Hi all, and hello, special hello to the older part of the people around here. It's been a while, quite a while, since I was here last but I'm in a completely different situation now and only half or even less than half of the time at home and very busy taking care of my girlfriend. I have a...

Hi all, Being a member of the Freelander section I never had a look at this RR site but now I did as I have a question regarding the behaviour of a mate's RR TDV6. He's owner of a tyrecenter and every now and then he has to drive with a flatbed trailer loaded with a customer's car on it. When he...

Enjoy.... A DRAMATIC SURPRISE ON A QUIET SQUARE - YouTube

Two times in the last couple of weeks it happened that I just heard a "clic" when I tried to start the car, the first time it was just 1 clic and at the 2nd attempt the starter "took", today it said two times "clic" and at the 3rd attempt the starter took and started the car immediately. Guess...

While driving uphill today I had the impression the car lost power. Also the autobox started changing constantly from 5th to 4th and back again (rpms going all the time from 1700 to 2400). Also heard a strange noise and when I hit the pedal I saw black smoke coming out of the car. Back home I...

Last sunday I've participated, for the first time, with the Belgian Freelander Club at a roadbook event as it was called. I really had a good time, in a couple of weeks there's another one coming up and if all goes well I'll be present again. It was supposed to be soft but due to the rain in the...

Hi, I'm pretty sure it's been covered before but can't find, sorry in advance, but is it correct that one has to dismantle the whole front dashboard in order to be able to replace the little bulbs behind the ventilation selector (and other selectors) above the cigarette lighter/ashtray ??

Hi all, Don't know whether I'm going to be bashed or helped but I'll take my chance. In the past (some years back) I think someone showed a lay-out of the cooling/heating plumbing system on his L diesel engine after he modified this in order to have a better heating in the car. Have tried to...

Hi all, As you already might know I am of the lazy kind of humanity (not because of but largely favoured by my +68 ages:D:D:D) so can anyone of you good people give me a list of the LR parts numbers of things needed for a normal oilchange for the Td4 model years 2001 (pre face lift), such...

Hi all, In line with the other thread: What MPG do you get from your Flander, I was thinking of changing my FL for a new car, what do you people think about ?? (Looking forward for your reactions, especially those from the would-be LR side, tratter boyz' or how do you call them ???:D:D:D)

Sorry but I can't find the thread in which people said they had knocking noise in the steering when running over bumps. I have the same problem when running over traffic bumps of rough terrain, this on the left hand side (LHD car), around 2002/2003 on the US (Yank) Freelander forum (at that...

As, since a couple of days, I heard a whining/whistling noise in the car I found out that when I switched off the interior fan the noise disappeared, so this afternoon I took it out and oiled slightly the axle of the turbine, after refitting it a short run gave no noise but will see or rather...

Hi all, Sorry if this has been covered already but if so I must have missed it and therefore my request. When bleeding the brakes I always was having the idea (since about 40 years) it should start with the wheel the fartest away from the main brake cylinder and to work towards the closest...

I know I'm going to be prosecuted and haunted down like a mad dog but tried the search function without success. Don't know the correct English name for the bl... thing so most probably that's why nothing showed up. Anyway I'd like to know the name/function of that small "looks like a petrol...

Hi all, Glad to be able to tell you my Hippo passed with flying colors the yearly technical control (comparable to your MOT). I noticed that the exhaust test gave as value 0.58 which I think is very good. I have to tell that the last 10 kilometers before the control station I drove in "manual"...

Hi all, Have a rather uncommon question in mind and I wonder whether there is an answer to it. As I'm thinking of keeping the Hippo as long as possible, as the SWAMBO is suffering of a bad back, as I assume the seats in the Disco/Range are more comfortable than those in the Hippo, I had, in a...

Hi all, Sorry if this was covered already in the past but haven't seen/found anything similar. Question is: the transmission of the FL1 has the VCU to adjust the power to the rear axle, this when slipping frontwheels are detected. What system does the FL2 have please ? It's not a VCU, is it...

Heard today that on Subaru forums the name given to the new FL2 is "the groundscraper" because the groundclearance of the FL2 is 21 cm. where the groundclearance of the Subaru Forester is 21-1/2 cm.....:o:o:o (0.5 cm difference only.......):D
