We had a 2002 V6 auto a few years ago and loved it but just couldn't live with the mpg's (lack of them). Always wanted a nice TD4 but they always had lunar miles on if they were within budget.
Found this one parked on a drive just down the road with a forsale sign in the screen and snapped it up beginning of sept.
Sat on 100k with decent tax and test, cd changer, heated black leather,aircon and 17in alloys.
First job replace one of the rear tints as the corners were peeling, bit of a pain in the arse but well happy with the finish
Then within a day the brake lights stuck on, no 3 amigos. Went straight to the main dealers and grabbed a new brake switch with loom.
Purchased this and had the chap come and fit it as he's based locally
Land Rover Advanced CR2 Multimap Diesel Tuning Box - Microprocessor Controlled | eBay
Got it set on low end torque/economy with a small tweak, rather than the out and out power through the rev range setting. Personally Don't think you should be revving the nuts off diesels. Drives really well with it set as it is.
Serviced it myself the following week,
Oil+filter
Crankcase filter
Turbo vent filter
air filter
Pollen filter
Didn't bother with a fuel filter as it had been replaced last year when it had a new fuel pump fitted.
Then it all went wrong is spectacular fashion
The wife killed the IRD on the school run at 5mph no prior warning signs at all
So unfortunately my flexible friend took a bit of a hammering.
As it stands now it has had:
IRD replaced
VCU replaced (bell engineering)
Prop Bearings/mounts replaced
Rear diff mounts replaced
2x Rear tyres to make all 4 match (falken ze12's)
My job for this morning is to fit this EGR Bypass
