| I’ve just had my 2008 Freelander 2 serviced. I was advised that there are traces of oil around the turbo, but that this was just an advisory. I would be grateful if anyone can let me know the symp ... |

| With apologies for not responding to the latest helpful posts - my FL2 has been back in the garage again. The new steering rack failed and has been replaced, and one of the seals on the replaced diff ... |

| And get it fixed now with a genuine LR part, as you are otherwise likely to find your engine cutting out completely at a very inconvenient moment! Mine is the voice of experience - my garage used a c ... |

| Could be a Freelander thing - overnight someone side swiped the back corner of my car, causing quite a bit of damage, then drove off leaving the trim from their van as a souvenir. I had it all fixed ... |

| Sadly it's not the seal around the steering column. I just checked and it is firmly in place. By suddenly appearing out of my cars footwell I have managed to give my neighbour the fright of his life ... |

| Thanks for the tips about the steering column seal. I’ll have a look tomorrow. I was getting a whistling noise, but it turned out to be from the failing steering rack and fluid leak, which resulte ... |

| Thank you indeed Greybeard. Today I went to RCV, who couldn't have been more helpful. They ran diagnostics which led them to reset the throttle valve actuator (whatever one of those is). The best b ... |
