    Handbreak sticking again.....

    If it holds on one or two clicks it's adjusted up far to much and may be the cause of your problem.

    Thinking of changing 06 FL1 TD4 for 59 FL2 TD4

    I switched 6 months ago and am very impressed. Test drive it, it's different and much improved in my opinion. Price seems reasonable, though you might be pushed to get £5000 trade from a Honda dealer.

    Hot/Warm Starting problems on TD4

    If you have no joy with the cam-sensor I would suspect an injector leak back.

    Towbar electrics

    If you need a live feed for something that you want on either when you brake, indicate, reverse, turn your lights, or fogs on then can't see why not.

    Towbar electrics

    Don't cut the connector off. It should have a blanking plug on it, this is actually the other end of the connector. All you need to do is buy the little crimp connectors to insert inside it, I got them from RS components for a couple of pounds, and its done properly.

    wheel noise

    Could be so many things. Drive past the wall again and gently apply the handbrake to see if its related. See if it changes if you turn hard left or right at higher speed for wheel bearings. After that drop the prop for rear UJ or prop mount bearings. Can really think what a squishy noise...

    Whining noise on full lock

    If it happens at low speed or stationary its power steering.

    Looking for advice on buying Freelander TD4

    If you look at the dealers stock on the ad in auto trader you will see cars described as immaculate at £900, was only suggesting the seller may not the one to buy from. Suggest you calm down and lay off the ****. Don't suppose the original poster will be back again now anyway with such helpful...

    Looking for advice on buying Freelander TD4

    What are you on about? If you bothered to click on the original posters link you would see the stock and they are Mercs. Really good advice though, not so fantastic fanatic.

    Looking for advice on buying Freelander TD4

    Price for the year seems reasonable although a bit high on the miles. Looking at dealers stock they are selling immaculate cars for around £900 so would ring a few alarm bells with me.

    Boot Locking Problem

    Trip settings etc. Windows may need to be recalibrated, just by opening the holding the button same closing. If its an auto they are meant to learn how you drive so mpg may alter for a short while, nothing to worry about. Not sure of anything else.

    Boot Locking Problem

    Will it not unlock from the button on the dash if you don't want to remove the fob? You could try disconnecting the battery for a while then touching the + and - leads together, with the battery still disconnected, but this will reset everything.

    suspension - brake lines

    No union, its one piece from the flexi to the abs, easy enough to feed copper through though. What steel pipe would you need to flair? You'll probably want to replace the flexi as well as they don't want to come apart when corroded. The abs unit has two sizes of connections so have the correct...

    Problems or not

    Why not get a test drive in an FL2, on the pretence of buying, think it might sway your decision towards it.

    Help with Terrain fault please

    Fantastic, never though you could lock it into 50/50 drive for front and rear wheels, as in sand mode, just using your blood.

    fl1 traction control problem

    Think that's only on early models, 2003 should go out after start up.

    engine rebuild

    Unless there is a major problem with the engine you have, even at that millage, leave it alone, you'll only create problems.

    freelander td4

    Why give the guy grief, just because he thinks he's buying an FL2 4 years before it was produced and believes the millage, doesn't make him gullible.

    Rear suspension

    May have been just have been the lean as you turn but if you have now changed one spring, who knows.
