Yeah I think LR’s system in the LR3 was pretty much perfect big chunky knob and lever switches right in the center console that made it easy to quickly change TR mode and suspension as well as T Case settings.

You can order new elements IIRC they aren’t that expensive if you just need a seat or two.

IIRC correctly it was I’d have to look for one. I’ve always thought that’d be a fun little daily.

Here’s a 2wd sport for sale in the UK. I was able to find quite a few in the UK for sale with most of them having manual transmissions. I think we just didn’t get them here...

I agree. However it’s stupid easy to rule out a potential mechanical issue. I’d be worried about the skills of the techs and engineers if they haven’t figured it out yet.

That’s correct in most cases especially with older engines running non synthetic oil. The break that Land Rover has listed in the manual probably doesn’t just involve the engine but the whole driveline which needs to wear in. Isn’t the usual mileage for diff break in like 500 miles with no hard...

We don’t really the only thing we have to go off of is the mileage that issue presented itself and what the manual says.

I agree

Which is exactly what I said.

As someone who’s built engines, break in mainly involves getting the piston rings to seat properly against the cylinder walls. Beyond that the bearing surfaces may wear in some but that’s pretty much it.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t checked that. We are talking about techs and engineers here not mechanics. They like to computer diagnose everything. I mean there’s only so many things on a engine that could cause cylinder 2 and 3 to throw that kind of fault. Frankly two...

I almost wonder if the engine has popped a head gasket now that’s a very unlikely situation on a new engine that hasn’t been run hot but it could happen. If the head gasket failed between cylinders it would cause compression and fuel air mixture leakage between the two affected cylinders, it...

The Freelander was available with the option of front wheel drive only or with a front wheel drive biased all wheel drive system. There were factory 2wd Freelanders. However the vast majority were AWD.

Yeah its literally just a newer version of the Freelander.

Evoque and Disco Sport as well I think.

I mean Land Rover built a few 2wd series 1’s.

Exactly.

If you have a multimeter you can check the battery while it’s running and you’ll know pretty quickly if it’s charging.
