Had my 53 Mk1 facelift TD4 for 5 years, has cost me no more than any other vehicle. Have thought about selling it but it's so reliable that I'd be a fool to do so. Currently on 90K, serviced & MOT'd once a year. Drove to Italy last year plus various trips to France, I don't think twice about...

Not me, I've never seen another white 4 door FL. I have however just driven it down to Italy & back...no problem, brilliant car!

None of you appreciate style....here's mine!!! :eek: It even has a tree growing out of the roof, must be trying to hide for some reason???

So sorry for your loss & heartache. Best wishes for the future

Forgive me if I'm wrong but that doesn't look like the BMW TD4 engine!

I got an app called 'Road trip' a few months ago & was shocked to discover I was only doing 22 mpg. I can be quite heavy footed & will often use the kick down. I drove the next tank very steady & was pleased to push it up to 26mpg, all based on town driving & short cold trips. I went on a 400+...

I'm not sure the bolts are there to hold them on. They are actually more like plastic lugs. I tried to get the front ones off to get to the temp sensor for the FBH but gave up! PS the gaffer tape was as a result of my daughter trying to move a skip with the car!!! She lost!

How apt!!!!!

I shall turn right tomorrow onto my drive with much in-convenience as there is not actually much room to do so. For peace of mind I hope your assumption is right but I will not let SWMBO know as she was not too impressed with yet another bill (for her car!!) I might post a picture tomorrow as...

Yes.......why ?where you going with this? (think I know) 'cos I've just spent £160 today having just the offside rear spring replaced although I did ask for both rears to be replaced. They done just the off side but it still appears to be leaning!! A few months ago I did have something done...

Just noticed that my FL leans to the off side from the rear. Tyres are correct & having measured from the ground to the top of the wheel arch there is a 1 inch difference. I checked my driveway with a spirit level which proved to level. I'm assuming the off side spring is weaker or knackered...

Yep have had the same, starter motor

The Freelander does not do well in any review, it obviously has it's problems well covered in this forum.......however I've had my 53 auto TD4 now with 72K for 2.5 years & can honestly say it is the best car I've had (which may not say much for the others!!). It does everything I ask of it esp...

I was wondering what I would do to stop an automatic! Have to ask the question though Nick, which part of the intake pipe do you rip off & block??

Joy!! I shall look forward to this then With thanks Dann
