Failing crank sensor is said to give similar symptoms though usually they fail completely & don't start at all.

The shoes fit against the backplate at three points on each shoe & they are like raised dimpled pads. Unfortunately they rust & cause the shoe to bind to the backplate especially overnight after it's rained. The solution is to strip the shoes down, emery the backplate "pads" clean & use a little...

Maybe a more economical car would have been the answer.

If your maf is knackered i.e. car undriveable then you'll need a new one. If it's just drifted a bit out of spec then the compensator will do.

More rubbish, if these things were so great then all the car magazines would rave about them & promote them like crazy........................wonder why they don't.

I remember that stuff. If it was any good it'd still be around & a well quoted top seller. If your engine is worn then only a rebuild will cure it. With piston slap it may well run for several thousand more miles without causing anything more than an annoyance when cold or not depending on...

Usual suspects for front knocking are / Droplinks (cheap & easy) Wishbone balljoint (replace whole wishbone - it's easier) Upper strut mount loose or knackered (try tightening the large centre nut first) Wishbone bushes - particularly rear (less likely but relatively easy to take off & check...

Trackace laser kit is cheaper than dunlop optical & is ideal for diy use. Probably not robust enough for constant garage use though but I definitely recommend it.

Just spotted this one on ebay, but you'll need to be quick Freelander O/S/F Drivers Front Central Locking Latch | eBay

Mines the same. First the drivers door went & now the passenger door. Drivers door latches are very rare secondhand, I picked one up off ebay a while ago & it was about £35. Passenger oners seem to be more commonly available used. As for new, Famous Four do them Famous Four - New Parts...

£60 just for tracking, what a rip off. I did my own tracking with a Trackace laser unit. Bit fiddly to set up but very accurate & superb piece of kit. I was lucky enough to pick up a unit off ebay for £56 from a guy who was selling off a lot of trial pre-production units. Exactly the same as...

over £5k - ouch. Is it a sport model at that money. I got my 03 Td4 auto Serengeti over 3 years ago with 52k on the clock, years mot etc. for £4,700. Unless yours is a Sport which seem to command a couple of grand premium then you've overpaid for it.

You need a specialist Landrover breaker preferably, & used seem to go for anywhere between £200-£400. New ones are around £750. Watch out for breakers who try to sell ones for the rover 75 claiming it's the same as the Td4, they aren't all the same - Td4s have variable vanes whereas not all...

Camskill list these. They also sell winter tyres but don't list any stock at the moment. 4x4 Tyres - SUV Tyres - All Terrain Tyres - Off Road Tyres - 17" :: R17" - 225/55/17, 225/55 R 17 ::

If the engine was running ok then you've probably caught it in time. A few of the guys on here have done their belts & will give you advice on this but get yourself a service manual.

Yes, they made diesel 3 doors, both auto & manual if you go for the later Td4. For £1000 you're better looking at a mark 1 Rav4 as you're unlikely to get a get a good diesel Freelander for that. As for petrol, you might get lucky...

Agree with Maddy, as a get you home measure yes, but not till august, you'll knacker your vcu.

wot he says.

Oil shouldn't be as thick as tar but will always be black even just after a change. Just use good quality fully synthetic & change it regularly & it'll be ok. Your fuel filter is under the drivers side rear wheelarch but you have to remove the wheel & front half of the wheelarch liner to access...

At £1100 you'd be much better off with a mark 1 Rav4. Put a few hundred quid more in to the pot & you'll get an L-series diesel Freelander, a bit more & you're looking at a Td4. Don't like the fact it sounds tappety, it's already a sign that all might not be as it should be. Avoid this one.
