2005 undertray removal
 

Hi, trying to do first oil change on my new to me 2005 td4 hse freelander, and I can't get the undertray off.. Undid all the visible screws, and drilled out the rivets, but it won't move.. It looks like it should slide to the rear but it won't move..anybody got some ideas.

These may help. One lad drained the wrong bolt, empties the tranny, overfills the engine, and drives around for several days... the residual fluid in the torque converter kept him going.

Thanks for quick reply Savanah Buzz, from the PDF it looks like you have to remove the whole frame that the undertray is held in?

Doesn't say it is quite that complex, or it would list that as another line item. Rover wants as many steps as the owners will pay for. But this manual is for a 2004, I can't tell you if the 2005 has different parts. Not many diesels in the US, thanks to marketting department that is convinced we don't want our women folk pumping diesel fuel at the truck stop.
