Thank you lads. Too bad. :(

Hello, On my Freelander DI2.0 '99 there's a port that looks like an OBD2 to me: It says 348822 AMP on it. Does anybody know if it it really is OBD2? I'm thinking of buying an ELM327-WiFi to access it from my iPhone. Has anyone tried if it works? Thanks.

Your warning is duly noted. I've changed the tensioners - that's what I meant when I said "rollers". Didn't know the technical term for that. As a matter of fact, they were pretty much spent... Also do you think changing the belts/tensioners at 50K km rather than 100K is doing it a wee too...

Yeah, but it'll cost half the price of what I paid for the car in the first place. So, I dunno. Even as a 2WD it's proven to be good at going up frozen slopes... And the 4x4 - doesn't it kick in only after you lose traction anyway? I see. Well, this explains it. I bought it at around 170K.

Hullo lads. I've been having my '99 DI 2.0 for a couple of years now. I couldn't find that info in the manual, so I wonder if you would like to help me? Any advise on how often shall I change these: - Breaks fluid - Transmission fluid - Power steering fluid - Timing belt and rollers - Engine...

192K '99 2.0 DI. I've been having it for 2 years now. The goods: - Has exceeded expectations on reliability. - Comfy/spacy interior for the money. - Superior visibility. Cons: - Feels like driving an old car: turning the wheel needs a bit of strength, brakes are not sensitive, i.e. it brakes...

Thank yer lads. I'll be buying this one in the end: http://www.castrol.com/en_au/australia/products/cars/automatic-transmission-fluids/atf-dex-iii.html Seems ok. Cheerio.

Hello, I need to top up some power steering fluid for my Freelander 2.0 turbo diesel (the rover engine). The shop in my village says I could use a Volvo 1161540 (this one being for AW50-42LE). According to the manual I need to use a dexron iid/iii compatible fluid, but I couldn't find whether...

Got new shoes for the rear brakes and now it's actually better than before. Thanks everyone!

I'll certainly go to a garage, yet I think gathering some info first from other owners might be beneficial. The the truth is quite a few of the mechanics around here are not concerned very much with accurate analysis or fixing the actual source of the problem rather than "patching things up", so...

I've observed no difference after pumping the pedal. I can't really test it at the moment without the engine running as there's not much flat road to accelerate/decelerate. It did feel very soft even when the engine was cold and I hadn't had the key in. After switching off the engine and...

Silly me, completely forgot about the steering wheel! Could it be air though? I mean had the fluid replaced ages ago, and it's only since Friday that the pedal started going nearly all the way down. Haven't touched rear brakes at all. Parking brake never operated correctly (have to pull it all...

Hi there! I got a Freelander last December. That's my first car, and I'm quite happy with it as I find it perfectly suitable for my needs - I live in a rural hilly area and there's a quarter of a mile of dirt road to go, so it's indeed most adequate. And it sort of suits my driving style...

Thanks guys.

Thanks very much for the advice hd3. Highly appreciated!

First, I'd like to say hello and thank you for having me in your forum! I'm a new driver an I'm planning on buying a vehicle second-hand. I live somewhat away from the city and it's hard to get home in the winter using a conventional car, so I'm definitely going for an SUV. I've read so many...
