Well here i am 1 week into owning my Freelander TD4 auto 02 plate (72k). I have had a Range Rover before so regardless of those raised eye brows from friends and family who thought i knew better working in the trade, i bought one regardless.
The list to do so far..
OSR door check strap almost totally seized new one on order, Kids get in other side
Sump cover removed and refitted twice and im almost an expert during which i examine the auto box leaking through where the two casings join ! Its a new auto box but im struggling to find who fitted it as it may be warranty.
On standby is a tin of Wynns Stop leak & Conditioner
Does anyone have any opinion on this and whether it will fix, Its not a bad leak, Its like a dog, everywhere i park it it leaves its mark, usually the size of a 10p
CD autochanger ordered at a knockdown price of £25 + vat
Service kit ordered after the job of inspecting the filter i decided the next time i struggled with the allen screws it would be to the benefit of a new filter.Haynes manual awards three spanners to the job of replacing the fuel filter so im expecting a laugh there too this weekend
Squeak to sort from parcel shelf
Screws to replace from a past life (engine cover, frt bumper etc), It must be a fact these things get lighter each year with the things that get removed and never refit.
And after all this and being used to japanese reliablility, owning it a week and it leaks
I actually rather like it and in a strange way it wouldn't be a Landrover if it didnt have its quirks
Im typing this now so in months to come when im broke with no skin left of my knuckles and a question why, it will help me smile.
