My local garage here in the south of France is generally very good - but every time I take the car there, they always say it's so old that it's not worth spending money on repairs! I couldn't disagree more, I've owned my freelander for about fifteen years now, and I still love it and want to...

Thanks for that, I'll have my local mechanic check that possibility out too. The real difficulty is that I'm in France, and my local garages aren't too well acquainted with old Freelanders...

It does have identical tyres all round - not sure if the least worn are on the back though. Maybe it's worth adding that the yellow descent control light comes on occasionally - mainly when I'm on the road and driving slowly uphill...

Thanks for your reply, I'll have them checked out. By the way, am I OK to drive just now or is it a serious problem..?

Hi folks, my old (but well maintained) Freelander I TD4 has developed a rather loud rumbling sound whenever I shift down to second gear to slow down. Before I shell out another small fortune to my local garage, does anyone have any idea what might be causing it? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks for your reply. I'll have it checked ASAP.

Thanks for your reply. I THOUGHT the culprit might turn out to be the wiring being reversed after I had the clutch fixed recently.

The reversing lights on my 2001 TD4 only come on when I engage first gear - as does the rear wiper. Anybody got any idea what could be causing the problem..?

Hi, I have an intermittent fault with my 2007 petrol engined Freelander 2. Sometimes when starting, it fires up OK and then just dies after a few seconds. If I rev the engine quickly, it generally keeps on running, but it's really bloody annoying. Anyone had a similar problem and knows what the...

Hi, can anyone tell me if there's a Haynes manual for an 07 petrol engined Freelander 2? All the ones on Ebay are for diesel engines. Thanks.

Hi. I've got an ex military series 111 109. I had planned to fit a power steering unit when I could afford it. Now Chris Perfect components have ceased trading I don't know where to look to find a suitable unit. Any other members fitted one of these units? Any helpful advice? Cheers Sandy 109
