good one o p,i dont feel quite so foolish now.still not going to tell my wife though,she is not that forgiving,even after 3 years.:) tim.

whoops,didnt think key worked after locking with remote, best keep this to ourselfs ,longdog.:).tim

its good advice to renew the battery guys.i must admit i let mine go on beeping for months,then one day while working away from home,i went to unlock and you can guess the rest.my wife had to bring the spare set out to me.she was not amused.tim:)

i would nt quite put it that way, maybe just a slight over reaction though. tim

should still be under manu warrenty. did you do a test drive before parting with your £ ? tim.

very good point mark2,waiting eagerly for the ans.tim.

hi bill,welcome,if you decide to drain the antifreeze, try and see what colour it is. if its the red ,oat stuff only replace with red oat antifreeze,tim.

hi realist,welcome to the madhouse,if you have an 06 diesel freelander/td4,then you have no worries about a timing belt change,its a bmw engine and it has a timing chain, that should last for the life of the engine .tim.

only tried 2t oil when i noticed i was putting unleaded in my td4s fuel tank,got to about 4.5 litres then the penny dropped. topped up with derv, put a litre of 2t oil in,said a prayer and drove on.to be honest i think after that mix,the td4 ran the best it ever has under my ownership.tim

good point pastmaster,the 2t oil will have good lubricating qualities to the moving parts in the fuel system.:).tim.

hi,elvis,must admit to also using the millers in both my td4/s.when i started using it in both i compared the smoke test results on both previous mots and i have to admit there was a big reduction on both.not sure about the other claims,the main reason i use it is for its claim to lubricate the...

hi ,edd1982, might be worth checking rad and top and bottom hoses ,as first port of call.more can be seen if belly pan removed. tim

ok,craig,good luck. tim

craig,was the fuel filter renewed with new pump.? whitch of the 3 pumps were replaced? tim.

blimey,so much for preventative maintenance,think i will just keep on driving my td4 :) tim.

hi nick,sounds like good advice to me,got same sort of lack of power with my td4,using the millers power sport add at present,to see if it helps.i think engine oil should be5/30 fully synthetic,lots of views on this though good luck. tim.

as op says ,td4 has a chain,they do in most cases last the life of the engine.the indi chap who i take my td4 to was telling me the chains can get worn and rattle,he has in the past changed one, but not an easy job.tim

hi danboy,just a point on your clutch prob, was the slave cylinder renewed when the guy did your clutch? if it was then your problem sounds like the master cylinder.most of the other probs sound like simple fixes as others have advised .tim

thanks tannebri,just a new seal ,good. that will give me something to do at the weekend.tim:)

hi folk, i need your advice/opinions, the rear diff on my td4.it has a slight oil leak on the input side.i am wondering if anyone reading this has replaced the oil seal at home,or is it a job for my local indi lr garage. thanks tim:)
