okies does the noise get worse when slowing down from about 35-40mph? mine did that was an IRD bearing, probably the pinion, but not sure which was changed. Can you see any oil leaking from the IRD, either at the front half shafts of front the prop pinion? If is sounds like a milk...

And so the hippo saga continues. (2001 td4 auto) Got in the car this morning, drove about 50 yards and the yellow HDC warming light comes on (little hippo facing down hill with a ! following it), follow do a F4 from the auto box a few seconds after. Car was fin yesterday afternoon. It...

Brakes sticking?

Went to the stealers to get a replacement coolant hose. In the TD4 auto, with FBH. Follow the heater return hose (one with the bleed screw) down, it's the 4 inch section from the non return value to the y piece. Stealer will only sell the entire hose set at around £130 (inc vat) Bit...

Fog need to come on with side light so that the road is lit. If he head light are on you can see bugger all for the light scattered and reflected back. I thought that this was normal operation for front fog lights. Is this not the case with the freelander. I still find it weird that the...

Quick update : my issue was the crank angle sensor. After it was replaced with a new one, the issue went away.

I had this recently on my 2001 TD4 auto. Everytime it changed up a gear it almost put me through the windscreen. Changing down was fine. Took the car to S+D Transmissions in Doncaster. Knackered solenoid was diagnosed and replaced. Total cost was about £350 with replacement gearbox...

I knew that I had seen you on here, Ian! Did you get your clocks working?

Hoping to visit. :)

Burning oil is probably what knackered the cat in the first place. Manufactures advise against running an engine that is misfiring to stop excess oil/fuel contamination in the cat matrix. Take of the oil filler can and look on the underside for white gunge. When coolant and oil mix, a white...

I was also led to believe that.

loose battery terminal?

Scratch that....damn thing failed again this morning... Some one please hand me the petrol and a match...

I cleaned a load of crap out of there the other day. whilst it was off for getting to starter bolts. There's a lot of gunge in there and the manifold, so I would not be surprised if the MAP sensor was chocked up. I just want this damn BMW crappy engine to run properly for once! Then I...

on going issue with the starter, since the HP Pump was changed. Turn the key, starter motor screams but is not engage to the fly wheel. Leave it a little while and it starts fine. Sometimes rolling the car a little makes it work, in neutral (its an auto bod td4) sometimes not...

Does the Hawkeye show the MAF and IAT reading in the live data? Thanks

The worst bit is they charge you twice for them....increase the premium for the modification and then want you to pay more money to cover them, should they become damaged! Car Insurance is just a legalised scam, I'm sure of it. They will use any excuse not to pay out, if they see the...

so by the same thinking, a pierburg maf and ronbox is not a mod, it just a better quality (and cheaper) part, right? :D Sorry, off on a tangent......
