    03 freelander only starts when cold or when it feels like it?? help

    Could be the cam sensor....try using some freeze spray on it. For srs light check the connectors beneath the drivers seat and or have a look at the 3 amigos thread. Next go to the introduce yourself section and say hi.......you'll find the rest of the members a lot more willing to help when you...

    Secondhand diff!!!

    It would definitely be 2 wheel drive when the wheels fall off.

    Secondhand diff!!!

    You could drop the diff and then split the driveshafts just leaving the outer cv's in place??....or just remove the guts from the diff.

    So i think i need a td4 new fuel pump - but before i get one...

    Yep genuine ones are approx £120 to£130. You can buy cheaper ones but they don't last and are quite noisy in comparison.

    Alternatives to land rover tools

    You'll be fine......there's not that much play when you tighten everything back up. For the drive shafts I find a piece of wood and a hammer removes them quite easily.

    What setting have you got your synergy on? When set to max they do tend to give back smoke on acceleration.....just knock it back a setting.

    IRD remouval

    It can be done without removing the ird. If you use the search function there's a step by step guide for it.

    TD4 drive shaft wobble

    Can't tell you about the gear box but if they are like the carrier bearings on the rear diff then you should be able to pull them out with the gearbox left in place.

    wheel bearings

    You have used a punch or driver to unstake the lip of the nut where it is locked into place on the driveshaft?.......just checking.

    Possible gearbox problem

    Bigger ....didn't read it properly....mine was losing gearbox oil due to damaging the seal not clutch fluid. What make of slave did they fit?......could it be that the quick fit connector isn't fully home?
  15. mjrimmer

    Possible gearbox problem

    It'll be the tube that the slave sits over that covers the gearbox input shaft.....they will have damaged the end seal and or the o ring at the bottom...........exactly what happened to mine.....I got them to take it back out and do it properly.

    loud banging underneath freelander

    So..........as you were told nearly 2 weeks ago don't drive it until you have removed props and vcu, change fluids and check the breather on the diff else you'll be looking at a bill of 1 to 2k to get it put right. Driving in mondo mode (2wd) until you have the funds is fine........some people...

    td4 irratic idle/black smoke

    Personally I think do the leak back test first then pump and filter also check the plug and contacts are clean on the fuel rail pressure sensor.........if you have a synergy tuning box turn it off to see if this makes a difference.
