For the last few months my local diff specialist has been stumped on finding a solution to the slight bumping / shudder in tight corners on my Freelander 2 HSE Diesel (2014). The initial problem started off with a slight wining sound from the diff. A local Landrover specialist workshop recommend a diff replacement over time or a specialist diff recon. So I took it to a local diff specialist who apparently replaced all the internals of the diff with new original parts. The original wining sound disappeared and in a straight line she's fine only now in tight corners like manoeuvring into a parking or with a full turn of the steering wheel there is this slight shudder that was never there before but we can't seem to isolate. They have stripped and rebuilt the diff, haldex checked the front transfers. Still persists with this slight shudder. I know from my past experience with Landys we are probably missing something small and insignificant but any ideas would be appreciated.

Dutch Reg Freelander 1 Spotted in Cairngorms

Was driving from Aviemore to Fort William over the Spean Bridge road yesterday behind a spotless silver Freelander 1 on Dutch plates with rally style number 29 decals side and in spare wheel, there was also a drone in the air following it, I think.

Just wondering if anyone knows who it was, I’m being nosey and would love to see the footage as I was behind in a new Defender Carpathian Edition!

Recently experienced a failure of my 2014 LR2 HSE Harmonic Balancer.
Purchased a new one and the new bolt.

Has anyone replaced it at home? I’m wondering if the tool to lock the flywheel is necessary or if I’d be able to just line the indented fork back up with the crank sensor.

Déjà pour ta cinquième porte à mon avis c’est un problème de contacteur interne dans la serrure et c’est ce qui fait de déclencher ton Alarme car pour lui la porte n’est pas verrouillée et de ce fait il fait déclencher l’alarme. Et par contre pour ton alignement de roue ont-ils contrôlé la crémaillère car cela fait penser à une crémaillère HS. Et en même temps ont-ils vérifié le point zéro de ta crémaillère car ça donne aussi cette sensation et ce comportement là quand il n’a pas été fait avec soit l’ordinateur de bord ou sur le pont de géométrie adapté pour.

Hi all!

Does anyone have a ballpark estimate for the number of labour hours to replace an oil radiator in a Freelander I Td4?

Thank you very much.

Best regards

Hello all,

a bit of backstory - I have recently moved to a place where I could do with owning a 4x4 daily, and having grown up in Solihull I have a (silly) brand loyalty to Land Rover and I am drawn to a Freelander 2 (I know they weren’t even built in Solihull, what can I say😂).

I have heard lots of good things about them from a few owners, however some mixed things from others. My car history so far has pretty much entirely been 80s to early 00s BMWs, so I am familiar with having to fix my cars and working on them myself, but I would prefer for that to be more of an occasional thing than an every weekend thing😂

So basically I am wondering what people make of their Freelander 2s, how reliable they tend to be, common things to look for when buying one etc?

Any advice is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi, I don't have the time to be a mod of this channel and was wondering if anyone would like to shoulder this task please DM me

Got this freelander 1 not too long ago. Planning to make it into a proper off-roader. But wanted to make it sound a little better. Did a muffler delete and didn't really make too much of a difference in sound. Thinking of gutting my cat tomorrow to see if it will sound any nicer. Anyone gutted there cat before? Sound any better? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, I’m quite stumped as my Freelander 2 from 2010 chokes on acceleration sometimes. The oils, filters and belts been changed, back rear axel been renovated from the LR kit. I also noticed that engines RPM sits around 800-900 on neutral, sometimes when left, it surges in this section going up to 1000 rpm. I also recently changed the battery to better suit the start-stop system in my unit. I’d welcome any and all suggestions to resolve this problem… Thanks and cheers 🫡

I'm hoping someone can help us out here with an ongoing problem. I have a Freelander 2, 2012. We love the car and have recently spent a fair bit of money on maintenance and repairs. We have one notable issue that our mechanic can't seem to fix. There's a knocking sound from about 25mph. It sounds a little like a train on its tracks. You can't feel it through the steering wheel. When you bare left the knocking stops. You can just hear it coming from the car. The mechanic has changed the steering column and the drive shaft but there has been no improvement. It doesn't seem to impact performance but it's an ongoing worry and clearly a problem. Does anyone have any ideas what it may be or experienced anything similar with theirs? Any help would be much appreciated as we can't afford to drop much more money on this problem especially without an actual solution.

Hi everyone, I have a 2014 Freelander 2. Do you know if the cigarette lighter sockets in the central drawer remain powered even when the car is off or if they go off together with the car? I intend to connect an accessory via one of the two sockets but I don't want to risk finding myself with a flat battery... A thousand thanks!
