2004 Land Rover Freelander Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual is keyed to the 2004 Land Rover Freelander as built — the 2.5L V6, the four trims Land Rover listed that year — so the specifications and tightening sequences it gives are the ones Land Rover documented for this vehicle rather than figures that only roughly apply to it.

Known issues on the 2004 Freelander. Three recalls sit on federal record for this vehicle. One concerns the brake light switch: the brake lights may remain illuminated even when the brake pedal is not depressed, and the hill descent control, traction control and cruise control warning lights may also be illuminated — failure to provide the proper signal when braking could lead to a crash without warning. Another covers the door latches on five-door vehicles, where it is possible to operate the interior door handle to open the door when the child safety lever is in the "on" position, so an occupant may open the door inadvertently while the vehicle is in motion and fall out into the traffic, and personal injuries could occur. The third is structural: during testing the free motion head form registered a measurement marginally above the permitted 1000 head impact criteria at the left and right hand A-pillar trim area, a failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact," and in the event of a vehicle crash personal injury to occupants may occur. Owners have filed 69 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are chasing a brake light that will not switch off, sorting a door latch and its child safety lever, or stripping A-pillar trim, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2004 Freelander.
