Thanks, will take a look at that.

Cheers, much appreciated

Thanks for the advice, will try changing the tank first , then go from there. Shall also check whether the calliper guide pins were replaced. Once those issues sorted will think about the aircon. :)

Hi thanks for the advice, dont think its a PG1 gearbox (2L diesel Td4) but will check

Yeah thanks.........:behindsofa:

Okay, after much debate with the Mrs, finally I get my way and get myself a Hippo. I have already done +11K miles in it and love driving it, happy days! However, not without its little problems and niggles. The trouble is she always voiced concerns about the reliability of a Landy, but I bought...

Just over three weeks later..... brakes are squeeling like crazy, intermittent noise from far side front (which think is caliper sticking) and air-con back to blowing warm air! :flame: So booked back into KF again Monday for whole day, so they can take the entire brake system apart. Driving me...

I have now come to the conclusion it's not the expansion tank. As although there are several hair line cracks none appear to actually go right through to the exterior of the tank. So further investigation with a torch I have noticed pink coolant down the far side of the...

Had my Td4 Sport a year now, in which time am losing coolant (cracks in expansion tank), ongoing issues with noisy front brakes (whilst driving, not just under braking). Otherwise pretty minor complaints so far such as dodgy door speakers, lack of aircon, squeaky clutch pedal, oh and I daren't...

Thanks much appreciated, shall give it a go then. Thanks for the advice! :)

Hi, am not much of a mechanic and a relative newbie to owning a Landy, but noticed my Freelander has been losing coolant. Not any major amount but seem to keep needing to top it up and having read up on here suggestion is that I should NOT ignore it and resolve it sooner rather than later. So...

Been back to KF (daren't say the word on here), they've cleaned and refitted them. Have heard a bit of noise so far but am going to wait and see if they settle. But on the plus side, had a bit of a moan and so managed to get a complimentary Air-Con Service out of them. So got lovely ice cool air...

Trouble is the front discs suddenly went earlier in the year when visiting family, was a Sunday and had to find anywhere that could sort them so could get back home after....... so had to use one of their branches in Sussex and they fitted new discs/pads. Therefore yesterday I got them...

Funny you should mention Kwik Fit....... :eek:

Thanks, nothing stuck so far as I know. But not checked rear yet, as assumed it was front discs. How easy is it to check the rear cylinders? The problem is not just squealing under breaking but also when cruising along the is an intermittent high pitched squeal sound that is almost like a...
