Near Llandovery, still working, got past the really twisty bits with working ACE, and an engine that wants to rev.

Sellers market, if you want a maintainable LR which is easy to keep on the road, you have to pay for it. As to Defender prices, a D2 is a much nicer place to be.

Mine does the same on one specific hump in the road that I would go through at 40mph usually. The answer has been to gently slow down to 30 while approaching the obstacle and then speed up again. Problem solved!

never been known and that's including the Rover 75 M47 engine which is the same as the TD4 sometimes the oil cooler seals can fail and water can then get into the oil but that would show up as a cream on the oil cap way before all the water went...

Does anyone have a layout for an auto gearbox td5 2002 I am putting one back together and would be great to see a diagram but can’t find one k can print out? My landrover parts book only has the manual diagrsm Thanks Nigel

Personally I think that in reality they are all overpriced. Expensive to own, run, fuel, tax, insurance and park now with emissions rated parking. Galv chassis would be getting on for £10k fitted so the sellers would want good money for it...

Freelander 1 TD4

Was it in a 20mph limit zone?

Just looked at what a galv chassis costs now and it’s around 3k, was 2k last time I looked so probably 6k for a galv chassis one is realistic now not 5k. Also, I think I was right on one last night after reading it again LMAO! I reckon I’m going...

Where can I get that schematic from? It looks useful.

Hi guys, in have some troubles with my RR L320 2009. For the last weeks when I am driving all of the sudden 'HDC fault' pops on. When this happen everything is ****ed up. The front of the car drops down and the rear goes high in the sky. When I...

looks a good un, specially as it came from Japan. Might have to dig a bit deeper re the chassis, could fit lpg at the same time. Is your bid in there @kevstar ? 🤣 🤣 🤣

You could always pay a paltry amount each year to support the forum, and they all disappear…!

Bought a cheap ornery bbq yessdi as sick of the lack of taste from the gas one. We also got some grapebush stems etc as fuel. A mate of ours bbqs with them and his stuff tastes delish. We also have a lot of mature pine cut down two years ago...

Yes would seem I should have donealittle more research I have since found muddymods do an upgrade at £250 for the pair so will keep my fingers crossed I pass the mot then look into upgrading I guess

I would have said the same, but while searching the topic on a number of forums I saw several comments to this effect and evidently they do it from new🤔. My friend's does the same. Very disconcerting because its definitely an "ouch" sound!

So you grow venison now? Nice!

When doing motorsports recovery you could have the same problem, some Dhead rallyist would put his vehicle in the bush and then moan about scratched paint etc. Most however were very nice and some even tipped. ;)

I'm curious, has anyone really heard of the TD4 HG failing, and the whole engine being damaged to overheating? Is it likely I have damaged the full engine? A thread on here from 2018 said it was rare this would happen, but it's 2025 now.

Thank you, Arctic. I will follow these steps :)

Thanks, Kev! Glad to be here. Oooh I did a lot of googling but didn't see about a sniff test - will give it a go! Cheers

Just one of many examples available. I would get a good quality ‘oem’, but not a genuine LR. https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/land-rover-freelander-2-front-left-suspension-arm-lr007206/

£400 - for a lower control arm? 😱

When I was looking at parts they list at around £400 each and the bushes were £40 the pair so seemed like a no brainer plus the fact you can get them made me think it might not be such a hard job

Morning All. :D Another lovely day in the sky. Have a great day! :D

Would have thought they would need pressing in, on the bench. Why not just get a new arm, with the bushes already in place?

All I was told was that I need new BCM and KVM. Is this so?

I’m not sure to be honest but yes diagnostic has been done.

Hi Guys, Thank you all for your input with my issue. It’s parked up awaiting a specialist to have a look at noise but not till July 16th 🙄😩🫩 Once I get the final diagnosis I will let you all know .. Appreciate all the help 🙏🏽

Hi Everyone, I have a 2010 V8 Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel .. I’ve just had my car diagnosed as it wasn’t starting due to buying it with the push start stop button cut off and I've been told the Body Control Module (BCM) and Keyless Vehicle...
