Frelenader 2l di

pimpao · Apr 27, 2010

Hi all,
I have just bought a freelander year 2000, di diesel.
Because I have never had one I would like to ask a question.
The car is only 76000miles, it starts well and does not make any knocking noises whatsoever and drives well but the engine as I start moving and until it doesn't rev a bit the car shakes a bit, since it revs higher it seems to be smoth.
Because i have never driven a diesel engine it sounds a bit strange, just wondering if it is normal or there would be any problems, would appreciate your help,
thanks

Thanks

Well, answer the man - whats a Frelenader?

The only suggestions I can offer is to either get the clutch out and refurbish it, or live with it. Not much else you can do.

It's a surprisingly revvy turbo diesel. Give it a little more right boot, there's not much torque between 1000-2000rpm, so more loud pedal and less time slipping the clutch makes it much smoother (at least in mine).
