Thanks for that. Drove from Calais to st. nazaire, toll roads all the way, could not believe how easy it was not one traffic jam. Sat/ sun However, I do not think it will be the same going back. Leaving Monday morning. Or are toll roads fairly congestion free ? On the way down I was wondering...

Keep your freelander, and tell people they are battle scars ;)

I have a D4 at my disposal at the moment, my experience with them is that if it is a warning on the dash then it would be in Amber or red, along with a message telling you what the problem is. That symbol looks like off road height selected, or a different drive mode selected, not 100% but will...

Found the part I required ordered it, then got a refusal notice, Part not available, not important I am the choke at the moment :) cant remember, apart from the boat, the last vehicle I had with a manual choke

I think the point is they have to drive to the parking bay, I get your point though. Just another tax really.

Heard on the news that Diesel vehicle are going to be charged more to park in and around Westminster. £7.80 an hour IIRC, number plate recognition will sort out the pricing.
