Finally managed to change the hose after delays caused by Royal Mail deciding that the part I ordered should go to Leeds Mailing Centre for local delivery - bit of a long shot given I'm in West Cornwall...... Anyhoo part arrived late Thursday afternoon so the hose replacement was 1st thing on...

Think this might have something to do with it…

No didn’t remove any pipes - just felt around the junction to see if obviously loose. Will recheck and give the MAP sensor a clean. Thanks everyone - hopefully will get this issue sorted 👍

Message came on again while on our way to Helston. When we got back pot the reader on and got this code. Will check the boost hose as well thanks Nodge68

Had a good look around the pipes - nothing obviously loose. Just plugged an OBD11 reader in - no codes found…. Also the engine system check is not showing the message anymore. Don’t you just hate intermittent faults

Going to have a check today 👍

Interestingly the message disappeared after leaving the car for a couple of hours. Started up, no message, drove 8 miles all good, then when accelerating hard up hill there was a sort of 'hesitation' and the message reappeared and stayed for the rest of the journey (8 miles). Yes we will run a...

Changed the oil and filter yesterday FL2 SD4 HSE (OMG what a pfaff getting to the filter) so today have the Reduced Engine Performance message…. I didn’t take out the section of pipe by the filter, just pushed it out of the way to manoeuvre the filter in/out, so how probable is the message to...

😱

Thanks 👍 We have a sunroof - even with that tilted open there isn't much alleviation of the buffeting. No opening window on the tailgate - and I'm not going to use a hammer...🤣

Thanks for the replies. We've had large cars/double cab trucks for years. This is the 1st time we've experienced such a noticeable buffeting, especially at relatively low speeds (30mph+). Our Defender does it at 50mph+. Yes it is somewhat alleviated by opening an opposite window as I noted in...

Afternoon Our 2011 Freelander HSE SD4 has the most appalling wind buffeting/interior 'cabin' pressure problem when only 1 window is opened. Our elderly dog has taken to wanting to have his head out of the window at all times when travelling in the car. In our Defender this is not an issue (just...

Thank you for the clarification re the wading plug. Botheration re the seal - sods law given that we've just had the clutch done so if we'd checked earlier we could've had it done at the same time. Have to check down the back of the sofa for some loose change 😱

Ok - after the thrills of getting the plug out, and new gear box oil in, it appears that the oil is escaping from a hole at the bottom of the bell housing 😟. That would answer the mystery of where the oil has gone. 2 questions: the oil is dripping out of a threaded hole at the middle bottom of...

Yes - managed to persuade the torque bit in place, then gently applied the undo pressure - held our breath! OH has welded it in place 👍

Woo hoo!!!!

Thanks for that - not sure we are brave enough for the aggro..... Fingers crossed we can get a Torx bolt banged in to do the trick. I have a replacement plug coming. If all else fails we are going to tip landy sideways so we can get some in via the drain plug

Yes this is what I was wondering - I took the covering off the small gear selector (diff lock engagement/low high gear) but couldn’t tell if there was a direct route to the main gear box. This would certainly be the simplest

Indeed 😢

Thanks - will give that a shot. Annoying thing is we had the clutch replaced 2 weeks ago….
