hi guys my neighbour has problems with his freelander, i dont know what year or model it is but its an auto, all the electrics work and we tried jump leads but it wont even turn over, the only things we have tried is ensuring the gearstick was in park position properly and then disconnected and...

sorry guys i forgot to update this, i replaced the sparkplugs and the ignition leads and its running sweet now, i have no idea how old the leads were but i reckon old :D anyhoo its amazing what a set of plugs and leads do and a nice new air filter oil and oil filter.:D i got my leads from a...

i assume the fuel filter is ok, have you tried the lift pump in the tank they are not very strong and can fail

replaced the air filter, oil filter, oil, sparkplugs, ign leads. apparently there is no fuel filter :eek: now the rangie is going much better now, feels like it should do. the main problem with it not running well was the ign leads the problem with the cruise not working was the leaking...

look back at my picture, the last 'blank' switch on the left has been modified and a tiny speaker fitted behind it and a bit of speaker cloth covering the hole. as this is not oem sat nav im assuming they had to fit a speaker somewhere

no mate the wee cloth bit above the clock is where the sat nav speaker is fitted.:)

i just bought the 3 filters today oil air and fuel, mine is a 2000 4.6, so im wasting my time looking for the fuel filter then:confused: p38spares.co.uk have a service kit including a fuel filter for my model:confused:

thanks mate is this something i can access from below the car:)

well thats great news i now know its not a fault, is there a way of adjusting the gear selector so it goes into position corectly ?:)

MASON where is your alpine sat nav speaker, mine is behind the wee bit of cloth to the left, the speaker is faulty, can i just replace it with any small speaker that fits in there;)

my auto gearstick is not locating properly, this gearbox was meant to have been rebuilt while sirus the moderator had it as he lost drive with it a while ago. anyway i can put it in D and move it into position 3 without using the button, once it is in 3 i can move it about a lot, from D i can...

i tested my ignition leads my removing one by one while the engine is running, some were arcing out from a couple of inches away from the engine yet some i had to put the rubber sleeve right against the engine to arc out, does this sound as if some are giving me a stronger spark that others...

everything working , except the heated seats, except the sat nav speaker, except the air con, except the passenger window sticking, except the non existent jack and wheel spanner. Honesty just dont exist these days, thats a forum mod for you eh, tell you any písh and have me travel 350 miles...

i have just been a run, my cruise is working just fine and the car is driving a lot better after cleaning up the plugs, i still feel it is down on power slightly you feel it more so at kickdown, ill give it a service and see how it feels after all that has been done. :)

hi i read your thread, i have never had to replace leads unless they were actually faulty, i think the dealers are telling porkies if they say they should be changed with sparkplugs, if the leads are sound why replace them, i hope you get your problem fixed matey:cool:

i had searched and read about the split vacuum hoses, i checked mine and bingo they were split, i had hose in my garage the right size so i replaced it and not my cruise is working great again. i have adjust the throttle cables as these were very slack, the throttle and cruise cable, so ill...

i had the plugs off and cleaned them, a couple were rusty on the nib so i cleaned them all up, the leads looks like they could do with being replaced also and the air filter. whats puzzling me is why is the cruise control not working properly either, if i set it when driving at 60mph it just...

i did not notice any improvement with the maf plug off, i timed myself to 70mph and 15.6 with the maf on and 16.5 with the maf off. with the maf on i got 11.6 secs to 60mph and i think it should be 9.6 secs im reluctant to just go buying things in the hope i find the fault, my next move was...

it does not do it when initially pressing the accelerator but it does do it higher up the rev range, more noticable in 3rd gear (auto) i had an audi tt with a faulty maf, to make sure it was the maf you had to disconnect it and it went a lot better with it unplugged then it was the maf, does...

in the last week my 4.6 p38 has not been running very well, i refilled with fuel in case the petrol had been the problem but its still the same. the engine is hesitating when accelerating but its ok at pulling away, its like its missing or starved of fuel, there is a bit of vibration from the...
