Hi! I've just been to look at a 2004 td4 manual. It was lovely but lots of white smoke on start up and slightly spluttery until warm but apart from that ran really lovely (new clutch) Its had a new fuel pump and regulator so am guessing an injector maybe? What do you think, and will It be pricey...

All my coolant is vanished and turns out the thermostat cover just at the top has a leak. Happened suddenly on way home so guess it has cracked. Its a 2001 td4 es auto. Looks like changing the stat is a biiig job but is it possible to change just the cover, what would that involve? Or any...

Here's an odd one... I want to change over the 3 heater knobs in my pre facelift Freelander. The ones that are there are... sticky. They work fine, but it's not nice touching them! Is this a ... known issue? Think this will be an easy job? Thx!

Seen plenty posts on this but would be grateful for suggestions. Just bought (privately) a 2001 Freelander td4 Auto. Runs great, apart from: TC, ABS and HDC! lights: Come on at startup and will stay on if I drive forwards. If I reverse for a bit first though they go out, but come on again...

Hi all. I've sold my lovely manual 2004 td4. Got a good offer for it... Wanted to buy another facelift FL1, I really like the brilliant lights. But I've seen nearly a very tidy 2001 ES Automatic td4. Nice colour, good condition, had it's VCU replaced, etc. And it's half the price of a...

Hi - couple of things I need to do and not sure what to use. (1) back door hinge creaks (2) sunroof needs lubricant But not sure whether to use oil or grease for them. Any hints>? cheeeers!

looking for a couple of bits of wood trim for the fascia ... not the whole fascia just around the bottom section of knobs and switches for a facelift freelander 1... any recommendations where to look for best value/price? Some seem to be realllllly expensive! thx

Hiya, I might have the chance of changing my Freelander for an automatic td4. Are they as good in the snow as manuals? If I were test driving one, what should I look out for and anything I should try out eg kickdown, I've seen quite a few posts about failed gearboxes so am wary! Thx :)

Seems pricey, it needs 5 and "2 are quite long" Think I should be looking elsewhere or is this reasonable? Thx

Hi all The rear speakers aren't working, rather only the front "tweeters" seem to work and the bigger speakers in the front door don't work either. So I wondered if it might be the amplifier. Does it have it's own fuse? I can't see a fuse for it listed in the handbook. Could it be dead...

Quick question How easy and smooth should gear selection be on a td4? I expected it to be a bit firm, but it can be quite difficult some times to engage 1st in particular, though each gear requires a very firm push into place. It's almost obstructive. Is that normal? My last car was an Audi A4...

Hi all! Going to start with (hopefully) the easy stuff on the car. Central locking on one of the back doors doesn't unlock (but it does lock). Back speakers don't work. Is it easy to get the door cards off and to get access to the locks and speaker wiring? Going to try WD40 on the locking...

Picked up my Freelander yesterday. It's a Dec 03 facelift model, and drove it hundreds of miles home. We live in an isolated old farmhouse so may be a handy car. Lots of good things about it - full MOT, lovely engine, new window mechs for drivers door and rear window. Sunroof works, AC ice...

Hi all. Saying hello, just got an old Freelander yesterday and have lots of questions...! It's a facelift td4 HSE 4 door in a lovely red metallic colour with beige leather seats and low mileage. But in need of some tlc...
