NOT the red one - that will bugger the system.! LR recommend Pentosin CHF 202, but others will meet the ford spec. It is a green fluid.

Nevva Well, not much...

Make sure to use the correct PS fluid...

Don’t know if this would help you or not. Guy called Graeme Cooper in Dalkeith, Edinburgh has a ton of stuff to do with lr’s. I was there a little while back gettin some stuff and there was some of these sitting. All working order. Worth giving...

There is a pollen filter in the cabin, in the passenger seat footwell...

Think the air filter was due 😃 I'd say that filter is years old

You're right Managed to get a 27mm socket on it and free it off a bit but then realised that as I unscrewed the filter top it would wind out and jam on the radiator housing so it has to be a spanner :rolleyes: I don't have a flexi head 27mm...

Never had to get to mine on the F1 so unsure, but on the F2 you need a cut-away socket to turn the nut and hold the allen key in place. You just can't get the angle / depth with a spanner. ... and don't over-tighten!!!

Investigated knocks and rattles from the front suspension today. Whipped off the drop links and went for a quick spin. The links were pretty tired and most of the noises were eliminated, except the worst knock. New HD links on order and the...

No can't ignore it any longer I'll have to have a look

The oil filter housing is a bit awkward to get off. Most use a flex-head spanner (27mm)

It's cold in Cornwall, didn't ya know that?

Ok I'll stop ignoring just this once. Yes ta, 800 miles and only 2 faults. Temp said -22 in Cornwall, and check brake pads which I did and they were still there, they were still there 315 miles later when I got home :) EDIT: Should I ignore the...

Didn't read that

Oh yeah - please ignore my previous question (that you wont see anyway)

Magnatec 5w 30 is what I used recently - meets non-DPF WSS M2C913 C

LR specify an oil which meets Ford specification WSS–M2C934–B for DPF equipped vehicles, and WSS–M2C913–B or C without a DPF. The 5.9L capacity is the same for both grades. I've no idea if the VW specification would be OK, but normally a DPF...

For conformation if a DPF is fitted or not. Look at the 8th character on the VIN. If it's a B then no DPF is fitted, if it's a C, then a DPF is fitted. This is correct up to 2011MY. No. There's no DPF fitted, which is why I chose that model year. ;)

Thread hijack (can you hijack an 'ignore' thread...?) Good holiday?

You have to ignore the thread - that's what it said. But check the thread often for updated info about ignoring my post in it.

Been away for a week so I'll start ignoring from today.

Being a 2009, I don't think it'll have DPF (my MY2009 hasn't). I went with Castrol Magnatec on my last change - I'd rather spend a few quid more on a decent brand. It needs to meet a Ford standard. I'll try and dig it out...

You haven't... ;) Here; https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/land-rover-freelander.9/

Post over in the Freelander section… lots of help there

Good choice of landie. Won’t rust and leak 😉 Plenty of help on here for you

Just introducing myself as I have just joined you guys. I live in South Africa and have a 2013 Freelander 2 2.2 SD4 with 235 000km on the clock. Have not had any issues except the turbo adjuster that had to be replaced. Other than that...

I've never had a Freelander but there's plenty on here who think they are the best thing since sliced bread, so you won't be short on advice and support :)

No. Please ignore it some more.

I'd like to pop in to say hi, but it's unlikely I'll be staying overnight.

Yes Sat night camping is the plan. That's not to say Friday night is a no no if you have far to come.
