1998 2.0TD So, I turn the engine on (After waiting for Glow plugs to heat of course) and it revs for about half a second to somewhere around 2k RPM and then the MIL lamp illuminates (it drives ok, no smoke etc but is Limping on low power). After research I find it may be the Water Temp Sensor...

1998 FL1 2.0TD It's the Rear main light but the front side light (both offside) that are out but ALSO my Dash Lights are all out so I am guesssing there is a fuse somewhere I must have missed ? The day this all happened I used my Trailer that Morning so could well have blown something when...

I bought a used MAF as I am trying to solve black smoke on acceleration and idle at 1250rpm. Anyway, I saw One on ebay and bought it - It was advertised as a Mk1 Freelander MAF but it's Oval .. I assume its for the Petrol Engine? Can I take the actual sensor apart and swap things around with...

L (1998) Series Freebie 2.0 Diesel. This weeks problem (or One of them) is my Tick Over ! I take it that these are Fly by Wire ? How can I adjust the Tickover? The problem is, usually it ticks over at about 750 (at a guess) which is fine but when driving I notice quite a lot that we tick over...

Hi All, Rebuilt my engine after my first subject on this forum, made it 106 Miles and my Turbo went (I had another Runaway Engine but managed to stall it this time to save the engine). I replaced the Turbo with a used One, out on test run and engine started to seize - turns out the return pipe...

Hi Folks, I have been having a problem where my engine runs away at high speeds (2.0 L Series Diesel). A friend suggested adding some sort of tank as I have here and taking it for a run, it did not run away and felt a lot better but as you can see I have excessive oil recirculating. I am keen...

Hi Folks, You may remember my 'Runaway' incident when I first put this thing on the road ? if you don't remember the thread is HERE. So, I am ok at 'About Town' speeds but when I get onto a motorway I have nasty experiences - When I reach 70+ with my foot down I see the Blue smoke and the...

I have a 1999 2.0 L series and after my Runaway incident: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f46/help-disaster-over-rev-white-smoke-282588.html I still need to clean my Crank Case Breather but I do not know where it is. Can anybody tell me where to find this please?

1998 L Series 2.0 Diesel. Just had the fright of my Life.... Still shaking. I think I over filled the oil - was topping it up and I think I missed the new clean oil on the dipstick (Shoot me now). I run a Hospital Radio show as was just on my way there, left my drive as normal - car started...

My L Series 2.0D is running erratically - I first noticed when on a long straight road the other day when fuel consumption was high but since then I have been able to create a condition when it is most noticeable. In 4th or 5th gear at low speed (30mph) and half throttle it is just as if I am...

Today I am investigating my Aircon, The Pump doesn't kick in when I switch it on :( In the engine compartment we have the Aircon fuse (No 9) but there are no numbers on the fuse cover so which fuse is No9 and is there One missing here?

I just took my new Beast on a trip to visit my Father (5 Mins away) and let him see the Freelander for the first time. He has been an Agricultural Engineer all of his life (retired now) so can't resist checking everything out. I have a 'Sometimes' Rough 2.0 TD (P38) Engine, most of the time it...

Hi Folks, I'm well into my restoration now but something caught my attention - is this fuel gauge just stuck on what the fuel level was when I removed the cluster or should it return to the bottom?

I found a propshaft for my L Series the other day for £40 - the seller was even in the same postcode area as me :) He tells me he removed it from his 2000 model to try and get better mpg (I dont believe in any of that, the poor thing still has to haul around the rear diff after all!) Anyway, I...

Hi All, I am in Norwich and restore things, usually Bikes as I am not geared up for anything bigger (Well, I have a big Gravel Drive to squirm about on).. I do have a workshop though, a nice big workshop with everything I need for most things - proper tools etc so I am able to fix most...

Hi All, Acquired a 1998 XEDI the other day as a project, it has many problems but the main gripe at the moment is the Tailgate will not open, the window works from the center console and the wipers work (nothing from the key in the rear handle). I have the carpet out as the heater Matrix is...
