Thanks, had the same prob today, but still managed to change to oil and filter using a piece of cardboard to divert oil flow!lol It is a **** design, fairplay. They should've just maded it one piece.

Maybe a thick Newbie question, but still?

What will that do ?

full of eels aye

Diolch yn fawr!

UPDATE:::::: Charged Air Con charged and still the sound remains! It's definitely coming from the nearside (passenger) footwell. Might it be the expansion valve????? Stefan.

Hi Chaps, During some servicing today I had some trouble taking the engine undertray off. Are other peoples' undertrays only held on by screws? I managed to undo two bolts at the rear of the tray, but there were no other screws, just rivets? I did try removal of the...

Is the crankcase filter required on the XeDi version?

Hi chaps, I've not long bought a Freelander and I'm starting a service so that I'm happy that everything, mostly, is fine. I've upgraded the lights to Xenons, not service, but still looks great. I changed oil and filter this morning, horrible thick black crap came out! I...

By the way, the reason I ask is because poeple don't seem to rate Brit Parts.

Hi all, I'm looking for the best place to buy parts for my newly acquired freelander. I want to do a full service and replace the belts, after what I've read I need to replace three. Haynes manual is arriving this week. Regards, Stefan.

Oh dear, perhaps time to find a good independent garage. Does anyone know of a good garage near East Grinstead, West Sussex?

I do want to have a go offoad. I checked the HDC control, works quite well.

after doing further research it does appear that low AC gas could give a sound that I have described. When I get paid I'll get the monkeys at kwik fit to do it, whilst I know they're supposed to be monkeys, I also know they have an automatic machine for the job. They can't possible mess it up!

Definately coming from the near side must be close to the firewall because I can't tell whether it's close outside or inside.

I've just been out in it quickly for fun. I've noticed there seems to be a link between the air conditioning. I can put the blowers on fine, as soon as I touch the Air Con button the noise starts up slowly for about 5 seconds and then fades away.

2 litre XeDi

It's the L-Series (I think) a 2000 reg standard 2 litre Freelander diesel.

I didn't think the FBH was supposed to hiss like that. The sound is like compressed air escaping. I'm waiting for my gf to drive the car home then I can check it, until then service the hoover!lol

thanks guys
