Thanx Bryso90 for your 2 pence Yes i drove round the estate with the handbrake on yesterday...the more i think about it, the more i think it might be the act of braking putting a strain on something else ie CV joints or even rubber bushes, as the sound could be a rubber screeching noise...

Would bad adjustment cause the scraping noise though ? I have the same noise - just posted a question on the subject. Didnt find this post on the search.

Hi hope someone can help me.......I have a 2006 td4, and over the past couple of months i have been getting a scraping noise from my rear wheels when braking. New shoes were fitted previously by a trusted mechanic,after the handbrake seized on. The noise started quietly/intermitantly, it sounds...

My 56 reg did the same..sends u mad- a clonk when breaking....a mechanic friend stripped the calipers down, he said that the hollow retaining pins ? were packed full of grease, and the vacuum this created allowed the pads to move in the caliper...i think thats what he meant, no problem now for...

I am told by a neighbour, who is a mechanic that had a TD4 with a power problem, that during the time prior to fixing it ( which took loads of time and money) was very diesel sounding (rattle). he says mine is making the same noise, but so far performance is OK. after testing this and changing...

I Agree with ianda, same thing happened on my 56 Reg. Took the fuse out for a temporary fix, and then scratched my head when my next door neighbour , who used to work at Lucas long ago, came out. Always up to the challenge is Keith. Anyway took the wiper motor out of the backdoor, tested a few...

Mine used to smell a bit..sort of dirty smell all the time. I bought an aircon sanitizer for about 5 or 6 quid and sprayed it through all the vents and where the pollen filter is housed..now smells much better

Hi all, I bought a soft top for my freelander off flea-bay last autumn...as you can expect i want to use this now that the 'good weather is here. When i went to fit it i realised that there are no rear brackets with it, which fix to the rear hardtop fixing points. Doeds anybody know where i can...

Just remembered i had a small clunk, and it turned out to be over greasing of the tube which the bolts move through the caliper. It was causing a vacuum stoping the caliper returning to the rest position,and therefore wearing one pad, and allowing the pad to move upon breaking. A quick clean and...

Might it be the drop arm link i think it's called !

Hi each My next door neighbour sorted it (Genius - used to work at Lucas many years ago)). We went through all checks, switches,earths, relays etc, eventually taking off the motor. After deliberation and checking the motor which worked fine, he removed the plastic switch / contact plate. With...

Thanx each, I'll check it out and let u know Pete

Hi Gordon, The switch feels fine, but i suppose it could but still be shorting out...i am wondering if it could be the reverse light switch, as it only stopped on after i reversed this morning...also wondering if the weather may have something to do with it, as we had a bit of the white stuff...

Hi, Can anybody give me a clue why my rear wiper on my 2006 frelander will not turn off. The only way i can stop it is to remove the fuse. Everything else seems to work OK. thanx :(Pete

Hi I bought a second hand leather suede interior, and the suede on the drivers seat is 'bobbly' through use. Does anybody know of a way to restore this to its former glory. I presume this suede is Faux suede (Alicantra or something) Cheers Pete

Hi, Can anybody tell me if a leather interior (inc Door cards) from a 2004 Freelander 3 door, into my 2006 3dr Adventurer please Pete
