    Help! Freelander TD4 starting problems

    Boby, How many times have the injectors been out? How many injectors have been replaced? The reason I'm asking: I had a similar problem a year or so back. The garage changed all the injectors (I was lucky - still under warranty at the time) but didn't solve the problem straight away as the...

    Tow Bar and Stabiliser

    Just an update and bit of feedback! As it happens, the Caravan was fitted with a "Winterhoff" Stabiliser and as of yet, no such problem as with the AlKo as it doesn't clash with the spare wheel at all. So, if you really don't want to muck about with removing the wheel or opening the door to...

    Tow Bar and Stabiliser

    Just looking at an "Al-Ko" Stabiliser for towing. I have a Land Rover Factory fitted detachable tow bar fitted to my Freelander (1 - MkIII) and wondered if anyone knows if the clearance required by "Al-Ko" is available. i.e. with the handle up, is it clear of the spare wheel. The 60mm and 68mm...

    Scary Moment!

    86,500 miles, and other than a couple of new injectors after last years trip to France (???), no problems with my Td4. Then.......... last Thursday travelling up the M5 before Gordano Services, (the steep bit at the end of the Gordano Valley), lost power, engine warning light came on and as soon...

    Automatic car wash

    Believe me! I haven't. If you read my post re:"Pulling over to chat", you'll see I have little time at all on my hands. Since 18th Jan this year, I've driven nearly 3,000 miles up and down Britain, mostly business miles. Weekends are precious if I'm not working of course! So I enjoy the car, I...

    Finally pulled over to chat!

    Thanks for the complements. I think it was a good choice. ;) I've just ordered a Stainless Steel Wheel Cover for it. Does anyone know of a 'Good' artist in the North West that can do me a logo for it. I've seen some really corny stuff and frankly it makes them look cheap. I just need...

    Freelander Competion

    Got to agree with this. Suzuki's are poorly finished, My GSX600 was covered in corrosion within weeks of buying it. I also noticed that the welds weren't particularly neat either. I swapped to Triumph a couple of years ago (Tiger 955i) which is also used on Green Lanes and it's as pristine now...

    Automatic car wash

    Got to agree with this! Never go near the damn things. Scratch yer paintwork. Use a soft sponge and a good quality shampoo and polish. A good resin polish every few washes will reduce the number of scratches you get hoikin' it through the "bush" too ;) ! Washing by hand also gives you the...

    The New one is a Freelander 2 and completely different animal. Nice though. The Mk3 is 2004 onwards (I believe) "old shape" if you like.
