    Freelander 1 Td4 Engine oil now overfilled?

    They did it the old way and filled in what they took in l. Was there earlier and they said it would be fine. Bit odd, have shown him one of the pictures. Asked me if I would have turned the dipstick around, said no only for the picture to lift a bit. Checked again when home looks the same like...

    Here is something from the manufacturer. It shows NOx as NO2 as mentioned on the bottom of the page. Shall be only outside as I was told. The reduction measured was about 50%.

    Freelander 1 Td4 Engine oil now overfilled?

    Thanks @Arctic2, yes l did the same, filled up 5l and waited it for a while and filled by .5l increments, but those blokes in the garages seem never to have time. Yes, changed the PCV myself around same time as the car wasn't good to drive.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Yes, true. I had a R19 years back with LPG. It was really good, could travel for next to nothing. Got stolen in Lewisham. Neighbour there talked to the thieves and they told him I wouldn't have paid the road tax. It was a German reg.o_O. It was a 1.9l at 90 hp, could have lasted forever that engine.

    Freelander 1 Td4 Engine oil now overfilled?

    Morning All, Last or the week before the car was in the garage for oil change and I was wondering if it's now really overfilled. I cleaned the stick several times and when I did it it was always midway through where I left it filled, but this looks too much. Couldn't make it due to weather this...

    Rear Lights

    For the '02 model I couldn't get another socket. LR said only the whole rear lamp for the bumper provides the socket needed. Just in case anyone needs it. Also searched up and down google to find one, nothing so far.

    Freelander 1 Tailgate Handles

    This is one from Amazon. Received it yesterday evening to see if any good. Bit more expensive than the one from the link though, but seems to be ok, quality wise.

    If you read a bit deeper than mainstream you might find out what it really was. An author said in an interview it was an attack on Germany.

    Tailgate Door Handle replacement

    Another handle fell off today. LR called for 550£, more than the car's worth.o_O Found one on Amazon for 78, guess will go down that route.

    Freelander 1 Euro 6 conversion? Charge?

    No, I have a piece installed that improves the combustion process of the fuel and with that reduces the emissions. I had talked to DVLA years ago, but that would need to go via MP, which is a bit ridiculous, but recently found that there might be upgrades to improve emissions 'officially'. If...

    Freelander 1 Low pressure fuel pump.

    I had a Bosch ordered back then, but sent it back as Metzger was half the price and still is. Odd thing read a comment from Spain this morning, someone had ordered a Bosch and when scratching the sticker off it came out with TI Automotive, so wondering if they are the same. Price is very similar.
