Have to agree, i bought a 19J 1989 (as research said it had the redesigned case) but im a noob to LR's and the thought of electronics and engine mangement scare me! She is a first time project so i can learn my way round an engine - ive learnt alot in only 3 months! I may upgrade to a 200/300...

Tried ebay, not sure which i should be looking at or buying!! links appreciated!!!

Any suggestions on where to get a catch can from? ive flushed matrix and tried pushing clip all way across (which it already was) No joy. Now my battery light is constantly on with low voltage showing even though ive put a brand new battery on. im thinking new matrix and alternator...

Your very dodgy garage man by the sounds of it, im a having a few problems with my new 19j now, hope it does not work out the same way!! Hope you have got sorted now.

Thanks for the replys, ive done a few searches but not found that much, is the search on here a bit to be desired? Key words other than 19j heater matrix pls.;-)

Thanks Sean, any input on the rest of the problem? Are you saying it would be better to divert to a catch can then let it be as designed?

Hi Guys If you remember me then you will know I aquired a 89 19J a couple of months ago. Ive got a couple of problems which as a complete noob, with a willing to learn, have been researching. Pls, any reference to fit a 200 or 300 can be disregarded as i def do not have the funds. Here we...

For anyone else searching, sorry jimmyd, not been on site for a while (2 years!) test your drive shafts for the wobble, solved mine, and also spark cables for the engine problem. Freelander runs like a dream these days - after having Head Gaskett done, drive shaft, probshaft balancing, VCU...

Cheers khaos, i did notice that if I put it into 1st and high and just moved a couple of inch then tried to reingage it seem alot easier, is that normal? just one of those LR tricks you need to learn?

I drove my 19J all the way back from Hull to lancashire at a constant 60+ no probs, it loved it! As for the noise, erm, what? Sorry it was a week ago and my ears are still pouring blood! It wasn't that bad TBH, but a def noise over the engine, think it may be the off road tyres as Ive now had...

Thanks for the advice, just given her a service today, usual oil air and fuel filters, Ive checked the UJs seem fine. Im thinking it may be off road tyres as not use to having them, got wranglers AT on Freelander. After work tomorrow will get the jacks out and give the tyres a wobble!

Now thats just rude! It holds its own for what it is, and i bet a can make to the top of a hill better than an X3/5 who claim to be offroads? Anyhow pls dont let this become yet anoher Freelander argument, i need some help with my LR90!?

Cheeky - I was already in the owrld of real Lr's!!! a Freelander is a dam good car!!! (waits for the rotten veg to hit him).....lol, must admit FL has been great and ive actually kept up with a 110 on an off road track with her. Just. Anyhow, I suspect the wheel bearing, as you know theres...

Hi Guys, I'm the owner of a Freelander (no stick please - I love it) but i have recently bought a LR90 1989 2.5TD 19J. Its a County with some good offorad tyres and the chassis seems mint, doors and sills all ok and overall in good nick with lots of service history on 138K. Love it to bits...

Id say so. Around town smell lingers, mw miles blows under - have you checked levels? (should check weekly). Might just be coolant header crack - common fault, if your lucky. Need mine doing!!

Just a quick thought, could a bad vcu, which in turn has buggered my IRD cause the trasmission to slip or fight itself causing the hold back on accelaration? Would this cause engine man light to flash on or does it only come on if there is a prob with engine itself? Hmm. Oh and would it be an...

lol, need to get it to a garage asap, just got back fro holiday in it.....had to pull over several times on steep hills as engine was losing power (almost like missing - but not actually missing), mainly on climbing hills. Then on the way down as soon as i hit 60 it was wobble wobble wobble. Its...

Thanks, tried once already, worth trying a few times before exploring other avenues?? Just in case anyone was wondering about my shaking landy....it back with vengence......even after prop shaft done. Back to drawing board...hey hey. Def coming from somewhere in transmission though. Sharpe

Hi guys, Similar prob just started with mine. Engine Man light comes on intermitent, however just started more frequently. Car drives fine most of the time but when on motorway or pulling away a bit quicker sometimes loss of power and car shakes. However, ive got a 01 1.8......injectors...
