Hi All Well I think i managed to sort out all the problems with the Freelander, but to be honest I just lost heart with the car. Every noise made me and my wallet nervous and I needed to raise some cash, so I sold it. I'm not toally convinced there was anything really wrong with it and...

Hi All I notice a few threads on here about tyres lately. When I was looking for mine I found this place to be unbeatable? Might be worth a look if you're after new tyres? But dont forget that is mail order and you'll have to pay foir fittingat your local tyre place, unless you fit your own...

Anyone ever replaced the engine mount by the battery on a 2.0L Xedi? Looking at the haynes manual it says to remove the wheel, splash guard, battery, starter motor, clutch slave cylinder etc etc!:eek: Do you actually need to remove all that to get this mount out?

I'm thinking of getting one of these boxes as I have to collect a caravan from northern spain later on this year. I think the Freelander could you use some extra ponies to help tow the thing back across France. The one thing i dont like is it looks like youi have to splice into the loom to fit...

Hi All I seem to recall reading on here that if you want to bleed the brakes on a Freelander they have a slightly different procedure to most other cars? Is that right? Many thanks

I went to take my MAF sensor out today but the torx bolt things have a little pin in the middle of the recess to stop you putting the torx socket thing in. I've never come across these before! Are they some sort of cunning anti tamper bolt? How the hell do you get them out????:confused:

Is the Freelander parts manual online anywhere? I think I have the RAVE cd somewhere if not, is it on there per chance?

I've given up trying to find the source of my vibration on my Freelander and have booked it into a local 4x4 place. Will it be something trivial like a loose engine mounting? Or maybe a driveshaft? Maybe a gear box? Maybe an IRD? Maybe all of the above!:eek: How much do you reckon the bill...

Hi All My 2000 Freelander 2.0l has a distinct "whirr" noise if you rev it and let the revs drop. I'm pretty sure it’s not the alternator bearing. Is there an idler roller that could have a noisy bearing, as it seems to be coming from that side of things? If there is an idler roller there is it...

Hi All Just trying to trace the source of my vibration on my 2000 2.0L Frelander. I have the car on axle stands and are cheking things as I go. Checking the wheel bearings by checking for play by trying to move the wheel whilst holding it at 12 and 6 o'clock and no play. But if I hold the wheel...

Hi All In an attempt to cure my vibration I may pick up a s/hand gearbox for my 2000 2.0L diesel Freelander and fit it whilst I get my gearbox overhauled by a mate inhis spare time. So is a 98 1.8 petrol engine gearbox the same as my '00 2.0L diesel one? If not how can i identify a 2.0L...

I knew Freelanders had a bad reputation but I didn't know a lot of Independant Land Rover places wont even work on them!:eek: Phoned up the guy who used to look after my 200 TDi Discovery to get him to sort the vibration/gearbox problem out and change the belts. He just said Sorry Mate I wont...

Hi All I've been reading through the archives and reading up on Freelanders in general. I've read that when people have vcu problems etc, it’s quite common to remove the rear prop assembly whilst getting a new VCU. Well we never go off road or anything :o; our Freelander is simply an estate...

Hi All My 2.0l diesel is due a cambelt change shortly. Anyone had this done recently? If so, was it by an independant or a LR dealer? If you dont mind me asking what did it cost? Many thanks.
