The time to change your timing belt is based on either a mileage or a time e.g. 72,000 miles or 6 years. You should change the belt at whichever of these comes soonest. So, in this example, if you have only done 54,000 miles since the last timing belt change, but it has been 6 years since it was last changed, then it is time to change it, because it has been on the Freelander for 6 years. If, however, you have done 72,000 miles since the last timing belt change but it was last changed just 4 years ago, it is still time to change it again due to it having covered 72,000 miles.
Here are the intervals for changing your Freelander timing belt:
Freelander 1:
1.8 Petrol: Every 72,000 miles (120,000 km) or 6 years
2.0 DI: Every 48,000 miles (80,000 km) or 4 years
2.5 V6 Petrol: Every 72,000 miles (120,000 km) or 6 years
2.0 Td4: Never – the Td4 has a timing chain and not a belt.
Freelander 2:
2.2 TD4: Every 150,000 miles (240,000 km) or 10 years Pre 2012
2.2 TD4: Every 144,000 miles (230,400 km) or 9 years 2012 On
3.2 Petrol: Never – the 3.2 Petrol has a timing chain and not a belt.
Remember, if you need your timing belt changed We Can Fix It!
hello i have a 2008 Freelander 2 S TD4. Bought in in February 2024 and the time belt was changed 04.01.2022 at 250.535km and has been driven less than 30.000km since and yesterday 18.11.2024 the time belt went. Can you imagine why that could happen.
Hi Iris,
My apologies for the delay in responding.
It could be a faulty timing belt or it may be a fauly with the tensioner or idler – were these changed at the same time?
All the best,

Hi
I have a freelancer 2 2.2 black and white RS edition.
Gu63 so sept 2013
It’s done 152000 miles
Just replaced the turbo!
When do I need to change the timing belt?
Thabks
Hi Ian,
The timing belt should be replaced every 7 years or 98,000 miles, whichever comes first; hence if it has not been replaced before then it is overdue.
All the best,
Sue

Hi Sue.
TD4 & SD4 what are the best timing belt kits to use in your opinion please, ie Gates, ContiTech, Dayco, or Genuine LD and is it always best to replace the water pump, even if the car has only done 10,000 miles since the last time of changing the belts, therefore being changed due to year rather than mileage.
Hi Steve,
We always use Dayco belts and have never had any problems with them. Given the cost of the water pump we would recommend it is changed whenever the belt is changed, since you are in there anyway; however, given the very low mileage it would not be critical, but make sure it is inspected if it is not being changed – sometimes low mileage can cause more issues than high mileage!
All the best,
Sue
I have a 2008 Freelander 2 HSE 2.2 TD4 with 155K miles.
I recently had a standard service but was not advised that a timing belt service was overdue.
Could you please offer me a quote for a timing belt replacement along with any other serviceable parts you recommend for a 155k mile vehicle.
Thanks.
Hello Brett,
Given your mileage is below average your service schedule should be followed by age of the Freelander rather than mileage. Hence you should currently be having the 14 year service (and your timing belt is 4 years overdue). The 14 year service is just the larger B service, however, have you had the brake fluid and flexible brake hoses changed in the past three years? Have you ever had your drivetrain and gearbox oils changed? Have you had the Haldex serviced in the past 2 – 3 years?
The current cost of a timing belt and ancillary drive belt change is £581.70 including VAT.
All the best,
Sue
0780 9575 421
Hi Sue
I have a Freelander 2 TD4 HSE 2.2 2007 model. It has done 152000 miles now. I am guessing looking at the comments above I need to change the timing belt now. As I need the ancillary drive belt doing as getting abit of noise from the air con unit I am guessing this is from the belt need changing.
Thanks
Luke
Hi Luke,
Yes, your timing belt should have been changed in 2017 – it is due for changing every 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first – so it was due in 2017. Definitely worth doing as soon as possible, if you would like a quote please let me know.
If you are getting a noise from the air con then this is more likely to be the air con clutch or one of the pulleys, so look to change these at the same time as the ancillary belt.
All the best,
Sue
0780 9575 421
Hi Sue,
I have just purchased a 2008 Freelander 2. I believe it is due a timing belt change and I would also like to give it a service.
Could you please give me a quote for both.

Hi just purchased a 2005 (55) 2.0 Td4 Freestyle Hardback 3dr with 125,000 miles on. I’m confused does this have belt or chain and does it need changing please? Not been changed as far as I can find out. Had a freelander some years back, happy to be an owner again 😊
Hi Jo,
Great to hear you are a Freelander owner again – welcome!
Your new Freelander has a timing chain and it does not need replacing, so relax and enjoy.
All the best,

Boa tarde, quando abrimos a porta de nossa freelander 2 td4 2.2, faz barulhinho de injeção ou coisa parecida né? Pois bem… É normal, depois de desliga lá, este barulhinho continuar vir um bom tempo? E o que seria este barulhinho? Obrigado.
Ola Jose,
Obrigado pela sua mensagem.
Parece que o ruído que você está descrevendo são os sistemas de computador no carro ‘acordando’ quando você entra no carro e, em seguida, ‘voltam a dormir’, que é quando o ruído para. Se você pudesse nos enviar um vídeo do ruído, ficaríamos felizes em verificar.
Atenciosamente Sam
Hello Jose,
Thank you for your message.
It sounds like the noise you are describing is the computer systems in the car ‘waking up’ when you first get into the car, they then ‘go back to sleep’ which is when the noise stops. If you could send us a video of the noise, we would be happy to check.
All the best, Sam
Hello
I’ve just bought a 2009 FL2, td4 hse with 136k on the clock. I can’t see anything about a cambelt change in the paperwork. Can you confirm if this is belt or chain driven?
Thanks
Hello Laura,
Thank you for getting in touch, I am still new here at FreelanderSpecialist, so can you please confirm the engine for this Freelander and I will check with Nobert.
All the best,
Sam
Hello Laura,
Your Freelander 2 TD4 is belt and chain driven, the timing belt should have been changed in 2019 (every ten years).
All the best,

Hi Sue,
Much obliged for your site. Most informative!
I am thinking of purchasing a 2012 Freelander 2 SD4 SE. The vehicle has done 103000 km. The owner advises that the diff has recently been replaced. I’m wondering if this is cause for concern? Also, I see on previous posts that you recommend that the Haldex unit is serviced every 2-3 years. Could you please advise if, to your knowledge, this would normally be carried out as part of the diff replacement.
Many thanks, Phil
Hi Phil,
Congratulations on considering the purchase of a Freelander 2, they are great vehicles, I am sure you would love it.
If the rear differential has suffered at some point this is usually an indication of an external problem, generally mismatched tyres – check that all the tyres are the same make, model, tread depth remaining and air pressure. If the tyres are matched and there is no issue affecting the speed of rotation of the wheels, such as a sticking brake calliper, there is no reason you should have any further problems with the unit.
With regard to the Haldex sometimes the service is done when the differential is replaced but sometimes it is not – it depends on the garage who carried out the repairs and the customer as to whether they were willing to have it done. The oil will, however, have been changed for the Haldex as this is housed inside the differential.
Good luck with your purchase.
All the best,
Sue
0780 9575 421
That’s a great help Sue. Very much appreciated!
It’s a pleasure Phil.

Hi I have a freelander 2 td4 2.2 2014 there is 90000 miles on it does it need timing belt replacing thinks Patrick
Hi Patrick,
Yes, the timing belt on a 2014 Freelander 2 2.2 TD4 is due every 7 years or 112,000 miles, whichever comes first. So your timing belt is due for replacement this year (7 years).
If you would like a quotation to have your timing belt changed please let me know.

Bom dia, adquiri uma freelander 2 SD4 SE 2.2 DIESEL 2012/13
Gostaria de saber se é correria dentada ou corrente, e quando preciso trocar.
Obrigado.
Good afternoon Jose, thank you for getting in contact with us. The SD4 has a timing belt and it is recommended that this is changed every 7 years. All the best, Sam
Hi Sue
Can I clarify the SD4 cambelt change? On this answer it is 7 years, but on an answer back in 2018 for a similar model (20/14 SD4) it is 9 years. I may be missing something in the detail.
I am struggling to find a definite as dealers appear to refer to 9 years on every SD4 (I am looking to buy a 2013-14 model).
Thank you
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
We can certainly understand your confusion with the responses. It used to be every 9 years (or 144,000 miles, whichever comes first) for the later Freelander 2’s, however, Land Rover reduced this to every 7 years (or 112,000 miles) – we assume they had seen some issues with the belts. Hence, you are correct, the recommended interval is now every 7 years or 112,000 miles, whichever coes first.
All the best,
Sue

Hi
I’m about to buy a Freelander 2 2007 with 76k miles for £4000. What kind of running cost should i expect from now on?
Hi Paul,
Congratulations on your purchase.
The running costs you should expect are your standard diesel, tax and insurance plus an annual service which will alter according to the defined service schedule for that particular year. To avoid any issues make sure you follow the Land Rover service schedule and use a good quality oil; also, very importantly, make sure all your tyres remain matched – the same make, model, size, tread depth remaining and air pressure.
Happy motoring!
All the best,
Sue
Hi Sue
I have a Landrover freelander 2 2.2 TD4 its showing a fault code P1202 :injection circuit open/short circuit cylinder 2 that does want to clear.
The car starts and drives but doesn’t accelerate as fast as it used to before this fault. If i press the accelerator pedal all the way down it doesn’t accelerate as it should and it sort of hesistates.
Sometimes while driving “reduced engine performance” pops up and it switches itself off. I have changed the injector on cylinder 2 but still the problem is not going away. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Phannic,
When you changed the injector did you code it in with diagnostics to the ECU?
All the best,
Sue
0780 9575 421
Hi,
I had a similar problem. I changed injectors, and was considering the electric fuel pump. I eventually traced the fault to the fuel filter. It had a hair line crack and when replaced the fault was gone. Worth a try?
Dek.
Hi Dek,
Thank you very much for sharing your experience, very valuable.

Hi,
Looking to purchase a td4 automatic 2006 96000 miles, just wondering if there are any known issues with the automatic gearbox.
Kind regards,
Jim.
Hi Jim,
My apologies for the delay in responding.
Congratulations on looking to purchase a Freelander, they are great vehicles.
The automatic gearboxes can have some issues, mainly with the solenoids on them (there are nine solenoids in the valve body), although we would not say they are particularly troublesome transmissions provided you use the correct oil and do not open the wrong plug when trying to drain and refill them.
All the best,
Sue

I’m looking at buying a freelander 2 but only want a chain driven engine could you help me and specify which models have chains and which years?
Hi Charlie,
All the Freelander 2 2.2 diesel’s are belt driven, it is the 3.2 litre petrol models which have a timing chain.
All the best,
Sue
Hi there Sue,
I’ve just bought a 2003 freelander 1, TD4 for £400 as a bit of a project, has not MOT currently. I have an SRS light on this, I have fiddled with the yellow connectors under the driver and passenger seat by unclipping them and clipping them back together but no joy – any ideas?
Thanks, Sam
Hi Sam,
It could be a faulty rotary coupler behind the steering wheel.
All the best,
Sue
I have a 2009 TD4 diesel and the timing belt broke while driving, the engine stopped. I didnt know what it was at the time and tried to start it a couple of times. Is it likely to have caused significant engine damage?
Hi Nick,
We are very sorry to hear of the problems with your Freelander. Unfortunately it is likely that significant damage has occurred if the pistons have hit the valves. It is also possible you have broken pieces on the cylinder head.
All the best,
Sue

I I’m looking at a freelander 2 2.2 td4 2008 tomorrow done 159 000 miles manual box price is good condition inside and out are great drives and sounds fine but the owner said it as lost 6th gear what are your thoughts on this thanks steve
Hi Steve,
Congratulations on considering buying a Freelander, they are great vehicles.
The issue with the loss of 6th gear could just be the selector on top of the gearbox or it could the gear itself inside the gearbox.

Hi Sue
I about to purchase a 07 freelander 2 2.2 td4 s. I know nothing about these motors it has 144.000 miles on it and I asked dealer about timing belt change and he has stated that its a chain so there is now problem I would be grateful for any advice I will be buying it on Wednesday help
Hi Robbie,
Freelander’s are a great choice of vehicle!
The Freelander 2 2.2 Engine has got a timing belt which needs to be changed every 150,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first, so the one you are buying should have had it changed in 2017. There is a small chain which does not changing but the belt does.
The Freelander 2 has a very large 10 year service which includes changing the timing and auxiliary belt as well as changing the oil for the power transfer unit, gearbox and rear differential, so it will be worth checking to see if this has all been done as well.
Please be aware the haldex unit needs to be serviced every 2-3 years but is not included on the Land Rover schedule, so tends to be left. If It has not been done, then I would advise you to look into having the haldex serviced as soon as possible since leaving it unserviced can cause issues with the drivetrain.
Also be aware to check the tyres are the same make, model, size, tread depth remaining and air pressures, having these mismatched could also cause issues with your drivetrain and is probably the most important thing to protect the drivetrain.
All the best,
Sue

Hi sue I’ve 2004 freelancer 2.0 diesel manual. Only just bought for a run around on bad roads. Does this have a timing belt or chain and when would you recommend replacing? 178000 miles on the clock

Hi, guys!
I have a Freelander 2, 2.2, 2011, 130.000km. When I go over 120 km/h, it cuts the fuel and it indicates ”reduced engine performance”. Turning off the engine solves the problem for the moment, but appears again when I accelerate. Any advice?
Hi Alex,
It could be the electronic boost control on the turbo, however the best thing would be to put it on diagnostics and let us know what codes are present, we would then be in a better position to advise.
All the best,
Sue
0780 9575 421
I will do so. Thank you!
Your petrol filter ist not good.
Hi Sue
On Saturday I’m picking up a ’12 Freelander 2 with 54000 on the clock. Having recently experienced an eyewateringly expensive EGR fail on a KIA Sportage I am concerned to avoid the same problem with the Freelander. Are there any fuel additives that can help keep the EGR clean without affecting the PDF – what’s your opinion of the Terraclean process on a Freelander please?
Hi Robin,
Congratulations on your purchase.
We have never used the Terraclean so we cannot comment on this.
The Freelander 2 does not commonly suffer from EGR failures and so it is not something we have ever needed to use or recommend be used.
Sorry we cannot be of any help in this instance.
All the best,
Sue
0780 9575 421
Hi Sue
On the contrary that’s a great help – thank you.
Robin
Hi sue I have recently found out I have fuel pump issue on my 2.0 td4 and have had my car towed to a local garage .they have noticed when looking that my timing chain that there is some damage to it and may well also need replacing is this an expensive job? And where are you based for any work to be done thanks
Alex
Hi Alex,
It is unusual to have the timing chain faulty – how did they determine it was faulty (you would have to strip it to see if it was damaged)?
We are based in Norfolk, midway between Cambridge and Norwich, IP26 4RH.

Hello! I have a 2010 Freelander 2 2.2 TD4 and I am getting a lot of gas smell in the cabin when in traffic or when stopped at idle through the ventilaiton system. It I turn the ventilation off, the gas smell dissapears. What could be the problem? Someone said it could be the oil separator that needs to be changed, do you have any idea?
Hello Ene,
If the gas smell if like oil then it indicates you have an oil leak on the engine. If the smell is more like diesel then you need to be looking for a fuel leak in the system. If it is more pungent than motor oil then it could be a leak in the transmission oils of the gearbox or the power transfer unit (front differential).
All the best,
Sue
+44-780-9575-421
Thank you Sue! It smells like gas, you can feel it in the throat and you can hardly breathe in the car. There is a leak on top of the engine, near the windshield, could it be the depression limiter valve assembly?
Hello Ene,
You really need to take this to somebody to get it checked. It could be a number of things and if the smell is that bad it needs somebody to see and be able to smell it. What is the leak? Oil?
All the best,
Sue
Yes, oil, but not a large leak. The FL2 has an oil separator instead of the breather filter found in the first model, could it be this oil separator to blame?
It could be Ene, or the top cover. You would need to send us a photo of the oil leak for us to be able to see if that looks like where it is coming from.
All the best,
Sue

Hi Sue
I’m hoping to buy a 2010 FL HSE auto with 92k miles. I see from previous posts that that I need to check the cambelt and tyres are all the same… what else must I look for and check with the dealer about the car before committing?
Thanks
Ann Marie
Hi Ann Marie,
Congratulations on considering purchasing a Freelander 2.
The cambelt will not need changing until 2020 or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
It is imperative that all the tyres are the same make, model, size, tread depth remaining and air pressure, so you are right to check these.
We would recommend getting the Haldex serviced sooner rather than later, as this is not on any Land Rover schedule so it is highly likely it has not been done (it is advisable to do it every 2 – 3 years).
Make sure there are no whining noises coming particularly from the rear oof the Freelander when you drive it.
Check for any oil leaks in the engine bay, especially around the intercooler.
These are great vehicles and generally very reliable. They are made to do high mileage so at 92k miles it is still a baby.
Good luck with your purchase.
All the best,
Sue

Hi Allan,
Your 2014 Freelander SD4 has both a timing belt and a chain. The belt needs replacing every 9 years or 144,000 miles, whichever comes first. So if you do not reach the 144,000 miles by 2023 then that will be when it needs replacing.

Hi Hüseyin,
That is unusual to have a problem with the timing belt before the 10 year point, unless you have done over 150,000 miles. It is possible it could have done damage to the engine but it depends in what way the timing belt was damaged and the effects of this on the engine – unfortunately, without seeing it, we would not be able to tell. We can certainly help you out with parts if required, or take a look at it for you.

Hello Eduardo,
If driving your Freelander is not managing to regenerate the DPF then it may be a case of having a forced regeneration done by the garage.
All the best,

Olá Eduardo,
Se dirigir seu Freelander não está conseguindo regenerar o DPF, então pode ser um caso de ter uma regeneração forçada feita pela garagem.

You are lucky that it didn’t break. I have a 2013 Si4 done 50000 miles and the belt broke through the cover. Always serviced and driven normally.
Same symptoms that you described.

Hi I just purchased a Freelander hse td4 automatic 05 plate . It’s got some history with it but can’t see if it has a timing belt or chain in the book. It’s done 101.000 miles. I’m just wondering could you tell me if it’s got a belt or chain please. Much appreciated Jackie
Hi Jackie,
The Freelander 1 TD4 has a timing change so you do not need to worry about changing it.

Its a TD4 2004 model.

Sue;
I have a 2005 Freelander SE with the KV6 2.5l (US version). I need both to have the front and rear timing belts, water pump, and all the hoses replaced. Land Rover parts cost more more than the car is worth. Is there aftermarket parts company that makes quality parts at reasonable price you would recommend?
Thank you,
Robert
Hi Robert,
You can certainly get some good aftermarket parts for the timing belt. Some of the hoses are available as aftermarket but others are not. If you let me know which hoses you are looking for I can get you a price.

I have a 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE. About once every 2 months the fuel gauge suddenly drops to empty and the warning light comes on. Stopping and turning off the ignition and restarting fixes the problem. However as I said every couple of months the problem is repeated. What is the likely problem and should I be overly concerned?
Hi Doug,
It sounds like a problem with the fuel sender unit. If you change this it should solve the issue.

Hi my partner just bought a 05 plate freelander E td4 2 litre does it need a new timing belt or not its done 98000 miles
Hi Emma,
The TD4 Freelander 1 does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain. So there is no need to worry about it as it does not need changing.
Enjoy!

Hi we have been told our freelander 2 57 plate needs cambelt change it has done 88k? Thanks
Hi Fern,
Yes, that is correct. The timing belt on your Freelander needs replacing every 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. Since your Freelander is on low mileage you will be changing the timing belt on time, 10 years, which means it is due to be changed this year.
All the best,
Sue

Hi. I am looking to purchase a freelander sd4 60 plate auto with 80.000 miles on.
When does the cam belt need to be changed. Are there any other issues I should be looking for.
Most appreciated if you have any guidance.
Thanks Gareth
Hi Gareth,
Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Freelander, they are great vehicles.
The cam belt on a 2010 Freelander requires changing every 150,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.
One of the most important issues on the Freelander 2 is to always make sure your tyres are matched, in make, model, size and amount of tread remaining, and in fact, also in tyre pressure. Mismatched tyres can cause issues with the drivetrain and can destroy the rear differential, Haldex and Power Transfer Unit.
Another important point is to get the Haldex Unit serviced. This is not on any service schedule from Land Rover and hence is never generally serviced. It should be serviced about every two years otherwise the oil gets congealed and will eventually block the pump and destroy the unit.
They are very capable cars and very reliable if looked after correctly, I’m sure it will give you a lot of happy motoring.
All the best,
Sue

Just bought freelander 2 08 plate auto can you tell me is it chain or belt kind regards john
Hi John,
Congratulations on your purchase.
Your Freelander has a timing belt and a timing chain. The timing chain does not generally need changing, however the timing belt should be changed every 150,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.
All the best,

Hi. Sue thanks for the reply but did not know that the freelander 2 need 2 belts my freelander 1 had a timing chain please can you tell me more about the belt kind regards john
Hi John,
The Freelander 2 does not have two timing belts, it has one timing belt and one timing chain. Depending on the year of your Freelander timing belt needs changing at 150,000 or 10 years for pre 2012, whichever comes first, or 144,000 miles or nine years, whichever comes first for post 2012. The timing chain doies not need changing.
All the best,
Sue
Many Thanks Sue have a nice Christmas
It’s a pleasure John. We hope you have a great Christmas too.
All the best,
Sue
Hi,
The boot on my FL2 TD4 keeps popping open when opening the car or stationary.
Is this likely to be a costly problem to fix?
Advice appreciated.
Chris
Hi Chris,
This is most likely to be caused by a faulty switch. Which switch you need depends on your chassis number but the part is either £17.56 + VAT or £29.57 + VAT. The fitting time is about 30 minutes.
All the best,
Sue

Hi I have a 2012 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE
Just checking when the Cam belt needs replacing it’s done 40000 miles .
Regards Tim
Hi Tim,
Since your Freelander is a 2012 it is likely to be on the 16,000 miles or 12 monthly service interval. If this is the case then you will need to change the cam belt at 144,000 miles or 9 years, whichever comes first.
All the best,

Hello Sue,
I purchased a FL2 2011 SD4 with 143000km on the odometer four months ago with full dealer service history.. I enquired from the dealer bout the cam belt as I need to look after as its out of warranty and maintenance plan however he mentioned it should be with 200000km.
does the 6 year apply to the sd4? if yes please advise me with afforbable make that I can purchase to do this service.
thank you very much
Hello Mohamed,
Congratulations on your purchase.
The cam belt is changed every 10 years or 240,000 km, whichever comes first. The 6 year interval is for the petrol Freelander 1 models, yours is a 10 year interval.
If you are not purchasing a genuine Land Rover service kit then it would be best to get an OEM kit, which will be more affordable.
All the best,
Sue
Thank you Sue,
It’s a release to know the exact time for my cambelt service on the SD4 2011 model.
I have looked at the service schedule for 160000KM the mention brake hoses and other items.
Please list me all the items that are need for this service and advise is this service B?
Thank you for the great support.
Hi Momed,
The 160,000km service is a B service, so it replaces all of the filters (oil, air, pollen and fuel) and engine oil. The additional items are the flexible brake hoses and the brake fluid.
All the best,
Sue

HI Sue
I have just noticed a condition on dieasel in my country it is high-sulphur diesel and the service schedule states that I should change oil on 5,000km interval is that the only item to change ? What about the fuel/oil filters?
Guide the best advise on how to maintaine under this condition.
Thank you
Hi Mohamed,
Which Freelander do you have – what year of manufacture?
For a Freelander 2 (from 2006) you would change the oil and oil filter every 5,000km or 3 months (whichever comes first) when you have high-sulpher diesel and drain the fuel sediment. Every 20,000 km or 12 months (whichever comes first) you should change the fuel filter.
All the best,
Sue
Hi Sue,
I have freelander 2 SD4 HSE, year 2011.
Basically I only do an oil/ filter change and do the fuel sediment with fuel filter every 20,000km?
Are any addictive like fuel and turbo cleaner recommended every Fill up or I do that on the 5000km oil/ filter change?
Hi Mohamed,
Drain the fuel sediment with the oil and filter change every 5,000km. Then change the fuel filter every 20,000 miles. You do have to be careful what addditives you add to these engines because of the diesel particulate filter, so with high sulpher disel just do the regular oil and filter changes as recommended.
All the best,
Sue

Hi, I have a 2.0 Td4, ST 53 REG, recent fault, loss of power, struggle up to 40mph then, nothing, turbo will not kick in. Seemed like fuel starvation but had the fuel filter changed ( phew, what a job ) but no difference. Asked a land rover specialist, he said, ” not a clue, could take a week to find what’s wrong”, not very encouraging.
Any ideas please?.
Hi Bernie,
Sorry to hear you are having problems with you Freelander.
Try disconnecting the MAF sensor, if you get an improvement then the MAF sensor will be the problem.
Check all turbo hoses and vacuum pipes for splits.
If neither of these identify the issue then it could be your low pressure fuel pump, can you hear this priming when you turn on the ignition?
All the best,
Sue

Hi i have a 2007 2.2 TD4 Freelander 2 and i have a message on the dashboard “Transmission fault reduced traction” what steps do i need to take and will this damage my Freelander
Hi John,
Are the special features on the selector knob working? If they are not then the problem is probably the pump on the rear differential. If they are working then it is best to put it on diagnostics to see what codes are present.
All the best,
