My stepdaughters was doing this last night on her way home from York to devon, she stopped for fuel at the garage at the junction of the motor way where she used to live....2 mins from us!!!! Went down, (it was doing what yours is).......no loose wires, tap the starter motor....sorted! Just need...

ooooooo....never seen a turbo 3.5.......does it go very well normally? Definatley get the plugs out to see what they're like, and leave them out for a while..take out the fuel pump relay and if the batteries good crank it a little.......

I was beginning to wonder if anyone liked them, they sold well enough.

well sticky starter motor is all it was.......simples. Freelander, the best selling, class leading, saviour of land rover........

yep....i told her not to buy it but that don't help her now:)

it would, and i should know better......1.8 petrol, manual.

.....Why would i want two discoverys......

How did i know someone would come back with that...........:rolleyes:

:doh:Hi Guys....normally live in the Discovery area but my stepdaughters Freelander has failed to start.....Any usual things on freelanders i should look for when my lift arrives in ten mins.... She's on her way home to devon so any help would be lovely in the next ten mins. Nick.

......so is this a no, don't buy, i'm not sure, you guys are normally so up front.......

....tread carefully, no need for officers attitude but this now needs carefull attention from yourself........and i doubt very much that a single police person has the ability to take the car off your son without a valid reason, which they have to prove....due dilligence and all.......if the...

Can you re-expalin the problem a little better, is it auto or manual?

Here you go.........The Definitive Alarm Spider Post - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum Nick.

..There is a great link to the spider on here, which i will find and pass on or something.....i would read it first as the guy who wrote spent some serious time and effort chaseing and fixing all manner of stuff that was not broken..... Nick.

...dim lights that shouldn't be on sounds suspiciously like a bad earth.....does it have a trailer socket? Also check there is no water in lens......

....how much fuel is in the tank, if it's not full, fill it up.......stranger things have happened! Also i would check all the electrical connectors for fuel system are secure and check the inhibitor switch on gear selector....

....on the funny side, in my experience, generally exactly the thing that (if i owned a great car manufacturing establishment) i wouldn't use!!!!!

.....i would like another 300tdi, or td5 and then i would run on home filtered fuel fuel.....but for now i have to keep basil........lpg is only 61.4 here if i buy it from a fourcourt so still cheap.....with the work i do i make sure the fuel is paid for by everyone else as it's my biggest expense.

I would look at v8 developments site for reference or ask mr Martin direct.......there are things involved with rebores that i havn't got involved with...... Nick.

....i made a mistake this time which was i thought someone else would do it quicker than me.......no complaint's about V8 devs, they have been brill......but if it happens again (please god nooooooooooo!) i will just do it here...... I was reading an article in mag about a 4.0 v8 d2 used in...
