Hi again all... My 2002 TD4 developed a wobble yesterday when driving on the motorway. It started off quite mild, then got pretty severe. There was no associated noise with it, the car turns on full lock fine (without noises), so I assume dit was the VCU bearings... lo-and-behold, they are...

Hi guys, thinking of switching from a dead TD4 Freelander to a nice 2003-2004 ES TD5 Disco... Are they a good, reliable car? I've heard that the TD5 discos are one of the best landrovers around (with comfort) for reliability... What are the common faults I should be looking for on a test...

Hi all, Following on from my previous post regarding my failing 2002 TD4, it died on Saturday... luckily right outside my local LR specialist (I just made it when it conked and wouldn't go again)! The guy plugged it into his AutoLogic thingamagik and it came back with an immobiliser fault...

Got an intermittent problem with my 2002 TD4, 5 door... Sometimes it won't start... it turns over, but won't fire. If I switch it back on, leave it with ignition on a few seconds before turning it over (until lights have gone off dash) it often starts straight away. Other times it just...

Hi all... long time since I've checked in here, but been busy with other projects etc. Hope you're all well... Over the last 6-12 months or so I've noticed the fuel economy on my TD4 has been a bit worse than it used to be (getting ~380 miles between fill ups, instead of well over 400) and...

Anyone got a working front wiper mechanism spare? Often come with a second hand motor, but you may have just replaced the motor on it's own. Mine broke at the end, but the motor's fine.... I've fixed it with a spring and it's working fine, but I do want to replace it.

Afternoon chaps, Intending to replace my sunroof guides this weekend and get the old roof working again (if weather is fine enough!) Anyone know the cheapest place to get a brand new set? Flea bay has them at £160 plus p&p, which is a fair bit cheaper than dealer prices. Can anyone do any...

Anyone had a new clutch put in a TD4? If so, how much did it cost? Mine's on it's way out and I'm trying to get the best quote, but most seem to be well over a grand! Willing to have an aftermarket one put in, such as a Borg and Beck, as they're probably better than a Landrover one anyway...

Where do I get one/them from and how hard is it/are they to change ? Want to do some preverntative servicing, so looking tio change (or even clean) the engine breather...

Welll, after changing the mount on the rear diff, the f***ing clunking noise is still there on full lock... Want to check there is oil in the diff, as I've a feeling there is none! However, can't get the friggin plug out as it's a funny square allen-key type hole. What size square key do I...

Amongst the many things that my Freeby needs doing are the anti-roll bar links... I've just ordered a couple, which hopefully I'll get tomorrow... Are these easy to replace for a competant DIYer... looks pretty easy, but should i book it in for this when i have the clutch done?

Clutch has started slipping on my 2002 td4... What should I expect to pay for a replacement to be fitted? Is it worth taking it to a Landy specialist or will a clutch specialist do the trick? Thanks in advance!

Okey doke... currently got the arse end up on ramps and am trying to suss out where the clunking is coming from on full lock. If I push the rear diff it does move, but it's as though it's supposed to... rubber bushes and all that. What am I supposed to be checking for?

Never really been bothered by this before, but I've noticed it more and more lately... When I go over a speed bump or drop off a kerb a bit too quick, I notice a resounding thud from the front right side of the car. It seems to be on the down side, rather than the up side of the speed bump...

Well fellas, thanks to the advice fixing my smashed door, I made it to and from bonny Jockland... Have to admit, out of 5 motors (04 Rangey TD6 Vogue, 06 Touareg V6D, 04 Kia Sorrento, Mitsu L200 Animal + mine) the TD4 5 door was by FAR the best off road! Every car, barring the Mitsubishi and...

What's next I'm wondering... After a successful weekend of getting a replacement door fitted perfectly, in the last 24 hours 2 more things have gone wrong with my hippo... Firstly, the powerfold door mirrors have suddenly stopped powerfolding! They were working fine this morning, but now...

Anyone know the best way of tesing a door speaker? The driver's door one on my 02 ES doesn't work at all (main driver, not tweeter). When I dissasembled it there was a drop of water in the connector which had obvioulsy run down the wires from the mirror housing. Am fairly sure it's the...

What size is the hex-head on a TD4 oil filter? Can't find a measure and my socket set won't fit it! Ta.

Well, after all that faffing around with the undertray and changing the oil etc, I was reversing down my drive with the door open ajar and my hand on the handle, when a gust of wind caught the door and blew it back.... it then got jammed on the fence post and before I could brake, it ripped it...

Gonna drop the oil on my td4 tonight... had a quick look at it last night and saw that the engine undertray appears to be rivetted on, with only two bolts holding it on at the back edge... Haynes manual says "remove screws". Do I need to drill the rivets and re-rivet afterwards or am I missing...
