    Can a Freelander be reliable ????

    Nothing wrong with mine. All the work I've done has been the usual improvement stuff rather than a fix. Egr bypass, silicone hoses, crank case breather, the list goes on and on but it's all voluntary !!! I now expect to be starting a thread tomorrow called "There's a long con rod looking...

    Has Radweld just killed my engine ?

    The first 10 years of my working life (1980-90) were spent repairing, building and reconditioning every sort of automotive radiator you can imagine, and the aftermath of Radweld was a daily event. How this crap has managed to stay on shelves I have no idea. A trail of potential destruction...

    Fish tank find?

    Sub woofer didn't work when I got mine, fixed it by cleaning all the plug connections that had gone rotten due to swimming in all that water. Did that at the same time as I got the rear door speakers working again by cleaning all the plug connections that had gone rotten due to swimming in all...

    Fish tank find?

    Didn't help much about half an hour after posting this revelation when I decided to pressure wash the bloody thing with an open sunroof.......... :faint2:

    Fish tank find?

    That would be the carefully folded loo role that the door traps in place when it's shut!! It catches all the water on it's way down from the leak just above the top door hinge. Compartment has been bone dry ever since (use to be a constant of around 2 inches of water) and Preston sees a lot of...

    Fish tank find?

    I presume the plug you can see on the left is what you're looking at. It connects to a speaker in the sub woofer housing. Also note the dry compartment. It's the most dry example in Freelander history following my amazing modification................. :cool:

    The Mysterious Pop Up Fuel Filter !!!

    Not sure hanging down is much of an idea. New set of filters arrived this afternoon so I'll find somewhere to stash it when I've swapped it over!!

    Do you regret buying a Freelander?

    Bought mine (an 06 TD4) a couple of months ago and I love it. Didn't expect so many annoying niggles that come as standard though!! Just about worked my way through them and I await the next one with great eagerness..............

    The Mysterious Pop Up Fuel Filter !!!

    Yes thanks for that. I spent an hour looking at filter kits on Ebay and found "Turbo Vent Filter" on the list. Bit of further research on here and happy days. Well not really, off the the mother in laws now, but at least it'll test the EGR mod !!!!

    The Mysterious Pop Up Fuel Filter !!!

    Afternoon all. Was performing the famous EGR Mod today (with great success I hasten to add!), and as I was inserting the bolts I look up to see a fuel filter staring at me!! Obviously the hose on the inlet side has hardened and broken off, but I can't find anything to mate it up with. I've...

    Hello From Preston Lancs !!

    Hello all. Having bought an 06 TD4 about 2 months ago I've been stalking the forum on a regular basis and have found answers to many questions with the good old search box until today that is, so it's time to hit the Freelander Forum............. Ian.
