    BP Ultimate Diesel for TD4

    Hi guys Any of you boys use BP Ultimate diesel in your TD4? If so, do you notice any difference, either in economy or performance? I filled up with it at the weekend but I believe it can take a while for your engine to 'adjust' to better fuel (?), and I haven't done enough driving to...

    Freelander TD4 Servicing in GLasgow

    I was quoted £480 by Taggarts in Motherwell for a service and went to Whites in Edinburgh, who are a Land Rover specialist - half the price!

    48k TD4 Service: Dealer v Specialist

    Not at all, I take good humour well normally. I'm on a couple of other high-performance car forums and don't have problems there. Not that I have a problem here, mind you..... And I'm happy to say that I've had some good feedback about my original post anyway (thanks Biggeeee) and I'll be...

    48k TD4 Service: Dealer v Specialist

    Not quite the way I'd describe it but, yes, in a way you're probably right. 'Thanks' anyway.

    48k TD4 Service: Dealer v Specialist

    Well, because I dare say I'd sound a right tw@t, wouldn't you think? I'm fully aware that my vehicle is to be serviced in line with the service schedule, no matter how many miles it has covered. My question was aimed more specifically at getting feedback as to particular checks or changing of...

    48k TD4 Service: Dealer v Specialist

    Why, is he another one of the stereotypical posters that frequent car forums with the expectancy that everyone that posts should have a level of expertise similar to him? Or maybe that might just be you? Is it really such a daft question?

    48k TD4 Service: Dealer v Specialist

    Thanks for the replies. My Landy has actually only done 24k miles, but it's technically due a 48k miles service according to the schedule. Does it make any difference given that I haven't actually covered 48k miles?

    48k TD4 Service: Dealer v Specialist

    Hi Guys I've just had a phone round looking for prices for a 48k service on my 2005 TD4. My local dealer quoted me £490 - I just about fell off the bloody chair! :eek: I also phoned a Land Rover specialist in Edinburgh (Whites - anyone ever used it?) and they've quoted £273, with a "diesel...

    Fitting Spotlamp Pod Kit

    I had non-genuine spots on my old petrol FL and they were great (and much easier to fit!). I now have a facelift TD4 and, for the brand new pods (£30 on ebay), I felt they were too good to miss. I notice there is another set on at the moment for about £40ish (brand new). Just got the fitting...

    Gutless when cold TD4

    Yup, same 'problem' with my TD4 too when cold. Saying that, I don't really see it as a problem and thought it was perfectly normal - simply waiting for the engine to get up to temperature? I'm not fussy about it at all, but should I be......?

    Fitting Spotlamp Pod Kit

    Thanks for the reply Steve. It's the facelifted model I have and, according to the instructions, there's various bits of drilling into the bumper required, along with taking out parts of the bumper with a saw to enable the internal fittings to sit into it. It seems straightforward...

    Fitting Spotlamp Pod Kit

    Hi All - newbie here! :) Apologies for hijacking this thread, but my query kinda relates to this subject anyway. I've just bought a set of these lights (VUB500870) to fit to my 2005 TD4. Now this may seem like a stupid question, but are these lights for use when 'main beam' is on or for use...
