No. But I do use bio, (not to be confused with straight veggy oil) which I make myself. So far so good, and a bloody sight cheeper than dino diesel. (about 20ppl):D

Hi chaps. Had a strange power fade whilst accelerating the other day, a strange feeling like fuel starvation. It only really showed it's self when under a bit of pressure, so I thought it was time to change the fuel filter. I got one from my local motor factors for £12.00 Came home from work...

Hi chaps.:) Just fitted new high pressure injection pump seals to my TD4. Not a job I'd like to do again in a hurry. I've put a bit of info on my website so if anyones interested, have a look here. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andymacs/index.html Tata.

Yes, because the heater comes on. :)

Great feedback chaps, but nobody's had a go at answering my original question. :)

Yes, Heard all the horror scare stories, but lots of TD4 owners run on bio with no ill effects whatsoever. And with dino diesel at nearing £1:50pl and we're making fuel for about 30ppl, it's a risk worth takeing. It's also great satisfaction to drive past the "TAX STATION" without stopping. :D

Hi Markyxs180. Thanks for that. I think the seal issue was only on early models maybe pre 2000. Andy.

Hi folks. :) I recently started making my own biodiesel, and I have no running issues so far, despite Td4's supposedly being a bit twitchy on it, and I've done about 2k miles on 100% bio so far. My question is does the timing or anything need adjusting for optimum performance, and is there any...

Thanks for the feedback chaps, I'll "fiddle" a bit longer. :scratching_chin:

Hi Chaps. I have an 04 TD4 with around 40K on it. I have recently noticed if I pull away reasonably hard (not foot to the floor) I am seeing quite a lot of smoke from exhaust. I have only noticed it since the darker nights when car headlights are behind. I don't think it's very black or blue...

Cheers for your help lads. Got it, thanks Matacaibo. Andy.

Hi Folks. Anybody know where I can get a copy of the user manual for the navigation system fitted in my TD4 on 05 plate, I've looked everywhere on the web and can find no reference to one. Cheers. Andy.

Ok folks, relax. having buggered about trying to find a fuse and coming up blank, I decided to undo the head lining and have a look at the wiring. Guess what? On the end of the wire coming from the mirror was a 3 pin plug, which was not connected. Not only this but there was no socket for ir to...

Hi folks. anybody know which fuse supplies the interior rear view mirror down lights? On the rear view mirror there are two switches underneath, one each for a small light either side. They don't work, :mad: and I have checked the bulbs which are both OK. I am assuming the fuse has blown, but I...

Hi folks. Thanks for that. I think it's the maf sensor, as the turbo seems to kick in on cue but it's below that where the dead spot is. Cheers. Andy.:)

Hi Folks. I'm new to this forum so hello everybody:) I've recently bought a Freelander TD4, and I love it, but one small thing is bugging me, so maybe you can help. There seems to be a flat spot in early acceleration, most noticable in first gear, then it picks up and goes great. It's rather...
