    MPG TD4 Auto

    Bollocks...bollocks.....bollocks Unless your speedo is correctly calibrated to the tyre size your running (original setups are typically 8-12% below) then you dont really have a clue what MPG your getting. Im running on 215/80/15s which when new will give a nearly accurate reading, but...

    tyre choice

    215/80/15 or 205/80/16 are tallest you will fit on FL without cutting the arches or fouling suspension....believe you can also get a 225/75/15 with a 30mm spacer

    Vibration

    Definitely tyres if its thrumming:confused: Would say damper if it had been clonking....Thinks we need a full definition of all freelander noises... Clonking frpm the middle = Clanking from front = Grinding from the back = Squealing from the driver = Just got bill from stealer etc etc etc

    Was in the Lakes this weekend and the doors didnt fall off.

    SWMBO had mine out yesterday and went through a flood ... (think it was burst main rather than weather) ... reckoned it was deeper than ones she drove through this summer so I reckon must be about 3ft at least.... Not seen motor yet but apparently has full compliment of doors etc. Possible...

    engine mangment light

    Often caused by lambda sensor or knackered cat, but can be caused by numerous things...you need someone with a simple OBII (Depending on age of motor) code reader who can check whats causing faults to start with. You will now be told by thems that wear mad hats etc that you were a fookwit...

    the landy has gone

    Tis madness indeed..... FL prices have dropped dramatically but personally dont think they will drop any further so you might as well get as many more miles as possible from it without any further depreciation.... Luckily mines early 2001 so the tax ****e dont get me (yet) and although not tax...

    Title "NOISE FROM FRONT END" was it a dealer recall I missed but my VCUs still in the middle:confused:
