I'm thinking of buying a Disco 2 with the TD5 engine. The model I'm looking at is the ES auto. How does the 4 wheel drive system work? I mean can it be selected/deselected or is it locked permanently in 4 wheel drive (If so, what is the second smaller gear lever for beside the main gear stick?)...

Ref: Land Rover L series engine. Can anyone tell me where to look on the engine to find the engine number? I have gone over the engine but can find nothing that resembles the number in the log book.

Where can I find the engine number?

Hi, This is an interesting line of thought. My xedi has similar problem to Sarah's. Sometimes it idles and runs as good as new - smooth idle and hardly any exhaust smoke. Other times when the engine is not under load it runs rough, like it's misfiring and lots of white smoke; flat spot and when...

Well my problem has not been sorted yet (see my other listing from 10-11-13). Is there a fuel control relay on this car? I'm sure it is over fuelling. Put th eengine under load and she runs well. Go to idle and it's rough as hell and smokes like hell. I took the pump off and rebuilt it so I...

Hi, Can anyone shed some light on this problem before my faithful old '98 Freelander gets a close look at a box of matches? Starts on the first turn of the key. Sometimes it settles into a smooth idle (as smooth as a diesel can be) and other times it's as rough as a bears arse. Cold or...

My heater fan recently decided to stop working on speeds 1 and 2, and some time later on speeds 3 and 4. I knew it had to be the resistor pack. Great in winter when you're misting up. I was told by a Land Rover garage that he had none and there was an outstanding back order at Land Rover. And...

Thanks guys. Armed with cordless drill and off to do combat.

Stopped at a garage recently and a guy was having a flap because he had put 20 ltrs of petrol in his empty tank. The cheapest he could find someone to drain his tank was £185 incl. vat. Told him not to move his freelander and went home, grabbed an old Vectra fuel pump, 25ltr can, some wire and...

Hi Hugh, What mix ratio do you use? I also have an xedi and am keen to learn more.

The tool well in the boot of my freelander 1 keeps getting water in it. There are no holes. The door seal looks intact, but this might be the only way in, even though I can't see how it gets in. I removed the door sill and sealed under it thinking the water might get in using the recessed hinge...

My 1998 Freelander 2lt dxei has a full service history and 97K on the clock. I am led to believe this model has the Honda deisel engine. Anyway, the cam belt was changed at 67k. Last week the replacement cam belt failed. Caught me by surprise I can tell you. Has anyone else experienced premature...

Hi All, On one of the postings someone said stick th ekey in the tailgate lock and press the 'open' button. I did and it worked! Thank you. It even worked to lock the tailgate again. So, at least I can get the door opena dn locked until the new regulator assembly arrives. Thanks again. Rhodiejeb.

HI All, I have herad about a RAVE disc. Is this as usefull as people say, and if so, where can I get one. I tried searching eBay but had no luck. Thanks, Rhodiejeb

I have a 98 R reg Freelander Station Wagon that is in showroom condition except for the damned tailgate. It will not unlock and the window will not drop. Everything else works like new. I have checked the service history and this problem has not affected the car before so I guess it must be...
