I am continuing to have clutch problems after changing the complete clutch system and the housing in Feb 2016 ... The main pump (near the foot pedal) has been bled more than 6 times and eventually (2 months ago) the garage here changed the "plastic pump" to an original item, but this has not...

Wow Thanks for a speedy reply and very comprehensive. The 'slave cylinder' was changed at the same time as the clutch and the flywheel housing. The problems started occurring soon after. The 4x4 specialist is now saying that he has to go in and investigate (at a cost to me, naturally) However...

Hi guys Just a postscript on progress I ordered the pulley direct from an English firm.. Guaranteed original part for 65 pounds plus shipping (ouch ouch plus import tax another ouch) When it came I realised it was two second hand parts (inner and outer) with rubber replaced between them ...

Hi guys Well, it has been a year and I am still having problems getting my freelander td4 manual gearbox into gear. It has had a new clutch complete with bell housing. It has then had a new gearshift selector. Then it has had a new slave cylinder fitted below the clutch pedal...... When the...

Hi guys A genuine Thank you for being my first reference point for all things TD4. I have a 10 year old, manual gearbox TD4 with the BMW engine (LHD) This has now done 400,000 kms about 260,000 miles Recently the clutch seemed to be slipping and was engaging at the extreme top of the foot...

Thankyou Vertuas.... That fits the symptoms perfectly.... The local garage here in Tenerife wants the equivalent of 360 pounds, just for the part !!!! Needless to say that I have seen them for a lot less on the net. Can you direct me to a part number whether it be Landrover or BMW....I have...

The pulley seems to be intact. It has been replaced a few months back and at that time I had no steering assistance. I have no problems with the steering after the stall. Thanks for your input

I have an 8 year old freelander TD4 with the BMW engine and manual gearbox. I stalled the engine badly at 30 mph in a long curve due to a distraction and had to stop. (my fault....I know I know) I think something broke. When I started the engine... it sounded like the exhaust had come adrift...

My TD4 (Bmw engine) would not start the other day.... Had it towed to the local Agent (choice of one) In the first instance they diagnosed that the neg battery cable was at fault (€65) Then they took out my 'synergy' system that was confusing the diagnostic m/ce and now they tell me I need...

Thanks Chaser I forget to admit that I had just come from the Local dealer and paid €70 for a Test to see what faults were logged...... there were none.... and this had happened on the motorway 3 times over the previous 2 days ! His diagnostic machine went a bit ballistic when it found that I...

Greetings to everyone from Tenerife, but my TD4 does not like the heat !:doh: On a nasty bend and a steep incline my freelander would not go any further and ground to an abrupt halt...... blast. The clutch was down and the engine was ticking over nicely but a 'yellow' engine warning light...

Hi All Thanks guys for the input. I feel a little bit more at ease. My aircon has always been faulty and will get attention when the money is available. I was quoted €800 for a new compressor ! here in Tenerife. The red indicator light hardly shows when I turn on the aircon. But, if the...

Had my 2004 TD4 just about a year now and have slowly fixed most probs. New MAF with synergy 2, cleaned EGR, new BMW crancase vent. The fans to the Radiators have never (ever) come on and a its hot in August here in Tenerife. Sometimes the engine 'crackles' when I shut her down after a lot of...

Hi All Living on Tenerife I reguarly climb up to 2000 metres and above, but when I do The BMW 2.0 gets hot and loses all power such that I need to go down to second on an easy climb (that at sea level would be done in 5th!) It is accompanied by the smell of unburnt diesel. Is there an air...
