    bloody insurance idiots

    so, i have been insured with company a for a few years, been pretty good, although their approved repairers were pants for service. had my renewal through, which went up, naturally, as I'd had a claim. on a whim, started shopping around, and found another big name company b, would give me the...

    How to replace td4 turbo

    on the freelander td4, which is a BMW engine as we all know, original LR fitment was a foam cylindrical filter element, although it's actual function is as an oil separator. the same part for the same engine but in a BMW is a hard plastic cyclone piece , which carries out the same function by...

    Warning: Defender 110 for sale in High Wycombe

    did we not have a similar thing recently where someone had bought a range rover from an alleged dealer in high wycombe, paid a deposit, when he came to pick it up a week later it had another 2000 miles on it, and there were loads of faults, and there was some kerfuff about it being some blokes...

    ebay - v8-3.5-automatic-remapped to 250bhp...apparently

    there's no way it had an mot with that tyre and wheel combination fitted, wheels protrude past vehicle body work probably gone now as it is advertised on "other websits" think they're like a bedsit, but kind of virtual, web based.

    leather seats

    tbh you are better to tell them. If it was stolen, they could argue the leather makes it more desirable. I only know as I've just declared a couple of modifications to my van: deadlocks and armaplates - apparently now more likely to be targeted as it looks like there's something worth stealing...

    annoying rattle @3000rpm ish

    luckily the dpf doesn't rattle as it doesn't have one ! would look again at the heat shield on the exhaust, has come up a couple of times, doesn't always do it when cold, but more so when heated up and expanded. good luck, let us know what you find, could be another one to the list

    Hi new member with issues!

    well fair play to you eddiethedog. usually peeps turn up with a question, straight in with no intro. I'd be getting yourself over to the freelander section and popping up your td4 questions, any agro at all, a) tell them you've already introduced yourself, and b) optimus prime said it was ok ...

    broken truck

    so, won't turn over ? do you get a clicking sound from the engine when you try ? or just nothing at all ? (wow, banned within 2 posts, some kind of record ?)

    Tailgate interchangeability…?

    laner and ian jones are both right. the physical door is the same, it's just the trim that's a different shape (rounded on earlier, square on later) easy to change over with new trim clips, would go for it unless your trim is u/s too.

    Lucas 17TN Keys not working

    tbh, if that's your attitude, it would be better if you just f*cked right off now. I was trying to give you some sensible advice, and as with all these things, it is better to start from the beginning of a diagnostic process than the middle. How was I to know exactly what you had and hadn't...

    Freelander 1 > Xtrail > Freelander 2 - reliability?

    had a td4 auto freelander 1 which I took from 36 to 135k with only one issue which was a failed injector early in our ownership, then bought the wife a freelander 2 td4 S, totally different beast, only had one issue when it picked up some contaminated fuel, ran really badly until I filled it...

    Lucas 17TN Keys not working

    great intro ! why did you wait until both fobs failed to work to think about changing batteries ? The vehicle gives you a warning that you needed to take action, which you ignored. Did the spare fob work before this ? It does sound like it needs resynching, BUT if it had a completely flat...

    Another dodgy one,

    is it: "series doors (tops remove)"

    Red fluid ?

    bit untechnical, but taste the fluid (just a touch on the tongue) if it's sweet, it's probably antifreeze
