Hi all, I have a clunk sound every now and then from the rear. Sometimes (but not often) it'll happen when I am cornering but most commonly it occurs when it is changing down through the gears (auto). I can only describe it as a single "clunk" sound from the centre rear of the freebie. I have...

Hi all, I was hoping that someone may be able to help... Over the past week or so I have been noticing an intermittent vibration that seems to start after I have been driving for around 10 miles or so. It seems to be coming from the front end and is intermittent - sometimes there, other times...

"Dear Prop, Thank you for always being there, transferring power to the rear wheels when needed last week after a brief period of snow. Unfortunately since then the weather has been better and I'm sorry but being around you recently has felt like something of a drag. I think it would be best...

Hi all, This evening I was stuck in a traffic jam for quite a long time (ambient temperature about 5 degrees). I noticed that the cooling fan kicked in a couple of times. The temperature gauge didn't go above normal and there were no strange noises or anything at all. Later whilst driving back...

Let the fun begin ;-) Andy.

Hi all, It was coming to that time when the MOT needed to be done so as I was having a power steering pipe replaced, I asked the garage to put it through the MOT and waited anxiously for the news. The bad news was that it failed however the good news was that it was only on a track rod end...

Hi all, Perhaps someone can shed some light on this for me... This morning when I started the freebie I heard a strange sort of sound. I didn't think much of it until I turned the steering wheel and a sound like a large cow "mooing" was emitted from the driver's side under the bonnet. It...

Hi all, After a short run this evening of about 8 miles I got home and drove forwards onto my drive which slopes downwards. While the engine was still running I popped it into "N" and took my foot off the brake to just let it roll slightly forwards but nothing happened! I then put it into...

Hi all, I want to have a few small jobs done on my freelander and I'm keen to find out if there are any independent garages near Dudley (Black Country) or Birmingham. Failing that, perhaps an experienced forum member who has the tools and would like to earn some extra post christmas cash would...

Hi all, I have had my V6 for about a month now and all has been well except for initially I'd notice if I had been driving for a while and then started idling that there'd be a slight "sound". I couldn't quite figure out what it was. It appeared to be coming from under the driver's side bonnet...

Hi all, Just a quick question about tyres... I noticed that my Freelander's tyres don't all match. On the front are Kumho Solus 215/65/R16. The rear has Goodyear Wrangler 215/65/R16. I understand that the tyres need to match left and right but do they have to be identical front to rear also...

Hi all, I bought my Freelander last week. Now all I need is some snow! Last year I remember getting my S type Jag stuck in snow in November. Here we are in mid December and not even a little slush on the roads. Knowing my luck it'll turn out to be the mildest Winter on record or something...

Hi all, I recently bought my Freelander and the clock / radio display had a number of pixels missing, so much so that it was unreadable. I purchased one from a Rover which works ok although it has a red display and doesn't look as snazzy as the Green display. My question is... Is there an easy...

Hi all, I bought a freelander with a softback a few days ago and I'm thinking of doing away with the softback and replacing it with the hardback as I expect it'd result in less wind noise and provide a higher level of security than the softback. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who had...

Hi all, First of all my apologies if my questions have been asked previously - Unfortunately I couldn't see any topics relating to the questions I have in mind (please be gentle ;-) I purchased a Freelander on Saturday. It's a 2002 V6 Auto. Beofre parting with my cash I drove it around and...
