Hi, My 02 reg TD4 has a funny smell around it only when running, smells slightly oily. Does it right from start, so it isn't oil burning off anything hot. I first thought a split turbo/intercooler hose, but have replaced all the rubber hoses on the air inlet system, flushed and checked the...

Hi The stitching on a seam on the bottom squab on my passenger seat is split and whilst I could get a new seat, it might be cheaper to get the old stitching repaired. Can anyone recommend a fabric seat repair place? It looks easy to remove the fabric from the seat squab, so location isn't...

Hi I'm getting a clonk when taking up drive from the front end of my TD4 even though I'm running without VCU/propshaft so suspect the IRD is on its way out :( Looking around, I have found that Freelanderspecialists.com have them at 650 + post. Has anyone had an IRD from them before? Any...

Hi, I have an 02 reg TD4 Freelander 66k miles that makes 2 or 3 cracking noises from the O/S front when I change direction on full lock. i.e. full left to full right and then pull away either forward or reverse. It only does it from standing, never if you are travelling even very slowly...

Hi, My FBH on the TD$ seems to run all the time, even when it's warm (ish) outside. I assume this isn't normal... Does the FBH make a whirring noise all the time, even when not "burning", or should it be silent when not being used? Cheers d.

Hi all, Just wondering, if I fit A/T tyres to my Freebie, is it then a notifiable modification that insurers need to know about? Cheers d.

Hi, I'm going to replace my VCU as it has started to get rough & grab a bit when the wheel is spun. I'm OK with most of it and the VCU is being replaced with new bearings, but I'm a little unclear how the VCU fits to the bearings? Is it a push fit, or is a press needed? I don't have easy...

Hi all, Trying to track down a power problem on my TD4 tonight and stripped the air intake piping, including EGR etc. Was surprised at how wet with oil it was - it was dripping in some places. This was in the pipes post turbo - pre air filter it was dirty, but not oily. The EGR valve...

Hi all, Does anyone know where to get a copy of Rave for Freelander MY04 onwards? All my copies are old as they only list MY01 on, and don't cover the facelift versions... I have asked most of those on eBlag and they only have the older version like mine.. Cheers d.

Hi, One of my rubber power steering hoses from the steel ones on the body to the steering rack is flattened along it's length, however the power assistance still works. I suspect the hose has delaminated inside, or is this normal? Cheers d.

Hi I have marked the VCU with 4 blobs of tippex and driven it for a while. The front prop marks are out of line with the others now, which means the VCU is working, however, the rear prop marks are still in line with those on the VCU body. Is the rear prop joined to the VCU body, with...

Hi all, Been reading through the various posts on replacing the rear diff front bush as mine clonks as most of the rubber has disappeared :eek: Just wondering if it's best to replace all 3 bushes at the same time due to the strain put on the rear ones caused by the front ones demise...
