I'm writing this on behalf of my eldest son who is not a member on here (but have told him to join). He was driving home from Bristol to Falmouth last week and was finding automatic gear changing was not happening as it should. The vehicle would stay in high revs before changing and then going...

Hi Looking for advice please. My son has purchased a 08 plate Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto. It was delivered to his house yesterday after a 260mile (give or take) trip from Coventry to Cornwall. He left it outside the house for 45 min and then got in to do the school run. Put the fob in the...

I know from trawling the forum that this is a common problem but I cannot see anything that helps my cause and would be grateful of any useful suggestions. I purchased a 1996 P38 2.5TD in May of this year. I knew it was a non-runner and required a gear box replacement but the car is...

Hi I have recently purchased a 1996 2.5DT Diesel P38. I knew it was a no-runner when I bought it but it was such a bargain, with only 112k on the clock and a full 12mth MOT. The seller had it in the garage for 12mths as it needed a gearbox replacement. Which he undertook in April this year and...

Hi all I have a 1.8s Freelander Mk1 (2002). At the moment is it fitted with solid discs but I know that I need to change these (binding probs). I usually buy my LR parts from Island 4x4 as they are really great on pricing (Euro Parts offer discs at £27 per disc and I can buy discs and pads...

Hi I think I already know the answer to this query but am just checking that I'm right. I have a 1996 P38 HSE Automatic. When pulling away, usually at speed up an incline, the message on the dashboard comes up stating 'Gearbox Overheating' - 'Refer to Handbook'. I have checked in the...

Hi Guys Having just purchased a second hand P38, which I loved when I drove it, 24hrs down the line I was due to start on a long journey and encountered the following error message 'EAS Fault 35 mhp limit' (or words to that effect. I called out the guy who I had purchased the car off (who was...

Hi Having just managed to get my Freelander 1.8 through it's MOT, I now find that the ignition switch is causing starting problems. The local LR Garage has quoted £67 for a new switch. I have hunted on line (1st Choice Spares) and can obviously find cheaper alternatives, which are 2nd hand...

Hi Guys Long time now speak. Touch wood not had any major problems lately ;) (of course now have jinxed myself). Anyhow, this is a small item that has been a niggle more than a problem for some time now so any ideas would be helpful. When I go to open the rear door (Freelander 1.8k btw)...

Hi I took my Freelander for MOT today and within an hour of my getting into the office the garage emailed me and said that they had a slight problem in that the vehicle had Overheated and boiled over during the emissions test :( Having been told by them that they will not be able to...

Am after some advice please. My hubby is about to change the front brake pads on my Freelander. We have removed the wheel, slid the caliper housing back and removed the old pads. All fine. But on putting in the new pads and trying to retract the brake piston to slide the caliper housing back...

A few of you may remember my saga back in May / June when I had problems with my 1999 1.8 Freelander. There was loss of power and no acceleration at all. It was sent to a garage after having all electrics done & new fuel pump. The garage could not solve the problem after 2mths of having...

Freelander (Petrol) 1.8x 5dr station wagon 1999 :( :confused: I am now in very very desperate mode. I have posted a few messages on the thread of 'Loss of Power at 70mph'. However, this has now gone way way beyond this problem. The gist of the story is that when you put your foot on the...
