Hi, thanks for your comments. I'm still trying to see if there is a split turbo hose, probably won't be sure until I can view the car during daylight hours (probably Saturday) the air filter element is pretty clean so I don't believe it's that. What do you mean by fuel cut off bypassing? It...

Hi all, I took a look last night and I don't have the engine breather filter as mentioned by Willo on my vehicle. I guess that's because it's an L series desiel model. Tried looking for split hoses with a decent LED torch, can't see any so far but will look at weekend in the daylight. Can...

Thanks for all your comments. I now know that the cause of the white smoke is oil passing the turbocharger seal. Also as suggested the excessive revving was caused by the engine running on the oil. Last night I started the car again, it runs and sounds fine, the only issue is the clouds of white...

Hi all , I think I have a turbocharger problem on my 1999 Freelander 2.0DI. On Friday I suddenly heard a whirring type noise from the engine, it was easily noticeable over the normal engine noise. Then today I was warming up the car on the drive before trying to replace the thermostat ( I...

Hi all, Is there one standard part number for the L series 2.0DI engine. I have a 1999 model Freelander. I don't really want to remove the part and then find I have the wrong replacement to refit. I found a picture on the Famous Four parts website, is this what I want? It's described as for the...

If your pedal is going down nearing the floor over time and you're having difficulty getting it in gear then you probably have a leak from your clutch slave cylinder. I had a similar problem about 2 years ago with my 1999 Freelander 2.0DI. The reason the clutch master cylinder says do not remove...

Hi all, I have a 1999 2.0DL station wagon, had it from new. Heater used to be fine. In the last couple of years it has only started throwing out any heat after about 30 mins driving, even then not that much! Engine temp indicator is normal as it always has been. last year I tried the...

Hi, Yes it is a squealing noise, I'll try the WD40 on the belt. Otherwise I'll look at the pump bearing. Thanks to you both for the responses, I'll post again if I cure it. Regards, Howard

Hi all, I have a 1999 2.0 litre diesel Freelander (L series engine). This week it has started to produce a noise when I turn the steering wheel through about 30 degrees or more in either direction. I have checked the power steering fluid level and it seems to be fine, there are no leaks...

Hi Mad Hat Man, My Freelander is a 2.0 litre L series diesel, so where do I find the bleed point you say is just below the distributor? I don't have one do I?

Hi all, I have a 1999 Freelander 2.0DL with an L series engine. The heater reamains cold most of the time even after a 10 mile journey, especially in the colder weather of these last few days. Last summer I did the modification to change the coolant flow pipes so that the EGR and heater...

Thanks for that information :)

Hi, I own a motor factor and accessories shop. A customer requires a steering wheel glove for a Land Rover vehicle. It seems that the wheel is larger than the standard products that fit sizes around 14.5 to 15.5 inches. Unfortunatley the customer doesn't know the type of Land Rover as it...

Hi, I just acquired four 16 inch second hand alloy wheels for my Freelander (2.0DI station wagon model 1999), they are those manufactured by Alloy Wheels International. Markings on the wheels are: 7J x 16 x 57.0 AH2 The five mounting holes on the wheels are clearly way to big for the nuts...
