    Deep water whine.

    Not that I just turn up the volume but I do most of my own servicing. Putting something off for too long usually results in having to do it when you least expect or need to have another job to do. Having just spent a glorious couple of hours swearing underneath in the cold doing the rear trans...

    Freelander 1 Quietest tires for freebie1?

    By far the quietest tyres I have ever had on a 4x4 are these. BFGoodrich G-Force Winter 2 SUV 215/65 R16 102 H XL I did have a set of "proper" BFGoodrich tyres on but after too many years on the car the MOT here told me to get new ones as these were too old!! So went out looking for a set that...

    Freelander 1 Pulling to the Left

    That was my argument . All my years of driving and I've only ever seen it on a badly crash motor! But they were adamant and said they've serviced Range Rovers and watched them tear out of the garage and clip the footpath and rip it off!!

    Freelander 1 td4 face lift (clunk)

    Had the same problem and took it to my Landy dealer, who quickly replied that it was the bearings on the top of the suspension. got them replaced and no more clunk on the turn. might want to check them and see if they are worn, mine had no grease and ceased bearings.

    Freelander Diesel Fault

    Update on the leak. Turns out the cheap sensor wasn't sealing against the rail properly so as it heated up and expanded so did its grip and finished by spraying the inside of the engine with diesel, went through half a tank of diesel trying to get home!! So don't be cheap with the parts is the...

    Freelander 1 Pulling to the Left

    I should stay away from that nice drive around Wicklow. Just had the rear passenger side wheel adjuster fall apart whilst reversing into a parking space. Heard loud rubbing noise checked the side mirror and saw the wheel sticking out at almost right angles from the body. So hiked for a few...

    Leaking fuel from near injectors!

    Interesting seems to point to a problem I'm having with a leak in the upper section at the injectors. Pooling, then overflowing if I don't see it in time followed by billowing smoke from under the bonnet at traffic lights!! Embarrassing! Thanks for the info.

    Freelander Diesel Fault

    Ha ha ha Welcome to my life. Exactly the same problem. replaced just about everything I could, may as well have bought a new engine. Last thing I replaced was the Fuel Rail Sensor and that seems to have sorted the hiccup so far, but have noticed that there's a substantial fuel leak going on...

    freeland 1 tailgate will not open

    Getting the trim off is the least of your worries!! I prized the plastic up from under the rubber window seal with the window down, which revealed the plastic clasps the inner trim is secured to the top of the door. Then from inside pull the trim back as far as you can. There are bolts under...
