On my 1999 1.8 Freelander, the electrical connector that goes into the fuel pump under the rear seat is knackered and causing issues. It is past saving, so where can I source a new connector from - I've had a google and cannot find anywhere to get a new one - is my only hope to cut one off a...

What is that all about?!?! With Sureterm, nothing has changed at our end. Completely std Mk1 Freelander. We were on some special Land Rover policy where you didn't earn no claims, but not sure about the one they have suggested as it mentions no claims bonus.

Well I finally managed to get my freelander to a garage to replace the fuel filter along with some other jobs, but unfortunately whilst there have been some improvements the car is not 100% It now starts without problem, but the idle is lumpy and the throttle response is sluggish, especially...

Hello, I have posted about this problem when it initially started, but I thought I'd summarise where I am now cos I'm stuck! I've got a 99 plate 1.8 Freelander with the dodgy 1.8 K-series engine. It has a strange starting and sluggish running problem that I cannot get to the bottom of. I...

In the freezing weather my T reg, 1.8 Freelander failed to start. I have replaced the Plugs, HT leads, Rotor arm and distributor cap and my Freelander now starts on the button, but idle is now very lumpy, the Amber TC and HDC warning lights are on and the throttle response is very sluggish...

My T-reg Freelander has been amazing in the snow over the last week, even bring our new born home from hospital at 2 in the morning yesterday! :) but unfortunately this morning it will not start. :( We've checked for a spark, and I can smell fuel, (I may have flooded it!) Any clues? Could it...

Is it true that freelanders that have been driven off-road are less likely to have the VCU/IRD issues? I read this in a Landrover mag the other day - had a search but could not find anything on here about it. Cheers.

I've just got the following codes read out of my '99 plate 1.8 Freelander at my local garage while they did the MOT: CODE001: Pump failure 1 (monitor line) CODE002: Pump failure 3 (pump sticking) CODE003: shuttle valve switch failure The HDC warning light is on all the time, but the TC...

Check the wiring loom to the fuel pump! My 99 plate 1.8 freelander failed to start, it was turning over, so pretty much assumed it was a fuelling issue. After investigation me and my Pa admitted defeat but luckily ended up with a rather enthusiastic guy from the recovery firm who had worked in...

Oh well, only a month or so in and my 1.8 freelander won't start this morning. Turning over but not firing. Waiting for the recovery guy to turn up. Oh joy.

Hello, I'm thinking about joining a Land Rover owners club, but there are so many I'm not sure which one! Any suggestions? Any that are cheap or free, I'm a bit skint! :( Cheers. :)

Well I've got a few minor jobs to sort on my "new" 1.8 freelander, but one of my priorities is to upgrade the stereo and speakers as I love my music! Anyone got any advice or links they care to share? I've fitted plenty of stereos before, but every new car brings new challenges, like what size...

Whoops. After umming and arrring I took the plunge and a bought silvery beige(?) T reg Freelander 1.8 XEi. Some may think I'm mad, but for £1500 I don't think it's the biggest gamble ever. The HG, timing belt and water pump were all done less than 2 years ago. I've already got a few things...

Well, I decided I was going to have the freelander off my mate, but I'm getting silly insurance quotes for it! They want more than for our Mk5 Golf GTi!!!:doh: Originally I tried the usual online companies and confused.com, and then I tried an online special Land Rover policy quote with...

Hello, I've been offered a 5dr T-reg 1.8 Freelander for £1500 by mate in the trader. To research I've had a look around t'internet and read a buyer guide from a 2006 Land Rover magazine my dad had been hoarding. :) It drives pretty well, is in great condition, seems to have been really well...

Hello, I've not got one yet, but I'm looking to buy a cheap Freelander to get me to work and as a work-horse. Never owned a 4x4 before. My only experience of driving a Land Rover was my dad's £700 Series II/III which TBH scared the crap out of me on the road at anything over 30mph, but was...
