I have a strange noise coming from the front offisde wheel area of my L Series 5 door. Anys suggestions would be appreciated. If I did not know better I would say it sounds like someone has left a couple of marbles in there and they are rolling around!! - it only seems to happen when I am...

I have waited for the glow plugs to go out before cranking the engine on every diesel car I have had for the past 15 years, regardless of the weather ;-). It does not appear to smoke on acceleration any more than normal so I think my hoses are OK. It would not fire this morning at all (very...

Can someone recommend some good quality glow plugs for my 2000/V reg L series? My Freelander is very difficult to start from cold, usually in the morning. It turns over with smoke from the exhaust for sometime before firing (sometimes I don't thinks it's going to go at all). Fuel filter and...

Glow plugs have ben changed with no noticeable effect. The car wont start first time in the morning, if I switch the ignition on and off 2-3 times (waiting for glow plug light to go out each time) it will start so does this point to the relay? If the wrong relay is installed and it's only...

Any advice on my L-Series Glow Plug relay mystery would be appreciated ... In order to try and cure a cold start problem on my XDI I purchased a new glow plug relay (part YWB100560L) from the local Land Rover dealership. According to the Haynes manual the relay should be a yellow one and is...

Can someone be so kind as to post a link to this Roverron unit for a Freelander L-Series which is 'about £75' to boost the power to 129bhp?. :) I can only find a unit which is £159...:( Cheers

mate, thats a whole lot cheaper than a new VCU !!! The eBay descriptions says it can be done DIY, how straightforward is it? (how nice it would be to have a step by step guide ......;) )

While having part of my exhaust replaced the fitter drew my attention to the fact that the rear 'collar' surrounding the unit was a bit loose. The fitter was not trying to suggest anything was drastically wrong, just pointing it out (the centre don't do that kind of repairs anyway). I keep an...

Would someone be so kind as to re-post the procedure for testing the injectors on an L-series diesel please ? I know I have seen it on here before but can't locate where TIA Jonathan

Well, I changed the glow plug relay under the bonnet and alas it made no difference. Could the starting thing be just a fuse problem? - i.e. it's gone and is not using the relay at all, or would this mean the engine would not start at all? This problem has only really started as the mornings...

Thanks Blippie, much appreciated. Issues don't sound too onerous (and more importantly not too expensive!) so will get them checked and sorted ASAP. Jonathan

Dear All, I have a 2000/V XDi (L-series) 5 door which I am very happy with, however it does have a few 'features' that will need sorting out at some point! On the plus side the vehicle is economical, tows my caravan like a dream and I don't THINK I have any VCU/IRD issues. It's an...
