I assume the two points are thermostat opening and some electric fan cutting in, respectively. Just wanting people to say what...

    regular thumping rear transmission when cornering.

    Been trying to resolve various issues on a new pre-owned but not pre- loved Freelander TD4 auto. ~100k on the clock, 2004 vintage Sigh. Well it was cheap :rolleyes: Down to one bad, and one that can wait. The bad one, because I am not sure what it is, is a regular thumping that occurs when...
