Have a similar problem with a squeeky knock, most noticable when crossing a speed bump. I get a double noise, first when front wheels mount the bump, then when the rears pass over it. Have replaced wishbones and ball joints, as rubbers were torn anyway, wishbone bushes, drop links and arb D...

Plastic fuel pipes can be joined with plastic "push fit" connectors, available as straight, 90 deg bend and T pieces. We use then a lot on HGV and trailer air and fluid systems. Your local truck dealership will have them or any pneumatics outlet such as Thorites. Hope this helps, worked ok for...

Mine had 158k on when sold last year, a 300tdi auto 94 reg. Still out there somewhere L295PUB??

If it is the motor or a broken cable, Land Rover Parts Shop are doing "Allmakes" complete units cheap at the moment. Just done my N/S rear, £44. Hardly worth the hassle of an ebay cable kit. Grease the new ones cables well though!

If it is the regulator motor or cable, then Land Rover Parts Shop are doing a good deal on replacement complete units. I've just ordered one for the rear N/S, £44 + vat. Hardly worth the trouble of an ebay cable kit or s/h unit at that price. Will be making sure the cables are well greased when...

I had my ERG valve off a couple of weeks ago for a look. Was amazed at the amount of gunk and carbon soot stuck over everything. Not having time to do a complete strip of the inlet manifold etc or a bypass kit to hand I just gave everything as best a clean out as possible, with rags soaked in...

I had a 300Tdi Disco for 6 years, great ol bus, but it did need regular attention like the BF, or it would show it's displeasure. Now the Freelander has so far proved to be much more tolerant, lol

Walk away!!!!!!!! The V6 is a thirsty ol brute anyway. Find a decent TD4 which hasn't been thrashed and abused, far better car.

Guess what, my new one is coming with the suspension bits as per drop links post. Freelanders, dont yer just love em!

Doing mine shortly. And the wishbones, bushes.............. Crack, hmmmm........now the n/s rear door window wont go down! Och weell, the wee dog 'll have to stick his head out of the drivers side one for a while.

Mistaking the band lock bolt for the level plug. Idiot, I know! Especially as I had read the bulletin, and knew that it was a common mistake! Ah well, we live and learn. There have been 3 identical incidents of doing a similar thing by mechanics at the HGV garage I work, with a particular...

Shame you weren't around when I had my mishap James, back in Oct 2010. At the time I had 3 options. Local LR dealer £2600, well enough said, local well known LR independant, who were willing to remove box, take it to auto specialist, then re-fit, 3 days without car, £1600 or the same auto...

I cocked up my reverse by undoing the wrong bolt, realized this just as I heard a slight sliding noise from within. This was the brake band dropping. A local auto gearbox specialist sorted it out, not cheap £800....... He said at the time, 8 months ago, that they had sorted out a quite a few of...

Just seen that Land Rover Parts Shop have complete regulator units in at £50. Have just ordered a load of service items and front suspension bits from them, so we'll see what the quality is like on those first.

Bell vcus are not "loose", but a cetain supplier in Halifax does a "loose" one which do not give any rear wheel drive. Pre 2001 cars have different gearing to the rear wheels. It is imperative that the tyres on the rear have at least equal if not a larger rolling circumference than the front to...

I am about to buy a repair kit for my rear n/s door, so this thread is just in time. The Oksam one was the one I thought looked best too.

I suspected my vcu was tired after driving my mates identical spec and age car but with only 50k on the clock. A post 2001 car should exhibit almost no braking effect in reverse full lock situations imho. With a Bell Engineering recon vcu now fitted for 6 months, only the very slightest effects...

Had 6 years great service from my Disco 300TDi auto, didnt need a 7 seater bus any more, so got a TD4 auto Freelander, 02 plate. Great in the snow, and we do get proper snow here in the Peak District. They have their erm idiosyncrasies, but so did the Disco! Just check all the known problem...

Has this problem suddenly happened? Have you just bought it and it's come with this problem? If it was fine but all of a sudden developed this fault, check the rear brakes for binding, worse in reverse. If its got worse over a good few hundred miles or so, still do the brake checks. If brakes...

I've just had one of mine in pieces, couldn't see any broken pins. Do you have to delve into the motor itself? Since putting it all back on it seems to be ok now, but other than taking it off, removing the motor, without opening it and putting it all back on I've done no repairing/ bodge!
