Standard FL then, did it start ?

A well looked after hippo then :rolleyes: lots of excuses to cover lack of care. Better luck next time, you may find an honest 1. J

Well I gave up trying to find what was leaking and fired the parts cannon at it, new filler neck, new foam gasket, new clamps on fuel filler pipe and breather pipe, new fuel filler pipe, all joints coted in hylomar blue before assembling. Only...

Afternoon folks:). So we had a bit of a cold snap and some of our Air BnB guests seem to have been caught out and stayed a few extra nights, wonder if they are youngsters and will now find a new home here, it would be nice to have some close...

Well, been to look at an 05 Freelander today Much loved by previous owner, only sold it cause his wife didn't like it. Nice TD4 with thick black oil (read treacle) on bottom of the stick Sloppy clutch pedal near bottom of travel (cause it's been...

Mornin Dry bright and cool Bathroom coming along, lots of tiling done and floor prepped :) Volvo bad starting this morning, thinking fuel pressure or maybe filter 🤔 Off for a full English shortly, I deserves it 😛 Be nice if it was as warm out...

We had a glorious day today, spent most of the day helping the dive crew & welding inspectors, doing load tests a whole load of time & wages for countless people for a 30 second lift. They have a deep sea dive frame that we put 25ton on it, 2t...

Had a productive day 3 trees down branches all chipped for mulch, was --4 last night but bright sunshine all day good working weather not to hot, are cat has had flu for 2 days but getting better he keeps sneezing and watery eyes 😹

This, I believe, is a pic of a Metro 1275 engine. So the inlet ports of 1 and 2 are siamesed as are 3 and 4 , but the exhaust ports of 2 and 3 are siamesed, with 1 and 4 being not siamesed to anything. So maybe this is where the confusion has...

There is… Apple can do it all for you. Prolly Android can do the same.

Morning All. :D Kid banging on our bedroom door @ 06:30. I was not impressed. :( Up early as a result. Can't wait to be shot of the pair of them TBH. :( Anyway, have a good day. :D

Thanks, looking at an 08 TD4 HSE at the moment Edit Its a TD4 E GS

As long as it's been maintained with the correct oil and on time, then they'll last for over 250k miles. It's a great engine, with plenty of torque and fuel economy. The TD4 without a DPF suffers from less exhaust type issues, and is rated at 160...

cylinders 1 and 2 share a port as do 3 and 4 so it doesn't make sense If two and three are black then I can't think of a cure off hand Maybe a plug problem, clean em off and swap them around see what happens

I have been fixing various bits and pieces as parts arrive. Today was the rear number plate lights with new lenses and bulb-holders. I also rechecked/redid the timing to see if we can fully eradicate the detonation on throttle opening under some...

2.2 TD4 in the FL2 👍 Perfect - plenty of grunt

Looking to buy a Freelander and as I can't find anything decent amongst the older models I've decided to get something about 15 years old. I was wondering what engine is in the later models 2008 to 2012 ish and are they any good ?

Made a list of all the things I have to do before we go. Now need a rest! ;)

300 TDI

What engine or have I missed something?

Looks like someone’s budgie has escaped

Im having a whiskey. :p

Eye is cleaning me kitchen.

Morning All. :D Sunny & Bright here. :) The Hell-Spawn return here for lodgings tonight and tomorrow night. :( Have a lovely day. :D

Mornin Suns out again New bathroom coming along, walls prepped floor part done. Looks like being a good day all round Stay positive all :)

Frosty oot doors & the sun has got his hat on..... :cool:

...that GWEN the mini has had a full blood and plasma change, along with a new liver. The usual quantity of gearbox was also removed in the process, in the usual tiny little particles attached to the drain-plug magnet. It is now almost...

I saw those too but thought you'd prefer something more authentic.

Plumber not turned up yet, what's wrong with these people ? :confused:

Morning All. :D Sunny and bright here. :) A shopping day. :( Have a great day. :D
