My fuel pump started playing up just over a year ago, gradual fuel starvation until the car ground to a halt. My replacement fuel pump which is probably now out of warranty has started the loud electrical whine that you've described. I get a very occasional issue similar to the fuel starvation...

Quite a few Wi-Fi OBD dongles on eBay, which would you recommend and which app would you download?

Thanks, I'll give that a go although the second check is a bit tricky unless it decides to start again.

I wouldn't know how to check it to be honest, maybe the recovery guy did know what he was talking about ;-) Tried the old MAF and got it started, same issue though, max is between 2500 and 3000 revs. Did remember to switch the synergy :-) Put it all back together and won't start again :-( If I...

RAC won't come out as it's been recovered and now my responsibility for diagnosis and repair. Charged the battery overnight as was nigh on dead from a few hours on the side of the motorway. Had a delve round to check everything now the weather has calmed. It starts and sounds to be running quite...

No K&N on it. If I have home start cover then I'll get the RAC out for a diagnosis. Symptoms are that the starter turns over but no ignition or engine firing. Wondered if it was a fuelling problem but it's all guesswork until I get a fault code.

Should have said 2003 TD4

Looking for some advice on what I can check myself. I may well be able to get the RAC to have a look depending on what my cover includes. I was on the motorway and the car dropped into a kind of limp mode. It would struggle to get near 70 and any incline then 50 was top whack. No warning...

There's little value in the car anyway, it's a 2003 FL1 so I'm not convinced I'd have recouped the extra investment if I should part-ex it. I'm also not sure I could have got a decent set of M&S tyres for anywhere near the money I've spent. All-in with fitting and balancing I'm looking at £140...

Thanks, the advice here is always valued and appreciated. In an ideal world I'd have put new rubber on all round given the degradation in performance as they near that 4mm mark, plus you can't put a price on safety. However a new set of Continentals would set me back around £600 to £700. A key...

Has anyone any views on the differences between an M&S rated tyre against a full winter tyre? I run a set of Continental 4x4 Contacts M&S rated tyres on my FL1. They have about 3.5mm tread left all round and worked well in the short bout of cold weather last year. I have an option on a set of...

The car has been fine then all of a sudden on a fairly long journey back to Sheffield I noticed it harder and harder to get it into a gear. It got to the point where I left the motorway and in a queue found I couldn't find a gear at all. I noticed the clutch pedal wasn't returning all the way...

Thanks all. The clamp was rusted to buggery so fell apart as soon as the bolt started moving, guess being spot welded didn't help. Will let the garage have a go with some heat first to see if it will budge, if not which looking at the state of it is unlikely, then they can cut it. The...

This looks like the thing, the diameter of the exhaust is 62mm. EXHAUST CLAMP (65mm) FOR Land Rover Freelander 1998-2006 | eBay

My rear silencer has developed a great big hole where the piece of metal should be that is routed through the mounting rubber. I've picked up a new rear silencer and decided to have a go swapping it over. There's a clamp bolt that seems to hold the silencer to the intermediate exhaust...

Obviously I'm not as quick off the mark as some :rolleyes: The puller didn't arrive until Friday and meantime I did try all the suggestions for freeing the arms and they weren't budging. First chance today and even the puller took some effort to free them off. Top tip about the cup hooks...

I've ordered a puller as I've had another go and they seem stuck fast despite trying all suggestions. Thanks for tips, especially for getting the plastic rivets out.

The nuts came off fine but the arms aren't budging, I tried a small C-Clamp as a puller but that's not budging them either. Think I'll have to invest in puller off eBay. Thanks for the tips, I'll put some copper grease back on the spline when I refit.

It looks like I have a problem with the linkage as the drivers side wiper isn't working. I've hit a problem straight away, prying the wiper arms off of the spindles. In the Haynes manual it talks of prying them off with a flat bladed screwdriver but they aren't budging despite being soaking in...

Late last year I bought some a full set of part-worn Continental 4x4 Contact tyres off eBay. Was very happy as they they were a fraction of the cost of new, not one patch and at least 5.5mm of tread across each tyre. Very composed and quiet on the tarmac and motorway runs. Got a chance to...
