Hi guys, My Freelander 1 (facelift '04) has developed a loud and annoying rattle from the tailgate / rear door. It's actually the rear window, constantly wobbling and rattling, even though is shut and seated correctly at the top. My pet mechanic says it needs a new seal, and that LR don't...

Certainly wasn’t expecting to replace for £500. Just that higher amount might be better invested in going towards the budget for a fresher vehicle. @weemac Id appreciate an update after the weekend how yours goes.

Thanks for the responses guys. Zero towing done on this clutch. And 95% driver only, no cargo. Country lanes rather than motorway miles. I’ve experienced a contaminated clutch before, hence the stall test (original wouldn’t stall even in 5th when it failed). So fairly certain not that and no...

Ey up gang, Bit of advice, yet again, please. For the past 5 months, the clutch on my FL1 TD4 ('04 Sport Premium) seems to be slipping intermittently. Typically in 4th, if I try to accelerate hard, at about 2,500 rpm the engine revs will surge rapidly, sometimes up to 3k, then drop back down...

Ey up smashing people, Lemme get this out of the way - I'm not looking for parts/advice on upgrading an original FL front end to the facelift model. I already have one ('04 FL 'Sport'). So it's just come back from MoT with one of those new minor faults, moaning about the deterioration of...

@Nodge68 - Cheers for that! Ordered an AWR4116 off Amazon. Photo attached, the AWR is clearly different to the Trico, shorter on the right hand side by nearly an inch. This was the bit which was sitting on the screen seal. Fitted - no issues. Operated - no clicks! Totally silent. One...

Ey up, Replaced my rear wiper blade last year and almost immediately the rear wiper began to click as it set off. Lived with it. The blade rubber failed after only 15 months. Just replaced again (same shop) and still clicks. Sounds like it's coming from the blade mount itself, not the...

Ey up, Firstly thanks for all your info and pointers. An update: Turbo control vacuum pipe found to have rubbed on gearbox. Damaged section cut away, and pipe re-seated. Fuel rail pressure sensor and wiring inspected. Slight corrosion found on contacts. Everything else checked out ok...

Thanks all so far. Update: The errors codes read by the gizmo relate to the fuel pressure sensor. Homing in ....

Ey up gang, First of all, apologies if this is boring repetition to some of you. I have had a good read through other threads and nothing exactly matches my problem so I'm resorting to posting a fresh thread. Okay so my beloved Freelander 2004 TD4, just turned 150k. And 3 problems have all...

Hi all. New poster but lurker for a while. Need advice to nail something. My 'Landy' ('04 Freelander Sport TD4) does an odd thing intermittently. And it's almost repeatable. Usually, if I'm trundling, I'll notice grey (not black/white) smoke wisping from the exhaust. If I continue to...
