Freelander service

Hello all,

As my '03 TD4 is due a service, I have decided to attempt this myself rather than pay the eye watering prices charged by local garages.

I know I will have to change the oil and filter, air filter and spark plugs, but can anyone give me some advice as to what else will need to be changed / inspected, and what would be the best oil to use? The last service was a year / 10,000 miles ago.

It has been some time since I attempted this on a car myself, so any advice is very welcome.

Thanks,

Craig.

Don't try it.
Something in your post tells me you aint capable.

Good luck changing the spark plugs on a td4:doh:

If I can change a window regulator then I can do a 10K service!

The only reason I haven't tried this before, is that I wanted to keep the service book fully stamped. Now that I will be keeping the car forever it isn't as cost effective as doing it myself.

then I am sure you are more than capable of changing the spark plugs in a diesel engine.

don't forget to change the crankcase breather filter too. not in the service schedule but an absolute must.

here is a link to show you what, when and how:

Thanks for the detailed reply.

Have you ever serviced a a diesel before?

A good starting point would be the concept of diesel ignition, then take your service from there. Perhaps seek some help in locating those spark plugs!

Just searched everywhere on my Td4 and couldn`t find them, eventually found some in a box in my garage
