Hi, not been a while. I recently had the dreaded loss of power issue on an lseries engine. The pedal was hitting a power floor around 3500 rpm. So I replaced air and fuel filter and intercooler hoses. Still the same. Then removed maf sensor and took it for a drive and viola. Issue now is the...

Hi all, Not been here for a while. I 've finally got my wife a different car so I can have the freelander back. I'm pretty sure the VCU needs doing, but should I replace IRD as a precaution? Also interested to know about best prices? I heard freelanderspecialists are conmen. Who...

Hi All, I have a 2000, 'W' reg XEDI Freelander. Looking for good value, but good quality steel wheels, with All Terrain tyres. What size can I put on my freelander? Will I need to use spacers or anything, I would prefer to put them straight on. Stefan

Hello All, Just noticed a slightly loose rear wing trim piece. It connects to the body pannel by connecting two clips. The male petrudes from the panel and the female is held on the face of the trim piece. Where can I get these little female white clips? Regards...

Need a good deal on a set of tyres for a Freelander. I'm told that replace the front only is bad and will kill my diff and VCU. I'm local to West Sussex. I do mostly road driving country lanes and occasional motorway miles. Stefan.

As the title suggests someone was waiting for my gf side on in her lane! Anyway I'm sorting the car out. The damage I can see is bent metal work in the nearside engine bay (near the battery), cracked battery, bumper screwed, headlight assembly gone, ballance box (ram air box) broken, wing...

As the post suggest every now again then front offside smells of something burnt. I had an inspection and there was a drop of oil on the bottom of the oil filter? This smell/taste doesn't to happen in sync with anything else. I thought that it may be an oil leak onto a hot pipe in that area...

I was out with the dogs yesterday. While exiting the car park we went over a big dip across the road as we turned right. For a couple of seconds there was a cogs turning/grinding noise? Can anyone explain this? Stefan

A few companies sell magnets that go on the fuel lines which are supposedly good the the engine and fuel economy. Is this a load of nonsense or worth a buy? Kind Regards, Stefan.

Buying our Freelander we knew the sunroof was cack plus it leaks a little so I was wondering how expensive the repair is? Or should I just seal the leak up and sack it off? Stefan.

As the title says. I have a 2000 XeDi and travelled to North Wales from West Sussex and managed 31 mpg at 70mph most of the way. How about you?

Hi chaps, do I have to press the lock button on the fob twice to arm the immobiliser or just once?

I call, once again, on everyone's good advice. I have a Freelander 1 XeDi 2000 reg. The lights in front of the sunroof are not working properly. When I lock/open the car with the fob they do come on and turn off in a nice progressive way, but when I try to press the button to turn them on...

Chaps, Replacing Gearbox, IRD and Rear Diff oils soon. Any tips? I'm planning on getting a level and getting the front of the car on axle stands and using a trolley jack for the rear of the car, then once I'm satisfied it's level I'll drain them and top up level with the screw holes...

I was wondering if I can drive my Freelander without the undertray. It's to go in the garage and I thought save them doing it I'll leave it off and then I can do the oils after they've done with it as well? Stefan

So chaps, I'm in the market for some new tyres in the next few months. What I was hoping someone of you great people could tell me is what are the originals for a 2000 W reg freelander XeDi l series diesel and what are good tyres. Best value for money if you could. Regards, Stefan.
