Hiya - you have any more details on this 'known fault' - what are the symptons and have LR issued a recall for this to be sorted?? Cheers Stu

Evenin all - just wondering what other sort of fuel consumption folks were getting from their TD4's - mines an 06 Auto and I normally return about 380 miles from a full 60 litre tank - i refitted Roverrons box and changed the setting to #5 and am amazed at the difference - I am on 430 miles from...

how very dare you!!!!!

Pardon??

aha daft chapeau- what you fail to take into account is the fact that I am often so fond of the sound of my own voice that I forget to read the whole post correctly!! I was thinking exactly the same myself slob - the whole Freelander / MGF thing leaves me scratching my head somewhat - the K...

Said it before, the TD4 has more threads and more problems than the 1.8. Given that there are loads more 1.8s on the road than TD4s it looks like on average the TD4 has more going wrong, costs more in servicing, and is only superior if you want to tow something the size of a house. If DP only...

Hola Rory If you dont necessarily want to chip your motor but want better performance you may wish to consider one of Roverrons little boxes - full details here http://45zs.info/Products/product.htm

Let me know if you dont have any joy - I had a nightmare with the clutch on my 1971 Ford Taunus - turned out that the clutch cylinder needed rehoning - I found an outfit in Nuneaton that did it for me - funnily enough, when I pulled up in the Freelander they said that they assumed it was the...

Self baling mechanism???:D :D Sorry couldn't resist

Land Rover Assist ain't bad! :) :p :D

kit - if I started about my old Renault I would end up sounding like that mad hat chap fella - I decided to finance it with one of them FULL maintenance package jobs (like tyres and everything included) the chap at my local Renault dealer (almost proudly) informed me that I had spent more than...

hmmmm - i would be interested to know how you get on in 2wd - i guess this combined with Roverons box of tricks would make it a pretty quick Freelander. Just what kinda increase in mpg we talking here??? Also, I wonder what the implications insurance-wise are? If you were to disenage 4wd and...

yup my Scenic had one - probably one of the singularly most unreliable cars I have had the misfortune to own - it went through a gearbox every year (I gave up after 3!!) the engine seized at 18k miles (electronic dipstick /engine management lights / oil pressure guage were useless in that...

Ouch that has to hurt & you do have my sympathies honest! Well I am orf on me jollies for a week so play nicely and I will catch you when I get back - anybody want to nick me Freebifter (its the one with the decent engine Hat Chap!) then please feel free, its at Birmingham Airport &, by the...

nice avatar chapeau fou! you got one for a windbag? :D :p

what can I say? In and out within an hour - new brakes pads and no charge - they even offered me the use of one their empty desks so I could get on with some paperwork. Its booked in for a service (didnt realise it was at 12k miles:o ) & they letting me have a Range Rover Sport Demo for the...

mornin ming ya weirdo!!!!!!! :p

Brake warning light came on this morning - called Land Rover Assist and the very nice man confirmed that the front pads have worn unevenly - apparently brake pads would not normally be covered under warranty but they will cover them as the wear is uneven. Booked in at my local dealers for 4 this...

Sorry Mad Hat Chap I obviously didn't make myself clear in my original post. I wouldn't dream of saying that the car is beyond criticism - My comments refered to the constant & repetitive whinges about the same problems On the occasions that my limited knowlege has allowed, I have tried to...
