Hi, bit of an odd question but just thought i'd get some thoughts. i carry a lot of stuff in my 03 plate (5 door) freelander's boot and often find my self putting all my weight into shutting the boot door. i usually get it shut but really have to force it sometimes. I sometimes leave bits in...

Hello. Just wondered if anyone can help me out with this... I was chatting to a landrover mechanic in the pub the other night and i mentioned my freelander TD4 was gonna need its 60k service soon, he offered me some advice, the problem is i'd had a few pints and can't remember the exact details...

I drive a freelander, Its great, i love it. great in the snow!.. but if i could afford to buy and run a disco of the same age/spec i probably would have bought one instead of the freelander. However i can't, and although some of the banter on here is funny at times it can be annoying when your...

My TD4 on an 03 plate had exactly the same prob. tryed bleeding it despite people saying it was a sealed system and not to. just popped the lid off and put some fluid it while getting someone to press the clutch peddle, this seemed to help the first time but then 5 or 6 months later problem...

hi, i've got a TD4 on an 03 plate. the other day i was chatting to a mechanic friend about changing the cam belt on my freelander and he said he thoough it was a timing chain as appose to a cam belt in which case it wouldn't need changing? any body know if this is true as he wasn't 100%? Car has...

Yer, i'd agree with that, it seems that the VCU can be a big and expensive problem on them. Also clutch's don't seem great. I've had the master cylinder go on mine, luckly the master cylinder is the cheaper half, it's the slave cylinder that is expensice (think i got that the right way round)...

Had exactly the same prob with mine few weeks back. It was the intercooler pipe. Cost me £12 and took 10 mins to fix. or you could always use a roll of tape as a temp repair, thats what i did and it lasted from lake district back to nottm befor i repaired it properly. If it helps a pic is...

Freelanders are great in the snow, it'll definatly get u up hills that the adverage 2wd family car won't. U should also find it tows the jet ski brilliantly. I use mine to tow a small caravan. a friend has just bought one for towing there caravan because there fed up of there skoda getting...

Hi, few questions regarding a black pipe which split on my 03 plate TD4 freelander on my recent trip to lake district. I've attached a pic because its easier than trying to describe it. Basically i was going up a very steep pass when i noticed loads of thick black smoke pooring out the exhasue...

Hi, I have an 03 plate TD4, its now done about 55,000 with no major probs really, only issue i've had is the master cylinder on the clutch, think from my reaserch the whole clutch system can play up a bit. master cylinder is a cheap repair (£200), its the slave cylinder which is the expensive...

as fake elvis said, adrian flux were by far cheapest for me. I've heard there not very fast on doing anything about it if you do have an accident though. thats not from personal experience, just what a friend told me...

Hi, i got the brown church roof rack on mine which i've put 4 spot lights along the front of. The wiring i have drilled a hole (well, 2) in the roof and bought it round under the head lining then up through a water tight gromit. looks tidy and doesn't leek, only down side is i got holes in the...

Bet people will be well pleased they opted for the hairdresser version when it snows ;)

What about hammering roughly back in to shape then getting some sill guards to cover the damage. They look cool and would prob make it stronger if anything like simular happened again. Here's a link; Mantec | Quality Land Rover Accessories

I have a TD4 on an 03 plate (55,000 miles), paid £5200 for it 2 and a bit years ago. used if for a fair bit of towing and heavy load carrying and it does a great job. got a roof rack on it too which is ideally for throwing bikes on. As for reliability its been spot on (until last weekend, lol)...

Thank you all for the advice, i went for it and bought my self a master cylinder then got my mate a few beers to fit it for me, it works :) :) !! Now for my next concern - i am just worried from what people have said is the slave cylinder likely to follow, i know a couple of yu said you'd ended...

Its not to major, had exactly the same problem with my drivers door. I got part from scrap yard out of a 3 door (mines a 5 door, they are the same) for £20 and me and my mate fitted it, took us about 2.5 hour but we didn't have a clue what we were doing. its not complex just very fiddley and...

Had a simular problem with my 03 plate TD4, the drivers door locked fine but when 'blipped' (remote key fob) didn't unlock, turned out to be the solinoid/actuator. its a sealed unit so unfortunatly its a case of take it out, bin it, and fit a new one. quite a fiddley job, not complex just...

Hi, I've got a TD4 freelander on an 03 plate with i've had for about 3 years now, and its covered about 53,000 miles. so far its been great, until the other day. The clutch isn't happy... its been playing up for a week or two in that you press the clutch peddle to the floor but the clutch...

ooow, by the way, my 5.25 inch back speakers didn't go straight it. the origional ones were slightly bigger so had to make a little plate up out of MDF.
