Great, thanks for the advice and experience I'll have a look at changing the O-ring if not then maybe a mod like Arctics done.

That is an option however the connector at the intake end of the hose isn't sealing the best and so I would like to replace it to stop the recirculated oil seeping out.

Hi all, Bit of a question moulded into a moan; I've been looking at getting a new breather hose that goes from the PCV to the air intake on my 2012 Freelander 2. Are they really £120+ it's literally a ~400mm long hose with 2 connectors on it? Basically I will not be paying that for a new hose...

If it did I didn't spot it. Only realised on my 4th read of the Haynes manual 🤦🏻‍♂️

Solved: Turns out you NEED to tension the tensioner anti-clockwise and NOT clockwise as I was doing. Tightening it clockwise puts the wrong strain on the tensioner and causes it to flex outwards, which in turn causes the belt to wonder of the cam pulley. Glad I spotted it and spent time trying...

Hi all, Did the timing belt on my Freelander 2 with the 2.2 TD4 engine in the other day. Went pretty well to start with, removed the starter, locked in the timing, removed the old belt and fitted the new one (with new water pump, tensioner and idler). All seemed to be going well until I was...

@Freddie17 I'm looking more for the cage rather than being flat. All the ones I've seen on google are flat. Wondered if anyone had any examples of a caged type on an FL2. Cheers.

Hi All, I'm looking to get a roof cage for my FL2 but I can't find any good images or links to get one. Has anyone fitted a roof cage before and have you got any links to good ones or pictures of what it looks like? Like the below. Thanks.

Haha yeah probably not going to be laning any time soon. I love the idea but I think fielding might be my sort of off-roading, less to hit. I was contemplating buying a very cheap FL2 and going laning so we'll see how things go with this one.

Thanks for the info, I'll get over to the Freelander section. Ah yes location might help narrow it down! I'm in Hastings in the South East.

Hi all, Just bought my first Landrover and after loads of research went with a Freelander 2 SD4 2012. Very happy with it so far and looking forward to many happy miles driving it! I've got a health check on the car on Friday so fingers crossed that comes back okay. I'm an engineer by trade...
