Gave it a wash as I'm up to Scotland on saturday taking my daughter to stay at a friends for a week and I'm straight back down, with rain forcast tomorrow thought i'd best clean the hippo and my "disklok" arrived so i've fitted that and will sleep a little easier knowing the big yellow lock is...

I've found that mine tends to regenerate the DPF after the engines up to temp and then the 30 mins or so at speed, sometimes if i want it to clean out the DPF i run it at 3000 revs at 70mph, so staying in 4th gear although it is a 6speed manual or that needs to be done if the "restricted...

I would add Rimmer Bros (based in Lincolnshire) as another potential source of parts they ship all over the world, I’ve used them myself and I’ve heard only good things about them

I’d also have a look at Tests new Freelander 1 owners should do on their car Posted in the Freelander forum under technical archive which will tell you about things to look out for And welcome here :)

Admittedly this week rather than today .. took it for its MOT a lovely chap small Independent garage servicing & repairs plus MOT work only , who was word of mouth recommended charged £47 and as he says “your paying me for my time so if it’s right I’ll pass it , rather than the nationals at £29...

Ive no idea whether it can be done but it sounds a great idea to me

Perhaps as the OP hasn’t responded yet he’s realised clucking on the openpadlock symbol doesn’t lock the car and discovered that the closed padlock does the trick.. my keyfob has lost the paint outlines so at first I’d click on the wrong bit quite a few times.. but eventually worked it out and...

Sadly well beyond my knowledge really but as happens in standing traffic wondering if it could be a heat or temp sensor somewhere that then puts the car into a low power mode to “protect” the engine ? Or a sensor the checks the fans perhaps telling the car they have stopped so it wants to not go...

I’d second what Interceptorxj said check on line to see if the dodgy mechanic added his fails to the gov website , do let us all know and either way I’d report him as you now know he made it all up , as I posted in what I did today mine passed it’s MOT with a recommended local man who charges...

Mines decided today to do the same trick seems this thread is getting some action

An update yesterday i managed to get a good inspection of the upper rubber hoses and found a small split in one of them by feeling with my bare fingers as the split was on the side facing away from my vantage point looking upwards from under and in the wheel arch. I'd taken the wheel off and...

Many many thanks I've MY2011 car but no detailed manual so this has been brill

Gained a great sense of acheivement having driven over 100 miles today knowing that I had successfully changed all the brake discs, pads and handbrake shoes ...slowing down and using the handbrake on a steep hill at traffic lights and not an inch of creep in sight ..

Rather than today but rather through the weekend gone & monday ..I've replaced the rear brake discs and pads, handbrake shoes along with the adjusters and Levers. Took a while and a 2nd set of hands Phil the neighbour helped getting the old drum discs off plus helped putting the springs back on...

Hi all, I need some guidance let me explain. FR2 My 2011 ED4 GS 116k miles Beginning of the week i got the "reduced engine performance" on the dash while driving on the M62 to home, as the motorway was busy i dropped from 6th doing 65ish to swap lanes when it clicked in ...i "limped home"...

I like the article too, as you say an interesting read :cool:

Mine has the same issue, I assumed it dropped on its own whilst i wasnt in the car ...I'll have to look further thanks to this thread .. :):(

Mine gives around 600 to 700 miles according to the car, i do use the app 'fuel monitor', which tracks actual consumption to mileage and driving it down to london approx 200 miles each way for the last couple on months once a week means that recently i've been getting around 45mpg thats cruising...
