I've been having an on going battle to get to the bottom of my freelander TD4's smoking problem. It first started as stalling just after start up then difficulty starting followed by a cloud of white smoke. Local Indy diagnosed 2 completely knackered injectors and the other 2 as borderline. I...

Hi all, we already have a Freelander TD4 but have always fancied a disco so today we went to look at one. It's an Auto 2001 TD5. Needs a bit of TLC but engine and gearbox seem good apart from a few oil leaks which would need looking at. I've had a look underneath and it it undersealed so hard...

Can anyone confirm what size socket is required to remove the coolant temp sensor on a TD4? Was planning on changing mine at the weekend before I realised I didnt have a socket to fit! I think its a 22mm long reach but just wanted to confirm before I order one.

Quick question, Is it possible to change the coolant temp sensor on a TD4 without draining the coolant?

Just bought out second Freelander this week after the wife managed to park our last one in a field after a journey through a dry stone wall in the snow last year. Been using my motorbike all summer but decided to get another Freelander for the winter so hunted down a very cheap (£800) 2005 3...

Happy New Year everyone. Hope 2018 is good to everyone!!

After a bit of advice on diagnosing a fault guys. Today my wifes FL1 TD4 started chugging/vibrating when idling. Not effecting the driving at all but when stopping at lights etc you can feel the chugging / vibration and hear it in the engine note. It sounds as though its not firing on all...

Ive been trying to get my wifes 2005 TD4 FL1 booked into a local Landy specialist to sort out the current 3 amigo's on the dash. Unfortunately as he's really busy he cant fit it in until the new year so with all of the snow about at the moment I want the ABS and TC to be working so I opted...

Im going to change the glow plugs in the wifes 2005 TD4 at the weekend. Now that the weathers dropped below freezing its still starting fine but now started chucking a puff of smoke out that smells like unburnt fuel on start up with a very slight lumpy idle for about 5 or 10 seconds so I think...

Finished work early this afternoon so decided to crack on and get a few jobs done on the wifes new (to us) freelander. Swapped out the very gunked up EGR valve for a bypass unit with no dramas then repleced the crank case breather filter which looked like it hadnt been changed since the car was...

I bought a 2005 3 door TD4 at the weekend for my wife and it has a few issues I need to sort out (I got it cheap ;)) I have it running great now after cleaning the fuel rail pressure sensor but still have to sort out the lights on the dash. My question is, would a faulty handbrake switch cause...

Hi all, having previously owned a Range Rover L322 some years ago we have ventured back into landy world with the purchase of a 2005 Freelander TD4 for my wife. I just have 1 quick question, the cubby / storage type thing that sits on the roof between the passenger and driver just in front of...
