Should I sell my Freelander???

I have a 2006 Freelander Td4 commercial with 150,000 miles on the clock. It has started to idle roughly which I think is injectors.

Also when the car is warm it gets hard to change gears.

Vcu is perfect as is the body.

Im wondering should I be thinking about selling it on if it's going to start getting expensive to fix?

Change the gearbox oil, that's a good place to start. Sorted my sticky gears right out.

Got any matches?

So the floor mats fall off aswell as the doors

My god, they is worse than we thought

rough idling could be injectors and you could get them refurbished.

Have you already checked the fuel rail connector, as this has been known to cause poor idling on the td4.

if you do a search, there has been a few threads about it. You can either clean the connectors up, which usually works fine, or there is an upgraded section of wiring loom you can buy to do the job.

either way, better the devil you know ?

If you sell it on in the hope that the new owner won't notice the problem then we'll have a new member on here to help.......

Fix the car, then sell it!

Sorted out idling problem with new injectors, also fitted a new clutch, flywheel, slave and master cylinder.

So I'm keeping it because despite all the critics it's such a good vehicle.

Good man .

get it sorted and keep it ,nowt wrong with a freelander....:5bcheers2:
