    TD 4 difficult to start

    With all the bad weather we've had I've not had chance to change the fuel filter for the the spare I have, but have put another dose of the Lucas injector cleaner in the tank and I'm pleased to report that it's now starting just as it used to first turn of the key.

    TD 4 difficult to start

    The fuel filter was supposed to have been changed about 8 months ago along with the lift pump just before I bought the car, I do have a fuel filter that came with the service kit I bought just after I got the car I didn't bother fitting it at that time because it was supposed to have been done.

    If it were mine and only a couple of streets away I'd crawl underneath and tie wrap it back in place then drive home really steady then sort it out properly.

    Freelander - Propshaft Bearing Replacement

    What fails on the cheaper support bearings is it the rubber or the actual bearing cos I was thinking if its the bearing it would be cheaper to by 2 cheap units off ebay and change the bearings for the FAG ones rather than buy GKN at the prices that are being charged now.
