Question 1:How does a tw#t get to 14,992 posts ? (Your charming Phrase not mine) My point exactly about being a Keyboard Warrior. Answer:By posting his usual sh#te day in and day out. You are an idiot and again your name calling to anybody who has the audacity to tell you you are wrong and...

I'm up for some light hearted banter but when the the chief t#sser/Keyboard warrior Slob pipes up it leaves me with no option but to have a pop back. To many posts on here end up off topic because one of the usual thread trolls fancies posting crap up and offending people who need help and...

I'm with TD4 on this one, if any user doesnt like the content of a thread then why resort to rude and childish remarks aimed at the author of the thread. Simple '' DONT READ IT'' You cannot stop straight away any user that wants to add the usual sh#te post to a thread, just laugh at their...

The part is about £40 and can be done DIY if you have basic spanner skills. Its not hard as the part is a complete item and takes about an hour to do. When we had this problem it got worse very quickly so much so you couldnt trust it to even pull away as the pedal would stay down and then...

I agree it wont be your glow plugs, these only help with the starting, when its running they dont do anything. Get your fuel pressure checked as already mentioned, when you boot it its drawing fuel at a higher rate than at lower speeds and runs fine. It could also be a faulty injector which...

I know somebody who had a clutch done on a 1.8 Freelander, he took it to one of the fast fit clutch centres (Mr Clutch ?) or something like that, anyway it was done in a day for £350 all in. The stealers wanted £700.

It will a split oil cooler hose not a rad hose, to a none mechanically minded guy they probably look the same. and the oil cooler hose is low down in the engine bay. Replace the hose, add more oil then steam clean the engine and bay.

It is becoming more common for companies to use independant dealers to service cars but again check everything, you are paying top dollar for the car so piece of mind is extremely important. My current company used to use a local mechanic until i proved that he was just doing an oil and...

I agree you should delay the sale until all service history is available on collection of the car. It will be a priority for them if you wont pay for or collect the car until all documents are present, if you let them supply it at a later date we all know you will be still chasing it this time...

Question for you guys. A petrol station i passed in Liverpool yesterday was selling Bio Diesel for 79p per litre, never seen it before. Is this acceptable to put into a TD4 as a long term alternative to standard Diesel ?

Well said Blippie, a good honest and simple response. Pitty others dont understand the meaning of a simple and constructive post. To answer the original question, get your concerns with this particular car sorted before committing to the purchase, me personally i would always avoid the 1.8...

Had a similair problem yesterday whilst travelling back from Stratford. Car low on fuel (TD4) drove into Sandbach services, filled it up tried to start it but it just turned over without firing. Never done this before.:confused: Tried several times, i then locked the car up and opened it...

I have had one on my wifes 02 TD4 manual for over 2 years. It does improve throttle response and it also last a lifetime if cleaned properly. I too have a Roverron box as well as the filter and the car is transformed :D

Is the carpet damp on the passenger side. Heater Matrixes are known to fail. Problem becomes more evident when the heater has been on. You have mentioned that your Wife has driven it (Heater on) and then it needed 1/2 a pint to top up. Run the car and then turn the heater up full and see how...

It is the front brakes dissengaging, as they say '' They all do that sir '' its a known issue but nothing to worry about.

From the symptoms you describe it should be your rear diff mounting bushes, 1/2 hour job and about £25 for parts. When they go the car makes a clunk when you have slowed and then re-apply power (when turning a corner say).

On your picture its the small pipe on the left of the front of the EGR Valve.

So all 4 tyres dont come into contact with the road then if its only 2WD ?:rolleyes: Being 2WD or 4WD will have nothing to do with the noise generated from tyres. Unless you know something we dont. Maybe his front tyres float :D I used a spare set of wheels and tyres to prove my problem...

Its your tyres without a doubt, just because tyres are the same type they can be made a different times, sometimes months/years apart and this can make a difference to how each tyre performs. Tyres should be matched the build date of the tyres is printed on the side in a code, this web page...

Ignore my last post it was meant for a Subaru forum not here.
