Sounds like a plan, either small file and file a tiny flat middle of needle or you can use Brasso to remove tiny amounts off till you get an improvement, could be lean at top end though and rich lower down, that would give black plugs if you're...

In the past where the vehicle has bogged down with a BDL needle has been in low RPM going up to mid-range RPM so maybe a bit off the part-throttle area.

New resevoir arrived yesterday 🙂

Did you buy a new reservoir? There is a small filter fitted in it - if it’s not been changed for a good time, it’s worth switching it for a new one when you change the fluid.

You can always file a bit off the BDL if you loose power top end

I think it is the latter of the two. I think I will pull the "custom needle" and put a standard BDL in there.

Flush it through well with the good stuff…

It's not the plugs, it's either burning oil or tooooo rich

Could use two and rig up a connecting leverage type device, did this once with a handbrake cable

... that the wife just got a call from the hospital. Her Mum (who they gave a GA to yesterday to work on her leg) is now today going downhill fast and she had better get there ASAP. Not looking good at all.

Just syphoned the fluid out of my FL2 Power Steering resevoir and it's definately red. Waiting for green stuff to arrive now then I can replace it.

Mornin Lovely sunny morning Making something to change oil in power steering today, two bottles, some tube etc Off to water plants before it gets too warm Stay cool all :)

Rang up the house insurance peeps for the UK today, managed to get nearly £100 knocked off the premium. Result! :):):)

Morning All. :D Another hot one. Don't mind if I do. :) Shopping later. :( Have a great day. :D

Mine ? No cat at all

Does it have a dummy cat or no cat at all?

The e-assist is a big help without it I doubt that the cycling would be possible. But, I do my best to keep the e-assist level low enough that I am also putting effort into the system against the resistance so that my muscles get a bit of work to...

...took the Mini out for a blatt round the town, no problems noticed. Will check the plugs later. Also took the trike out and did a 10 mile loop around Canvey Island in the sunshine. :D That's twice in just few days. :)

Checked spare wheel Renewed pollen/cabin filter And sorted some suface rust in boot (more underneath I suspect)

Can't find a cat on my 2009 FL2 , I was under there yesterday 🤔

Just listed some D2 bits, need to clear the garage.

Clutch down sensor switch ?

Mornin Warm and sunny Watered me plants early Cleaning Freelander boot area today, get it nice for the road trip, noticed a handy 12v socket in there for me kettle :p Chinese shooting stick arrived this morning, better quality than expected :)...

Tis already hot out there. Fill up yer burd baffs.

Morning All. :D Another scorcher for us I think. :) Might go out on the trike later. Have a great day. :D

Thanks I'll drain some out. Looks like its half a litre or so too much Oil didn't go instantly black when I started it so that's a good sign Next service will be easier now I know what I'm doing Scotland / Ireland here I come :D :D

I loosen from below with a flex spanner, then working from above - unscrew by hand and remove upwards. You can just get it through.

I just used 2 long socket extensions and a wobble drive at the filter to unscrew it, then lift it out from above. It's a daft place for the filter, but the engine wasn't designed for the Freelander. The filter is much more accessible in a Ford...

7 litres is too much. They take just under 6 when drained, IIRC. I think 6.8 for a dry fill. You’ll need to remove some. It’s about 1 litre between min and max on the dipstick.

... I saw the MIL in hospital this PM. Not great, but brighter than last time. Kept reporting to me that there were flies all over her bed sheets and occasionally that I had flies all over my face. I kept telling her there were no flies and that...
