I would very much appreciate some technical advice concerning my 2007 Freelander Series 2 TD4 SE please.
The vehicle has for several months displayed the engine management light and on test it indicates the turbo to be underpowered. The turbo has been flushed through with the appropriate solution and the latest attempt to fix was a replacement pipe to the turbo as the previous pipe was identified as having a small hole; the engine management light was cancelled and the vehicle drove with better acceleration all round but unfortunately the engine management light came back on again a couple days ago, about four weeks after the fix. There is still the noticeable gain in power to the vehicle following installation of the pipe but I now notice the ingress of minor exhaust fumes coming into the car during idle. Could this suggest there to be another leak in the system following the Turbo pipe installationThat is causing the engine management light to come on?
There is a secondary fault with the vehicle that is becoming a real nuisance. The brakes were serviced on the vehicle a little over five weeks ago and a couple days after the service I was travelling around 50 mph when suddenly the vehicle began to judder from the rear nearside wheel as if it was going over rumble strips; I pulled into the verge thinking my rear wheel had worked loose and on discovering that it had not, pulled away to realise that the problem had completely gone, and continued to drive perfectly for the rest of the day even at high speed on the dual carriageway.The bearings and ABS were all thoroughly checked and found to be in good condition. A few days later the same happened again so pulled in to the verge, whereby once again the vehicle pulled away perfectly without further problem. A couple days ago for what is the fourth time exactly the same severe judder occurred yet again and in slowing down this time heard a rotating grinding creak noise from the rear nearside wheel which could suggest bearing failure perhaps? This is all becoming a bit of a nightmare as each time the vehicle is returned to the garage it behaves itself. Your thoughts and suggestions would be so very welcome please to get to the bottom of these two recurring problems.
Kindest regards
