There's no filter with the BMW part, thats the whole point of it, just a plastic piece and a couple of seals with an O ring

In road use, I've found that my L Series performs almost exactly the same in 2WD as 4WD. Wheel spin basically non-existant and no electronic kick in from TC.

Its only when I take it places that a 2WD car shouldn't go that the TC lights up!

This was my concern too as im not the main driver of this vehicle, but took it for a thrash and these were my exoeriences

2. Handlings not much different, in fact feels better around corners.
3. No scrabbling of wheels but it is an auto box, so wheel spins are out of the question , and I have 3 amigos at present so cant comment on the tc, will have to test it in the wet.

Ah, okay. I was driving a 1.8 manual in 2wd mode in cold and wet weather, which probably explains it, as it has much more power than the L series and the damp & wet conditions made it more frisky.

By comparison, my TD4 was planted, secure and no wheelspin. I've only had wheel spin in it on snow/mud, unlike the 2wd 1.8 manual where I was getting wheel spin all the time.

Today I have been mostly taking of my inlet manifold, and other associated bits, to diagnose a leaking injector..

More money!!!!!!!

Wheel spin is a real problem for the V6!! Extreme care is required at junctions

Got the diff tail seal and drive shaft seal replaced at Durham4x4.

Greased the sunroof as much as I could without taking the headlining out.

Other than that, I am sitting in it as these is the only place I have found near our cottage that has internet

Visited Matt in Scarborough to collect some roof rails which he kindly fitted too in the rain. Finishes off the rear.
Thanks Matt

Believe it or not we didn't get home until after 7pm as went visiting. I'm going to give it a clean and polish if weather is good tomorrow.

Hi all. Collected from the garage this morning after yesterday's MOT. Passed with no advisories.

Very pleased.

Will treat her to a good wash and polish tomorrow.

Hope everyone else having a good day.

Fitted a leather steering wheel.

duncanpage4 · Mar 29, 2014

Drove from Seaford to Failsworth in just under 4 hours early this morning.
Car did approx 29mpg at a steady 90mph.
I should have gone slower but I was eager to get there!!
Will try to stick to a steady 70mph in the way home!!

Dangermike · Mar 29, 2014

Drove it around looking for a scrap yard with a freelander in ..... No luck, tried to see if I took apart the door actuator if I could see why is isn't unlocking with the remote..... When I out it all back in the knob doesn't go down any more!!

And still doesn't unlock

I've fitted a fuel guage float and new tow bar plate .

Found out after work that the spare wheel doesn't fit. (Looks the same just won't fit for with enough thread showing)

Top tip make sure your spare wheel actually fits
