    Oil in coolant reservoir

    Yeah it’s a right messy shambles and really didn’t need it (but then who does) I’m just hoping the cost isn’t to hard hitting and to car is ok for a while after. Bloody hate cars. They are very convenient but the cost to run and the constant devaluation causes sleepless nights when it all goes...

    Oil in coolant reservoir

    Well Bibbady ball bags. On Easter Monday me and the wife were heading home and my Freelander 2 TD4 2008 got crazy hot and shut down. Called out RAC and there was no oil in the engine (even though I topped up that day after leaving it for ages) ended up a huge amount of it was in the coolant...

    Discovery Sport Buying a Discovery Sport advice

    Previously had two Freelander 2 cars and looking to move upwards to a Discovery Sport 2016 HSE My only concern is that it has 100,000 miles but quite a few for sale are around that mark above and below. I know there are the haters that just say NO but is this a decent purchase and how much do...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Intermittent shaking when accelerating

    I just thought, if it was a faulty injector, would that show up on the diagnostic report?

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Intermittent shaking when accelerating

    That sounds just like mine to be honest. Sounds stupid but I have no idea, is this an expensive fix?

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Intermittent shaking when accelerating

    I'm having an issue with my Freelander 2 2008 where the wheel and dash area shakes sometimes of acceleration. Key factors that might pinpoint the issue. - It started happening after the drive belt was replaced - Only happens when accelerating, not whilst moving (coasting) - Seems to be worse...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Dash shakes when accelerating

    Hey, Hope someone may be able to shed some light on this issue as I'm stumped. A fault has occurred on my 2008 Freelander 2 Diesel. When I accelerate when hitting between 35 - 70 mph the dash starts to shake. It varies on how bad with no common link to why. I had a mechanic look at it and the...

    Oil top up FL2

    Great advice, really appreciate it! Yes, sorry it's a Freelander 2 TD4 S - 2007 - Diesel - Automatic I had a major service in February, starting to think that Halfords may have done a shoddy job on the oil check :/ Not sure why the oil is so low, to be honest, there is a leak patch where I...

    Oil top up FL2

    First and foremost I should say. This FL2 2007 is my first car. I’ve had it over a year now and learning as I go. I still feel I know nothing about cars and never had a father figure to guide me. Instead I have Google and YouTube That said, the following my sound stupid. I checked the oil in...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Wipers stopped

    Dumb question I'm sure but how would I do this?

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Wipers stopped

    Just looked at the fuses and noticed the ABS and Wipers are both 30's so switched them around to see if that made a difference: Sadly it did not/ Wipers ran better though but stuttered. Cycled between 8 and 10 times struggling more near the end then stopped again. Guessing it's not the fuse...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Wipers stopped

    It is intermittent. It started, moved a couple of times this morning and then stopped again. Also, ordered fuses and will switch when they arrive. Thanks folks, I'll keep you updated

    Sorry to here asking for advice. I am new to cars in general and we all have to learn somewhere right. Freelancer 2 - 2007 TD4 S Diesel I was driving tonight and the front wipers just stopped, pointing upwards like a Mexican wave. I was on a dual carriageway but luckily the rain was just...

    I don't have a snow mode, it's quite a basic model, wheel are just the standard ones.

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Brakes in snow juddering and not working

    I did think it was ABS but it seemed worse when driving very slow, like between 5 and 10 mph and it just didn't work or slow me down at all which when heading to a roundabout was bloody terrifying :| Also it was the brake pedal that was vibrating and making the noise. Acceleration seemed fine.
