    Does anybody know this car? Previous owner?

    Hi mate, I reckon it looks a decent motor for the money, the auto's are really good I find with the td4 engine and I now only drive autos so know a thing or two when it comes to automatic cars. The coolant being low in pic is the only slight concern but you could always see if you can get a...

    Its because the previous two times I was on here there was a 3 or so year gap between stints with the landys so could never remember my old usernames or password lol!

    dont stress over unesscerary stuff!

    Hi folks, Having had 5 or 6 landy over the years I have found this forum to be very helpful over the years in my many username s and I am glad that I discovered it however what I will say is dont let any of the major issue posts or worries that people have affect your own ownership...

    Update on my Hippo.

    Hi folks, I just thought I would give you an update on how things are with my 2004 freelander td4 auto as some of you will remember that when I first bought it in January I had nothing but problem's with how it was running and faults that the dealership I bought it from should have fixed...

    creaking loose sound when turning right.

    Hi guys, Over the last 2 or 3 days I have noticed a creaking clunk type sound from front left side of motor but its only happening when I turn right, could it be a droplink or worn bush or something else? Thanks.

    Annoying issue with my head lights!

    Haha! I would not usually give a toss about other people's freelander lights just was strange as never used to condensate up its only been last 2-3 weeks. Gotta say that the headlights on freelander are up there as one of the best I have used and thats saying something considering its my 39th...

    Annoying issue with my head lights!

    I know its not a big deal really but seen a few hippos that dont seem to have this problem where as mine has started clouding up it must be something to do with the o rings.

    Annoying issue with my head lights!

    Evening folks, Just a quick one, I have got annoying issue with my head lights being that they seem to condensate up alot recently and although it is not a major issue it just looks crap and spoils the look of the car. Anyone else had this problem and is it easy to solve?

    timing chain on td4 engine.

    Hi guys, Is it easy to get the timing chain checked for slackness and general condition? Also what would be the general signs that it was needing replaced? I don't think I have any issues with mine its just a general querie that I have. My freelander td4 did a 300 mile round trip...

    engine rebuild

    Not being funny here but you could always buy a cheap runabout for £400-500 in worst case scenario if your engine did indeed fail but if I were you I would just keep using your freelander as you are and just keep it well serviced. I have a td4 on 106k miles and I have no worries about its long...

    inside grab handles.

    Thanks for info on how to do that mate, seems pretty easy. I took my freelander along to my friends car bodyshop repair unit and he reckons that it needs a lacquer over the actual paint with a matting agent mixed in will give grab handles proper long term protection and the proper finish. We...
