Slob,why don't you sell all that 90's rubbish and buy something decent? Bye the way this is the Freelander forum, if you haven't got one what are you on here for? JEALOUSY!!!:eek:

Now I don't want to get involved in a slanging match,but I bet the freelander on the playing field had normal road tyres and the driver was cr.....p! As I said do the right things with the right kit and have fun.:cool:

Hi Brian, I have tried in the past to tell people if they drive their Td4's or 1.8's as they were meant to be diven most of the bad news wouldn't arise. If you want to blaze up and down the motorway at speeds and revs at the limit then keep writing the tales of woe. Put it this way, try running...

If the guy on e-bay answers I ain't got a LR, then maybe the badge he is selling is the one off yours!!!! why would he have one if he hasn't got a LR?:confused:

Hi, it is better to drive away without running the engine, but I would try giving it more revs as you start moving, especially if your drive is really steep. If it doesn't work may be some other problem.

The best I have used is Autoglym plastic conditioner, 1 litre container. You won't be disappointed.

After reading so many dismal stories, how about this. There is to be a brand new Freelander coming out in 2007, it will be based on the new Ford Focus floorpan and have engines supplied by Volvo. With Land Rover being 100% owned by Ford they say this new model will be free of all the previous...

Did you all know that there is an all new Freelander coming out in 2007. It will be based on the floor pan of the new Ford Focus and have engines supplied by Volvo. Ford as I'm sure you all know own Land Rover 100% say all previous niggles will be a thing of the past, as all other bits will be...

Are the claims of top speeds taken on the flat or downhill? Also how many have had a speedometer check? There are not many cars where they give a spot on mph, as any car mag will verify. After changing tyre sizes ie. 16in to 17in or 15 to 16 it is advisable to get your speedo checked for accuracy.

Here is the attatchment Will, hope it helps you.

Hi Will and Martin, the filter in Wills photo is of the one I was sent first,which for my September 2003 Td4 Serengeti 5dr was the wrong one. The one for my version fits under the rear wheel arch, alongside the fuel pump and sedimentor. Paddocks have now sent the correct one which I am in the...

I have noticed quite a few threads relating to driving Freelanders(petrol&diesel) at speeds they were never designed for. They are basically workhorses, and when used as such will not give you many problems. A vehicle is designed for specific use. If you need to drive at 80/90 or more then a...

Hi, once again I'm sorry to say these vehicles are not meant to be driven at such speeds. The booming etc. is purely because the engine and transmission are at their limit, on the motorway 70/75 will cause no problems, 65/70 even better, for faster 4 wheel drive Suburu will cope much better.

Land rover specs indicate Max power @4000rpm and top speed 102mph, I don't know if yours has been chipped etc. but if not I would think the engine is at its limit. I'm not being cheeky but I don't think this type of vehicle is meant to be driven at those kinds of speeds. (unless you have had...

Well, after getting the right fuel filter from Paddocks it was into the garage to change them. Dropped everything from under the wheel arch, undone quick release couplings, and thought I'll have this done in about half an hour. (Wrong) no way could I get the old filter to move out of the black...

Hi Lab, I'm working on more links, will let everyone know when I find another.

Hello Will, I think my filter is a different type to yours, this is why I had a bit of trouble.I have the correct one being sent to me, so all should be ok now.

Thanks for your help Martin, much appreciated. Jerry.

I have now sorted the problem with my fuel filter. Even though I sent Paddocks the correct info they sent me the wrong fuel filter. I managed to find all the info on the Freelander 2002.5 &2003/ Discovery 2003 model year update on http://calamarco.com/hippo/LRL0578ENG.pdf it's all there from...

Looks like a good site. Hope I can learn lots off you experienced guys and girls.
