Gentlemen I thank you for the info, I will take care when looking at the FL2

Gent, The time has come to upgrade Ive been very happy with my TD4 but its time for a change, I'm looking at the Freelander 2. Do any of you learned gentlemen have any advice on what I should look out for any common problems with this model ? regards Neil

Thanks Andy, Ive finally fixed the old Freelander It turned out to be the fuel pump. Not to bad a job to replace along with a new fuel filter its now running great again

Gents, After having a few years of almost trouble free motoring from my Freelander. I went to it this morning unlocked as usual engine cranked over ok but would not start. The RAC ran diagnostic on and came up with a list of fault codes C1114, C1146, C1150 Any Ideas or help would be...

Thanks for the replies, it turned out to be a loose and dirty connection on the starter

Gents, Parked the TD4 up last night after normal perfect days use. Went to use it today and just got a click from the starter no attempt to crank the engine nothing just a click. The battery seems to be fine no response to a jump start. It seems odd that the starter would just give up...

I have had my TD4 MOT'd today and very pleased that it passed with only one minor advisory (slight rust on reat brake pipe. Greased up and may need replacing for next year) This is a great result as the old gal has done 125K. I may even become a convert. I only had the Freelander to see me...

I have no problem with paying £60 for diagnostics if they are able to tell me what the problem is. Not tell me they don't know and would I like to book the gaylander in for one hour and another go on the diagnostic machine, £50 per hour + £60 This is a so called Land Rover specalist. As you can...

Buy Japanese or German, the cost of repair to Freelanders if the electronic go wrong is outragous £60 just to plug it in only to be told they don't know whats wrong with it Having said that you can usually find the answer to problems on this site

Well it looks like I'll be keeping the Gaylander for a while anyway. Many thanks to booboodag using the information you gave me I cleaned and tested the rear ABS sensors and the problems I had have now been cured. If you have a problem with your gaylander the answers can be found on this site...

Gents, Callled a LR dealer today for the price of a rear ABS sensor and shocked to find out they want £213 + vat. Just had a quick look on the bay of evil and the sensors are for sale at anyting from £12 - £50 Very confused and yes if something is too good to be true then it...

Thanks for that mate. This is very interesting as I have had work done on the rear brakes, although be it mainly the near side. The code I had up P0500? speed probe & P1E00 can-bus error. Maybe I will hang on with the costly diagonstics and check out the the rear ABS sensors cheers...

Well its D day tomorrow for the Gaylander 03 plate TD4, it goes in for full diagnostics tomorrow. Nobody seems to be able to tell me the cause of all the warning lights that are on TC, ABS descent light speedo not working engine management. Depending on the cost of the repairs I could be...

Thanks for that It is a 03 plate TD4 manual. After more research and digging it appears that the Vehicle speed sensor is at fault but I can't find its location any help would be greatly recieved thanks

Gents Just had the gaylander on the diagnostic tester and its showing two codes P0500 which is the gearbox speed probes. Have done a bit of research it appears this may be caused by water/ dirt / corrosion in the multi plug to the gearbox. Can any of you fine chaps give me a clue as to...

Gents, Jumped back in the TD4 after a short stop 45 minutes after pulling off I noticed the TC, ABS, Amber hill decent and the engine management light on. Ive had a quick look at post about the 3 Amigos but can't find any that have the EML as well. Any Ideas please. Also can anyone tell...

Filled the gaylander up today and what a shock I got when I worked out the MPG 41.6 to the gallon Amazing. Normally I usually get around 36, I don't know why the old lad a suddenly upped its game Ive not change anything still using it on my usual routes Long may it continue:D

Thanks gents, Looks like its a trip to the local BMW dealership that should be fun not.

Gent, as the weather has turned warm and I can take the gaylander off the road for a while, its time to give it a bit of a service. I need to get me a BMW crankcase breather filter, are these filters only obtainable from BMW dealers. Can anyone advise me where to get one from. thanks guys

20 degrees C again today - if the weather continues like this I might even consider opening the sliding-roof a centimetre or two! :) Hoo-ah! Singvogel. :cool: The weather here is fantastic, so the rag top is down on the proper car, the gaylander will be needed at the weekend but the sun...
