    V registration diesel Freelander

    V registration diesel Freelander

I have been told that the 2.0 litre Rover unit with engine...

    I get the same on both my 200 and 300....but it doesn't happen if I start the motor with the clutch pedal to the floor . . . . . I think both of us would be grateful for any advice.

    Anyone running a 2.5 Diesel on veg oil ?

    As long as the engine is not a common rail you can easily run it on veg oil, Definetly Bosch pumps are better equipped for it.... I run mine in cold months with a blend of 50% regular diesel, 40% WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) and 10% RUP (Regular Unleaded Petrol) plus I add a bit of Vegiboost which...

    Quick Question..Is it common to put 245/70/16 on a 300 TDi

    I am running on 245/75R16, and because I have heavy duty suspension (read 130 spec) the body has a lift of approximately 2"....the speedo now is accurate, and there's not great loss in accellaration....and maybe get a better MPG
