    2005 TD4 Diesel leak... any advice.

    I have also a 2005 Td4 with 206.000km on the clock. It is also dripping a little. After Convoy4Heroes I will replace the Bosch HP pump. Like Zoolander says. When warm no dripping, but in the morning, cold engine, starts marking it's territory.

    What tyres do you have on your freelander

    This morning they put on the Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S at my Td4 with now 205.405km on the clock. I now put on the size 215 70 R16. So the tire is a little higher than the 215 65 R16 Michelins I had. Used them today for about 100km. So it is to early to make a full report. They don't make...

    No fuel at the pumps here in hemel hempstead

    I'm seriously worried about this as we are planning with about 7 Freelanders and some caravans to come over from Belgium and the Netherlands to C4H. Besides us there are also 7 defenders coming from this side of the pool. Wouldn't like to be stranded without fuel as I did in 2010 in...

    Thanks Joe. I just posted also on the C4H forum for info. I will keep an eye on the threads you mentioned. A few years back I was "captured" in France when they had a strike about fuel. Don't want to get trapped again. It is a long walk back to Eijsden The Netherlands.;)

    Hi guys, Please help me get some information. As said before, we have booked Convoy4Heroes for 7 Freelanders and 7 defenders to visit from Belgium and The Netherlands. Now I read that there maybe will be a strike regarding fuel in the UK. Can anyone inform me about this? In a serious note...

    What tyres do you have on your freelander

    I had the Michelin Synchrone 4x4 in summer. No complaints but they are worn now. Took the Michelin Latitude Alpin winter tires off last week. No complaints with them in snow, rain and even off road. Next Thursday I go for the Yokohama Geolandar GO12 A/T-S for use in summer and off road.

    Some years ago I found this, I think it was a Canadian forum. I asked where the sensors would be and if they could tell me more about it, but the topic died without answers.
