    Declining Fuel Economy

    It could well be your particulate filter becoming clogged. We had a 59 plate that was getting worse and worse MPG wise. Took it for a trip to France and the long motorway journey improved the economy by c.10 MPG. Also, don't be using that supermarket rubbish for fuel. You may as well use...

    confused about oil

    Opie Oils (Engine Oil, Motor Oil and Car Engine Oils from the largest UK independent online supplier of Performance Oils) is a pretty good supplier too.

    Snapped heater plug

    Nice to see you've handily posted the link to the guy's website. Most people just make you guess the bloke's name and web address.

    Limp home mode

    Also check the turbo filter that hangs down the back of the engine on the left. It's an often missed service item and it will cause the engine management light to come on temporarily if it's clogged.

    rear plastics part numbers??

    I replaced one of my side finishers last year and got them from Welcome to The Land Rover Store | Online Land Rover Accessories & Merchandise. They're not very expensive, just give them a call.

    M-Sport Freelander and Lotus Tuned 1.8

    Td4 chip -worth doing?

    I had a Toyota Auris Hybrid as a company car for a while. The BIK was ridiculously low, MPG was great (60+) and it drove well. All in all a great car. I suppose the proof of the pudding would be if I'd actually buy one with my own money - too right I would if I needed such a car now. Worth...

    Front end suspension knock

    I think they're getting better to be honest. I don't generally (knowingly at least) buy Britpart either but those items that I have received seem to be spot on (so far at least).

    Reverse problem

    For the price of getting the fluid changed vs. a reconditioned box I'd say go for it. You may find, judging by what I've read on this site, that you need to get it changed several times over the coming months.

    Back door leak and plastics

    The finishers on the rear door are largely cosmetic. The leak is likely to be either the door seal, the door shedder (underneath the interior plastic panel on the door itself) or the rear window seal. Check the info here: Freelander - Water Ingress Into Luggage Compartment - Taildoor Seal...
