Hello from me and my TD4...

[leviebaby]

Hi.

I bought a 2001 Freelander TD4 a week ago and WAS happy with it but then it decided to run badly and the dealer has taken it back and given me a courtesey car but isn't giving me any idea as to whats up with it...

It's an automatic but when you reach approx 35mph, it decides to give no more and just revs like mad and then suddenly it jolts and and has a bit of welly again!?!?! This does't happen all the time either?

Any ideas???

Thank you.
Vicki

Sounds like your transmission is gone bad.... sadly the Freelanders are known for this.

Is that an expensive big job???

Good news is that it's the dealers responsibility to fix it seeing as they sold it to me as a good working veichle only a week earlier!

Thanks for you reply

It can be expensive, since they may need to replace the transmission.

Good news for me but bad news for the dealer... They decided to give me a whole new gearbox which was being fitted yesterday so hopefully i'll hear from them today letting me know when i'm getting it back. Prob set him back over a grand and he'll have lost any profit he made on the car and more but that's not my problem i'm afraid. I just want my car to go!

Thanks for your responses Joey.
