Dead Freelander!

[enfieldspares]

I'd spend it.

Better the devil you know.

You could very easily be buying trouble.

I partly agree if the rest is sound. Else "new wine in old skins" applies. You fix this as better the devil and etc., then you have to fix that and a year later and you've spent £3000 because you've committed yourself.

Spend the money to get the fault diagnosed, then make your mind up.
A fuel pump or filter failure is a cheap easy fix.

I have a two Freelander 2s hear both with crash damage if you need any parts drop me a message or I would consider purchasing yours

I had one that just stopped the fuel tank is over the back seat well and needs at least half a tank to be sure it didnt stop

is that true for the freelander 1 i know the 2 is like that and has i think another auxiliary transfer pump to move the fuel between tanks.

I'd agree with @GWP's post above.
@kenbro were you going up a slight incline on the slip road and how much fuel in the tank?

Not if it’s the pump that supplies the injectors.

It’s a saddle tank and the pump in there just pumps fuel from one side to the other where the outlet is situated.

Down hill and plenty fuel in tank.

Oi, oi, there’s a queue

That’s not the fuel pump, that’s the injector pump. The fuel pump is a cheap diy job, which is why I would get the diagnosis before I made the decision to scrap or repair.

I had very similar a few years back mine kept cutting out on a journry and then just died. RAC.lad came and told me it was a small electrical relay connection was working loose and stopping the fuel pump working. Squashed it tight and told me to get a new one on, which I dId, no more problems.

Id say get it repaired , secondhand market prices are high .

 

[kenbro]

Looked up a salvage company 2 miles from home, filled in the online form and sold it for £312.
Phoned next day to see when they’d collect and had a chat with girl on phone.
Basically, if the car’s complete and the cat. is still there they pay the £312.
If no cat. price will go down.
Suits me.

£900 is worth a fix, unless replacing with a bicycle.

But, be sure it’s not ‘probably £900’ and ends up being £3k. I trust Russian prostitutes more than mechanics

 

[Jim Hutton]

Even if it does cost £900 to fix what replacement can you buy with that?

Keep your broken down car (if you have the room) and buy exactly the same model. Use your old car for donor parts.
