Hi Billy G Yes I have seen this now it looks a lot better. I have already changed mine using the origioal part so will do it next time it needs it. Thanks for the info by the way. I got in the car today and started up and again a cloud of smoke out of the back. It is driving me mad now. Has...

Hi. What is the BMW mod? Have not driven car today but yesterday it was a pleasure to drive. Will check later if I still get the white smoke.

Hi I believe that the part number is Landrover Part number LLJ500010. I bought a complete one from ebay for £21 and was delivered in two days. Idle is a lot better now after fitting and a lot quieter/ smoother but I still had a bit white smoke when started up this morning but no where near as...

Did you get the box back and did it make a difference or have you the same problem?

Hi phlippo if i had seen this thread i wouldn't have started my own yesterday. I had similar problem until yesterday where when I started I had white smoke for about five secs and a very lumpy idle, choked feeling in car. I changed the crankcase breather and the difference was immense. Before...

Thanks for reply Chaser What do you think? Do you think that there is a leak somewhere? I just hope that the added pressure from the crankcase hasn't left some impact somewhere else because it is a lot better now the breather has been replaced. No smoke from exhaust from leaving work and...

Thanks for the responses guys. Unluckily Alan appeared to change everything in his thread so it could be something else. I think that this all happened after I cleaned out the manifold as instructed in the EGR sticky thread. Could be coincidence. I used Mr Muscle to do it and got loads of gunk...

Hello again. Two things really, I just thought that I would pass on some info regarding what I have experienced and a question. My symptoms were as follows I would get into my Freelander and when I turn the key the idle was lumpy and rattly and when I put my foot on the pedal a cloud of...

Stevo Did you manage to resolve this???

Oh dear, drove up to the Lakes with the family for a short break for a three nights. Normally we would take my wife's car on any long journey (newer and more economical) but decided instead to take the Freelander. Well, after 70+ miles and with 2 miles to go to the hotel and after a lovely...

Thanks Chaser Am I right in thinking then that the MAF on mine combines both the air flow meter and temp sensor where newer ones have seperate ones?

Hi I must admit when my fuel usage has improved dramatically since replacing the air filter, cleaning the maf sensor, cleaning inlet manifold and EGR (see sticky thread). I believe that all this must have been restricting the air flow. I was getting about 21 mpg but since doing all this it has...

Hi all While looking at the engine compartment on EBAY of a facelifted (post 2004) TD4 freelander, I noticed there to be some sort of sensor in the pipe to the intercooler at the front of the engine. Because mine is a pre-facelift and doesn't have this, I was wondering what it is? Just curious...

Thanks for this. The person who has offered me the Becker system informs me that in order for it to work correctly you need a speed sense wire and directional feed from the gear position so it knows which direction you are going in and at what speed. Wierd set up I think. Does anyone know if...

Sorry to bother everyone but is it possible? is there a direction switch in the gear box or something like that? Do Pre Facelift models have this?

Thanks Howardo and chromiumuk I purchased a Haynes manual about two months ago and it has been like a bible to me since, it is driving my wife mad the amount of time I have my head in it. I also downloaded the RAVE cd from Green Oval which was a really good idea. You are right by the way it...

Thank you for the advice. Do you think that it is worth going to Land Rover to change the oils or will it cost me the earth if I go there?

Hi StevoTD4 I had the same problem with my TD4 where you think that you are going to stall on junctions and cause an accident. I also disconnected my MAF and it worked a lot better. So as an interim measure I bought some MAF cleaner from EBAY for £5 and it did help an awful lot but like you I am...

Hi all Is it possible to fit a becker sat nav head unit to a pre facelifted freelander? Is there anything special needed?? i have been offered one from a Discovery and would really like it.

Thanks chaps for the welcome. I finally decided to take the plunge and add myself to this arena (hopefully no lions in it though). After reading some of the posts here, I believe that you have to watch out for these tratter boys. I took the Freelander for a service to the local garage but...
