    No reverse has struck my Freelander. Labour cost of box swap?

    well it now goes into sport mode when slid over so thanks Nodge for pointing me to that. However F4 flashes up still. i seem to find it happens only as soon as you go into 4th gear, if i turn car off and on then it goes away and doesnt come on again until 4th gear . Now i must say it still...

    Well i just dropped it off there and found this info to hand him so i reckon hopefully this will resolve it . will let you know once i get it back, pretty sure it will resolve the gear selection issue, just hoping it will resolve the f4 issue. as i said before it drives, changes gear and pulls...

    i know, like i am on good terms with the guy so im kinda stuck. my query is , is this something easily rectified at their end in your opinion. I mean its not like they have to take the gearbox all out again? i dont want to just walk away as im pretty much committed and mot due soon. thanks...

    hi Nodge, i took it back down as it also had a real noise when it was idling and when i revved. something plastic hitting off a pulley, but he forgot to take a look at this gear position issue and f4 flashing. Am i right in saying this is mechanic error when he has put the "new" gearbox in . ie...

    No reverse has struck my Freelander. Labour cost of box swap?

    It’s second hand Nodge68 , from Higgins auto Coleraine , purchased on Ebay just yesterday. It only went on a few days prior. They appear to have a good rapport from talking to a few. I seen in England on Ebay there’s a place that you drive the freelander in and they refurb it at £875 which would...

    No reverse has struck my Freelander. Labour cost of box swap?

    Thanks, I was recommended Jamisons by the place I bought the box, however £485 plus vat would bring it to near 600. Yikes! Having a word with my local mechanic tomorrow to see if he’s up for it, surely any competent mechanic could swap it out or as I say , is there things to watch for which make...

    thanks nodge68 and a big thanks to Arctic2. i had thought even prior to this happening over last few weeks that the freelander had sounded a bit noisy. Hopefully this will dramatically silence the tractor a bit? i ordered the corteco part from ribblevalley4x4ltd on ebay as unfortunately being...

    Hi Arctic2. Thanks for the info . It sure sounds like that jackhammer video you put up. I'm no mechanic , just trying to get ahead before taking to mechanic. Are we betting our bottom dollar its that pulley then in that case? Also how safe is it to drive . I drove maybe 20 miles this evening...
