Thanks for the replies :) I think I am going to take one off and check all the mentioned items. If that is not going to sort it out I think it might be wise I check in with a garage and let them check what went wrong. Especially after the right front one is starting to make a lot of racket...

Hey all, As the title says, both front springs keep making pling and plang sounds when the steer is at full lock. Sometimes while driving the springs make such a sound too or a very audible plongk. The rear springs make sounds too, but less often as far as I can tell. The original springs have...

I recently lifted my freelander 1 TD4 (from 2005) :) For that I used TJM springs instead of spacers. The entire car gets somewhat stiffer and gets about 30 mm extra clearing. You will not need to make any other mods, the springs will fit in the same space as the originals. It will not really...

I will try to make a better picture when I get to it from below. I think it is the best way to take a better look at the part. In the second picture (the one from my car) in my first post you can see it, but it is somewhat in the distance. I believe the small black box you see there is at the...

Additionally, the next time I get it on a bridge (or how it is called in English) I am going to look from the bottom up. Maybe I see something from that side. But I am starting to feel someone replaced the hose + filter with something else.

Can it be there are TD4 models without a turbo vent filter??? I have the 2005 model and have searched for days (literally) but cannot find any. And believe me, I have spent hours searching for it spread out over two weeks and I have groped with my hands behind the engine for so long I believe my...

Thanks for the info. Both me and my mechanic really appreciate it as the car is very different from what he usually works on and a lot of parts are - at the moment - a bit strange for him. I tried every gear (also the manual gears) and they all work correct. I wanted to try a little fiddling...

Thanks for the quick reply. The car is not totalled, it still drives (although I decided not to drive it until the problem is solved). I do not think the transmission is the actual problem but I still think that as it gives a fault code something is wrong. The fault code is P0705. It...

Yesterday my freelander got it's fault codes read and there came an error regarding the transmission. Something with gear selection if I remember correctly. My brother (and mechanic) told me this might be due to a one or two click turn of a transmission bolt which looked like it sets...

Regarding the speedo, I think I will take my gps with me for a while. I'll put the cruise control on and see what the difference is between the needle and the gps. Hopefully not all too much, but as fines are almost equally high as road tax over here I am going to make sure I'll know where the...

Welcome, I recently got me a TD4 too. They drive great :) With your door locking, generally clicking once on lock locks all doors. Pressing unlock once opens the drivers side door and pressing the open button again opens all doors. I don't know if something is broken, but I thought I'd mention...

The springs are from TJM, it is the XGS range. They are made in australia (I found out afterward). They really do look heavy duty. My mechanic usually puts on springs by hand, just pushing them in and there they go. Here they tried with two mechanics simultaneously and ended up renting some kind...

Hello all, This is not the front wheel / rear wheel question again! I've seen that topic a million times on google already :) I have been looking for a new set of tires for the better part of a week. The problem is, it is hard to find tires in the freelander size that are somewhat capable...

Hey all, Before I start using the remainder of the forum I thought be polite and start here. I always liked cars that could get somewhere where the pavement ended, unfortunately actually owning and using them is extremely pricey and as such it never came to it. Also, I always considered Land...
