Oh dear. Would that be an easy fix? Or does it mean a clutch replacement? Thank's, Rob

Actually I think your right as I can remember reading that & because I couldn't hardly get reverse I asked the mschanic to pull it gently out a touch then after a couple of minutes push it back into place using a screwdriver due to it being at an awkward angle. So you don't believe this would...

Thanks nodge. I did have the gearstick gaiter off to replace & sometimes the knob lift's up abit so wondering if this would also cause problems. The local guy at garage was meant to re-set the reverse solenoid which sits at the base of the stick & to the left but he had other job's to sort so he...

Hi. My freelander 2 has been off road for quite a while now due to having gear select issue's. I noticed the gears getting a little stiff then after a week I was having trouble getting it into mainly forward gears but also reverse. It would select fine for a while then start getting stiff...

I live in kings Lynn. Now on my 2nd freelander (1 & 2). It's been a testing time with them both & still is. atm I'm dealing with gear select issue's. Sometimes won't go into certain gear's (forward & reverse) & it's dangerous if I'm trying to drop a gear while overtaking. I think I'm nearly...

Just remembered that that my mate drained the fuel from his written off car & gave it to me to put it in my tank, but it looked clean as I checked b4 using it. The fuel was about 4/5 wks old. This was my 1st concern when I broke down. Thanks for your advice, Rob

Is it in the tank?

2 wks ago.

My 08 freelander 2.2 broke down Thursday. Will start but as soon as I touch the throttle she cuts out & to restart I have to remove then replace key fob. RAC suggests its the pump. For the past 6mth or so the fuel gauge was zeroing to empty if I went below half a tank & sometimes this would put...

We unblocked the egr valve when we realised the new air mass sensor didn't make any difference. We kept the new mas sensor plugged in tho. Funny enough the diagnostic said something about air intake & hot air errors.

Everything turned out to be a hole in the turbo pipe (which was missed when someone checked them). However, when I gun it at junctions etc she hesitates for a second b4 going (dangerous when trying to get across the A11 at roundabout). She also went into limp mode on Thursday when traveling to...

Hello members. I've been having a hell of a time trying to find the cause of black smoke coming from my 08 fl2. (high mileage ) It started hesitating when I gunned the engine & it got steadily worse but also started smoking (black). When we disconnected the mass sensor plug it ran ok but...

Hi Nodge. We're going to check that tomorrow b4 I go ordering air mass flow plug thingy. Thanks again & I'll keep u posted.

I think my black smoke has to do with the air flow meter. It only occur's when we plug it back in & that's when the black smoke happen's. Here we go again.

I have a good look at the airbox Ian & ensured it was sealed. Thanks for your help though.

If the Italian service means a good burn-up along the bypass then I've just done that

Ok, I've removed the blocking plate but now have lack of power (the reason I blocked egr valve in 1st place ). Only a small amount of black smoke but I'm assuming it's just burning off what was left in pipe's etc. (Certainly not anywhere near as much as when I blocked egr valve ). Lot's of oil...

J Just wondering if u got the black smoke sorted on the fl2? I have same problems with my fl2 (08 & hi mileage). Blocked off egr valve & that's when the black smoke started. Prior to that the engine started hesitating badly when I tried to gun the engine. After I disconnected the maf sensor...

I've not checked crankcase filter yet. But I'm assuming it could be oily due to amount of oil in engine area. I remember my fl1 had to have crankcase sensor after blowing white smoke.
