Yep that is a show stopper to be honest. However, it's just a possibility, do check please. Could also be something silly.

Could be the rear diff, but also this: http://freelanderowner.blogspot.com/2009/08/cracked-chassis.html

I am still waiting for my new halfords tool kit so I can remove the elbow pipe before, mine has been "borrowed". There is indeed some oil additive that supposed to cure the valve tapping but this is not the case. I am also considering putting 10w40 semi synthetic instead of the 5w40 fully one...

You mean the valve lifter yes?

Those dials look fugly to me. Chrome rings are well ok if you are in that sort of thing, I would like some matte aluminium...

Thank you, I will remove it in the morning and start it that way. Turbo did start a high pitch whistle lately, I hope that's it (warranty)

I will have a look. Seems like is not smoking on load... No chance of this being from injectors? as I can still cancel the order of those if there is a bigger issue requiring engine replacement or car scrapping.

Is this the one? Thanks That one is new, oem.

No, from exhaust. Crankcase breather is new.

Hi guys, I am getting loads of blue smoke now. At least on idle, and it seems to be more when cold outside. Nothing on tester, no error. New MAF, New MAP, recon Turbo. Checked/replaced all vacuum and intercooler hoses. EGR valve and solenoid checked, works fine. Is there anything else from...

I guess the reason why td4s survive more and still run is because it tolerates more abuse. Sure it has hard to find issues, but in the petrol the issues are easy to find but usually serious and requiring head or inlet manifold off (gasket, dropped liners, piston rings, etc) I am not giving up...

Easy suggestion, swap the seats over and sell the td4 cheaper. That's what I would do, win win. Very easy job I'm sure you know it. Unfortunately what I've learned in England si that in most cases price is more important than condition etc. I am looking for a 1.8 myself now, would like 3 doors...

Oh I see. I don't think anyone knows where those seats are coming from. Nice to have just hoping I don't need to replace any, as I will have to replace all interior.

By seeing I mean I am subscribed to all freelander auctions, breaking etc. And I've seen a few come and go, latest for example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143369541502 Microcat has too many options, can't do much without a vin. Perhaps you can PM your vin so we at least know what it came with...

Hi Nodge, Well yours included is the fifth freelander I am seeing with these seats. Perhaps they are oem after all, although only seen on facelifts. Might be on special vehicles or something, these are very high quality and they don't rip off in time. There was an auction for a td4 that went for...

Fiited these nice leather seats which for 100 quid I am expecting the police to accuse me of stealing.

The one lower is for exhaust, unrelated in this case. LE: sorry missed the whole discussion, I see is clarified.

Looks like a tiny little scam to me.

The egr valve or blank?

4mm silicone however make sure you get 8mm and 9mm clips for that.
