Evening all... So the Hawkeye Total arrived today :-) To recap - have a Facelift Freelander TD4 Commercial bought as a project. Starts and ticks over just fine, but hold it at say 2,300 rpm it misfires a bit with smoke and diesel smell. Has error code P0100 - Mass Airflow Sensor Short...

Evening all, I have a July 2004 facelift Freelander Commercial which I bought as a project a year ago and I've just got around to it (now I've finished welding my Disco...) Anyhow it has a few issues and I want to get a OBD something where I can read the engine sensors (fuel pressure, MAF, MAP...

So I got my latest £500 project from flea bay... this one in fact ...

Evening all... I'm back after a two year abstinence from Land Rover. Back with two of them actually, a 2004 Freelander Commercial TD4 and a 1997 Discovery 300Tdi. That's what happens if you ignore all the warnings and go drinking and bidding on e-bay..... Anyhow the Freelander TD4 is a...

Just found this link on a Volvo XC forum. It doesn't have any Land Rovers in it but is an interesting watch and makes you think about how a 4WD system with electronic aids (traction control) works. Old cars are used which may have faults so it doesn't imply that any are better than others...

I expect this has been said before but 02 plate TD4 failed MOT today on both front ARB drop links rubber covers holed. They are less than 1,000 miles old, were £19 a set from e-bay. Lesson learned.... Very frustrating as everything else was ok...

This has been discussed a few times now, just thought I would add my experience. A few months ago I repaired x3 windows on my FL1 with kits from the Window Reg Shop on ebay. "How To" videos on You Tube were excellent, but some kits had parts missing or incorrect parts. Average cost about £14...

I recently helped a mate with a early L-series FL1 and changed a few brake pipes. When bleeding the system, I got the impression that the brake fluid had never been changed, very milky and full of cloudy guey patches. I completely bled the system and drew through around 250 ml of fluid on each...

In front of the battery on my 2002 TD4 manual there are three relays, one yellow and the other are blue with integral fuses. Does anyone know what they are for? The yellow one has fallen off and apart, one of the blue ones has melted slightly near the fuse, but all electrical systems seem to...

On my '02 TD4 there are three relays mounted in front of the battery, one is yellow and the others are black, but have fuses on them. I noticed the other day that one of the black ones clicks several times, but minutes apart, after the engine has been switched off. Also, the yellow one has...

Having debated a bit on here recently about tyres, I decided to measure some of my own. I have a spare set of 4 x 16" Freelander alloys on that I bought from a friend who swapped them for 17" jobs a few months ago. The are shod with winter tyres, 2 x Pirelli Sottozero and 2 x Cooper Weather...

Hello all, just got myself a 2002 Freelander TD4 project on e-bay. 131k but runs very well, has full history etc. The owner sold it because of a problem which he has spent £1,700 over 8 months trying to fix. When driving it runs okay but then the MIL lamp comes on, it then runs rough at low...

Hello all, I've just bought myself a 1986 110 Project on E-Bay (Item number: 140499743600 if anyone is curious) which I plan to restore and modernise a bit. I've always messed about with cars and have restored/resurrected various vehicles from Triumph Spitfires, Jaguar XJS, MGF, even a Volvo...
