Had the gearbox removed, again...back to the transmission shop under warranty.. Have bought new track and control arms for the front, and new anti roll bar bushes - hmm....bit of a job to come! Stipped the dash down - to find the most horrendous buzzing rattle!! Arrghh!!... Found a couple...

Yup - so so true!! The one big final killer reason I went back to Landy was simply because the knowledge about them - how to fix them etc is so so good. The forums and indys are si used to the motors!!! Now - if a vw Toerag goes wrong (was my alternative to the RR) then even the stealers shyed...

I had a similar issue with my 2003 TD6 the other week. An extra bit of wooshing sound and slight loss of general oooomphhh... In my case it was a failed electronic valve on the EGR circuit - found when plugging into diags.. Changed the valve (about £50) and then perfect again.

I've had a string of Landrovers and also a number of so called reliable cars from manufacturers that can't be mentioned here. I've used them all for daily driving about 12k miles per year..and boat towing and launching off slipways, beaches, mud etc. Given the ease of working on them, cost of...

Replaced the NSR window regulator (I tried replacing the cables but never again..clearly beyond my basic skills!!). All items back up and running 100%. Awaiting for the next failure....hmmm..I wonder what it could be..:rolleyes:

Yikes - a shocker! I get pretty much 40mpg from the old L series and the Rangie does about 28mpg... must have meant 456.3 miles...:D

Spent 4 hours trying to repair the bl**dy N/S/F window regulator! - given up and ordered complete reg! There are easier ways to design and build window regulators!! AArrgghh!!!!

XEDI - It's always been between 38.5 and 41.5mpg - more or less 50% town and 50% Motorway driving.. so depends on how bad the traffic was I guess. No mods, all figures worked out by brimming the tank.. A dull post... might be useful to someone though..

My old 19J used to smoke a lot when cold, and it's something I see all the time with older generation marine engines.. In fact my old 19J could lay a good fog for the first few minutes on startup. If is still smokes a lot when fully warmed - that'll not be so great... My of 19J sadly had a...

Hi Wollee 18. I also have a 1999 Freebee (L series) and have been through the same as you very recently. The ABS goes out once driven yes, the HDC light should go out if the sensors are ok fitted ok - but will flash up again if there's a too larger air gap or a damaged reluctor ring. My...

No, it's great. It was cheap to buy and is cheap to run - it drives nicely (bit noisy on the motorway- but passable - and probably quieter than an Audi TT), very torquey for a little diesel, it's a little Landy I can throw around locally - loves it off road, tows, carried..cracking little motor...

Had new tyres today and the aircon re-gassed, then drove home with a grin on face :D - ok - they have thier faults, but what a wonderful Landy. A true classic in the making!

Had it running perfectly first thing this morning - that sweet spot with all faults fixed! Drove 40miles, now have a rattle as if an exhaust bracket (or something'orrible) is loose, and the N/S front window cables snapped! Ahh..back to normal then! :D

Hi All, Just saying hello! Seems right to. This site has been so useful for issues in the past - reading through the threads and fixing my Landie issues - Cracking!! - I thought it about time I register and put the odd note and hint back in - as and if I'm of help! I used to have a...

Today - Replaced the Master and Slave Cylinder, dried out the underboot area, fitted a VDO Dayton CD and Satnav unit, washed the Freebie and Linseed Oiled the Bumpers! More or less standard weekly maintaince! :D

Hi Higgy. I have an earlier car - slightly different ABS system (thing sensors are the same - best check though), and have recently resolved my little 3 Amigos issue (Well, 2 amigos - as the HDC was fine - once I rewired the HDC switch). All I can report to help you is all my sensors were...

Those pics are great! It's the next job now -changed the Master and Slave cylinders today! Penetrating oil at the ready!

1999 XEDI. 138000 miles, runs lovely. It's had a new VCU a couple of years ago, still on the original clutch (yikes!).

Hi Guys, I'm shortly blanking the EGR on my XEDI - have the parts - just need the time and bit of dry weather.. Will get the penetrating oil going early! Will let you know if I find any nasties! Cheers!

My Freelander is my 4th Landy to date (had SIII, 90 Turbo, have an L322 and have had Pajero's and Landcruiers too..) I love my Freebie - L Series Diesel - soild and Reliable, had it a year now - and as a second car to the L322 - its great!! Bags of charm - still a Landie..still clocks 500 -...
