When I looked at Freelanders I felt like I found more local ones on ebay. There were a few on autotrader though.

Yeah, your making sense buddy and thanks for the PM. Never really thought about possible blockage too. The car runs like a dream, very stable idle etc. Fairly quiet too for a diesel.

South Yorkshire (Rotherham) I do travel to an extent but not as far as somerset lol.

It's black smoke too so something to do with fueling?

I know there are a few threads on this and I think injectors could be the cause. I have tried some STP injector cleaner and no difference. Still unwilling to try my synergy 2 properly as when I do it smokes very very badly. So I have serviced the car. Air filter Oil and oil filter Fuel...

Too much as your bloody miles away.

It was this or range rover but the fuel and tax on a range rover scared me. Discos and defenders were too agricultural for me...

My reason is that I need something bigger than what I currently have to shift all my detailing gear around. I have my own detailing business and didn't fancy a van.

I have some satin black hammerite in the cupboard. Thats a job for next weekend (unless something else comes up. I am going to do both rear drums and the front calipers.

Sure can. I started off with an all pupose cleaner pre-wash and gave all the plastics, trim, griles a good clean out with a detailing brush and all purpose cleaner (Bilt hamber surfex HD). Arches again done with bilt hamber and various brushes. Wheels were done with with autobrite wheel...

I know buddy, problem is I'm skint. I was just going to get a cover for it. Ideally a hard gloss black one. I did get one off ebay that was listed for a landrover and put a sneeky low bid it. Won it and when I picked it up it was from a bigger landrover as it was huge. So wasn't any good.

And While we are at it. Can you see that small leak under the front of the car. Is that where the oil filter is or radiator fill up? I have service both recently. However, haven't looked.

Well I have had it for 3 weeks. I'm surprised it's lasted this long before being detailed as it's what I do but I have just been so busy. In fact it's actually no where near the standard I'd like it to be but it was taking a long time and the sun was drying the polish very quickly... If only I...

I took a video of the heat gun method however, it probably isn't great due o me filming with one hand and using the other on the gun. Failing that there are loads of videos on YouTube. The back to black stuff is ok but only ever a tempory solution. I'm going to head gun the rest in a minute...

Thanks buddy, its got a long way to go yet. Needs looks of little bits sorting too.
