Hi All, I've got a TD4, 2005 plate Freelander sport, done about 120 000 miles, well looked after. Has had recent fluid/oil changes, new fuel/oil filters and also recent crankcase breather filter change too. Driving for about 25 mins around the M25, loss of power down to 50 mph. Pulled over and...

Hi All, 2005 TD4 Sport - 110 000 miles. I posted about the VCU/drive shaft removal last year. Turned out it was actually a rear diff brush issue. As a consequence I had the VCU/drive shaft put back on the car last week and all seemed fine. However I took the car on a 60 mile motorway journey on...

Hi All, I've got a 2005 TD4 Freelander, around 100k on the clock. Last year I had the VCU removed as it was on its way out and advised best to get rid (or spend 1500 quid on a new one). So it's now effectively a 2WD. Just had a new pair of tyres put on the front of the car.........now I know the...

Hi All, so here's the issue. 2005 Freelander TD4 done 100 000 miles. Had the car serviced 6 weeks ago so oil change and new filter. Have done 1000 miles since then. Drove it for 20 miles yesterday. At my destination saw oil on the floor. Looking in the engine bay LOTS of oil around, mainly in...

Hi All, 2005 TD4 Sport, done 100 000 miles. In the last couple of weeks the car has used a lot of engine oil, much more than usual. There isn't an obvious leak, there is no sign of oil in the engine bay, the car is driving normally with usual power levels and no excessive smoke from the exhaust...

Hi, 2005 TD4 owner, 100000 on the clock. 6 weeks ago I changed the front discs and 3 weeks ago I changed the pads, so all nice and new. No problems for a couple of weeks. Now here's the issue. I'm getting alot of noise/squealing when braking at low speeds, particularly under 5 mph. I've cleaned...

Hi, So I've managed to locate/find out what was causing the indicator to work when indicating right but not left. If I push the fuse in with some force the indicator works on both but soon stops working when going left. Mate suggested it's the connection between the fuse and the fuse box. My...

Hi. Just driving my TD4 2005 Freelander home and out of the blue, ONLY WHEN TURNING RIGHT, I'm getting a noise that sounds a bit like rubber rubbing on metal. No vibration, no tremor in the sterring wheel, just this noise. Also makes this when the car isn't moving. Any suggestions? (I did check...

Hi All, Have a 2005 TD4. Have a recent issue that is puzzling me. When indicate to go right all is fine, when indicate left sometimes it works and other times it doesn't, no click or lghts on the dash board. Any ideas as to why it works sometimes and not others (there doesn't appear to be any...

Hi All, I've got a 2005 TD4 auto with 63k on the clock. I've asked for plenty of advice of late. Had an intermittent starting problem - since then have replaced the battery, replaced the fuel filter and had the RAC out. Problem seemed to point to a camshaft sensor BUT car wouldn't start just now...

Hi All, I've just posted a starting issue.....advice suggested camshaft sensor. Before I've had a chance to change that the car this morning won't start at all. Tunr the key and just get a repetitive clicking noise........no way near firing or turning the engine. Now, I've put a charger on the...

Hi All, We've got a 2005 TD4 - around 60k on the clock. Today my wife called to say it wouldn't start.....she'd got me to the station ok but it wouldn't start an hour later. A mate popped over and when he tried it it started ok. In the evening it started ok but when we stopped for fuel it...

I've got a 2005 TD4. Had to get the RAC out when it wouldn't start (turned over but wouldn't fire up). RAC said it looked like it was definitely the low pressure pump.........2 queries for answers please: 1. The RAC guy cleaned up the pump and since then the car has started without a...

So found a crack/hole in the intercooler hose, the longer hose that leaves the manifold. Ordered what I thought was the right hose (and only 12 quid so happy not expensive) but on delivery found that what I should've ordered was the whole PNH500190 hose which includes the sensor and the small...

Having used the great advice from other threads I've found I have a crack in the intercooler hose on the 2005 Freelander TD4. Clearly that has caused the black smoke and power loss. Advice sought is - is it worth it buying silicon hose? Suspect I'll go for straight replacement and wondered: 1...
