Thanks so much. While I wait for the part, can I use some Billy Mays leak stopping tape to plug it, or will that pull something into the turbo and kill my engine?

Thanks a lot. Any particular elbow to recommend?

I think I found the problem. ANy advice on replacing it? And could anyone confirm that that is probably the culprit? Thanks a lot

Hi all, So, I just started getting a whooshing sound when I get above 2k rpm. From.what I've read elsewhere here, it's probably a split hose from the turbo. I'd really appreciate any advice on what to look for to confirm, and how to replace that hose. (And if there's anything else I should...

Thanks for the reply. To clarify, we had the front tyres and brake pads replaced again, because they were totally worn, so the squealing brakes are new (like 2 weeks old) And yes, mea culpa, I should have noticed, but as I said it was much worse on the inside, where it's less visible, and as...

Just an update and appeal for any more advice. I took it to a different mechanic. He checked the calipers and said they weren't seized and he couldn't see any other issues with the brakes or wheels. (Except the back where the rear drums are totally useless and rusted, so gotta have them...

Thanks so much for the input. I wasn't aware that all 4 tyres needed replacing at the same time, even if it's no longer 4wd, so thanks for enlightening me I'm glad I'm not.crazy and that the wear isn't normal! For the other issues you guys mentioned, is there a way I can check them myself...

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice or insights into a recurring issue with my 2006 Land Rover Freelander TD4 (5-door). The car has approximately 182,000 miles on it and has been converted to front-wheel drive due to the common driveshaft issue with Freelanders. Background: In June...

Ok, so it seems like I got to the bottom of it. Seems like the wire providing the power to one of the injectors is a bit dodgy. It's connected, but if you press on the wire a little, it can fix it, and can also reproduce the issue. Is it a big job to replace that wire? Thanks for all your help

Yes, the filler is metal and runs down the arch. I just went to try and start it and it actually started, and other than a bit of roughness for a few seconds, was running fine. However, I didn't rescrew the cover and it sprayed oil everywhere through the hole on the driverside (where one of...

I didn't think of that reall. I assumed since they've got 150k on them, once one went, it's not unexpected that the others woudln't be far behind. You mean to check if there's some way that rain or water from a car wash etc is getting into the tank?

At the moment it won't start, because one cylinder basically isn't firing (got some easy strt on the way) and when it was running, it's full bucking bronco style that's hard to drive. this was the same with the other two

Thanks for the reply. I had 2 replaced, one last year, one last month. I can order the other 2. DO you think, in the meantime, cleaning will let me drive it a bit, as I need to do something time sensitive before the replacements will get her

Hi everyone, in my facelift freelander 1 td4 HSE, one of the injectors went last year, while I was in the middle of nowhere. I had to sleep in the car overnight, then get a tow to the garage reasonably close to home and got the injector replaced. because of the cost and the ballache, I didn't...

Those are exactly the ones I mean. Thanks for the information
