Hi all. I've passed my Freelander 1.8 2003 petrol. manual gearbox to my daughter and in the last 3 months the gear linkage has come totally adrift from the gear selector at the gearbox end. A year ago I had a new UJ fitted for this because the selection had become floppy. I had no trouble...

Hi All. I have been shovelling CR2032 Litium batteries into my Freelander 1 key fob every two weeks for ages now and I can't seem to get to the bottom of the problem. When Igot the car the fob went faulty after a few weeks so I took it apart, and there was evidence of WD40 type fluid inside on...

Hi. I have a problem with this car in that changing gear is quite notchy unless you have the revs up to the 3k range. It's like a worn linkage issue but I've had the flimsy UJ linkage right under the gearstick changed because of worn bushes but it's no better. Someone told me that they are...

Hi All. I have my Freelander up for sale since it's become too difficult for me to service now that the Auto gearbox has a real problem and the cooling system has a major leak somewhere. I’ve had the car for four years and loved every minute of it. The 2 litre* BMW engine starts first time...

Hi All. Took my newly acquired 2003 1.8 SE petrol Freelander down the motorway yesterday and noticed that over 50 MPH there was a high frequency growling coming from under the car so an I right in thinking that the propshaft is out of balance or the carrier bearings are shot? Additionally the...

Hi. I switched off my TD4 Mk1 when I came home from work and checked the water level in the expansion vessel. it was low so I topped it up. Let the engine run with the cap off for a minute then stopped the engine, replaced the top and went around squeezing hoses to make sure that no air was in...

Hi. All the window felt/rubber window strips have blistered. Is there any fix for this as new ones cost a fortune? Kind regards.

Hi. Have upgraded my bog standard radio/cassette head unit for a cheap Chinese head unit and after replacing the front left speaker, (due to corrosion), all worked but I wasn't happy with the way the controls worked so I swapped for a new JVC KD-X352BT Bluetooth unit and left the CD changer...

HI All. I've decided that I'm going to keep my Freelander TD4 after all and spend some money on it, one thing that's bugging me though. The boot well where the jack lives has water in it. Not lots but enough to be annoying. I've seen on Youtube that it comes in from the seam where it's welded...

Hi. I've seen many posts on this forum relating to this problem and forgive me if I'm adding another thread on the same subject so here I go. I have a 2002 TD4 (BMW engine), and I took it out yesterday from my house to Leeds and stopped and started it a few times on the way without no issues...

Hi. I posted this a few years ago and did nothing about it since then. Basically I have a TD4 2002 Mk1 with a noisy aircon pump/compressor. The system is full of gas so that's OK. My original question was about the aircon clutch which makes a horrific noise like a small road drill. I...

Hi All. Following my last post about buying a version 2 model the old trouble & strife has had a change of mind, (as is a woman's prerogative), and decided to stick with the one we got, (TD4 2002, version 1). So having checked various videos on the interweb thingy I have decided to install a...

Hi. I've owned a Freelander 2002, (version 1), TD4 for about fifteen months and have been quite impressed with it. I'm now looking to upgrade to a Freelander 2 and have seen one on Autorader for £4900. Are there any buying tips anyone can offer and what's a good price to pay? These are some...

Wow everything has changed here. Anyway I have a 2002 Freelander TD4 whose Air-con is not working. As ever I went down the re-gas route that most people go at a local very cheap quick repair center. When completed the ten year old that did it, (or looked that old), said after testing that...

Hi all. I took my Freelander into the garage today for new front discs & pads because the Front NS brakes were squealing and there was access wear on the discs. It's a 2002 TD4 version one. On collection the mechanic advised that the Front OS brake backing plate is fouling & noisey - plate is...

Hi. I have posted only a few posts so far and would like some advice please on recommending a parts supplier. I have been dealing with a parts supplier based in East Devon who trades on eBay. Over the last week or so I bought items from this supplier and I have found them to be very fair...

Hi All. So I finally got around to ordering a used front L/H door lock/actuator which duly arrived. After spending and hour removing the old unit and grazing half of my skin off I had the unit out and compared it to the replacement I discovered that the ordered unit was for the rear door and...

Hi. This is my first post on this forum and I took delivery of my very first Land Rover yesterday. It's a 2002 Freelander TD4 GS automatic with 121,000 miles on the clock and it's in emaculate condition for the year. Full service history, 2 pervious owners and the last owner had it for 10...
