Yeah it’s all dry, since fixing the seals the only place I get pooled water now is where I’ve circled on the pic, as you can see there’s a bit of water there now, but it’s been relatively dry for the past week only a small bit of rain during the night

Right, been out and took more pics, sods law that it was dry today… however I found some other parts that are damp with same “fluid” I’m starting to think it actually is water but no idea where it’s getting in if that’s the case. The usual suspect fish tank is dry and surprisingly is the least...

would there be fuel around the sender locking ring? I’ve had that cover off recently and it was all dry although I haven’t attempted to remove the sender and seal as I assumed I’d see fuel around it if it was leaking

Where I’ve circled is where I find little surface droplets

Turbo hoses are all relatively new, replaced few months ago, including the vacuum hoses. I’ve never topped up the brake fluid in 11 months of ownership so I don’t think it’s leaking, I’m also fairly sure that leak was visible last year after it had some welding done although not as bad as now...

Tested brakes no leak is apparent and the reservoir appears to still be full, although I will double check it. Is there any pipes inside that bit that could be leaking? My only other thought is maybe something from the engine is leaking and it’s running down and pooling at the rear, the closest...

So here’s some more photos I’ve taken today, as you can see it’s the length of the whole car, Towards the rear there is occasionally small droplets on the metal, no drips to the floor though

Ha! It’s had be baffled long enough I may just try that! But then of course I’d have to then go and taste other lubricants to compare

Interior is dry, have previously sealed both the sunroof and the tailgate.

Any ideas where it could be coming from? My first thought was fuel, either from the tank or the lines but I would expect to see issues with starting etc if that were the case which I don’t have

Yeah I’m making a start with electric wire brush, only thing is, that black part runs the whole length and is more drippy towards the rear

Yeah it has had both outriggers replaced

Sorry! Thought it had uploaded, not the best pic either, ignore the rust for a moment :oops: that black mark running down that part near the outrigger is the one I’m referring to

Hi guys, hoping someone can shed some light on this as it’s got me perplexed. Some sort of leak in the chassis/frame? Not sure what it’s called, leak doesn’t hit the ground but it’s speeding up the rusting of the underneath, I’m assuming it’s some sort of fuel or oil leak but not sure.

Update: dodgy fuel pump sound has been fixed, the issue was the sedimenter hoses letting air in

So have accessed the fuel sender, can’t see any obvious issues but I suppose it won’t take much for air to get in? Should there be a clip on the feed hose?

I had considered that, I used the pic below as my ref, on my filter it has in and out written on each end which I’ve put on the pic to show which way I have it. The connections are all nice and tight and I’ve wiggled hoses when it’s been on to see if there’s a change in sound but there wasn’t...

This is driving me insane! I need another Freelander to test pumps on as it seems odd that 3 different pumps all don’t prime correctly :mad: diagnostics I’ve done haven’t brought up a fault, no eml either and a local garage couldn’t figure it out

So… have put in an old cheap fuel pump, still doesn’t prime in the usual 45 second time just goes on until it times out. Although it doesn’t seem as bad a noise as the Pierburg but something isn’t quite right, I was under the impression that it’s self priming so shouldn’t need air bleeding out...

I suppose the question is, is it the pump that’s faulty or something else?
