    Biodiesel

    They certainly do. There are no filling stations near me that actually sell bio. You may need to change your fuel filter after running bio for a while.

    have done something stupid

    Seems pretty random to me. I hear they stopped FBH in 2002 but then mines 2004. I'd prefer PTC to FBH

    I put the wrong fuel in my TD4

    A £1000 sounds about right anywhere you go. I agree, another engine for sure.

    Would "all makes" include britparts, as they sell them on their website ;)

    Help me fix up my freelander!

    Seriously ???? You're talking a £1000+ for this alone and you'd have to be more than a bit " handy with tools".

    Help me fix up my freelander!

    You have asked whether this is worth fixing but have already made that decision by fixing certain things :confused: My concern would be knackered gearbox, dodgy clutch, dropped liner, dodgy water pump and thermostat, possible VCU problem,new head gasket on 40,000 mile replacement engine, failed...

    Krisboats. I think the garage you mention in your first post has answered ALL your questions, " don't throw any more money at this", especially as you don't intend to keep it.

    Are britparts that bad ?

    Therein lies the rub. Being new to LR I decided that LR specialists are probably best to use. Of the two I have tried they both use britparts. I generally use the goldylocks philosphy, if there are 3 parts the same at £10, £20 and £30, I'll go for the £20.

    Are britparts that bad ?

    Someone on another thread suggested that it's common knowledge on here that you should avoid britparts spares like buying a 1.8 FL. So.....are britparts that bad ???

    I put the wrong fuel in my TD4

    In your situation the tank and fuel system should have been drained. Given that you drove for 7 miles on virtually pure petrol will have confused the sensors and therein the ECU no end. Get it plugged into a DX and that may give you a better idea.
