So the two options I got are: to top up the fluid and cracked piston. Why do you consider this piston to be a quick patch up job? Is it so easy? If it is , i might give it a go myself under a proper guidance of course as I dont want to hurt my beloved landy neither my already empty wallet. Any...

Hi Nodge68 and davidsmith1307, The IRD is still out and we haven`t put it back in as I am still thinking what is best to do next. I might have to take the gearbox out. Compatible fluid was used when the tranny was reconditioned last year. Since then I have not driven it much , no more than...

Hello to all. I have been having this issue described in the title for several weeks but I stopped driving the car the first time i heard that whining noise ( or something close to a whine, I am not sure how to describe that noise but it is present.). I suspected the IRD and I took it of 3...

Sorry to resurect this old thread but i am suffering the same issue you are having Angeloc. I am beating my brains silly with this exact same issue for an year and a half now. I have Freelander td4 auto 2002 and had the car examined by several guys. One stated it was a torque converter so i got...

thanks for the update. glad you have solved it. :)

Hi htr, I agree about the short lasting effect that the taping is gonna have but the issue is clearly not from the tie rod. This quick fix /sort of speak/ was done only to isolate the issue and perhaps to pin point what was doing that noise. I failed in that endeavor and once again I am...

Update please

Nope. No luck. It is still there and it is as irritating as before. :eek: But there is some hope. I have located it somewhere in the rh front part. I suspect the rh axle drive assembly but I need some one with more experience than me to give me his/her opinion first then to act on it. So...

I `ll be damn. Maybe the tie rod was the cause. I am a little cautions though. So far so good. :) There is no popping sound. Today my landy will be put through its passes as I will be going out of town and I am going to push her. I will let you know of the results. :) Cheers :)

Sorry for the delayed update on the case :o. What I did is to check the condition of the lower engine tie rod bushes and I have found as i previously suspected , a lot of wiggle/play in the big bush. Big enough play that I can pop it out very easily. So as to minimize that play I have wound a...

peterb107 I have probably the same issue and I am wondering how to fix it. Please let us know how did your friend`s mechanic do on the matter and what did he find. I changed all bushes in the front , drop links, both front axle drives with aftermarket ones (allmakes 4x4) and I dont know if...

Thanks for the replies. I will check all the suggested items as soon as possible. I have been reading about those notorious rear diff mounts on freelanders but never actually inspected them on mine. I will give em a thorough look at the end of this weekend. I keep thinking about those front...

Hello guys! I am newb when it comes to forums so I apologize in advance if i have done something wrong while posting that thread. My landy is a Freelander td4 2002 112 bhp fitted with a Jatco automatic gearbox. It has 172 000 km on the clock. Gearbox was refurbished and up to a factory...

Probably but I am gonna do this soon as i am curious of the resulting mileage and overall effect on the performance ;)

Thanks for the reply. I have sorted it out. It was a boost hose. The one going to the EGR valve( or in my case the egr blanking kit).

D3savage I got almost the same issue. It is most noticable on 5th gear and yes it is happening approximately at 45mph (~1500RPM). It can be felt while pressing down the gas pedal going uphill but also going on a leveled road with a bit more gas. I did some diagnostics of my own and figured out...

Very extensive post. Well done . I may reroute the hose (when I have a time to spare) despite the fact I start to think that it was originally left there laying like this (looking very sloppy) but in my opinion it should not be like that (my inner conviction). I will follow your advice and...

I wonder why did they leave it like this. It almost looks like it is designed to be attached to a hose. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Any thoughts ?? :)

The rigid pipe thingy is probably what you say hd3. But you see , I got confused when I was looking at the Td4 fuel tank lay out / diagram. There was a piece which looks very much like that IRD breather. ------ As of the clips, I was not talking about those securing the turbo vent to the rigid...
