Thanks Tiny great help

First time I have drawn a blank on landyzone

On my way home came out of hotel this morning both front doors wont open on fob hear solenoids clunking trying to open but Nada drivers door opens on key fine. Now have been told that Rover 75 door locks are identical has any one used them as replacments on freelander (half the price of...

Wow read the study with interest is Sasol an oil company? One thging I do know is that I have used 2stroke in the cars for over three years to no ill effect. My old boat that I run on gasoil b ( Spanish version red diesel) had loads of problems with injectors since I have been adding 2stroke no...

Everybody I know uses 2 stroke in the tank where I am even with branded fuel. though with the micro filters on all garage diesel pumps here supermarket aint that different.

Sorry to say that blue smoke symptoms are not a sign of turbo problems they are a sign of bore or ring wear or valve stem seals or valve guide wear. Worn turbo seals in early stages produces light white smoke on overun this rapidly changes to the death of your turbo if you do nothing in huge...

Use both our three door Freelanders topless during summer both TD4s both have hard locking rear shelves so security not a problema also have the shower resistant covers for front and back seats, not that we have ever needed them. Never noticed exhuast fumes in the cabin wonder if this only...

Happend to my wife a few years ago died at traffic lights Luckily the Green flag man owned a freelander.

Truth is the M47 engine is no worse on fracturing crankshafts than any other small diésel engine, what does go is the crankshaft damper

I know of 1 L series with over 250000 on the clock and still running fine, my father in laws 2002 TD4 just passed 230000 first VCU change 169000 Injectors and turbo changed 156000 clutch at 200000 has never let him down. Unlike his 2000 110 county thats allways letting him down

Its not the turbo ,turbo seals going clouds of white smoke heavily smelling of oil Last one I saw like this valve guides worn, One before that bore wear plus broken ring you need to do compression test, sorry

sounds like a turbo pipe fooked when you find which one replace with silicon . there is allways a film of oil in the turbo pipes so it could be just a loose clip. on the worst side it could be the first warning that turbo seals are on there way out. If it suddenly starts to rev its balls off...

2 grands a bit pricy daughters cost 1500 quid 2003 td4 90000 full service history full leather 2 owners and there were plenty more like it dotted round the country 120000 + and your coming up to injector problems for a start forgot to add full set of winter tyres on 15in rims included

Thats taking the **** when I was in hospital my wife took her TD4 to a Bosch service center 380 +vat including recon injector

That was with blizzard just after Milau

2002 TD4 3 door 136000 on clock new injectors month ago tube of 2stroke added every tank Calais to Castellon 763 miles using Clermont Milau bridge route 70mph + or -2 to 5mph fuel consumption 39.7mpg

My run back to Spain using the Millau bridge route averaged 47 mpg at a steady 70

Living in Spain all diesel is micro filtered at pump so fuel filters last much much longer than Uk so most of us use supermarket cooking diesel to no ill effect,I have though got the Spanish habit of adding a tube of 2stroke mineral oil to each fill up though

Whilst in England back window cable went having no tools dropped it into a garage, bad move they managed to break alloy glass holders ####wits,as I was traveling back to Spain in 12 hours had to go with back window jamed up. Now back home nobody seems to be breaking a freelander, so anybody...
