Hi all. I have had a lot of bother with my TD4 and after researching these excellent forums I have got myself 4 replacement injectors which are used, low mileage and from a TD4. I am about to set out and change them in the morning but someone has told me that I won't be able to swap them as if...

Hi. After resolving a myriad of issuettes with my TD4 it passed its MOT today. The mechanic said that it passed the emission test but in his view was running quite rich. The car has never used so much as a drop of engine oil between services whilst I have owned it, but there has always been a...

Hi - Apologies as I seem to be hitting this forum a lot at present...but I am 3 days away from MOT and when I rev my TD4 through the gears it chucks out a fog of black smoke.......I checked all the intercooler hoses and they are spot on, (though one did pop off on Sunday, but it is now firmly in...

Hi all. I would be grateful for some guidance here, my 2003 Freelander TD4 has developed a problem. When I accellerate I can hear the turbo spinning up like it is succking in air, the engine is down on power on accelleration also. When I drive, it gets to around 2000rpm and gives a slight...

Hi, I am new to this as I have just bought a 2003 Freelander TD4, which is spot on. I have covered 700 miles in it this week and up until I was almost home it was faultless. As I negotiated a junction and came to a stop the idle suddenly became very lumpy and I could feel it through the...

Hello everyone! I have just bought a 2003 Freelander TD4 as I have always wanted one but have been put off up until now by the poor name it has in reliability. Whilst researching the Freelander, I was lucky enough to find this site and having read the forums I decided that I would just get one...
