Bell Engineering, who I believe to be specialists in all things transmission related, take the following view "It has been reported*on some*internet sites*that to test the VCU if you* jack the one back wheel of your Freelander without the handbrake applied you should be able to turn the rear...

A replacement ( not new) diff has been fitted to my 2003 TD4. I now get a whinning noise, which gets louder at higher speed, along with a droaning, pulsating, noise. Any thoughts? Dodgy diff? VCU? Didn't get these noises before - although this is better than the stench of diff oil I was...

My TD4 2003 was on for a service and MOT last week. 2 new tyres were fitted to the front - it was my local independent who has been excellent. Had the debate about putting the tyres on the back - he said it wasn't required and they would be fine on the front. First real run with it today -...

Driver side rear door has gone - despite being new only 18 months ago. I've taken it out and stripped it - barr a slight kink in the cable, everything looks intact - looks like the cable has just slipped off the wheel and got tangled. Does anyone think it should go back ok? - time caught up...

Over the winter, I had a leak. Thought it was the sunroof, but it transpires the bolt that secures the arial had come slack - presumably through brushing snow off the roof every morning and moving the arial. The water ended up coming through the front courtesy light - connectors corroded and the...

TD4 2003 100k Finally got around to having someone look at the problem I've been having selecting reverse gear ( 5 or six attempts before it allows you to go backwards). Had a new clutch 3000 miles ago , linkage etc has been checked and the general consensus is that the gearbox needs...

1998 125k on clock. I've currently got a Freelander, so I'm aware well aware of common faults. What common faults are there with the RR 2.5 DSE - what should I be looking for and what questions should I be asking? Thanks in advance.

Got a new clutch fitted on my 03 TD4 about 3k miles ago. When reversing, I select Reverse ( obviously), but when moving backwards; the gear occassionally disengages. Any thoughts?

Air Con hasn't been blowing cold, so took it in to be filled. Been told that there is pressure, but the compressor isn't functioning - not switching betwen high and low pressure. They think I need a new compressor - am I right in thinking these are around 500 quid !! It's a 2003 TD4

New clutch fitted on my TD4 ES 2003 about 5 months ago, but I often have problems selecting reverse. You think you've selected it - but nothing, then it sometimes appears to "pop out". Any thoughts to the cause of the problem? Thanks

Since mine ( TD4 2003) came back from the local expert, I've notice oil spots on the driveway. It was in for a new clutch - engine out to gain access. The pipe that receives the dipstick had a build up of oil on it - also looks like oil has been hitting the fan - resulting in a nice oil...

Bought a TD4 ES 2003 privately around 4 mounths ago. Recently developed a problem getting it into gear. No problem with pedal. but struggling to get into 1st or reverse - especially bad on cold mornings or if the car hasn't been used for a few days. Read about the possibility of the cylinder...
