Hi Everyone. Looking for some advice. Been having on off oil burning smell in the car for the last few weeks on my 2010 FL2. Got to the point today where smell wasn't so bad but sort of acrid taste in my gob after driving somewhere an hour away. Windows down etc. I recently noticed an oil...

Just to let you all know. Finally fixed today. I was quoted £135 for a set of replacement hoses by LR main dealer. I opted to buy a new set (short one and the long one) of silicone hoses in blue for £65 + £2 per clamp (instead of jubilee clips which don't agree with silicone) from DPH sport...

Thanks tlo and GrumpyGel. Blodge, I had a look at the hoses and thanks to you for mentioning and you tube for showing me where it is, it looks 99% like a split intercooler hose. Its booked in for Friday. Hopefully that should fix it.

Thanks for the reply Blodge. Your comments are similar to some stuff on you tube I looked at also. There is an engine management light on now but didn't come on until a few days after it started. I don't have a code reader so its just the light to me. No whistling noises. I'll bring it in and...

Hi Everyone. Hoping for a bit of advice on a turbo (I think) problem on FL2 2010. 2.2 TD4 E GS manual. Noticed a couple of weeks ago that the car is stuttering at between 1500 and 2500 rpm when accelerating. If you put foot right down - grey smoke coming out. If you just ease through it (say...

Haha! Thanks myotherworld. Point taken. Recommend any?

Hi All. Had MOT test today. Passed after only needing a headlight clip as one was broken and the beam was misaligned. :) Brake hoses are rusty but no urgent fix required. I asked about the rear wheel n/s and uneven tyre wear and the mechanic reckoned they couldnt find anything untoward. It just...

Conti's on the front by the way!

Freelander 2004 td4 ES Hi Everyone. I'm new to this site - hoping I can get some good advice. I bought a 2004 td4 ES freelander in Sep 14. I test drove it and fell in love with it and bought it without giving it a really good check. It has 105K and almost a full SH. It came from Scotland and...
