Thanks all for your help. I thought as much. Gonna sort it this weekend BTW bought a thing caled a CV joint puller ebay ref 201908757228. Does anyone know if these work? If so it could change my life!!!!

Hi I have an early Freelander (vin 1A341269) Which has the castlated abs ring on the hub. have replaced the shot CV joint with a later one (off a later vehicle) without the castlated ring and I now have my ABS light on all the time. does anyone know if I change the sensor for the later type...

Sorry, been away for a couple of days. Thanks very much for your replies. Crank pulley definitely rotates, so hoping that any problems are top end Question: If its camshaft or chain failure, does anyone know if the td4 is a "safe engine" ie no piston/valve collision?

Hi. I have 2 TD4s and have overcome most of the usual issues. Latest one seems possibly terminal. Symptoms: - Whilst normal driving in 2003 TD4, engine became much louder, like holed exhaust, then stalled. - No obvious signs of catastrophic failure, no loss or transfer of fluids, not seized -...

Hate threads that have no conclusion so let me finish this one just in case someone else can benefit. Salient points are: - I was incorrect in the description of the warning light, it was in fact the orange light fitted only to Diesels and supposedly warns of an emissions problem. - Problem is...

Thanks for the offer, thats really kind and I will take you up on it if problem persists. Removed EGR and cleaned thoroughly today (sunday). The light is the amber one to the left of the red ignition/battery symbol. If this is not one of the three A's then my mistake, sorry!. Whatever it...

Thanks for comments folks. Will clean EGR again and look for someone with a more appropriate code reader. Keep you posted.

Had my FL 1 TD4 for nearly a year now. Love it to bits, sorted all niggles except orange engine management light. On and off. When its on, I have no change in performance. Engine performance is always very good whether the light is on or off. Got rid of the light for a long time (about 2k miles)...

Ok to finish this one off. After much ado problem solved, it was the cracked subframe issue causing the banging noises . Dropped the rear suspension assembly and took a can opener to the rear internal floor, repaired cracks then plated the whole area inside and out. Now perfect.

Thanks very much for your input VCU was a new one (Brit part? or something similar) from a local LR specialist. Not looked at centre mount yet, will do when rain (and Wife) stop.

OK I will have a closer look at that tomorrow, however the front mount is new (less than 1000miles) fitted by the previous owner. If it is at fault it failed pretty quickly. I appreciate your time to help. By the way it was reading your posts regarding VCUs (before I bought the van) that made me...

Thanks, good photos. Your gap looks closer to mine, maybe I am chasing a red herring. Is the point of the rubber cylinder to act as a bump stop? If so then surely it makes a noise when hitting the crossmember. On mine that thump is quite audiable esp when changing direction. I had hoped that I...

Thanks for your reply. I had assumed the rubber cylinder is a bump stop, there is clear evidence of it contacting the crossmember. The bump stop is attached to the aluminium skeletal frame of the rear diff mount which is bolted to the diff. The centre of the mounting bush is bolted to the...

Thanks for looking, I will annotate the pic, see if I can make it clearer

Not sure of what you want a pic, the diff mount or car. Attached is the car, I can do a pic of the mount but all it will show is a gap of about 25-30mm between the rubber donut and the crossmember. Attached is a pic of the same area off a youtube video showing a gap of about 5-6mm

Hi, this is my first post, I have what might be a difficult question. Just bought a Freelander commercial van, really like it. Replaced the VCU as a matter of rote as I didnt know its history. The rear diff bangs around a lot, centre mount is new rear mounts look OK except there is about 1"...
