Sorry, I realised that after googling! No I don't carry a great deal of weight in the back, so is it ok if the weight loading of the tyres are different from those on the front? Thanks

Hi there, I've just had my 06 Freelander back from having 2 new tyres put on. I've had Michelin Latitude Tour's put on it (same as the other two) and have had them put on the back as recommended. I've just noticed that the speed rating is different on the new tyres. The other two are 102H and...

Recently discovered that I have a fuel leak (under load) on my 06 TD4. Took it to LR dealer and they identified that it was coming from the fuel pressure switch which has recently been replaced and wrongly fitted (definitely a washer missing & poss a spacer) by a local non LR garage. LR are...

Just spoke to the garage (a general garage not LR dealer) again this morning and they said a wire has broken off right inside the plug going to EGR valve?? He said its the plug that needs replacing but LR have modified the part and now you have to buy the pressure valve as well as the plug. Does...

Thanks for your replies. Yes they had it on the diagnostics machine & they said it was badly corroded and that Landrover said it was a common fault?! I don't know exactly which component is the problem but which ever it is, they claim it can not be bought on its own anymore. Not high mileage -...

Hi all, I have a 06 TD4 which I have had from new and ever since the warranty ran out, guess what.....problems! It has been spluttering and almost misfiring for some time and has been in and out of a local garage and they finally discovered a broken wire (leading to the EGR valve). They fixed...

Finally got through to the dealer. Service is at 12,000 miles or a year old whichever comes first and is £399.78 - inclusive of all parts, labour and VAT and the valet is £85. Just thought you might be interested

Coming up for 10,000 miles and need to book in for a service. Trying to get through to Stratstone to book & must be so busy that they can't answer the phone! Anyone know how much a service costs at a dealership? Also, want it valeting, again, anyone know how much? Many thanks!

Thanks, don't know whether to be flattered or terrified! You're a very helpful & friendly bunch but, it has to be said, everso slightly warped!!:D Ok, I know I own a Landrover & live out in the sticks & its gonna get dirty, but seriously, is it ok to get under the wheel arches with the jet...

Jeez how embarrasing! Thank god for anonimity on these forums, I'm so glad I didnt go in all guns blazing when I phoned the dealer :D. Still not happy about the cow crap on my lovely shiny engine. Might have to move to the city! Thanks for the help/advice :)

Wah - hey!!

Good thinkin! If I can work out how to do it.

Just spoken to dealer, and he's just described exactly what I can see on two freelanders in show room and said thats how it should be. Gap/hole is there to allow movement for the steering rack/suspension? Is this right? Can you see through your cars?!!

Because that's what I am and what I do!! I knew exactly what to expect when I wrote that, I've been on here lots of times and read loads of threads and you are "such blokes"!!!!! Dont worry, I'm not offended in the slightest, I find it quite amusing!! Oh and I'm quite happy to be called a babe...

My god, you're such blokes on here aren't you?!!:D But thank you for helping out the damsel in distress! I'm sure thats whats happened too. Someone's going to get their balls busted for it & they can damn well clean my engine too!
