try stripping it dowm and giving it a good clean. Mine caused problems when I got a sycamore seed stuck in it. you can get at the mechanism without removing the headlining although it is fiddly Cheers John

The 18 inch wheels are prone to tramlining. As said, check your tyre pressures. I am running goodyear AT's and they lose pressure very easily. (yes the garage that fitted them has checked them) Obviously, if any bushes are worn then you will get problems Cheers John BTW for the picky ones amongst us.

Apparently it is the O rings on the block that exits the engine that cause the problem. When you replace the harness, you still need to check the ECU for oil whilst it works it way out via capillary action. Urban Panzer has a good write up on his website www.discovery2.co.uk Cheers John

When I changed the battery on mine it changed to km's. Diconnected the battery again and reconnected it and it was back to miles. I don't know if it wa a gremlin or it should happen like that

Are you a MAN or a MOUSE? When you find out, pass the cheese, I'm hungry:)

I think Freelanders are more prone to problems with different tyres front and back

Belt tensioner?????

My tyres are the same size but goodyears. I have 34 front and 44 back for around town and 36 front and 46 back for motorway which seems to give me the best mpg Cheers John

Squirt some wd40 at the belt tensioner whilst getting someone to rev the engine. If it goes then that is your culprit

As far as I know they are different

If you get a tiny hole in the pipe then you wouldn't get a large amount of fuel out but it would let enough air in to cause problems

Check the fuel pipes. They are prone to chafing on the chassis/bodywork and let air in. Common point is where they bend down over the fuel tank

More fiddly than difficult to change. You can either lie across the engine to reach it or if you are a short git like me stand on something Replacement is the only reliable option. Cheers John

No problem. I will send my number via pm.

If you get the door card off then you can curse whilst trying to raise the window. You should be able to prop a length of wood in there to keep the window up. If you want to pop down to mine then I will happily scratch my head whilst you scratch your head Seriously, I replaced both the drivers and passengers door regulators. I am located just off the A580 (Woodside pub at Ellenbrook) I am not doing much this weekend so PM for my number and address if you want some help Cheers John

Was there a clank or noise of something falling in the door? It sounds like the regulator mechanism has fallen apart. It is a relatively easy job to fix but very fiddly if you have big hands. Make sure that you have some torx bits to hand so that you can get the motor off the old regulator Cheers John

I thought that I had got to the stage where I didn't want to get oily and frustrated trying to fix cars so I bought a Td4 Freelander which was good and I had no problems with it. Unfortunately, (and fortunately ) more grandkids arrived so I needed the extra capacity that a Disco offered. I have a D2 TD5 and apart from a few glitches I can say that I am glad I made the change. To give an idea of size, I got a 2 seater settee in the back of mine. If you are handy with a set of tools then you will have no major problems. Download a copy of the rave cd - it is much better that the Haynes book of lies. It also has the added bonus of you can print the relevant sections out and if they get wet, oily, stood on then it isn't the end of the world. Cheers John

Sorry about the delay for the pictures. I couldn't find which memory card they were on Link for the pictures http://community.webshots.com/user/MRDIITD5?vhost=community If you are stripping the mechanism down (easy peasy honest) then do one side at a time so that you have a point of reference for reassembly. The rave cd reccommends that you put the glass on after you have refitted the sunroof to the vehicle. I found that it was easier to position the glass more accurately whilst the sunroof was on a workbench. Before you fit the sunroof, put a good size bead of mastic on the plastic surround that comes into contact with the roof. When you tighten the undertray to the sunroof, excess mastic will be squeezed out and is best cleaned off when it has cured. Cheers John

I will download the pictures this week and resize them to post on here. My front sunroof doesn't work either so I will get around to it one of these days

You can remove the finishing piece around the headlining and pull it down enough to see if the pipes have come adrift. Removal of the sunroof is fairly straightforward - just fiddly if you don't remove the headlining. My sunroof had jammed open and I had to remove and strip it down to sort it out. Turned out to be a sycamore seed jammed in there. Should have some pictures somewhere if you need them John
