Before I take my Freelander 1 2.0Di down to the garage to plug into their diags machine, I would appreciate some pointers on an issue with the red engine management light that has started coming on the dash over the past few days Light comes on after about 10mins from a cold (eg overnight)...

Hi all, could any L series drivers out there tell me what RPM theirs is doing at 70mph on a normal, flat dual carriageway/motorway in 5th? I've just had the gearbox replaced on mine (old one was grinding and jumping out of reverse). All seems OK (reverse is perfect!) but it seems to rev a...

Hi all, appreciate some advice on my 2.0DI manual. Basically it jumps out of reverse - it started off doing it only occasionally but now most of time accompanied by much crunching when you try and get it back in. When it first started doing it you could get around it by switching off the...

Morning all, I would appreciate some advice on the issue I have with my Freelander DI - I'm more or less positive its clutch related but unsure whether its master/slave or the plate itself. Symptoms are: difficult to engage gears while engine is running (especially at low speeds), high take-up...

My local (very good) garage diagnosed a faulty airflow meter on my Freelander DI after I reported a sluggishness in acceleration and an increase in fuel consumption. I duly replaced the part myself as they could not get hold of one that day but I'm not convinced things have improved that much...

My 2000yr Freelander has the standard 15" alloy wheels, I've been offered some of the 16" versions - will they fit straight on or do I need new bolts and wheel nuts? (Tin hat on but I was taught the stupidest question was one that was not asked ....) Many thanks Jonathan

I have a 2000 Freelander L series and the speedo is not working - all the other dials work fine - rev counter, gauges etc. The mileometer/trip just displays '------' It's a bit intermittent, but if it does not work it does not do so from the moment you turn the key, if you turn off and...

.. and no, it's not the wife ... My 2000 year Freelander XDI has developed a low but constant tinny whine while in motion (backwards or forwards). It's low but audible and disappears when the clutch pedal is pressed. Initially it was only really noticeable at speeds above 30-40mph but now...

Hi all, Are these suitable for an old runabout 2.0DI Freelander or are they for a specific type of vehicle? GT RADIAL LIGHT TRUCK TYRES 15 INCH RIM - 195R15 GT MAXMILER 8PLY - 4x4 Tyres Thanks in advance :)

Hi people, I would appreciate your advice on a rattle on my L Series. At first I thought it was fanbelt so replaced this but no real improvement. Rattling sound at idle which goes away when engine revved, sounds to be coming from alternator, belts area. When engine turned off it sounds off...

Any advice on a problem with my L series would be appreciated. Had a 'rattling' noise from direction of fan belt for a week or so and starting to think its time to replace it, especially bad in morning when engine cold. I had a similar noise last year and my friendly mechanic changed the belt...

Gents, I would appreciate some advice with my Freelander L series. A couple of weeks ago I posted a message on here regarding a banging I was getting when reversing on lock - it was regular (like as if per each revolution of prop), very loud and would almost shake the vehicle - it was coming...

I'm getting a loud clonking from underneath when reversing left or right in my 2.0DI (V reg, 105k miles) - I'm assuming that my IRD is about to let go? No noise (yet) going forward or even reversing in a straight line and otherwise all seems OK. Any advice would be apppreciated. Sniffer

Is there a way of locking and immobilising my Freelander 1 (1999/V) without activating the alarm? I am going on a longish ferry crossing in August and the ferry company ask that while onboard vehicles are locked but alarms are turned off, presumably to stop them going off if it's a bit rough...

I know there is replacement relay available that will activate a dash light indicating my caravan/trailer lights are working. I had a Witter towbar with dual electrics fitted to my '99 Freelander XDI last year by a local specialist. All is well, the lights work and there is a beeping when I...

How long would a garage charge to change the glow plug behind the fuel pump on an L series? I know the alternator, fuel pump etc has to be removed to do this one. I've done the other three no problem and it starts 95% better but I want to get number 4 one too as the old ones didn't even light...

I have a strange noise coming from the front offisde wheel area of my L Series 5 door. Anys suggestions would be appreciated. If I did not know better I would say it sounds like someone has left a couple of marbles in there and they are rolling around!! - it only seems to happen when I am...

Can someone recommend some good quality glow plugs for my 2000/V reg L series? My Freelander is very difficult to start from cold, usually in the morning. It turns over with smoke from the exhaust for sometime before firing (sometimes I don't thinks it's going to go at all). Fuel filter and...

Any advice on my L-Series Glow Plug relay mystery would be appreciated ... In order to try and cure a cold start problem on my XDI I purchased a new glow plug relay (part YWB100560L) from the local Land Rover dealership. According to the Haynes manual the relay should be a yellow one and is...

Can someone be so kind as to post a link to this Roverron unit for a Freelander L-Series which is 'about £75' to boost the power to 129bhp?. :) I can only find a unit which is £159...:( Cheers
