I have genuine Pump, Thermostat and Housing and gaskets on order :)

Wheel speed sensor maybe?

YES..... that is what am an now using as a guide to getting the job done!!! Nice found!

I thought that it was F and 4. F four fault. Mine did it when i played in some water without the splash covers on. Check the 2 large round connectors between the radiator and the gearbox on the front offside of the car.

I have Goodyear Wrangler ATRs on. I'm still suprised at now long they last, never had any problems. Where £120 a corner last time I bought some.

The drive belt is on an automatic tensioner. There is no way to change the tension.

Peeps on here reckon about 4 hours if you don't do it the official way. Land Rover quote 7 hours labour I seem to remember being told

Have seen the threads and know that its a bitch of a job. I will give the garage a call on Tuesday, but i assume that they will deny responsibly anyways. i will also have to pay to get the car recover to them. Was thinking of ordering an LR pump from Famous Four and having a go myself.

Do a quick search for "three amigos" It's usually the switch on the brake pedal.

it started making a noise, so i looked once we arrived where we where going. Had a look around, noticed that the belt was loose. Noticed water leaking out, when i moved the belt. Checked water pump pulley, i can rock it on its own bearings. Put belt back on, started it up, 20seconds...

Hence the VERY rough guide, lol

As a very rough guide.... If you have orange indicator lenses on the front, then its pre YA999999 If you have clear indicator lenses its a post 1A000001

So I need a new water pump on my 2001 TD4. The one that is on was fitted just about 12 months ago, and is now shot. This was an after market one and not a Landrover one. It was fitted by my local independent LR guy. So do i fit another aftermarket pump or a Landrover sourced one. There...

I used some Mer plastic restorer / cleaner. Last a few week then back to grey again.....

Just been and looked, seems that the water pump bearings are warn to point that the pulley goes far enough out of alignment to cause the belt to jump off. I suppose that why they call then ****part. :(

Hi Tornado Motorsport have done cages for freelanders in the past. Look for user called Real Beale, he has a rally freelander with tornado roll cage. As for the winch mount, there are a few guys on here that have designed and fabricated there own, do a quick forum search and see if the come up.

Looked at the trust haynes manual. When i looked under the car, i managed to push the drive belt off with one finger, it was very loose. However, there is no way to change the tension as the tensioner should deal with that, even if the water pump is busted. That implies that the tensioner...

so 12 months after I had the water pump changed on my 2001 td4, the water pump as failed yet again. This time, its turned the week old coolant black. any idea what keeps killing water pumps?

I once ran the car through some water, with the underside covers off. I got the F4 fault and the gearbox stuck in 3rd or 4th. It turns out that of you get the two bi round connector wet you get the F4 thing. Also, hippos post state that the connector can become damaged and need to have a...
