    HSE auto fuel efficiency

    Yes, she was a bit more expensive than the other auto, a 55 plate SE that I looked at, but she’s a real beauty so it’s not surprising. Might have to seriously consider changing to a manual

    Do you have one to swap? :p Thanks for your help. I did think that would be my only real option, and I appreciate your quick replies to my thread

    So basically there’s nothing I can do unless I change my job and have to drive motorway miles? :(

    HSE auto fuel efficiency

    Hello all, Looking for a bit of info or help please. After a recent crash I am now the somewhat proud owner of a very lovely 54 plate HSE TD4 auto. She’s a real beauty. Black, leather seats, no scuffs or dings. I really like her. My only pet peeve is her MPG! I have to drive shorter roads...

    Thank you! Will be nipping into Halfords after work :) some of the other brands online say to use these cleaners every few thousand miles - do you do something like this that frequently? Or is that kind of frequency just for those of us who commonly do short journeys?

    Hi all, sorry if I babble but I have very bad luck with cars, so before I freak out (I don't have a lot of money for another potential garage bill) I'm after a little advice please. I have an 03 TD4 Freelander that, in the last 24hrs, has started juddering when in neutral. The revs don't change...

    Thank you so much, all replies have been a brilliant help! I will make sure the garage looks at all these things to make sure I don't have to take it back again :) I will be ringing them Tuesday to get it booked in. Will let you all know the outcome

    Thanks! My dad test drove the landy too, he says the VCU is fine. He has a 53 facelift landy that needed the VCU doing, so he knows how it should feel & drive when it's faulty and when it's fine. He also made sure the tyres were the same with the same tread depth. But the support bearings sound...

    Wow, thank you! Yes I'm Telford, down the M54 from Cosford :) I need to phone the garage Tuesday when they're back open. So I can at least give them an idea of the possible cause. Could this have been caused by them replacing the turbo? They needed to remove the front of the car to get to it...
