2.2 diesel auto. Had a new master cylinder about 8 months ago. Pads are all good. BUT. I have to keep bleeding a ton of air out every single week. I've checked the non return valve, can't find any leaks, all pads and calipers seem to be good but every week the fluid is just full of bubbles. I'm...

Hi all....... this must have been on a thousand times but I'm desperate. Drove perfectly. No trouble engaging gears. New master cylinder already. No signs of clutch wearing out. Parked up, pedal flopped to floor and will not recover. Ive had all the usual quotes to surrender my kidneys for a...

Hi all...just wanted to say...removed my rear drive components yesterday. 52 TD4, 130,000. Guess what......I did not use a jack or axle stands. It was relatively easy. There are absolutely no adverse effects and in fact overall as a road vehicle it is miles better. No wheel spinning. If this is...

Hi all, my heater fan seems to be making an annoying squeeking noise. All works ok though. Can I just splash it with WD40.

Hi all, 52 td4 sport. I have come to a dead end trying get my rear window and wiper working. I did the reset on the rear window and it worked fine. However it stopped working again almost immediately. There is no problem with the opening and closing of the rear door when it drops and raises...

Hi all... got a 52 td4 sport. Can I gas the ac easily or is it a garage job. Any pics would be helpful.

OK..got a new HG..expected that...but since it was fitted a couple of strange things have happened. When I press the swith to lock the rear window..it does nothing. The window works fine. Whe I release the switch (unlocked position) it locks the passenger rear windows. This seems to be a...

I have noticed that there does seem to be far more posts about problems with diesels.....in particular the TD4. When I bought my 1.8 petrol...just about everyone I know sais...what did you do that for. It seems I made the right choice if we all believe in the law of averages. Dont get me...

Not sure if I have found a scam here. check the list of alternative fuels..e.g 'vin diesel'. and the delivery...posted through your letterbox. Seems a little suspicious to me. Petrol Direct - petroldirect.com hmmmmmmmmmmm

Joined the 'new head gasket' club recently and at the same time had new timing belt and a few little useful bits. My question is this. To carry out all of this work..would the mechanic remove the undertray to make access to the engine easier. The reason I ask is that I have noticed that mine...

I want to fit some new discs and pads to the front of my 03 1.8 petrol. How easy is it and are there any pitfalls with buying parts from ebay for example.

Hi folks, having been the previous onwer of a very nice rangerover and now a very 'nice' freelander, I am yearning to get a real one oand go Off Road. I see a couple of options. Dedicated off roader, not road legal or road legal and a little more sensible. Advice would be appreciated I am...

Well here I am ..shiny new head gasket..cam belt etc and a few peripherals. Since it was all put back together (incidentally, never even consider an AA warranty) the rear window lock doesnt work. You know the switch on the centre console. I wondered if it might be a fuse or sommin. Any help...

I am ...semi interested in removing one of the shafts to help imrove performance and fuel economy. Any advice appreciated...pictures are nice too

Hi everyone. Daft question...can I adjust me clutch pedal travel or is this an indication of wear. It has a very low bite point and I hardly release it from the floor before she wants to go. No usual whirring sounds during acceleration indicating wear and no difficult gear selctions forward...

Hi all, I recently bought my 1.8 petrol serengeti and despite several members opinions I am very happy with it. It comes with an AA warranty...so not too concerned however, when I drive it, it makes a strange whirring sound, very similar to the road noise caused by off road tyres. I initially...

Hi again, any advice on length of service for the above. I am on 53k and 2 things seem to happening. 1. I think the clutch is on its way out. 2. I think wheel bearings could be on their way too. There is a funny whirring sound as my speed increases..sounds just like the pff raod tyres on a swb...

Hi all, My 1.8 petrol seems to be using loads of water. At least once every couple of weeks it is below the min level in the reservior. The temp gauge remains normal and I cant see any leaks. It has done 53k with full service histroy and although there doesnt seem to be any record it...

Hi, just bought my first freelander and its great. Except it only has one key and fob. Called the local dealer and I nearly called an ambulance when they told me the price of the key...£94.75...and the Fob...£70.00 including programming. There has simply got to be an easy way around this....HELP.

Hello everyone, ex rangerover owner, now reduced to freelander, but its nice.
