Well thats it, the end of an era for me. Handed the car back this afternoon in preparation for my move to Malaysia for the next few years. Just wanted to say thanks for all the help and advice over the last four years, its been fun. And I just want to tell all that the four years have been...

Selling due to leaving the country and handing the car back Synergy 2 and EGR Bypass. I'm including the Dash mounted switch but unfortunately it snapped while I was trying to pull it back through the bulkhead. Synergy2 will work fine without it or a nifty but of souldering should solve...

Chaps, Did a search and couldnt find anything so here goes. My aircon is starting to smell like a wet dog for a few minutes every time I start the car. I guess this is down to mould growth. I have looked around and there seems to be cans of spray that can disinfect/ deodorise but from...

Hi guys. Is it an 11mm or 7/16 spanner for the bleed nipples on the brakes? I could use a 7/16 socket on the front bleed nipples but couldnt get a socket onto the rear bleed nipple and couldnt find either an 11mm or 7/16 spanner to release the rear bleed nipple and the nipple is too close...

Hello again guys. I tried last night to remove the centre console from my 04 Freelander Auto and came a bit stuck. Did a search on here and couldnt find anything about removal of the console on the facelift model. I was able to find all the hidden screws and got the console loose but I was...

Just bought some replacement disks and pads for my 04 TD4. The pads are by Mintex which I think are a decent brand. Discs are drilled and slotted, they look quite sexy (if a brake disk could ever be considered 'sexy') But looking at the pads, they are not chamfered on the leading edge of the...

Any ideas how to find a water leak in the cooling system. I noticed that the water level on the expansion tank is going down requiring quite a lot to top up (about half a litre in 2 months). At first I thought it was just normal loss because I have had the car for about 3 years and had not...

Any ideas why I would keep having to replace the brake bulb on myo FL TD4 facelift but the near side only? No problem with the brake lights on the off side though. Andy

Its been a while since a couple of guys fitted HID Kits to their Freelanders. Any feedback? Problems, reliability etc. Also as I remember the HID kits replaced the normal dipped beam, what about the main beam, is that not overshadowed (pun intended) by the brighter dipped beam. Any info...

Went through some deep water. Nuff Said.

Hi Guys, Done a search because I know its been addressed earlier but cant seem to find anything. Anybody got a name, address, website for a company that produces sill covers/ protectionfor the freelander sills. Took the car off road and the sills took a bit of a bashing I'm thinking that I...

Two weeks ago I was cleaning and re-oiling my air filter on my TD4 Frelander. I noticed the half round rubber hose connecting to the EGR Valve, some of plastic air pipework and the big rubber hose with the alloy valve/ sensor thing mid way, both along the front of the engine (sorry, probably...

A have a couple of problems with the Becker Sat Nav System and Head Unit and was wondering if anybody had any ideas. Firstly, the Sat Nav seems to have stopped finding any satellites. It first started earlier this week, I set a destination and it started giving directions but not from where I...

Oops, I mean TANK, anyway, Hey guys, now dont take the micky out of me too much but I just put £11 worth of petrol into the TD4 before I realised and stopped the pump. The car already had 1/4 tank of diesel in it when I put the petrol in (I have been using a std petrol car for the...

The shocks on my TD4 have suddenly started to squeek. Most noticable when going over speed ramps etc but its pretty much whenever the car is moved around. Any quick easy fix? Andy

I took the Freelander off road yesterday on an organised event with Bofa4x4.com round Cannock. A good day was had by myself and the family and the car got up, down and over most things, even with road tyres. Anybody interested in a event report with pictures including the two times I had to be...

Had the MAF out earlier this week because I didnt feel I was getting the performance out of my TD4 that i used to get. And based on the general concensus here that the MAFs are only good for about 30,000 miles I decided to have a look at the state of mine at about 29,000. Anyway, as I said...

Hi guys, A little advice needed. I have a 28,000 mile 2004 Freelander TD4 and recently I feel it has lost some of the power it had when I bought it this time last year. There does seem to be some lag before the turbo kicks in resulting in one or two heart stopping moments at junctions...

Hi Guys, Does anybody know if there is an Audio In on the Stereo on my 2004 HSE Freelander. Not sure what the make of the stereo is but its the one with the GPS system. Trying to attach my MP3 phone to the car so I can have lots of additional music. If not, can anybody think of other...

Hello all. Im a little confused and perhaps somebody may be able to help me. I have the Harmon Kardon Audio system fitted to my HSE 2004 Freelander. It has the 8 speakers in the car and I have found the 9th speaker in the boot floor but this is where Im a bit confused. That Sub is firing...
