    Tyre noise or more sinister!?

    My 2009 Freelander 2 also developed a vibration/droning sound at 80kph. After checking all the obvious, and replacing the front diff bearing, as a last-grasp idea, the dealer swopped my tires around, putting the 2 new ones onto the rear, and vice versa. Problem solved - no noise. I'm still...

    Tow ball weight limitation

    Using my diesel FL2, I intend to tow an off-road caravan (about 1250 kgs when loaded) that has a nose weight greater than 150 kgs - closer to 180 kgs I estimate. The FL2 manual clearly indicates that although a nose weight of 150kg is permissable, up to 250 kgs is possible with a proportionate...

    Thanks Vissie. What you described is exactly my experience - a resonating sound especially when travelling uphill.

    Vibration in 6th Gear

    Last week my FL2 was again booked in with the dealer to try and solve the noise/vibration that was evident mostly at 2000 rpm when the transmission was placed under load. At one stage the propshaft was removed and this totally eliminated the noise so the dealer came to the conclusion that it...

    Vibration in 6th Gear

    My 2009 diesel auto FL2 has a transmission vibration that is most apparent when in 6th gear with engine under load, such as when driving up a hill. As soon as gearbox changes to 5th gear, or when the road levels out, vibration ceases. My Land Rover dealer cannot find the cause, although their...

    Intermittent Background Motor Noise

    The noise I am hearing (easily audible) occurs mostly after coming to a stop with the engine still idling - it's then that I hear what sounds like an auxilliary motor slowing down before stopping. The noise occurs more often when the engine is fully warmed up than when it's cold. Could this be...

    Continuing problems Freelander 2!

    My 2009 FL2 diesel (ex-demo) has done only 30,000 kms and has just had its steering rack and power steering pump replaced after a horrible whining noise. My dealer in Cape Town claimed they found metal filings which is consistent with the other comments I have read on this issue. When this fault...

    Intermittent Background Motor Noise

    My 2009 diesel FL2 has an irritating noise that sounds like an electric motor with a bearing that is running dry. The noise is heard intermittently, but is mostly noticeable after coming to a stop when, for the next 5 -10 seconds, it sounds as if an auxilliary motor gradually slows to a stop...
