    Intermittent Traction Control Kicking-In

    I have a strange and intermittent issue on my 2005 FL1 TD4. This is what happens... The traction control and/or the ABS will operate on one of the rear wheels on a random basis. I think this is usually the left-hand rear. When it happens, it's usually immediately after exiting a right-hand...

    Clutch pedal knock/click

    My 2005 TD4 FL1 has developed a knock / click when depressing the clutch pedal. It can be felt as well as heard. The noise disappears if the pedal is pushed to the left but re-appears when pushed to the right. And it tends to happen only when the pedal is allowed to return to the fully up...

    Freelander 1 Central locking - NS Door not Unlocking

    My 2005 3 door has developed a fault on the passenger door lock:- It will lock but not unlock on the central locking. I've removed the inner door panel and taken a look inside but there's nothing obvious that could be causing this. Any ideas ? Thanks

    Freelander 1 Smokey Engine Heater

    Now the colder weather has returned I've started to notice an established 'feature' of my 2005 TD4 which I'd forgotten about all about during our long hot summer. And that's the amount of smoke that comes out of the diesel-fueled engine-heater exhaust after a short run. I was filling up with...

    Muffled "thump" from transmission

    I've started to notice my 05 Freelander TD4 makes a muffled "thump" when getting back on the power. This occurs when accelerating after an up-shift or when coming back on the power in a gear. You feel it more than hear it and I'd say it's coming from the rear. I'm guessing it's a worn...

    Freelander 1 Rear Window Regulator Replacement - How to Do It

    I just wanted to say 'Thanks' to ZDomZ for this posting:- https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/how-to-tailgate-window-regulator-repair-replacement.246939/ It all worked perfectly. The only problem I encountered (or stoopid error ?!?! ) was trying to reset the calibration with the door...

    Turbo Hose Kits - which to buy

    My turbo hoses are starting to look tired and leaky so I've been looking at replacement kits on the interweb. But I'm amazed at the wide range of prices. Lots of the cheaper options seem to be from China but then I guess so is lots of stuff you'd get from a main dealer these days. Do you have...

    Tailgate lock and window playing up !

    Hi All My otherwise very reliable 2005 TDi Freelander has decided to give me the runaround when it comes to opening the rear tailgate. Sometimes the window doesn't drop and the latch won't release, then I walk away and come back to it and all is fine again. Then sometimes when driving along the...

    Freelander 1 What's this part ??

    Hi All Does anyone recognise this part ? It was lying on the drive behind my Freelander. It has a maker's stamp and part number - faurecia 9581359680 . I've googled the details and faurecia make car parts but the number doesn't bring up anything. I can't see anything missing off mine so it...

    Freelander 1 Loss of Power When Wet

    Hi All My '05 Sport TDi is losing power after it's had a soaking, typically soon after splashing through standing water. The engine management light comes on and it goes into a sort of limp-home mode - power is down and the revs appear to be limited to approx 2500. It clears once it's dried...
