It's not 206.000 miles, but 206.000 km, so around 130k miles for now. But as I'm not entirely sure what the symptoms are when the VCU crashes, mine could have failed, maybe? Or, I'm lucky to live in Denmark where the wildest terrain we experience is the sidewalk ;) In the weekend I will change...

Thanks a lot. This walkthrough really helped me a lot. I've planned for oil change on the gearbox anyway, so might just take the IRD as well. Should I consider changing differential oil also? Regarding my "interest" in the VCU is because I can understand that a faulty one can bring a more than...

You think this could be because a faulty VCU, so that should be changed as well?

Ok. Should I worry about it, or just accept the noise if it's the diff. pinion bearings?

Thanks GrumpyGel Hope your right, as the big things doesn't come cheap :) you shouldn't by any chance have a link to a guide how to check? Of course look for wear and tear, but could be there was some tricks to it. What about testing the VCU? Should I do that in any case. Sounds like a faulty...

Just replaced all tyres (to Latitude tour) so not sure switcing them around will make the difference. When you say rear needs replacing, do you mean final drive, or? I can't remember if there was uneven wear on the old ones. If there was, is the car doomed then? :)

Hi I've searched the forum for the issue I experience, although many similar cases I'm not sure if they really describe my issue. I'm beginning to experience some humming from the back of my Freelander TD4 ('04). It's only at speeds above 50 kph, and it's ONLY when I release the throttle...

It was the fuel pump. Installed a new one + filter. After a very easy priming sequence the engine has run perfectly since. Thanks for all your help guys. Regards Christian

Just the information I was looking for. About to change the fuel pump and filter and was quite worried about the procedure, and whether I would ever be capable of bleeding it without killing the new pump, so thanks a million :) Regards Christian

So.. removed the fuel pump and filter, and plan to buy a new fuel fump and filter tomorrow. As the OBD isn't giving me any fault codes I really hope this does the trick. By the way, when I removed the filter/pump assembly I found two unconnected connectors. One that was rusted away - had been...

I can see a lot of info on the car. Sensors are reporting in, so it seems to work, it's just that no fault codes are shown.. /Christian

I bought an OBD2 reader and connected it to the Freelander. The connection goes well, but even thought the Engine malfunction is lid, there's no fault codes reported by the ECU. Am I doing something wrong or is it possible to get an engine malfunction without any fault code reported? Kind...

Hi Thanks for some great answers. :) @Richallen - Do you know if the '04 codes can be read by standard equipment or if special LR-equipment are needed? I'll try changing the filter first. Bought one a while ago. If that doesn't the trick I'll have to try tapping the pump with my foot to...

Hi I have the strangest issue, which seems to be a combination of more issues I have found in the forum, so it's almost impossible to search for. Here goes .. Starting my Freelander TD4 ('04) with a cold engine works like a charm, but when rev'ing it, it stalls at 2500 RPM's (engine...

Thanks for the tip about the RAVE-manual. Some really good info in here :)

I'll try and clean and lube it, and if that doesn't do the trick I'll change the cables and X fingers. Thanks for your help :)

Your totally right. It has been worn a little. What do you recommend I do. Is there a magic trick :) Hope I don't need to buy a new motor, they are terribly expensive..

Hi It's not like I simply come asking stuff without having searched the entire Internet for clues. But even though I found many sunroof issues I only found one thread in another forum regarding an issue similar to mine, but with no answer. So I took the liberty to ask here, as my earlier...

Hi Recently my sunroof made those terrible cracking noises from the motor on my Freelander. I thought now it will cost me a fortune to get the sunroof fixed. But actually the only thing needed was to tighten the three screws the motor is mounted with. So I was very happy :). But when I tested...
