More words of Wisdom from the ORACLE!!!! Thank you Nodge 68 you really have changed my opinion on this matter and No I will not be considering buying that particular FL2 . I will wait and save some more of my pocket money and buy a better one. Cheers to all that replied.

Hi Artic 2, I agree mate. I reckon I should keep my old motor at least nearly everything works on it. I"ve had my Freelander for over 6 years and it was cheap, and I mean cheap but touch wood it has never really let me down and only a month ago we did a 500 mile round trip with no problem at all...

I"m still looking for a replacement for my 2003 Serengeti and on Autotrader there is a 2009 Freelander 2 for sale at £2950. It"s advertised as a 2009 Freelander 2.2 TD4 HSE Automatic Euro with Switchable 4x4. It also states it needs a new Cam Belt? My questions are; Is the 2009 Freelander 2 a...

Hi All and a Happy New Year. Now I know a lot has been said about this subject but please bare with me. I own a very nice 2003 Serengeti TD4 Automatic but I want a newer Facelift model instead and I have a chance to buy a 2007 HSE TD4 with just 130K on the clock which is also in very good...

Hi Nodge, The answer is I haven"t got a clue. I"ve owned the car for the past 6 years and when I bought it I got my local garage to do a top up but I had doubts as to whether it was done properly, but just doubts. Anyway I will get a partial change done but at my age and the fact that I would...

Thanks for the info Andy. Bought one late yesterday on ebay for £90.00 delivered but God knows what it"ll be like. After reading the threads on this site I never realised how common this fault is. Keeping my fingers crossed it will be ok. What with the dodgy Autobox and now this and after owning...

ANOTHER LESSON LEARNED TODAY!!! Went to open the Frozen rear Tailgate door on my 2003 Freelander, poured Hot Water over the window and Lock and after a few seconds pulled up the opening handle and tugged the door handle which came away in my hand thankfully not damaging the cable etc. So now I...

Hi Andy, You"ve lost me! Where would I find the Connector and the Fuel Rail? Thanks to the both of you.

2003 FREELANDER SERENGETI TD4 AUTOMATIC. 151k miles. Hi All, Started the CAR this morning, blooming freezing Cold DROVE FOR A COUPLE OF HUNDRED YARDS AND Then the amber Engine Malfunction WARNING LIGHT came on then stayed on for a couple of seconds and then went off. It did this on and off for...

Hi all. thanks for the replies. My local 4x4 Specialists in Land Rover contacted me and gave me a price of £150.00 +VAT to FLUSH GEAR BOX AND REFILL and it will take them a couple of hours. So what the hell do I do. Yes Nodge68 if I thought the car was worth it I would have a recon TRANSMISSION...

Thanks for the replies. Right lets get started. We recently covered a 200 mile trip which included lots and lots of hills with many many gear changes and after approx 100 miles the Auto Box was beginning to get lumpy when changing, not the normal smooth changes. I"ve had this same experience a...

Hi all, Quite disappointed with no replies from my previous Thread so I"m trying again. Bell Engineering have advised me to have the Automatic gearbox on my 2003 Freelander Serengeti 5 door Automatc Flushed out and Refilled. Has anyone had this done because my local Landrover Specialist has told...

Hi, Having a problem with the Autobox on my 2003 Freelander so contacted Bell Engineering who advised me to have the Box Flushed out and Then refilled. Does anyone know anyone in the Bournemouth/Southampton area who can do this because my local Land Rover Specialist tells me it can only be done...

Thanks for that mate but I"m really going to have to pay someone to come and help me.

Hi, Can anyone out there advise or help this old gezzer put the two seater part of the Rear seat back in my 2003 Serengeti 5 door. I took it out to replace it with a leather set but the sale fell through so now I am struggling to put them back in. The single part went in ok but the two seat part...

Hi all, I"m having serious trouble refirring the back seats of my 2003 Freelander Serengeti 5 door. I took them out to collect a large item but now I"m having a problem fitting the double seat. I can get it quite close but not close enough. Is there a specific way to Refit them. Do I hook them...

Hi Jayridium, Yeah I will have a try but it will have to be next week. I"ll let you know

A few weeks ago I took out the rear seats of my Freelander mk1 to collect some furniture and by heck I"m getting a lot better MPG, but next month I have my yearly stress when she goes in for her MOT. My question is, Do I have to replace the Seats for the MOT? I don"t need them in the car. Any...

Cheers Artic2. Are you feeling the cold today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the good vibes shown by my thread I have now decided to keep my 2003 Freelander TD4 Automatic Serengeti and as such will be booking her in for a full service including the JATCO Auto Box. So what do you recommend?. Should I get the garage to drain all the Transmission fluid and then...
