ctek,

I've had a f2 for the past 7 yrs, changed the diff and the rear shocks, apart from that it has been brilliant, got 200k km on it. Haven't had to touch the brake pads and can't believe they still have plenty of meat on them. Rear diffs are definitely some thing to be aware of if it whines walk...

Translation - Please, can someone help me? I have a 2007 Land Rover Freelander 2, and I’m having a problem with the wipers. They only work at the highest speed; speeds 1 and 2 don’t work at all. I have checked everything: the relays are fine, the wiper motor has been replaced, and the wiper...

Just guessing, have you checked the earth strap point, electrical connections etc.

Do you have the possibility to read the codes on the OBD2 reader, this will tell you where to start looking. It could be as simple as a damaged hose or the DPF is blocked. With out a code reader you're going to be chasing your tail.

thanks this really helps,

how do I find the oem number for the dpf on my vehicle, 2011 sd4 have no idea where to start and I finding it difficult to get the right dpf over here in Sweden.

How much oil is it leaking, I have a sd4 2011 and there is a certain amount of oil that seeps into the intake side and get rerouted to get burnt up, as long as it isn't massive amounts I'd not worry about it but just keep an eye on it. Plus surely if it was the rings you'd be blowing blue...

nope, joined the LandRover Club one year and they had a meet in my local town. 8 cars turned up I think 2 were 500 km further north from me the others 250km south yep not too many land rovers up here. I see the occasional tourist vehicle fly past but they never wave :-(

Okay, limp mode has disappeared, jobs done were, replacing the front hose, the little pipe on the DPF replaced and whilst I was down there I tried to do a DPF clean, not to sure how effective that was ( the Utube video seemed to get it a lot cleaner than mine appeared to be.) the nuts were a pig...

okay got a reply from Gap, apparently my gap tool is a G2 which too old to do a forced regen which implies the new gap tools would be able to do it.

okay got a reply from Gap, apparently my gap tool is a G2 which too old to do a forced regen which implies the new gap tools would be able to do it. So for now I'll get the tube on and get on with sorting out the fault code (P0087-71 (50) mechanical failure -actuator is stuck ) been busy with...

too true, especially up here in the Swedish bush bush.

Much appreciated for the link, read somewhere that you have to contact Gap to get the update to enable a forced regen. I'll get an email off to gap over the weekend and post on here when I get the reply.
