The time has come to depart... the FL and my other car are been traded in. I collect a Citroen C-crosser later in the week.... yeah yeah I hear, its French and unreliable you cry.... but the 2008 model im buying was made in Japan by Mitsubishi on the same line as the Outlander (and Pug 4007)...

FL 04, TD4.... when started it gives out a bit of blue smoke that clears quite quickly and dont seem to see it when running. Any ideas on what that points too, if anything? Steve

Hi, 2004 Td4.... Over last couple of weeks have noticed that the bitting point on the pedal is getting lower and lower. So much so, that its quite hard to get in gear now and the pedal is on the carpet. First 60% of the pedal travel doesnt do anything at all, just slack. Have described...

At the moment I am running a Freelander TD4 Commercial and a Skoda Octavia vRS PD. Both are brill motors, the freelander been awsome at what it does, will regret losing it, has been fantastic for me. Problem is, my wife doesnt drive so the Octavia sits at home for 5 days a week while im off...

Hi, Any ideas on the part number for Passanger side wing mirror, replacement mirror....heated version Off a 2004 Td4 commercial (3dr).... Is there Non genuine ones you can buy that are heated or have you got to get them from a dealer? Steve

Hi there... Have noticed recently that the idle on the td4 is quite lumpy and can feel a lot more of a vibration when the engine is running on idle. Feel it through the seat, steering wheel, pedals. Engine sounds a tad rough and when I start to rev it you can hear it as if its missing a...

Yesterday I saw a Freelander been recovered by a Transit van. It had the front wheels lifted off the ground on a dolly of some description while the rear wheels were on the road. Am I right in thinking that the VCU and IRD will now be goosed? By the looks of it, the freelander was been...

I had the prop bearings done (parts from BritPart) a few weeks ago along with the front pads (Mintex I think) and since then (unless had the stereo on too loud beforehand to of noticed) Im getting a strange noise from under neath. Definatly sounds like below the gears and handbrake or maybe...

Hi, can I ask a favour of someone please? I am convinced (or paranoid more like, lol) that my Td4 van aint riding as high as others that I pass, whether that be 3dr's, 5dr's or other vans. Granted, I carry some weight in the back but still seems to sit quite low. Would someone, preferably...

Hi, I managed to break the aerial today on a 3dr freelander. The "whip" itself screws into the mount but it snapped leaving the threaded part in the mount. So, can this mount be bought anywhere and how does one get access to change it? Thanks Steve

Had my TD4 commercial serviced as a homer yesterday and the guy doing it noticed that there was a split on the front prop bearing. Its not all the way through yet,maybe 60%. Rear ones seems OK though. Are these OK to buy from a non LR source as I know the LR ones are £60+ each? Im assuming...

What is the driving position like in a defender? My old employer often had hired 90 commercials on hire from SHB and after sitting in one, well more like after taking 5 minutes to get myself in, I did my very best not to have to drive one. Was the bad driving position due to been a...

Hi there. Had my TD4 04 commercial for just over 6 months now. It only had 12k on it when I bought it with a full LR SH. When 24k came I had it serviced at a local 4x4 specialist (Mike Aitkin) at a cost of £250, which to be honest I find quite expensive, even though I do appreciate that its...

Hi, 04 TD4 commercial. The rear brakes seem to be sticking on quite badly when left overnight. Particularily bad if I leave the handbrake on but seem to stick a little even if just left in gear. When pulling off in the morning, there is a crack or bang as the brakes free themselves. What...

Hi, as some of you may know I have a 04 commercial that I use for work as a telecoms engineer. Is there any kind of racking/shelving/trays/storage systems that are made specifically for the freelander commercial? Obviously the rear of the freelander is quite an awkward shape, even the...

Hi there all, Have a TD4 commercial freelander. As I use it for work, I carry quite a lot of weight in the back and notice that the rear end is quite low when fully loaded. Now I know that the ground clearance isnt the best on the freelander anyway but when loaded up there is a noticable...

Have non air conditioned freelanders got a pollen filter? Reason I ask is that I was charged for one on the last service. If it has one, where is it? Steve

Hi there again, I bought a 04/2004 Commercial Td4 a month back and thought I would share my thoughts and experiences now I have had it a while. Came with 12.5k on it and now up to 17k. I noticed on the test drive a small hesitation when dropping down to take roundabouts/junctions...

Hi, new member from Fife, Scotland. I am just about to start contracting and so been thinking of buying a van of some description rather than using my car (Octavia vRS TDi). Seen a 04 2004 Freelander Commercial for £6k + Vat with a tad under 13,000 miles (yes 13 thou) on it. Full LR SH every...
