I would hopre the d2 v8 was more than 150bhp. D3 is the tdv6, very first d3 came out on 54 plate.

Neither, as td5 is 136bhp and tdv6 is 189bhp. TD5 is cheaper, tdv6 March 2006 onwards is 700 quid.

Iirc the older s2 had an odd fuel sender. maybe you have one of them fitted? Can the arm be fitted the other way on its pivot point, ie move the float?

Two old tractors I have just serviced took 15/30, I said are you sure? seems awfully thin for an old clunker, from what I could gather same oil was in engine and rear end and hydraulics.

My old L reg 1993 200 had them, I know for certain as next owner had one go causing all sorts of grief, took his auto electrician hrs to suss what was wrong!

Google fusible links, 200 had them but not sure on the 300?

Big difference on maintance costs between freelander and d3. I have managed 9 yrs looking after my d3 on the driveway.

I work for a farmer, and was thinking the exact same thing!

Welcome to LZ.

20/50 is really for tired old lumps, though I cannot see it hurting until next oil change due.

Willl never be fast from a standstill no matter what you do. Td5 auto is/was pretty slow to be polite.

Starter/alternator/all bulbs/posibly some gauges, unless you have to I cannot see why you would? 24v a127 alternaotrs are cheap enough.

I think it is built in, I remember first time it happned on my old 200 disco as I drove into a ditch!

I have been a hgv mechanc for nearly 40 years, every day you learn something new, the amount of tools you need is scary. The amount of skills you need is also scary, fix shti your boos cannot, yes all day long, cut bearing track off stub axles with oxy torch, adjust valve clearances on a 16...

I am pretty certain you are correct regarding the alternator not being under if it does not need to be, I.e. the battery is charged
