Good on you. Most people come on here having bout the petrol wondering why they're losing water. Car looks good, same colour as mine by the looks.

If the above posts don't convince you how bad Britpart are then nothing will.

Wot Rich said.

For me I don't see the point of the Sport mainly because they never did anything to the engine. Tweaked suspension is all very good but unless it's been recently replaced it might be all a bit tired at this mileage & a good standard model shouldn't be wallowy at all, mine certainly isn't. It...

Local scrappy. As long as the main bungs are still ok & it's just the small plastic centre "screws" you can use stainless steel self tapper screws instead. Thats what I did as two of mine broke.

Claiming an early seat for this one, he could be fun.

Time to get the popcorn in.:pop2:

Auto is very very good in the snow & you'll have no trouble at all going up or down icy hills with it. the Freelander Td4 uses a JATCO automatic box & they tend to be fairly good as long as you change the fluid regularly (between 30k-60k miles). Like everything there have been members who have...

The ratio of the ird was revised & all Td4's have the uprated box which is much kinder to the vcu. It was the early L-series diesels & early 1.8 K-series petrols which ran with the more aggressive ratio which overworked the vcu. Not sure exactly when the 1.8 petrol received the upgrade but it...

No, it doesn't go like a rocket. The synergy transforms them & makes performance acceptable but it aint no rocket. As for vented discs, if you've fitted a synergy 2 then you've got a Td4 which should already have vented discs. The brakes will still be ok/adequate but not much better. Some...

That wouldn't be the same suppliers who want to charge £250~ for one of their recon units would it? You won't get an exact precise report of your VCU of course but you will know if it's beginning to bind by the reversing on full lock, regularly checking your tyre wear & carefully monitoring the...

Sorry Opti, don't often disagree with you but that's a Britpart headgasket & it wouldn't be me fitting it to my car.

Mine's done 77k & is exactly the same as it was when I got the car at 52k. Some will fail well before 70k & others will do double the mileage. The key is to keep checking it & luckily (mine being an auto) I reverse on full lock at tickover every day & will notice if it starts to get tight.

missing prop probably means knackered VCU & possibly IRD damage. Couple this with a damaged engine & it would not be exactly economical. Are you sure the engine & turbo are done. If you could repair them cheaply enough it could be worth running it for a few months as two wheel drive only &...

Yes, it's well known on many other forums. K&N have supposedly "investigated" & are blaming owners for cleaning them & using too much oil when reoiling them. problem is that many owners had problems with ones which came pre-oiled from the factory. I've done what others recommend & cleaned off...

Definitely like your version better Reddy.:D

I've had my Td4 auto for over three years & it's been a great car. Plenty of threads on what to look for it's been covered many times try searching for "buying freelander" or "buying Td4" or "what to look for freelander" or something similar. Good luck - your dad will enjoy it.

Just fitted mine last month finally after three years of using the old style ones. I was a bit put off by some members claiming to have to cut out notches to get them to fit so I ordered a complete assembly & it fitted with no trouble on to my 2003 car.

2006 Td4 doesn't have an intank fuel pump. They changed it in mid 2002 to under the rear wheelarch.

Warm starting problems usually points to the cam sensor.
