    Noise when changing gear

    Thanks zdomz They are on the list to check. I think the noise is coming from behind me but I know from past experience that the noise isn't always coming from where you think it is!!!! It's really annoying me now but shouldn't complain...... The car had lots of knocks etc when I got it and...

    Noise when changing gear

    No noise at all when turning It is a quite loud knock / tap mostly when changing from 1st to second and second to third. If I am extra smooth with the gear changes I can stop it happening. Just a bit confused as to why it isn't doing it as much since diff mounts changed Also doesn't seem...

    Noise when changing gear

    Mentioned this in what have you done to your Freelander today but thought I'd start a thread for it. I have a strange metallic knock or tap noise when changing gear. It seems to be on the drivers side and to the rear of the driving position... Replaced all 3 diff mounts which I thought had...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Jrnorway Will check that Kizzeh Knocks occur usually when changing gear...... Sounds like someone hitting floor of car with something metallic.... Funny but doesn't seem to do it as often since changing diff mounts. Seems to be coming from drivers side to the rear of driving position...

    Starts sometimes

    My previous freelander did this....... New ignition switch cured it....... Not the key bit itself but the switch behind the key hole....... If you know what I mean... Chris

    Suppliers / couriers!!!

    I've used this supplier many times and have never had an issue before.. Not sure what's gone wrong. Oh well...... Another week to put up with the clunking from the diff mounts!!! Chris

    Suppliers / couriers!!!

    The exhaust comes out of the underside of the front bumper on the passenger side (UK models) If it's working you will hear it!!!

    Whats it worth

    Not very helpful I'm afraid but it's worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it. I'm on my 4th freelander and haven't had trouble selling any of the previous 3 although the prices I achieved varied greatly. Depends on how quickly you need to shift it. My last one was a 1998 l series...

    Outrack

    To clarify...... Safety devices outrack..... It's the full length roof rack for a 5 door Freelander 1. Best looking roofrack for a freelander in my opinion. Google freelander outrack and you will see one. Last 2 I've seen on eBay I've missed by a couple of quid but ive been after one for...
