Hi Jedi, you are right about the air pressure disappearing after the dipstick is removed. However, the indication of low oil when the dipstick is first removed is a known issue with TD4 engines - you should always wipe the end and reinsert it to see the correct level. As for not seeing the...

I have a theory about the perceived low oil level. The dipstick tube dips into the surface of the oil a certain amount. When driving the oil moves from side to side in the engine and uncovers the bottom of the tube and allows air in. When the oil then tries to find its level again, it cannot...

Hi all, I'm afraid its new door lock time! Had same problem, tried to fix lock but found that it can only be partly dismantled. I suspect the problem is with the unlock motor which is under the white plastic part of the lock holding the electrics, which you cannot get at without destroying the...

I had a similar problem when I replaced the fuel filter next to the pump. The two are mounted on the LHS inner wing behind the battery on my 02 TD4. A three pin round connector at the top of the filter housing has to be disconnected before the assembly is removed. I found that I had not pushed...

Hi, you will need to unscrew the castellated ring. I have attached an explanation from a previous post when I removed my in tank pump. Re: Changing In tank Fuel Pump TD4 Before you remove the ring disconnect the two fuel lines and the electrical plug. I have just removed my pump to...

Hello again, I think your problem will be more difficult to find if you cannot reproduce it in some way. Have you tried to find an intermittent connection on any of the components in the circuit? There are connections on the fuse box, engine control module in the box behind the battery...

Hello, I have a similar problem on a 2002 TD4! I have investigated mine and have found that if I hit the instrument panel or the fuse box cover I can make the battery charge lamp flash! The bad news is that I haven't found the problem. I believe the reason for the intermittent flashing lamp is...

Hello, I had a similar problem, except mine failed to close one time in ten! First check is to listen to the lock / unlock motor. When you pull the door release, the lock motor should release the door latch for the door to open. About one second later you should hear the lock motor release to...

Hi, I have an MY02 TD4 with two fuel pumps (one in the tank and one under the bonnet)and it takes 60 seconds for the pumps to stop. I have no issues with starting and it runs very well. (Oh dear - what have I said???????????) Eric.

Hi Missing Link, I had a similar problem when I fitted new tyres to the FRONT on the Freelander and left the original ones on the back- and no, I didn't wreck the IRD or rear diff. doing this ( now done 72,000 miles). When the tyres needed replacing again, I replaced all...

Hi Willo, My SWMBO has suffered this problem for years. We have tried various cushions. bolsters etc all to no avail. Then a friend told us about an inflatable travel cushion and the problem is no more! I know I sound like a TV advert, but believe me it really helped. Perhaps you have...

Make sure the ignition is switched on first!! Eric.

I had one fitted when I had a caravan. The fitter routed the cable from the battery positive, with an in line fuse, across the engine bay attaching it to the vacuum hose running across the scuttle to the brake servo. The cable was then routed through the scuttle with the wiring loom, down past...

Hello, I have an 02 TD4 GS 5 door which needed a new battery during the winter (it was the original, I think). I had the click, click syndrome, when I first tried to start the engine when the weather was very cold. It would always start the second time. I think the current drain from the glow...

Ah yes! I see that could be a problem! I usually remove mine when the load area is empty and store it in the garage, then put it back when I have finished. It just goes to show how versatile the Freelander can be. :)

You don't need to do that. Release the RHS (looking from the back of the tailgate door), lift up wards slightly releasing the LHS, pull the RHS to the rear and drop this end down the space above the rear interior light. Continue dropping this side down wards (leaving the LHS where it is) then...

Sorry to hear about windows and drivers lock solenoid. Does the button refuse to come up when you unlock the door? If so, I'm afraid its a new lock assy. as they are not designed to be dismantled. Cost me about £73 from LR. Also tricky to fit the first time - Haynes Manual confusing until you...

Hello. I have just checked for you and it is a T40. Also used to adjust the Torx screws on locking plates on the door jams. However, you will need a T25 to remove the drivers door lock when that fails! I suggest you buy a good quality set (eg Draper) as the larger screws are very tight. You will...

I have just removed my pump to check the filters. I first marked the position of the ring with tippex. Using a large flat bladed screwdriver, I tapped the raised pieces on the ring using a heavy hammer on the back of the screwdriver. I went from side to side to even out the force. There is a...
