Its probably the lambda sensor

get a garage to check it over, or do an emissions test for an mot

yours is mems 3,

so you can grab a secondhand one from a rover of that year or get a brand new bosch one

dont buy a cheap one
 
mine was using shed loads of petrol until i got the VCU sorted, now its quicker and uses less fuel.

theres a thread in the main freelander section, but basically its the thing that controls the ratio of 4 wheel drive, how much power goes to the back ect. It if gone, then the freelander is stuck in 4 wheel drive which uses more fuel, it also makes the prop shafts fight against each other which slows the car down. a recon one is £275 fitted.

If you reverse your freelander while on full lock and it feels like someones pressing the brakes then its gone.
