    Freelander 2 (LR2) Diesel Leak when I fill the tank.

    Does it only happen as you brim it, or every time, even if not filled to maximum?

    Which one next?

    Have a chat with these guys - not too far from you. https://www.freelanderspecialist.com/category/freelander-2 You’d certainly be able to take it there and they would have a quick look and advise you if it’s worth doing. I’ve used them a couple of times - not the cheapest, but excellent...

    Freelander Starting Problem

If you have tried the obvious (new battery in fob / spare key / all fuses etc), then my next ‘easy’ check would be the actual car battery. The F2 is power-hungry and a less-than-good battery can...

    Mintex front disc pads part number ?

    Well yes - I imagine most places use fairly generic photos for thing like brake pads, rather than taking lots of individual photos of very similar-looking boxes and items.
