I'm running a 1999 Diesel Freelander (L series). It has done 170k.
It has just started to over rev. When stopped at road junction etc it will not idle at its usual 800 revs but runs at 1200+ then rises to 2000 to 2500. This is an intermittent problem but it is becoming more frequent. It will also seem to stall then pick up again whilst driving normally. Occasionally the red engine light flickers on then goes off. Has anyone any ideas where I should start? Is it fuel related? Is it a filter problem? Has anyone experienced this before?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers Dave (Stockton on Tees)

yes fuel would solve yer problem,





























well petrol would solve yer problem:rolleyes:




poor it all over the seats inside with at least one window open, step well back an then throw a lit match trough the window:rolleyes:




i'm pretty sure by the time the fire brigade get there your engine wont over rev ever again:D




but you would get a less sarcastic reply if you posted in the gaylander section:rolleyes:





hope that helps:rolleyes:

I was obviously mistaken in thinking I might get some constructive help from this forum. This was my first post on this forum, and from the response, it is likely to be my last.

i had a car that did that once, i'm racking my brains to remember what it was all about,...
Isuzu trooper...Head gasket went, i know it got hot, temp went up n up, revs? might of done.
Ford Granada, did that.. that was to do with petrol mixture and auto choke, not right.
if anything else comes to me, i'll let you know.
 
Iota,when I had just joined the forum some time ago I had the same sort of reply and took it the wrong way...probably something to do with being woken up at 0530 by jnr and having a hangover !
You'll get bloody good advice on this site .

Just remember it's not OFF ROADING it's GREENLANING eh GRIP you miserable bastid !!!!!!
