Today I put mine in van mode for renovating and moving into new abode, which best of all has a detached garage for me to live in. Oh, also looked in the boot cubbyhole and baled it out. Grandson was impressed with my luxury car pond though. Not all cars have that.

Well, didn’t take long to find something else! One of the coolant hoses to the IRD has nearly been split by the gear change mechanism rubbing it as gears are changed. I have managed to move the hoses so it doesn’t chaff anymore. Have to change the hose soon as but didn’t have any handy...

Nasty. That looks painful.

Thanks. Just driven around a bit and I am pretty sure that has sorted out the problem. Leaked a lot from those connectors and I never even considered they could be responsible! Seems to be running better too although that may be psychological! Every day’s a school day. Now to wait for the next...

Received new ‘o’ rings for the injector spill off connectors and fitted them. The old ones were absolutely brittle and useless. Dried up the leaked diesel around the injectors and am really hopeful it was as simple as that to fix 🤞

Thanks, I will have a look.

So I think the leak is the injector return spill pipe. Does anyone know where I can get the replacement brass fittings that go in the top of the injector that replace the plastic ones? Thanks

Found the leak! The top of the injectors was flooded. I am thinking it’s one of the diesel feeds to an injector because if it was an injector leaking like that wouldn’t performance be affected? Which it isn’t.

I was contemplating trying to find the intermittent diesel leak on the FL TD4 but decided it was too cold so wussed out. I am wondering if it could have something to do with the FBH as it occurred to me I haven’t smelt it for a while and on closer inspection concluded that it isn’t actually...

My fuel filter is by the rear wheel but thanks for replying 👍

I have had a look for the templates and have not got them. I do have the cartoon instruction book if you need it?

I seem to have developed a slight diesel leak on the FL1 TD4. I think it drips a little bit from somewhere in between the bulkhead and engine which is leaving a few drips on the floor when parked. The performance and starting is all fine so I am wondering if it’s something to do with the fbh or...

I had the cartoon book of instructions for ages but not seen it for a while. I may have chucked it all somewhere ‘safe’ together. I will have a look tomorrow.

Looks like it’s done about 180 thousand miles if I was to guess

I fitted the Freelander spotlight kit on mine a few years back. Think I got them for about £30 on EBay. And they actually work and everything

Replaced the parking sensor that I replaced a couple of weeks ago with one that will hopefully last longer than a few days like the faulty one I was sent. Now to get my money back from the argumentative company that supplied it who then kept telling me I had the wrong part so it was my fault...

Yes I too smile every time I start off down the road. It’s a great vehicle

159000 and going strong!

I am attached to my Roary. He’s a good lad and seems very happy at the moment. I am so impressed that after 2.5 years of sitting still all it took was a new battery and an oil change to get him merrily bouncing through the roads of Dorset again. Nothing new has dropped off, failed nor seized...

No, I am presuming it’s a faulty part they have sent me. It worked fine for a few days when I put it in then stopped. I had no problems with the sensors until this one stopped working and have only got round to fixing it now. I checked the others and they were clicking and I was...
