Hi all, sorry to be a bother again. Had a bit of a disaster with the disco 2. Early td5 engine, auto box. Set off the other day and it was lacking power, had previously been driving spot on. A very loud whine presented above around 30mph. Sounds to be coming from drivers side front and gets...

I'm rebuilding the calipers on the 90 with ss pistons etc this coming week (parts ordered for that). I would also like to split all the calipers and replace the gallery seals while i'm at it, but can't find the appropriate parts to order bits in advance of starting the work. Does anyone know...

Hi I just bought a 'lower mileage' 1994 300tdi 90 (hard top, 3 seater) on a galv chassis. Tried getting some insurance quotes and it seems to be registered as a hard top van, and i'm getting redirected for van insurance. My last 300tdi 90, a pickup (1996) was private/light goods and insured on...

Hi, it would be great to get some info from 101 fans or owners :) Basically i have been looking to buy a good 'base vehicle' next year to use as a 4x4 tourer (UK use) and general titting around off road. Something with character and a bit of room for me and the dogs, which i can work on and...

Hi I have been having a look for lubricants that meet land rover specifications for the td4 freelander 1. Since the texaco oils are harder to come by and [mostly] lack product information i have been looking at castrol/fuchs products to see what the options are. What i have done is basically...

Hi. I bought a 2005 freelander td4 manual with 80k miles. Some of these problems i found before purchase and bartered a discount for, some only showed after a few extended drives. It's a long list, but it's an otherwise tidy car. It's been a while since i have worked on cars, or even owned...

I'm hoping to buy a freelander or other light SUV over the weekend. There are a few clear options and i am unsure which is best long term or spec wise. 4-5k - newer freelander 1 with 70-80k miles. Tons to pick from, HSE etc.. 5-6k - older freelander 2 S model with 100-120k miles. Good amount...

Hi. I am hoping you can help me decide on the right motor and help clear up some questions. I am a bit out of touch with 4x4's as of late. Budget: £4000-£6000 Vehicle will be a workhorse and daily commuter. Averaging between 65-90 miles a day. Mixed a-roads, country lanes and some woodland...
