I always take mine to the garage my brother works at and his companies SnapOn(?) reader works fine with my Freelander. It cost them £5k though :/

I heard on the news (Radio 4) some guy (An Expert in something) say that our cars only produce 1% of the pollution and in even banning cars it wouldnt help much. Its more of another stealth tax, instead of using the current billions we give them for no reason on educating people they use it...

Ok had my dad take a look at this last weekend and he thinks my Cam Belt tensioner had stuck so the belt was slightly loose and the timeing was out. Its gone back now but under investigation all the pulleys etc are cacked in crap. Time for a new cam belt me thinks and ill get the set too and...

Very strange happenings now, drove all the way home from work last night with the loud tapping / rattle / chatter and just ignored it. Used the car later on and not a sound, it was quieter then when I bought it. Either something has fixed itself or what ever it was has fallen off, either way...

Thought id just update the thread, the Landy is still sounding like a tractor so im still invesitgating. I have another problem though which I think people may be able to answer easier. When accelerating the engine management light will come on and she will hold back with a loss of...

Hey, Thanks for the reply, it sounds like a loud transit van but only in the low revs, once you get up the revs it quietens off a bit. The noise reminds me of the old ford CVH engines when there tappets needed doing. Does anyone know what I can do to quieten it down (i.e. Like Changing the...

Hi All, Been a while without any problems so havnt been around much but im wondering if anyone would have any ideas about this. On the weekend we traveled back from Shrewsbury on the motorway and I was pushing her a little more then usual. When I got to the slower roads when in low revs we...

I always associated the Freelander with the XBox 360 (Also made by Microsoft). Its only a matter of time before its foobard

Hi, Ill try and make the story short lol I was getting a wobble on the front end when accelerating at around 40 - 50mph, took it to a local "Land Rover Specialist" who gave me a report saying it was the VCU seized. Ive since took the props off and although its much smoother im still...

After the "Land Rover Specialist" couldn't find my problem with my wobble ive decided to check the car myself this weekend. Can anyone tell me how I can check that my IRD wasnt damaged by the VCU being seized? Ive read a few places about noises and grinding but im getting none of them and was...

Hey all couldn’t find my other thread so thought I start part 2. Basically my freelander has a wobble on the front end when accelerating. After my mechanic suggested it could have been a couple of things I booked it in to a local specialist. Before I give the report 2 days before it was due in...

Hi thanks for the replies, What am I looking at if its the drive shafts? Im having someone look at it this week to confirm it but does this sound like one of thoughs "Cheaper to scrap it" jobs? Cheers

Good Idea, Thanks found some useful stuff to have checked.

Hi, Does anyone know the dimensions of the speakers in the S-Wagen (Front and Back)? I want to upgrade all of them to something nice but want it to all fit nice. Cheers

Does any one know if this is purley down to wheel balancing? Basically when I get upto around 50 - 60mph and floor it I get a wobble on the steering and it shacks the cab up. If i let off the power it goes back to smooth. Doesnt do it at slow speeds though. Its a 1999 2.0 XeDi Freelander...
