So, after years of playing in other people's landy's it was probably time to get my own! Found an '02 plate, 3dr, Freelander 1 TD4 with a little over 140k miles on the clock, a pretty new clutch, only slightly leaky roof and new (if cheap) tyres for pretty cheap. Since buying it in January she's been to the alps and back suffering the standard loss of power over 70mph and breaking down on the way back after going through a full tank in sub 200 miles, did get a nice sunset picture though!
After the OH has removed the egr valve, cleaned the inlet manifold and the inlet air temp sensor and replaced the solenoid on the turbo, it seems to be running pretty well, definitely picking up quicker. Did manage to throw a mug of tea down the back of the dash, which promptly exited into the passenger footwell, everything seemed fine until I noticed a distinctly doggy smell, so I'm about to change the pollen filter to rectify that (although that's a logical-ish guess so any suggestions gladly received)!
Have done a bit of off-roading, we went to visit Imber over Easter opening this year, mostly went through puddles, but would love to do more
