    Honestly, how bad is it?

    Rest of it looks ok, not had any patches done around the windscreen or bonnet where water usually gets trapped and doesn't show signs of weakening elsewhere just at the footwells.

    Honestly, how bad is it?

    Hi All, As the title says, how bad is this bulkhead. It's a series 3 land rover and while the chassis is still looking good there is some rust on the bulkhead. Do you think this is a major issue that needs replacing asap, or am I over cautious? There is a bolt missing in passenger footwell so...

    MAP sensor Snapped Off

    Thank you, I'll order a new sensor (LR001324) today. I assume it's going to be best not to dive the car until the new one is fitted?

    MAP sensor Snapped Off

    Good afternoon, I've been having some issues recently with my 2009 Freelander 2 in that it shudders when stopping and it recently came up with engine system fault on the dash. Reading the codes it all pointed to the throttle body valve getting stuck, so cleared it and carried on. It then came...

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    Afternoon All, Thought i'd give you all an update on the car. I ended up changing everything at the rear for the handbrake plus 1 of the callipers as it started binding after replacing the rest. The 4WD ended up being a bit of a mission to sort with a lot of strange questions raised. Firstly...

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    Hi All, After getting it looked at in more depth it seems as if the Oil pump warning was just not cleared properly from the diagnostics, however i'm going to get the haldex serviced anyway to make sure. With the car in the air it was very clear that there is no movement in the prop shaft with...

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    Had the cars diagnostics looked at and it seems to be an issue with the haldex fuel pump (open to ground or short circuit). Going back in Monday to get verified and looked at more but they reckon it's the oil pump that needs replacing. Strange that I get no message on the dash though.

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    I've got it booked into Froggatts 4x4 on Tuesday for them to do a diagnostic so hopefully this and any other issues will be identified during that.

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    I have just gone to Mam tor again and it definitely seems to not be putting power to the rear wheels. I have attached a video of 1 side and have been told that it is the same on the other side. What do you guys think? I've double checked under the car as well and all the parts seem to be there...

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    Hi Avocet1 With regards to the back end i am unsure, it felt more like the front sliding around the back end. I am going to go try again today with my other half, i assume i am looking for the back wheels to be spinning (showing power is reaching them). With regards to lights, when DSC was on...

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    I didn't pull away at 4000 revs, I put it in GGS with DSC off and tried to pull away slowly just as I would in the fiesta (2nd gear and low revs). The thing was when I lost traction, I applied a little throttle as suggested on most forums, however that did nothing. I tried it again with a little...

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    I agree, I don't expect the Freelander to be able to do anything extreme. The reason I took it to mam tor car park was because I tried driving out of the village by my normal route and the car got stuck on the hill and ended up sliding backwards. As I was cm away from hitting the dry stone wall...

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    I'm not really sure as it's just me driving no one else to get out and check, however when spinning the front of the car feels light, almost skittish.

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    I've only ever driven a 2 wheel drive fiesta before. Never driven a 4x4 or off road at all before. I've got the fiesta in a fair few spots before in the snow, and never had any issues unless mucking about in a carpark.

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    I don't actually know, I assumed the guy who fitted it set them up to the recommended pressures. Would that have made an affect? I probably should check the pressures

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    I just put 4 new Scorpion Verde all season tyres on (Thursday). I thought I put that in the original post though, my bad if not.

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    It's booked into Hallams on the 3rd. That's annoying, did you manage to get up to the 3rd teir of the car park, that's where I got stuck, the back end was sliding on the other bits too.

    Freelander Awful in Snow

    Went for a drive today in my newly acquired 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 up to mam tor car park in the peak District to test out the TR in a safe location. And while it seemed ok, the moment I lost any momentum I lost all traction. I did what everyone said and put on the accelerator but I just ended up...

    Freelander advice

    Good Morning All, Just to let you know I went for the car. it's a 2009 SE with all the extras I wanted, lovely paint job, cared for and an almost full service history (missed 2015), on the test drive it drove perfectly with no clunks, bumps, or whirrs. Payed £5250 for it as it was 125k miles...
