[Snaking]

Hi Matstone, If you sort your snaking out let us know, I have the same problem (52 plate) jigs about all over the place, on rough surfaces it rumbles. I also have a whine which comes in just over 70mph, it stops if I take my foot off the accelerator. I took it for MOT to a local garage well known for failing cars and it passed!. As fridgefreezer says everthing is fixable, its finding someone who knows what the problem is.

[ABS sensors]

IT might sound daft, but try cleaning the battery connections. My son had the same trouble after he repaired his starter motor.

The local LR garage changed his brake switch.no difference, took it back, left it with him, when I picked it up he had drilled a hole between the battery terminals and the clamps to make good connections and put a self tapper in, no problems since.

[URGENT ABS HELP Xreg TD4]

Hi My son had an xreg td4, it was running great until the starter motor packed up.

He fixed that problem, but the "three amigos" appeared plus the gearbox wouldnt change up above 3rd gear.A local LR garage

changed the brake pedal switch, still no good took it back to him, he said leave it with me I will have another look.

Next day I went to pick it up, he said I cant find any thing wrong, so I have done this, he lifted the bonnet, pointed to the

battery, all he had done was put a screw in each terminal (between the clamp and the terminal to make a good connection)

Problem solved. Give it a go before you start spending money

[TD4 Crankcase Filter]

Hi Declan

It is a BMW part - BMW dealership only.

I note from the forum that it fits my TD4 fine (1A....chassis series) BUT needs a small plastic lug 'modifying' to fit later engines - however it does still fit.

My oil change is due soon so it'll be coming off again and I will be looking to see whats occurred in there and giving it a flush out with brake cleaner before refitting!

Hi Rustymark

Just wondered how your cyclonic filter conversion is going? any problems yet? thinking of changing mine. Rob.p

[HEEELP! Smokey diesel]

Hi,

my Freelander 2.0 XDi (50th - if it makes a difference!) is chuffing out loads of white smoke.

It has recently had:

New head + rings

New water pump

New fuel pump

New turbo (actually 2, plus just rebuilt it cos the shaft was worn)

+ other stuff (pretty much everything!)

It isn't losing any water or oil.

The smoke gets slightly better after it's been idling a while, but as soon as I give it some gas it churns out clouds again.

Could it be a timing issue? It's the only thing left I can think of.

Grateful for any help

Hi Magnamus

have you changed the cyclonic filter? This causes lots of smoke, and also affects the turbo

[freelander TD cyclonic filter /crank case pressure]

Hello rustymark - thanks for the info, i have found it, although it is not specifically mentioned in the (halfords-haynes) manual, i picked one up from LR Barretts £16 plus vat. their seems a lack of info about this important small filter, LR told me that it has caused many turbo failures and they now recommend it be changed every 12month/12000 miles, my old one was solid with grey gunk and probably was the origonal.

Thanks All for your input - made in India ????? Chris H (Kent)

Hi Chris H

Wish I had read your notice a while back, its just cost me £215 for a filter and new hose and fitting after I had trouble on my holidays, I had a turbo hose blow off and another split,lost power and loads of black smoke.I had to have it done at Hartwells Of Oxford. Rob p
