A red LED should light to show which position the selector is in, also on the dash it will say in LCD next to the miles. I assume you have gears, unlike my unfortunate incident... The Duke

Thanks for that TW1..yes, somehow....there is a connection to the engines overall operating temperature I guess..I very rarely drive the Freelander, 'er indoors' I 'rely' on to tell me of any problems..but I'm certain there's been no indication of the guage on the dash warning of any rise..I'm...

Sorry to have left my replies so long to this post..... However...SORTED now. I, as suggested, attempted to take apart, clean out, re connect etc all wires that are in those two big blocks, followed every wire I could that may have even remotely related, or not,...no joy. Both fans were...

You see, this forum has some very very nice people on it! Thanks Nodge68, I had seen the picture but was struggling to work out exactly where the connectors were. I also struggle with aches & pains these days too, especially today ??? but I shall endeavour to have a 'firkle' about with these...

Hi Nodge, OK thank you, is it easy to get at these barrel connectors??from underneath or top through gear shift console?? I without trying to sound even thicker ..MIL..??? I assume a light on the dashboard?? No nothing showing, miles & trip yes, no gear position, no engine management light or...

Hi Guys, No F4 or anything showing anywhere?? And yes TD4 engine. There are two things recently that have been done to the car, two weeks before this autobox problem the fuel pump went on it ( surprise ) it's had a new pump and I'm told the relevant filters..been fine starting and running...

I had feared this answer, inevitably. Strange that Reverse is fine and 1st on it's own is fine..is it worth taking it somewhere to have the car 'plugged in' wondering if the autobox fault will be recorded by the computer..or do I have to make that grave decision alternatively.... Dave

Thanks Hippo, I will endeavour to get it checked this week and report back any findings here, Ta, Dave

Sorry for the no writing back for a while.. Still got this problem with running in what seems like 3rd gear only. Christmas closures & time have sort of stopped thing s a bit..but, talking to someone recently..tell me that it could just be a knacked box??? Does anyone know if 'plugging in'...

Hippo, also, that pcb/red light etc by the gear selector..yes, definately some water has 'hit' that from the roof leak a fair amount in honesty. After the drying out by the Rayburn, we still have no red LED, nor anything on the dash, PRND421..daft as it sounds, may it be the fact that this...

Yes Guys, TD4 BMW lump and I do have the Haynes book, but it's quite sketchy over the auto box. Right,..thank you everyone..I shall now sit comfortably, and word by word, letter by letter self diagnose this lot into my little brain... Everything everyone has replied to here has been very...

Sorry to sound thick here, any more than I may be, but MAF?? what & where?? may be worth a look & test as you suggest Singvogel...again thank you, Titch

Now... something else comes to light after a drive out...... In gear position 1 the car pulls off perfectly..and I mean as normal as normal...in reverse the same too, so I rather fancy that the box is capable of operating and pulling off in first, albeit automatic, but, when driving obviously in...

Singvogel, I see & often read your posts on here..Thank You! That's invaluable info & I shall change the oil regardless of what else I may think is wrong,really..Thank Youagain. What I will add though, is that having just been out for a test run up & around our drive (big drive, yes,) is...

Hi, thanks for that, OK Stoke isn't too far away. initially I think what I'd like is for someone to check fluid levels/temperatures etc and re fill if necessary..then I believe I'd know how bad this could get, one way or another. Obviously I'm quite prepared to pay for this sort of service...

Yes, Freelander, 106,000 on the clock. Revs up but with 'little drive' in first gear..when you do get enough speed up, 2nd,3r'd 4th etc then works fine, reverse is fine too.??? Reading other posts and advice suggests that it may just simply be oil levels..ie pressure etc. I realise I must be...

Hate to admit this, but our fuel consumption went crazily high....front brakes binding and I guess it's due to the floods in our lanes, still got a 15" reservoir on one part..Crap got into the caliper, rather 'quick' wear on the pads & hot steaming alloys!!!

Ah yes, got the disc!!! Quite useful too. I've had Series Landys, Disco, Classic & P38's.. but this bugger is made to measure for me..well, if I was 12" taller it would be, but it fit's the bill! Thanks guys!

Yep, I guessed that would be the case in this great world of ours. and they attempt to call it ....progress????

Clean?? our lanes don't do clean...swimming..yes at the moment. I've busted a gut to get this, now I feel content with life.. I don't care what anyone else thinks! Titch
