I have just bought a Gates thermostat to fit and now I am wondering if it’s worth doing? My TD4 stays low temperature but tbh it has never really bothered me that much, just thought it might be a good idea…?

Changed the air filter as had one I bought earlier. Cleaned up the engine a bit, cleaned the injector and hpfr sensor and sealed them with dielectric grease. Seems to keep it happy

It looks in the pictures like he has unscrewed the bit from the engine. So cut the clip off and leave the plastic bit in place? Ta

I have just come across this thread and I have been meaning to sort out the thermostat for ages so will put the in line one in. Am I correct in thinking the engine end of the top hose is connected with the plastic threaded thing that is in the previous photos? And presumably just unscrews from...

It was breathtaking. And after I paid on the gov.robbing.ba****ds web site they asked for feedback. That’s like a mugger asking you if you enjoyed the experience

My TD4 which has been standing still for 2 and a half years went through the MOT today and passed with one advisory to change the brake pedal rubber! All I have done to it is buy a new battery and put 2 gallons of fresh diesel in it. Oh and changed the oil and filter. Drives beautifully. I was...

Mine is going for it’s first MOT for about 3 years on Friday so I am going to see what needs doing before I do anything else. It’s been off the road for 2 and a half years so I have done what was obvious but who knows what problems it will develop this week while waiting…

I expect you are right. It doesn’t seem right to have a 2wd 4wd but I have taken mine off as I have got to do the bearings and I may as well do the UJ’s at the same time. If the car decides to behave itself and work for a while with nothing else falling off or going wrong I will put it back on...

Leave it off and see how you get on. If it’s ok why bother? It’s a pain in the bum to put on.

Has anyone seen these ‘Freelander body glass guards covers show protection upgrade’ from Lamberts Engineering on EBay or put them on their car? I was wondering what they were like as the price seems high for bits of acrylic. I think this is the link...

I dented it by dropping my motorcycle on the car. First time I have damaged 2 of my own vehicles at once. That’s how I roll

Oh ye of little faith. Unless you are referring to the upcoming fuel cradle surgery in which case you may be correct. Here’s a photo anyway

Bought a new battery. Put it in. Started absolutely straight away. First turn of the key. Everything works. What can I say….???

Gonna give it a go on Sunday I reckon. Gotta do the fuel cradle too but may see if there’s any life in the car before waving spanners at it.

Yes I left the handbrake off. It’s been covered up and seems like it hasn’t suffered too much. I am thinking the battery in it will be useless now so have to get a new one?

Ok thanks. I am hoping it will not give me too hard a time getting it going

Hi all! My TD4 Freelander 1 has been standing for 2 years. I need a new battery but what else will I need to do to start it? It was running fine when I wrapped it up and er had to go away.

Hi, it is with a heavy heart that I am having to sell my 2006 silver 3 door sports TD4. It has done 157,000 miles and been religiously maintained since I have bought it in 2015. MOT until December 2021, new clutch 2 years ago at 144000 miles, 2 new tyres, MuddyMods slim line exhaust, front metal...

Try cleaning electrical connection on end of high pressure fuel rail under the left hand side of manifold (sitting in the car) It’s a plastic clip with about 4 wires and is hard to get to, you have to pinch the clip then pull it off the sensor. Then clean it out with cotton buds or kitchen roll...
