A couple more Freelander TD4 questions

PaulN said:

Thanks guys..... not a single reply....

How about a little advice on these things?

Passengers rear door has a slight creek when opening and closing is the thin plate type hinge a known fault area?

The clutch pedal still creeks when fully pressed down. Is it a simple greasing job or do they need to change parts?

Cheers

Well At least its a reply.........

The Freelander is still under warrenty so i might as well get it spot on. And ive found this place know the cars better than the dealers. Anyway does that apply to Range Rovers too then? Oh its only a £60k LR why worry..

Hi All,

Been a while but the Freelander is still doing fine, and we are still enjoying it after 2 1/2 years now.

Couple of things i could do with some help on:

1) Looking at the front discs there is a slight groove in one and has a small lip from wear..... Whats the min thickness for the discs before you change them?
No idea
2) Im extending the warrenty in May but would prefer EBC Pads and Discs due to the stopping and reduced brake dust... will this cause problems with the warrenty?
We can't speak on behalf of the warrenty supplier, why not ask them?
3) Passengers rear door has a slight creek when opening and closing ive greased the thin plate type hinge but it all looks a bit cheap and cheerful, is this a known fault area?
All doors creak from time to time, I don't know wheather Freelanders are any better or worse than others.
4) After most bits being changed on the clutch system under warrenty the pedal still creeks when fully pressed down. Is it a simple greasing job or do they need to change parts?
Wouldn't know, mines an auto. If you've had a job done, and you're not happy, take it back.
Sorry for the endless questions but you guys really have helped over the past few years.

Cheers

The creaking will probably be coming from the bearing supporting your clutch pedal. This is a plastic bush which with time has become dirty and dried. The service shop will give it a squirt of WD which will keep it quiet (and you) for a couple of weeks and then it returns.
The way to properly eliminate it is to remove the pedal and shaft and clean and lubricate them with a small amount of grease. Pain of a job, time = money for your service provider.

Or perhaps that reply isn't worth making, which is why you didn't get a quick reply!
