The fuel filter in your 2004 Landrover Freelander is located inside the fuel pump module assembly. You must remove the fuel pump module from the vehicle and disassemble the fuel pump module to replace the filter. The fuel pump module is accessable by moving your rear seat and pulling the loadspace carpet back to get to the fuel pump access panel.

Hello cq mckinney7 : My name is Roger and I will help you. The fuel filter is underneath the car and located on the frame rail, near the fuel tank. Should be right in front of the tank. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
The most likely location for the pump and filter will be mounted on the body behind the rear wheel arch liner on the right hand side of the car, (driver's point of view).
As a Land Rover Tech I can tell you that it is true that there is no filter on the series2 there is a small screen at the bottom of the pump pickup that acts as a filter,If you feel this is clogged you can remove the pump by pulling up the rear cargo area carpet as recommended above then just use break clean to clean the screen.Make sure you replace the pump gasket as a faulty gasket will cause a check engine light and a little trick I use is to put a small amount of vaseline on the gasket to ease installation.Also a quick note on series 1 filters is that the lines usually cease up causing the connections to break or damage when removing.I highly recommend getting the repair kit available at the dealer or rovers north before attempting to replace the filter .BUT IN REGULAR 2004 lan-drover discovery there is fuel filter located.
Removing the fuel filter
The fuel filter is located on bulk head, to left hand side of the engine. 1: Start by cleaning the area around the filter head.2: Place a container beneath the fuel filter to catch any spillage.3: Loosen the bleed screw using a 10mm spanner4: Unscrew the drain tap on the bottom of the filter until the fuel starts coming out into your the container.5: Once all the fuel is drained from the filter, unscrew the whole filter assembly.
Fitting the new fuel filter
6: Clean the seal & seating on the new filter.7: Put a small amount of fuel around the rubber seal to lubricate it.8: Screw the new filter onto the filter head and tighten by hand.10: Tighten the bleed screw.11: You can now crank the engine until fuel is drawn through the system and the engine starts.Job done!

The motor is probably ok,empty the fuel tank, change the fuel filters,and drain the fuel lines.Engine may need to be run several miles before feeling normal.
