Freelander 2.0 TD4 Clutch, Slave & Master Replacement

July 28, 2011 – 17:46

Is your Freelander’s clutch giving you problems?

Do You Want to make sure you don’t end up stuck in the middle of nowhere with no clutch?

We Can Help!

Our full clutch system replacement is just £650 incl. VAT.

What is included in my Clutch Replacement?

The clutch system on your Freelander involves the clutch kit itself and the hydraulic master and slave cylinder.

Since replacing the clutch slave cylinder requires as much work as replacing the clutch itself our clutch replacement includes replacing all parts of the clutch system including:

- the clutch kit
- the clutch slave cylinder
- the clutch master cylinder

Please note that it is recommended to replace the dual mass flywheel at the same time as the clutch, if this is required there will be an additional cost of £500 incl. VAT.

Our price for all this is just £650.

All prices include VAT

Since we specialise in these vehicles who better to ensure that your clutch is operating perfectly? We have the specialist equipment and knowledge for the job.

We are based in Norfolk, postcode IP26 4RH.

If you don’t have a lift home after dropping your car with us, and are looking to use public transport, we can drop you / pick you up at the railway station – our closest is Brandon, however if you are coming through London there is a direct train line from Downham Market which is not too far either. If Thetford is more convenient for you this is also possible.

We are rather in the middle of nowhere, but if you do need to wait for your car there are some pleasant walks in the area.

If your car does not drive and you need to get it to us to fit your clutch why not try:

  1. Phoning your breakdown recovery service, if you have one. These will sometimes transport your car for free, or at a reduced rate.
  1. Giving us a call on 0780 9575 421 and we will arrange to transport your car to us for a cost of £1.80 per mile (calculated one way only to IP26 4RH). We can organise collection from anywhere in Europe (ferry crossings will be charged additionally where applicable).

How long will it take?

To replace your clutch system generally takes less than 6 hours.

How can I pay for my clutch replacement?

The painful bit I know! But we like to give you as much choice as possible, so we accept:

  • Cash on collection (always nice!)
  • All Major Credit Cards (including AMEX) – over the phone or on collection
  • Direct Bank Transfer
  • Paypal
  • Cheques – provided they clear before delivery or collection

LAND ROVER FREELANDER GS HARDTOP 2000, Auto, 11 mth MOT

July 14, 2011 – 16:25

Landrover Freelander
GS Convertible

ONLY £1,995

3 Door Convertible
Air Conditioning
Excellent Towing Power

MOT until 15th June 2012
Head Gaskets Replaced (with fully reconditioned cylinder heads)
Cam Belt Replaced

Imagine, on these beautiful hot summer days, driving with the roof off, the wind blowing through your hair, and the power to cruise the open road. This Freelander is fun, it’s practical, it’s stylish, it’s tough, and it is certainly powerful!

If you want to look good, this is a stunning looking car. If you want the power to tow a caravan, horse box, trailer, infact anything, then this car has got it, without being too big and hefty for normal everyday driving.

Need to fit the family in, including the dogs, perfect. You can even take the rear tailgate window down to give the dogs some air – if you haven’t already got the roof off that is.

This Freelander has a 2.5 litre Petrol engine, which means that when you need to go it really goes – putting a smile on your face! And it gives great power for towing that caravan, horse box, or anything else you may wish to pull behind you.

The Freelander has MOT until 15th June 2012, and the service history is:

  • 05/02/2001 5,123 miles
  • 26/06/2001 12,370 miles
  • 28/03/2002 24,281 miles

  • 27/08/2003 47,717 miles
  • 07/07/2011 138,053 miles

Clearly there is some service history missing from the service book, however the engine is in great mechanical shape after having the following work done at 138,053 miles:

  • Cam belt changed
  • new head gaskets on both cylinder heads
  • two fully reconditioned cylinder heads

The Freelander is mechanically and cosmetically sound – no funny noises or rattles. There is no sign of rust, as can be seen on the photos – click here to view the photos.

This Freelander has such style, comfort and versatility, no wonder they are the best all-rounders in their class. It is a solid, quality 4×4 at a bargain price.

Excellent value and a stunning car – go on, give it some fun – you know you want to!

All viewings welcome.

July 1, 2011 – 11:15

NOW SOLD

Landrover Freelander

GS S-Wagon

ONLY £2,495

5 Door

Air Conditioning

Low Mileage – only 78,100 miles

Service History

MOT until 7th November 2011

New Modified Multi Layer Steel (MLS) Head Gasket Fitted

Fully Reconditioned Cylinder Head Fitted

Cam Belt Replaced

Water Pump Replaced

Thermostat Replaced

This is a great Freelander, drives beautifully, and has all those extras that makes motoring a joy. The way the window at the rear goes down so you can load your shopping without having to open the back door – or of course give your dogs plenty of air if you have any. All of the useful storage areas and flat surfaces that seem to exist for everything you could possibly want to carry, including the innovative drinks holders in the doors. All electric windows and mirrors. Really cold air conditioning – great for our occassional hot days! Fantastic Sony Xplode stereo with CD player. Hill descent control. Alloy wheels. Stylish roof bars … I could go on and on.

The rear seats fold down better than anything I’ve come across, allowing for tonnes of luggage space if you have bulky items to transport.

This Freelander has a 1.8 litre Petrol engine, which means it is not the gas guzzler that most 4×4′s are.

This Freelander has MOT until 7th November 2011. In all it’s MOT history it has never had an advisory notice issued, and the only time it ever failed was in 2009 when the brake light was not working!

The Freelander has full service history:

  • 14/02/2002    3,450 miles
  • 29/10/2002   13,814 miles
  • 24/09/2003   27,343 miles

  • 07/11/2010   76,923 miles

At 78,081 miles the Freelander also had:

  • Cam belt changed
  • new modified multi layer steel (MLS) head gasket
  • a fully reconditioned cylinder head
  • new water pump
  • new thermostat

The Freelander is mechanically and cosmetically sound – no funny noises or rattles. There is no sign of rust, as can be seen on the photos (please click here to see more photographs), however I must point out that there is one ding in the body work on the drivers side rear door. There is no paint damage and can only be seen at certain angles – see the photos.

This Freelander has such style, comfort and versatility, no wonder they are the best all-rounders in their class. It is a solid, quality 4×4 at a bargain price.

Excellent value and a stunning car – go on, give it some fun – you know you want to!

LAND ROVER FREELANDER GS S-WAGON 2001, Auto, 12 mth MOT

May 26, 2011 – 10:36

Landrover Freelander
GS S-Wagon

ONLY £2,800

5 Door
Air Conditioning
Excellent Towing Power
Low Mileage – only 68,059 miles
Service History
MOT until 22nd May 2012
Head Gaskets Replaced (with fully reconditioned cylinder heads)
Cam Belt Replaced
Water Pump Replaced
Thermostat Replaced
New Front Brake Discs and Pads

If you’re looking for a car for work, for the family, a bit of weekend adventure and  a whole lot of fun – here it is!

This is a superb Freelander. It looks good, feels agile, goes well (when you put your foot down this Freelander really moves!), nicely finished and well equipped. You can understand why they have become the ultimate in flexible motoring – toughness, durability, comfort and elegant style all wrapped into one car. Not only that but you have an ideal workhorse due to its toughness and the fitted tow bar; a perfect family car with plenty of space; a great tourer due to it being so incredibly comfortable – it is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven – AND a great toy! (Although I always thought these cars are too nice to get it dirty!)

This vehicle is hugely capable and highly desirable – on the motorway it just cruises beautifully, and on the small roads it’s handling is just right – not too touchy, not too insensitive, it feels solid on the road.

The driving position – I love being sat up higher than most vehicles – gives you nearly no blind spots, loads of leg room both in the front and the back – your rear passengers will feel as though they’re in a limo!

At the wheel of this vehicle you feel a little set apart – and not only because of the high driving position, and the fact that all your friends are envious! The detail touches help. The way the window at the rear goes down so you can load your shopping without having to open the back door – or of course give your dogs plenty of air if you have any. All of the useful storage areas and flat surfaces that seem to exist for everything you could possibly want to carry, including the innovative drinks holders in the doors. All electric windows and mirrors. Air conditioning. Six CD changer. Tiptronic automatic gearbox. Hill descent control. Alloy wheels … I could go on and on.

The rear seats fold down better than anything I’ve come across, allowing for tonnes of luggage space if you have bulky items to transport.

What is really so great about this Freelander is that it is a real head turner, a fantastic looking vehicle that looks far more expensive than it actually is – both on the inside and the outside. And when you drive it it makes you smile :) , this Freelander has real power!

This Freelander has a 2.5 litre Petrol engine, which means that when you need to go it really goes – putting that smile on your face!And it gives great power for towing that caravan, horse box, or anything else you may wish to pull behind you.

  • 08/05/2003   11,938 miles
  • 05/12/2003   16,684 miles

Land Rover Freelander 1 Brand New Rear Differential / Rear Diff

January 13, 2011 – 11:45

Freelander 1 Brand New Rear Differential

£750 incl. VAT

Is Your Freelander whining and grinding from the rear?

Do you want your beloveded Freelander to run smooth and quiet again?

We Can Help!

If your Freelander Rear Differential is damaged we can provide you with a brand new unit.

These units are for the Freelander 1 (1997 – 2006)

What has caused my rear differential to be damaged?

In most cases damage to your rear differential is caused by not replacing your VCU in a timely manner.

The VCU is a sealed unit, half way along your prop shaft, that contains a viscous fluid. Since this is a sealed unit it is not possible to check, or routinely change, the viscous fluid. It is, therefore, recommended you change the VCU approximately every 70,000 miles.

Over time the viscous fluid in the VCU becomes thick and the prop shaft no longer rotates at the required speed. This puts tremendous strain on the drive train, and, if not replaced in a timely manner, will eventually cause damage to the rest of the drive train – such as your rear differential.

The other common cause of rear differential damage is a differing ratio between the front and rear tyres causing excessive strain to be put on the drive train. The ratio difference is cause by fitting different radius tyres to the front compared to the rear. This can be done by using incorrectly sized tyres; worn tyres on one end of the vehicle and new tyres on the other end (you should always replace all four tyres at the same time on a Freelander); or running very low tyre pressures on one end of the vehicle. A radius difference of just 10mm can destroy a rear differential in just 5 miles!

How can I tell if my rear differential needs replacing?

Generally you will hear a whining or grinding noise from the rear of your Freelander, particularly under acceleration.

If the problem is your rear differential bushes, rather than the rear differential itself, then you will experience a whining noise which increases with road speed.

Warning: If your rear differential has failed because of your VCU then you will need to either replace the VCU at the same time or leave the prop shaft off and operate in front wheel drive only (this is not possible with a 2.5 litre petrol V6 Freelander), otherwise you will damage your replacement rear differential again within a short period of time.

Can you ship Worldwide?

Yes, we will ship anywhere in the world (providing we can find a courier who will do it!)

The shipping prices, fully insured, including shipping the brand new Rear Differential from us in the U.K. to your country.

Country Price
Austria £ 45

or email

for a shipping quotation.

Do I need to return my damaged Rear Differential?

How do I get my Rear Differential fitted?

Need your brand new Rear Differential fitted? For the complete hassle free service, bring your Freelander to us and we will fit the Rear Differential for you.

Take away all the hassle of getting your Freelander back on the road, bring it to us and we will:

  • Suppy a brand new Rear Differential

The total fitted cost (including the Rear Differential) is:

£870 (incl. VAT)

The cost of supply only for the brand new Rear Differential, excluding shipping is:

£750 (incl. VAT)

I’m worried about my VCU?

If you are worried about whether you need to replace your VCU check the mileage on your Freelander. If you have done over 70,000 miles and you have no record of the VCU having been changed then this is likely to have been the cause of damaging your Rear Differential. Any concerns just give us a call on

0780 9575 421

to discuss your symptoms and / or make an appointment for us to have a look at your Freelander.

We also supply reconditioned rear differentials, viscous coupling units (VCU’s) and transfer boxes / IRD units – so no matter what damage may have been done, we can fix it!

How can I pay for my brand new Rear Differential?

The painful bit I know! But we like to give you as much choice as possible, so we accept:

  • Cash (If you are collecting it)
  • All Major Credit Cards (including AMEX) – over the phone or on collection
  • Direct Bank Transfer
  • Paypal
  • Cheques – provided they clear before delivery or collection

What if something goes wrong?

We don’t like things going wrong, and you certainly wouldn’t! Quality is important to us, but in the event that something does go wrong you have our

12 month, unlimited mileage warranty.

Our warranty covers you for a replacement Rear Differential in the event of any failure of a component due to unforseen circumstances.

IMPORTANT: Because it is common that damage to the Rear Differential is caused by the VCU, your warranty will only be valid if you either replace the VCU at the same time OR leave the prop shaft off your Freelander – leaving the same VCU on your vehicle will almost certainly damage any replacement Rear Differential in a short period of time. If you replace your VCU please ensure you keep your receipt to validate your warranty. In addition because a differing ratio in the front and rear tyres can cause rear differential damage very quickly your warranty is void if all four tyres have not been replaced at the same time and to the same specification.

Give us a call on

0780 9575 421

to discuss your needs.

Freelander 2.0 TD L Series Diesel Timing Cam Belt Replacement

January 12, 2011 – 17:32

Has Your 2.0 L Series Diesel Freelander done 48,000 miles or more?

Do You Want to make sure it does another 48,000 miles?

We Can Help!

Don’t take the chance of your timing belt snapping – if this happens you are likely to do serious, and possibly irreparable engine damage, which would cost thousands to fix!

Our Freelander 2.0 TD L Series Diesel timing belt replacement is just

£395

Get your timing belt replaced in a timely manner – Land Rover’s recommendation is every 48,000 miles.

What is included in your Timing Belt Replacement?

The timing belt (cam belt) controls the timing of your engine’s valves.

Your timing belt replacement includes the fitting of a full timing belt kit – both timing belts, both tensioners and the idler.

Since we specialise in these engines who better to ensure that your timing belt is timed up perfectly? We have the specialist equipment and knowledge for the job.

Do I need a service?

It is advisable to have your vehicle serviced at regular 12,000 mile intervals. If you are changing your timing belt at 48,000 miles then your vehicle will also be requiring its 48,000 mile service.

The Freelander 2.0 litre diesel (L-Series, 1997 – 2000) should be serviced every 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or every 12 months, which ever comes sooner.

The service schedule involves an A service and a B service.

The 12,000 mile (20,000 km) or 12 month service is an A service.

The 24,000 mile (40,000 km) or 24 month service is a B service.

In addition to the above servicing please remember that your Freelander requires the air bags replaced every ten years and the seatbelt pre-tensioners replaced every fifteen years.

Although not specified on any Land Rover service schedule, you also need to replace your viscous coupling unit approximately every 70,000 miles to avoid damage to the rest of your drive train.

Where are you?

We are based in Norfolk, postcode IP26 4RH.

If you don’t have a lift home after dropping your car with us, and are looking to use public transport, we can drop you / pick you up at the railway station – our closest is Brandon, however if you are coming through London there is a direct train line from Downham Market which is not too far either. If Thetford is more convenient for you this is also possible.

We are rather in the middle of nowhere, but if you do need to wait for your car there are some pleasant walks in the area.

How long will it take?

To replace your timing belt generally takes less than 5 hours.

To complete a full 48,000 mile service will take approximately 8 to 9 hours, including the timing belt.

How can I pay for my timing belt replacement?

The painful bit I know! But we like to give you as much choice as possible, so we accept:

  • Cash on collection (always nice!)
  • All Major Credit Cards (including AMEX) – over the phone or on collection
  • Direct Bank Transfer
  • Paypal
  • Cheques – provided they clear before delivery or collection

What if something goes wrong?

We don’t like things going wrong, and you certainly wouldn’t! Quality is important to us, but in the event that something does go wrong you have our

12 month, unlimited mileage warranty.

Our warranty covers you for parts and labour in the event of any failure of a component due to unforseen circumstances. Just bring your car back to us and we will sort it out.

Freelander Problems – Freelander 2.0 L Series Diesel & 2.0 TD4 Diesel Head Gasket Replacement

November 27, 2010 – 11:23

Is Your Diesel Freelander losing water or overheating?

Do you want your beloved Freelander back on the road and running cool again?

We Can Help!

If you are losing water or your engine is overheating, don’t continue to drive your car otherwise you could do extensive damage to the engine.

Our Freelander Diesel head gasket replacement starts at just £895.

What are the symptoms of a Head Gasket problem?

Common symptoms of head gasket failure are:

  • Engine overheating
  • Excessive coolant loss
  • Coolant in the oil (this looks like a milky sludge on the dipstick, or oil filler cap)
  • Oil in the coolant (this also looks like a milky sludge, but in the expansion tank)
  • Engine misfire, excessive white smoke from the exhaust, or hard/ non start.

Please contact us on

0780 9575 421

if you are unsure your vehicle is suffering from head gasket failure and we will be happy to advise you.

What is included in your Head Gasket Replacement?

We provide two types of head gasket replacement for your Freelander, a Standard and a Deluxe.

Our Freelander Diesel Standard Head Gasket replacement includes:

  • pressure testing the cylinder head
  • skimming of the cylinder head to ensure it is flat
  • Head gasket replacement using a modified multi layer gasket which is much more robust than other gaskets
  • New retaining stretch bolts
  • Overhaul gasket set including camshaft oil seals, inlet/exhaust manifold gasket etc.
  • Coolant change
  • Engine oil Change
  • New oil filter

Our Freelander Diesel Standard Head Gasket replacement is just £895 including VAT for the L-Series Freelander (1997 – 2000) and £995 including VAT for the TD4 Freelander (2000 – 2006).

Our Freelander Diesel Deluxe Head Gasket replacement includes:

  • a fully reconditioned head cylinder including pressure testing, skimming, reseating the valves, decoking the cylinder head, draining the lifters, resealing and new valve stem seals
  • Head gasket replacement
  • New retaining stretch bolts
  • Overhaul gasket set including camshaft oil seals, inlet/exhaust manifold gasket etc.
  • New water pump
  • New Thermostat
  • New water reservoir bottle and cap (these can be prone to hair line cracks which allow air into the system)
  • Complete flush of the cooling system to get rid of any oil residues
  • Coolant change
  • Complete flush of the engine to get rid of any water residues
  • Engine oil change including a high quality engine additive
  • New oil filter

Our Freelander Diesel Deluxe Head Gasket replacement is just £1,495 including VAT for the L-Series Freelander (1997 – 2000) and £1,595 including VAT for the TD4 Freelander (2000 – 2006).

Which Head Gasket Replacement should I have?

Which head gasket replacement you go for very much depends on what has happened to your vehicle.

If your Freelander has not overheated and you are looking to change the head gasket as a precautionary measure then you will only need the standard head gasket replacement.

If your Freelander has severely overheated then it is recommended you use the deluxe head gasket replacement as this addresses all the parts of the cooling system that could have caused the problem or could have been affected by the overheating.

PLEASE NOTE: If your engine has excessively overheated, it may have caused further damage which the standard head gasket replacement may not repair.

To discuss your particular situation please call us on

0780 9575 421

and we will be happy to advise you.

Can you change the cam belt at the same time?

Your cam belt on the Freelander 2.0 L-series diesel should be changed every 48,000 miles. If your vehicle is close to this mileage it will be cost effective to have the cam belt changed at the same time as the head gasket is done.

A cam belt change when done with the head gasket is only £195 (normal price £495) – this includes both belts.

The Freelander TD4 has a timing chain, so there is not cam belt to change.

What if my Freelander is not drivable?

If your Freelander does not drive and you need to get it to us to fix your head gasket why not try:

  1. Phoning your breakdown recovery service, if you have one. These will sometimes transport your car for free, or at a reduced rate.
  2. Giving us a call on 0780 9575 421 and we will arrange to transport your car to us for a cost of £1.80 per mile (calculated one way only to IP26 4RH). We can collect from anywhere in Europe (ferry crossings will be charged additionally where applicable).

How long will it take?

To replace your head gasket takes about one week, this is due to the machining which is required.

If you need your Freelander back on the road quicker than this just give us a call on

0780 9575 421

and we will do our best to help.

How can I pay for my head gasket replacement?

The painful bit I know! But we like to give you as much choice as possible, so we accept:

  • Cash on collection (always nice!)
  • All Major Credit Cards (including AMEX) – over the phone or on collection
  • Direct Bank Transfer
  • Paypal
  • Cheques – provided they clear before delivery or collection
