here is a picture of the offending items. I have pointed the way forwards! Sorry about the quality but its good enough to see the details. Make sure the vcu bearings are set square to the axis of the propshaft before tightening bolts. good luck!:) happyhippo

As to why would you buy an L-series the answer to that my friend, is that there was no such thing as a TD4 in March 2000, when I bought it. Its the second L-series freelander I've owned making a total of 150k trouble free miles covered. Its needed some preventative maintenance but never let me...

Hello, just thought that I would share with you the problems of obtaining and fitting a new rad to my L-series. There are many sites advertising new rads for next day delivery on the web but when you check, the prices are different. I ordered one which took a week to arrive and was the wrong...

:blabla: I have recently reverted to 4x4 after about 3k miles in 4x2 drive while I was renewing VCU bearings. I have to say that I did not notice any difference in fuel consumption. (I take the average for every tank fill) I can say that she drives much better in 4x4 and the gearchange is...

IIRC there was a technical bulletin and recall about this and it was to do with the position of the inlet pipe on the air box. The noise is I assume resonance of the air column in the inlet tract. I have an 2000my XeDi and remember reading this. If I find it I will post the info on here.

yep! I had the same problem only the plastic tip blocked the dip stick tube and I couldn't replace the dip stick. Had to strip out and clear the tube, a right waste of time! If you have a plastic blob on the end of your dip-stick, I would break it off or file it off before the same thing happens...

hello, can anybody tell me how many L series engined freelanders were made? I guess that would be from 1997-2000my. Mine is still going after 102k miles with no major problems...yet. If LR had stuck to this engine and maybe tweaked it a bit they would have had far fewer problems!

Hi Freefall I had exactly this problem. I have an L-series diesel engine and the plastic button fell off and jammed in the dipstick tube. I couldn't plug in dipstick and in the end had to remove the tube. Can't remember what has to be stripped off first but it is an easy job. Tube just pulls...
