Hi all, can anyone advise me please ? How difficult is it to replace the thermostat on a facelift 2006 FL 1 TD4. I can see it is TRICKY to get to but on the face of it there looks to be just 5 torx headed bolts 3 on the housing and 2 connecting to the rear of the head area, I have wondered if...

Hi all, has anyone got at a cheap price the two inner parking sensors for my FL1 TD4 Freestyle 2006 Landy. Obviously working ones that tick as mine don't lol.:D I have looked on E bay and there are lots of Chinese ones at low price but when I check compatibility to my vehicle they say won't fit...

Hi All, I just purchased on E bay 310692493971 item. The exhaust back box was very heavy duty, well made came with a new clamp and fitted straight onto my 2006 Td4 Facelift Freelander no problem, just thought I'd share it with You and £5 of that was postage a real bargain. Alan.

Has anyone experienced problems with the TD4 fuel temp sensor located in the fuel line on the nearside chasis under bonnet. I am trying to find out why my 2006 td4 over fuels at or above 2000 rpm when cold. The problem gets better when engine is at full temp. A friend of mine came over with a...

Might sound like a basic question but how do I know which gearbox is in my Facelift 2006 TD4 manual Freelander ? I have capacity info for both but was unsure of the differences between the two is the fill/drain plug a identifying feature as I see one has Allen key and one has large bolt type...

Well it happened, drilled out my broken glow plug thought all was going well until the end bit broke off in the head. I had seen a you tube video of what to do if this happens so tapped the bit through into the cylinder and removed the injector expecting to just fish out the broken end with a...

Well Today while waiting for the arrival of my broken glow plug drill kit I carried out a couple of the waiting jobs on my Td4.

Well it was inevitable I suppose on my 2006 TD4 facelift number 1 and 4 cylinder Glow plugs sheared off below the nut even using a torque wrench set at 20nm so there was no chance really. I have watched numerous vids on Youtube so am going to buy one of the £30 kits off Ebay to drill out and...
