Could it be that someone has disconnected the thin pipe to the EGR valve? Photo might help.
-
Check the condition of the wiring at the hinge.
-
Phone the Council Rights of Way Office and get it from them.
-
Have you changed the crankcase breather, at the back of the engine? Seems to get missed on a lot of services.
-
Don't bother! The front ones are a pain to fit as you have to remove the wing liner before you drill the holes, and once fitted make it very difficult to clean the lenses properly, and the rear ones don't protect anything as they use the light mounting screws to hold themselves on
-
Check the condition of the VCU support bearings. From experience, they can make a tterrible noise when they are going!!
-
Thought it was on one of the door strike panels.

Advice on which has the biggest boot please
Llanigraham replied to Phil S's topic in Freelander Forum
Sorry LR Nut, but you are wrong the boot is exactly the same size. I know, I have owned both!! -
Restarting a '99 Freelander after 2 years
Llanigraham replied to Geminidawn's topic in Freelander Forum
The fan is on a thermo switch, so doesn't work all the time. Check the switch hasn't stuck off. -
And if you got caught it would be an immediate Sect59, so bye bye vehicle!!
-
1 No they are 4x4 partly all the time, with a small amount of drive to the rear that increases when the VCU senses slip. 2 Correct. 3 Check the condition of the rear diff nose support. These fail and cause that noise.
-
How do you know the HDC won't work? How are you testing it? Reverse light.....does the switch need adjusting?
-
Not that I've heard!
-
The fluid is the only thing that can be changed in a VCU and The fluid is not available on the "open" market. There is a firm in Blackheath, West Mids that do a re-con unit.
-
You can't in the whole of Europe, they have been banned from making them.
-
BH, those rear pressures are way too high!! Most tyre manufacturers say no more than 20% higher. Putting it up that high would suggest that you are possibly overloading the car.
-
In the kitcar world they swop the engine with it's ECU, and as far as I know no-one has yet fitted a different engine into a FL.
-
They should come with the bar!! What make is it?

Greenlaning in Builth / Brecon area

If you are on your own, the only one I would recommend is the dead end BOAT along the edge of Claerwen Reservoir. -
It has been done by standard Freelanders and I believe the mad 2CV crowd. In the late 60's and early 70's it used to be used as a "white" on road rallies anmd was thern done by Anglias and things!!
-
Unusual. Check the drain pipes from the bottom of the air con unit are clear.
-
Think they are all the same.
-
Check the earth straps on battery, engine and starter motor.
-
Check the levels and condition of the auto fluid.

As has been said, you have the L series diesel. Excellent engine that will go on for ever if serviced properly. Tyre pressures should be 30psi all round. VCU support bearings are about £20 each. Replace both. Can be done in an afternoon at home. Buy proper ones and not pattern parts!!
