If I'm right you've got the Rover L-Series power plant...I remember that the low pressure fuel pump is a niggle of the Td4 BMW engine, and on the cars with the Rover engine there is no pump behind the rear driver's side wheel arch. I think you have to search for your problem's solution in your...

I live in Italy...bought my Freelander (1999 MY, 2l L-Series Turbo Diesel engine) with 200.000 km on the clock for 1500 €...as soon as I got home I gave it a general check and serviced it with new engine oil and filters (done at home, just 80/100 € in total parts price, I don't...

We bought our Freelander last year...only Euros spent on it were for the timing and auxiliary belts and tensioners -which is ordinary mainteinance for a lot of engines- and the rear differential mountings. Prior from us a lady kept it for 14 years in admirable conditions, going religiously to...

I know the electric sunroof problems is a topic already covered, but I woke up with a (silly?) idea and no one seems to have talked about something quite similar...so, I was wondering: as I'm having problems with my sunroof motor (it clicks when trying to close the thing, doesn't go wide open...

Last year I bought a sprayer for moulded bumpers and asked for a sort of polish to clean the bumpers before spray it on them...they gave me a pink-coloured product which I used on the bumpers with a sponge, after that I sprayed the bumpers: they look perfect still today, but they've no longer...

...changed the light bulb behind the clock display...2 Euros and hey presto, job done. Then a little check given to all fluid levels, viscous coupling (just the "disallignment" visual test, although I know for someone it's not valid...but our VCU has been fitted 40.000 miles ago and there are no...

Another Freelander owner with scratches on front windows, here I am. On mine it's noticeable that there are no scratches at all on the front passenger window (which is rarely rolled down completely) and some scratches on the driver's side window (which my father have the bad habit of rolling...

Lock assembly...every Land Rover owner knows they tend to break (like the electric windows motors/cables)...just a matter of time, unfortunately

I think you can also see the mileage...if it has more than 120-150.000 kms (74.000-93.000 miles) and it's never been changed, it usually has to be replaced immediately.

I'm writing from Italy...as far as I know something like 99% of Freelanders here don't have leather seats (air-con is kind of a must-have optional here, but leather seats are not, even if nowadays things seem different) but the moment I know about a scrap with a Freelander with leather...

I've just found this thread...what a great, great work on your Freelander! :D:D

Yes, it's more, how can I say it, agricultural and noisy than most other cars' turbo-diesels...but I personally prefer the "less power, more reliability" approach which was at the origin of the diesel engines engineering but nowadays is, like, forgotten. I never towed anything so probably my...

I'm actually talking about changing up...I accelerate, arrive at 1700/2000 rpm, then change, as soon as I leave the foot on the clutch and press the accelerator the engine continues to rev up, no problems at all - although for sure i'm not going anywhere very fast (i think "fast" is not and...

Air filter is usually the first thing to check in these cases...but honestly I go around 3000 rpm only when I'm on the highway at 130 km/h...I usually change gear at around 1500/2000 rpm to save fuel, knowing that the L series is not what u could call a sporty engine :D Apart from that, it may...

Rough considering it's a Freelander...obviously for daddy Defender it would be just the ordinary life, but it should be a bit proud of the little FL1 capabilities

Manual, but I think the L series never had the auto option...

If your FL1 is the one in your profile pic...it's like the twin sister of mine :) Mine's an L series too...without metallic noises at 110 km/h. Could it be generated by the VCU rubber damper with cracks of some sort? Some bearings in the IRD? I never experienced issues with it -luckily- but I...

I have a dachshund and his hairs are difficult to remove...lots of work even with the hoover. I ended up buying 17 Euros seat covers and making the dog used to travel in the boot when empty. I guess you can find pretty good seat covers for no more than 20-30 Euros...they are a pain to install...

Very interesting videos :D You don't see everyday a Freelander coping with that kind of rough stuff

Even the original Freelander's user manual says the same: 10 minutes per week (the manual says "at a constant speed") also during winter is usually usefull to prevent issues with the air con. ;)
