Thanks for all the replies. The problem was, as mentioned here by some, a hole in the prop gaiter. Can't fix it for the moment, though have dabbed a bit of glue on the small hole to see if that, optimistically, will do the job while I continue my holidays!

Thanks for the replies.... I guess it's time to get the gaiter replaced.

Hmmm... Is it easy to do? I'll do a search on that!

Oil level seems fine... ; (

The oil I can see is either dripping onto the prop near to where it connects to the engine (I'm not very mechanical minded!) because it is being sprayed onto the underside of the car, or it is being ejected from the prop itself from the rubber seal part. But if that was the case would it be...

Thanks! I'll check it out

Don't think it could be the prop? haven't gone through any water recently here in in Spain : )

Thanks for the speedy answer! Where roughly is the breather to see if that could be be the cause??

Hi all. Got what is a strange (at least it is to me and a local mechanic) oil leak under my 2006 TD4 freelancer. I've attached a photo to see if anybody has any ideas. It looks like oil is spraying out of the transmission, but surely that would be a different colour, right? My oil levels seem...

bollocks..... it's .mov file converted to a zip thingy. Maybe it's because I'm a mac user. Hmmmm, I'm going off to buy a x-trail and a pc.

If this has worked you should be seeing a zip file of an irritating noise I hear every time I turn the key in my 2005 td4 freelander. It's coming from behind the instrument panel. The first noise you hear is the key being turned and the second is the silly buzzing sound. Is it normal? Could it...

Thanks for the replies... I'll probably end up doing something to the engine although no doubt will wait til the warranty runs out (two more years)... still wondering if chipping or whatever actually is good for the engine as in making it more reliable. It would be interested to see a...

I guess my question is based on what I've heard about the bmw td4 engines as used by landrover- i.e. the freelander engine management system doesn't do them justice. So that's why I ask. But then again I am a mechanical moron:)

2005 td4 searched the forums on this one and find a clear answer, so here goes. It's obvious that chipping improves performance, but would chipping make your engine less prone to turbo problems (or any other typical td4 reliablity probs)? What do you people think?

My two pesetas worth. The truth is this forum can seem pretty scary for a future freelander buyer with such a lot of scary stories and negative comments. In the Spanish forum that I check out the scene is quite different and the majority of questions and posts are regarding mods and such...

Thanks for the tips (I too felt it was a little strange that the turbo could actually reduce power, but hey ho), I'll try out what you advise. And let you know the results. thanks again.:cool:

Thanks fiddler, I'll try and see if i can register..... though I somehow doubt it. Took the car in today and mentioned this issue of brief power loss at about 2500 revs and he said that I was probably noticing the turbo kicking in. Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder. Does that sound normal to any of you...

It sounds like it could be it. I'm trying to get into the landrover owner site and find those bulletins fiddler was talking about. Will let you know if I can get a read of them...

Well, thanks for the replies. The rear wiper problem is already solved by finding out it's not a problem.I thought that the rear wiper didn't stop when I wanted it to. However, It was something I noticed every morning as I reversed out of my garage cleaning the front window with the wipers. I...

I've posted a query about this on antoher thread but perhaps I should have asked here. (that's a covert apology to those people who've been complaining - or is it whinging?:) - of people repeating questions) The power loss problems discussed on this thread all seem quite drastic compared to...
