as long as the oil has an API or ACEA number and you get the correct petrol or diesel type you will be fine Ive noticed some of the really cheap oils (asda smartprice types) don't have these numbers so I would avoid. The 5w30 oils are for more modern engines not really anything to do with mpg...

I did some full on wading in my freelander last weekend on the Christmas laning trip and my doors stayed on :D so there!!!! :P

as a freelander owner there are way to many to mention but the outstanding one for me is needing to take the fuel pump off to do glow plug number 4 when they could have just inclined the pump by 45 degrees to solve the problem!! lol

pump timing?

a few pics that we took :)

Lol course I did!!

Im pretty sure the down wheels didn't move I had my head out of the window and I could hear the pump going but the front wheel was still spinning I was expecting to see it pulsing but it was just turning!

The brakes work fine! mmmm its a puzzler! lol

Huddersfield is only 4 miles away for those who want a travel lodge etc ( I don't work for the holmfith tourist board BTW! lol )
