Oh dear once again I haven't driven the Freelander 04 TD4) for a while I really should drive it more just to check.
A few days back I could smell that old familiar smell of diesel just like being back on the tank park with Chieftains. Slight diesel leak from somewhere I didn't have a chance to try and trace it but the MOT was booked in for today I thought I'd leave it. Also on driving it I discovered turning to the right on some corners was resulting in a clunk. I sometimes wonder why I ask. "How long has it been making that clunk turning right" I asked? "What clunk noise?" was the somewhat expected reply. "That clunk noise it's just made as I turned right" I hopefully replied. Knowing I was getting nowhere fast I gave up. A quick check over yesterday revealed the drivers side wiper blade was coming loose as I'd used the wrong plastic clip on the wiper arm hook when I'd recently replaced it.
So MOT normally I can get a look underneath as I used to live two doors down from the garage owner however I had to drop it off and go back to the inlaws. MOT done and passed, advisory on some corrosion on brake pipes which we had last year. There is wear on the o/s front suspension ball joint making the clunk. Also I asked if they could have a look for the diesel leak, apparently number 1 injector is leaking slightly. As it's done 67K is that normal I've never had an injector start leaking on any other car?
