Hello

This is my first post to the forum and I would be grateful if someone out there is able to point me in the right direction regarding a problem with my Freelander.

I own a Freelander 1 TD4 HSE (06 model) – in the last few months it has developed a problem which is driving me nuts! When I hit 50 – 70mph the car starts to pull. This only last for a few seconds but happens quite a few times whilst travelling down the motorway.

Ordinary short journeys to work, shops etc are fine it just seems to be as soon as I hit the motorway.

I’ve taken the car to a Land Rover dealer who wired it up to a computer and could not find any faults. I’ve also had another garage look briefly and they neither can find anything wrong.

When the problem first developed I thought it was the wind pulling the car but now I know there is something not quite right. My Freelander is sluggish when it is pulling but eventually settles down and I continue with motorway speeds.

I’m not quite sure what to do – I have booked the car in for a full service and asked the garage to replace the fuel filter. If that doesn’t make much difference I will replace the fuel pump but I obviously do not want to throw money away and still have the problem.

My Freelander has done approx. 89000 miles so I imagine it is time to change the fuel filter / pump anyway? A small service was done earlier this year.

Can anyone help? Thanking you in advance…
 
The car doesn't pull from side to side - with my foot on the accelerator the car seems to struggle with the speed, like it is sticking but then is ok.
 
hi

sounds like a fuel pump failing, when was the fuel filter last changed

if u do replace the pump use an oem one as the cheaper ones dont last very long

have u put any injector cleaner through the system

hope that helps abit
 
All booked for a replacement fuel filter and pump next week with a Landy dealer so I hope this solves the problem. I can't see any evidence that the filter or pump has ever been replaced.

Thanks for your helps guys.
