hi does your freelander have air con ?
if it does it will do as you report when the a/c compressor cuts in engine rpm will drop and recover and cooling fans will cut in & out. also if a/c is switched off and heater controls set to screen a/c is also automatical turned on.
hope this helps
Hi theres no air con, The problem seams intermittent, sometimes comeing on from cold.

Thanks for the advice. the fan is only intermittent, Iam beginning to think the prob was related to the battery in the door locking fob as it has been ok since I replaced the battery.

Hi Ken
Have a gander round the site and search for Britpart related topics. You will find that their gear is not held in high regard.
It may involve a bigger initial outlay, but genuine spec goods or even proper branded LR goods will almost definately save you money, time and aggravation in the long run.

thanks Dan Iam realiseing this as I also found a worn engine stabaliser, all put on the motor aprox 18months ago. You would think parts from a company supplying parts to the MOD and others, thay would be spot on!

What are your tyres like?
Hi the tyres are allthe same type with aprox 8mm tred,no flat spots or edge ware. the noise seams to be under center of car with vibration around the hand brake leaver.

I used to run a rover420 l series and 200tdi rangie on veg oil+diesel, but added a heated fuel filter housing from a rover old rover 218d/ pergeot 205d. it warms with the hot water of the cooling system worked well for me hot or cold weather

Hi I have a 1999 diesel freelander, I replaced the viscose coupling (recon unit)and the bearings (Brit part) aprox 18 months ago. things have never been quiet. But just lateley rumbling has got louder, and then the otherday I started getting a loud howling noise.I can feal some vibration on the prop tunnel. I am now woundering if the bearings, coupling, or even the rear diff are faulty. Ive also noted ther is no way to grease the bearings! or have I missed something . Only used to series models and range rovers, Grease nips everywhere. None on a freelander( backward step I think) HELP PLEASE

driveing through town the other day, I had to stop quick and reverse out the way quickley for a ambulance to pass. When I pulled forward the TC, hill decent, & ABS lights all came on in amber. A few mins later tha went off. Later same day about 50miles later, we went over a bump and the lights came back on.
Has anyone any ideas wots going wrong, just had a recon IRD fitted, while she was on the ramp we tested the viscus coupling by useing 2 bars to turn the props against each other, and there was movement between tight,But tha turned.
All this is new to me as Ive only had older modelsS11-s111, RRs, no computers!
HHHHHHHHHHHHHELP

seeing how you are getting no fuel up the pipe , have you tried to blow down it, you should be able to hear bubbling or is the pipe blocked. There is no pump in the tank.
