Hi I am having issues with my freelander starting, when it does go it runs fine. I have new spark plugs, new coolant temperature sensor and new battery. It seems to nearly go for many turns of the key but never quite get there, the RAC think it getting flooded and remove the fuse for fuel...

the cheap code scanner I have got does not seem to talk to the car! so no data available. The air filter seems clean enough with no smoking or high fuel consumption, no other real issues other than struggling to start. I just picked it up from MOT station and passed but took 4 attempts to start!

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good quality drop link? I purchase ones off eBay for about £12 but end up changing the near side one every 9mths, the roads are quite bad by me with pot holes on that side but assume they should last a lot longer than they do at the moment. It's probably just the...
