You didn't take your big gas guzzling 4x4 through London? You get egg'd by angry eco people?

Pretty good price that!

New pollen filter arrived in the post yesterday. I fitted it this morning then took it to Kwik-Fit for an air-con re-gas.
Now the air-con works like it was supposed to! Even with the windows down it was freezing cold!
The guy at the garage told me the air-con pipes were empty so someone must have had the system apart sometime in the past.

£49 to re-gas.
They don't charge if it doesn't work though. They spent 40min gassing my grandparents Toyota Picnic onto to find the compressor isn't working. According to their machine the re-gas process worked fine & it retained the gas. They didn't charge my grandparents though as there's no way of proving it worked.
My air-con did nothing before the re-gas & is ice cold now it's been done.

Nope, they didn't mention any tyres! I thought about asking for a price on some A/T tyres but I've always found Kwik-Fit to be pricey!

Did a compression test. Not good results. Cyl 2 considerably down on the other 5. Explains the misfire. Doesn't help with what to do next!

Went out to the Freelander this morning to a puddle of coolant under the engine.

Garage recon it's the water pump.

Great

a good opportunity for a new cambelt and tensioner though
