Moved all his stuff out and his ex coming for more cash?

Morning All. :D Car fuelled up for the trip to the Beckenham province of Londonistan. :) Lunch at my Sis's and an afternoon get-together then back home. Have a lovely day. :D

So you want a fast off-road vehicle that handles well doesn’t wallow is good on fuel and low on maintenance…. Not a ‘proper 4x4’ as I don’t think that exists with the above must haves but a would a forester not cover most of it? Suzuki vitara? I...

The n57 has plastic timing chain tensioners annd are not as good. Without very regular oil changes with proper, expensive oils they fail

The Battery is an Exide 12v 100Ah 850A Alternator is an 14v 150A from Ajay car part. Battery reading at standing 12.94v running 14.4v. Thank you.

Just joined forum. My 2009 Freelander 2 has rusty subframes, though at advisory stage only at the moment. My otherwise excellent independent 4 x 4 place does not deal with this kind of repair/treatment and I need advice re Sussex or Kent based...

Cobblers - they have less ground clearance, but I’ve seen them tackle the tough stuff.

Some, not all, are open to any vehicle but must be used via the app. Download it, then take a look - when you don’t link the app to a Tesla, it’ll show the open ones only. You can also filter a map via their website.

Progress is progress… it’s now starting. Put some injector magic into it and give it a bit of a run-up. You really need to now read codes again now, with an LR tool.

THIS works faster

A freelander won't hack it offroad. Sure, it'll do the greenlane, but because it hasn't got low range, the momentum that you'd carry to get over stuff means eventually you'll bash it into something, and so sooner or later you'll break it. A D2...

A disco 2 will fit the bill for your requirements. A V8 will easily keep up with traffic on lane 3 on the motorway. So too will a Td5, although I suspect you want speed over economy. They don’t eat brakes or suspension like a disco 3. I’ve had a...

I dont have personal experience but Freelanders seem to have a pretty good reputation.The early models seem to be more resistant to serious rust. Need to watch for 4wd problems.

Remember @Slooby ? https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/a-series-of-faults.371050/ He’s getting rid of the lot for pennies. Spares tools vehicle the lot. Dawn sawf

Did you get any further with this? I have exactly the same symptoms and have spent a good while scratching my head!

I think it's more likely that they saw the sellotape didn't keep their poor brethren together.

I can't afford to keep both, nor do I really have the space. So did I, but 14mpg was just completely unsustainable, and a diesel is just so slow, at least the handful of them that I drove were. Our old one was a high spec version with air...

Yeah, there's a lot of sellers on eBay, but I just can't get over the fear of getting scammed. I just took the prop off and am considering just reconditioning myself. I have all summer to slowly get the liquids out and in.

Coming from one of the wheel arches so think it might be brakes/suspension, but I'll save that for another thread :)

So, can anyone use the Tesla chargers? I was under the impression they are different to the usual. This is all new to me, my missus has a new EV Mini.

As did I this time round but it was a few years ago when I first bought the D2 Nice of them to do, probably because its costs them roughly £250 a unit 🫣 Mines a few years old now, easier to drop it down the workshop and have it done same day...

What are these days off you speak of? 🤔

The word is getting around about the poisoned nuts you are feeding them. They saw the corpse of their mate. They are onto you now. ;)

Did you try it? Im thinking of doing the same.

I keep trying to instil into you all, us re-tyred folk have six saturdays and one Saturday every week :cool:

yes I beleive so, but only check using gauge, not diagnostics. Nanocom EDC fueling menu doesn't seem to show temperature like my GEMS.
