hi fellers, got a quick question about a rattle under the car somewhere. basically, it happens when under acceleration, usually only for a short while - i have no continuous noise, or whine, or anything - just a rattle. there sometimes, gone the next. i've looked underneath and can't see...

Thanks, will do.

Afternoon All, I'm having some trouble with the Hippo and would like to get some ideas on what i can try, before i take it to a garage. I was told recently during my last repair that the voltage reading from the car kept varying / oscillating. After this, a week ago i got back to my car...

Right, thanks for that great method, ill give it a go. Another development i've noticed is, that as well as the temp guage swaying, my trip computer has reset itself twice now overnight, never did that before (first time i thought maybe i did it, second time i was sure). Not sure if its all...

ok, will go to local LR guy here to do that, presumably its not something i can do without some sort of pressure sensor? p.s Found a really good chap for LR stuff over here in CZ, Land Rover :: British Cars Ltd s.r.o. , seems he does a fair few expeditions and he's certainly not a lying stealer.

Thanks, connectors checked and cleaned for good measure. MAF off changes driving characteristics a little, but does not remove the stalling at idle problem. Now ive had time to log it a little, the problem seems to only occur when the car has been running for about 20mins or more - at normal...

Right, cleaned all contacts thoroughly, and although certain things improved slightly (seemed to run a little smoother) - the main problem of the engine cutting out at idle / low revs is still present. Tomorrow will disconnect MAF and go for a drive. Also applied diesel additive, will see how...

Cheers - thats my saturday sorted then ;-) Will let you all know if it works...

Also just found RoverRon's thread about the freelaner ecu harness tech bulletin - might be worth a try too - any idea which contacts to unplug, clean, and replace to try and see if it makes a change? Where would i find them?

Right, will try disconnecting MAF today / tomorrow (had planned to try already but it slipped my mind). Just been for a drive, and once the car warms up, it starts it erratic idle, then, when alowed to reast a while, its fine again. Also, somethimes it jsut "gets better" for a bit...could it be...

Hello Fellers, I've been having some problems with my TD4 recently, and since i will need to do most repairs myself, i wondered if you might offer some advice at where to start solving these symptoms: About a month ago, while on route between Brno and Prague (about 200km), i picked up...

Thanks for the reply, i don't really expect it to DO very much at all, and im not looking for it to be a great and 100% traction system, but my concern is it just seems to be doing nothing at all :-) and i like making sure things work on me motor. I do spend a lot of time out here on country...

Right this has still been bugging me, because i keep noticing small things that just dont seem to add up, at least for me. So, i was out on a wet mud/grass hill, looong grass, and moving up this hill resulted in the TC kicking in (so far so peachy). Then, i notice that ive hit an especially...

Cheers fellers :D

Thanks for all the explanations and advice :-) dont get me wrong, i really dont have a problem with freebie handling, its never ever let me down, and i simply wouldnt want a two wheel drive car again. It's just ive had the freebie 5 years now and never been shy to take it out and about...

Ahh thanks for that. So would i be right in thinking then that if my rear right wheel is firmly on the ground not slipping, the left is going ape**** (lots of round and round), then the right should be braked slightly by the system - provided im not putting in quite a bit of boot? In which...

Afternoon fellas, Ive got a bit of a question about my freebie, ive been reading up on how it handles traction control and comparing it to my Dad's Disco 3 TDV6 which has DSC. Ok so i know the braking system on my freelander should brake spinning wheels, thus shifting torque through the...

There is an interesting article about the fuel duty rise and other car related taxes here if anyone is interested....its certainly a different point of view and worth a read: The 'green' car tax grabs that don't add up | The Register TTFN

Many thanks to you all...i know what im looking for now :) Ill start off by checking the plugs first methinks then the fuses / fusable links. Think i will leave the bulb on the dash till last since if i remember correctly i have to remove sterring wheel to get to it (?). I have a rave cd...

Cheers will do. By the way...do you mean in the under-bonnet fuse box that sits next to the batery? or is it somewhere else in the top right of the bay?
