    For the MTF94, go to the main dealer, they should have it, it comes in 5 Litter. Also undo first the filler plug before the drain plug. For the rear diff, there is no drain plug, simply use a sringe to remove old oil and put new one in.

    Garage that say it doesn’t worth to fix It, should not be trusted. If a garage told me that I find an another one. Find an other garage that can fix It. A freelander 1 TD4 in good condition can cost 4000 to 5000 euros in France.

    Freelander I TD4 rumble

    Hi, Depending from where the rumble comes, you can drive like that for a time, but not that long. At least if you can go under the car, you can check yourself the VCU supports, cracked rubber are pretty obvious. Regards.
