Well I just filled mine this morning with some Comma X-Flow 5w40 fully synth for VW PD engines- meets VW505 01 which is good enough for me and should be fine for the M47 engine. I do roughly 7-8k changes so I'll go for the same stuff buy the BMWLL rated stuff. I just had this oil already lying...

Just buy a new VCU and decent bearings you tightwad!! Then look after the tyres and it should be trouble free and 4wd for years. :D

Bit like XJ8 Jags then. Absolutely disgusting considering the money they cost! Premium motor my arse...

Good to know!

Indeed- you won't be able to do this: The most spectacular river crossing by car. 4x4 off road - YouTube

Wobbling crank pulley....

Certainly was! At least doing the belts now is a piece of ****. The Halfords Pro 24mm spanner is perfect for the job. Can't believe all the horror stories were putting me off for so long...

Yep, L322.. was tired. Anyhow, I just love the interior of the L322! :cool:

Well that looks like an Evoque for grown ups, so maybe not bad! IMO LR are moving more and more towards building luxury expensive pose mobiles that require a trip to the dealership even just to change a wiperblade. Getting ridiculous that you can't do anything to them yourself. Once they are 3...

Could be worth buying the old car off the insurers to keep as spares..

I got my hoses from here: Land Rover Hose Kits I can't remember which kit I bought- the 3 hose kit I think, but I had to cut the hose on the left (as shown in the pic above) to fit the sensor in. Worked out fine and a lot cheaper than anywhere else and when I fitted it, I managed to position it...

Wow.. glad mine was done a few months before I bought it!

I finally got around to changing the auxillary belt tensioner which had been screaming like a banshee holding a two stroke chainsaw... See here for full report if you can be bothered: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/finally-got-another-freelander-237094-6.html

Well today the sun was shining and the air was warm ish and the ground was almost dry so I decided to crack on and get some jobs done. I'd read up on what was needed to change the aux belt tensioner and it sounded a right ****e of a job, so I'd been putting it off, but the screeching was getting...

I like... but I've always had a soft spot for these: Nissan Patrol GT-R!!! - YouTube :cool:

Agreed. I got a pair of GKN bearings in their holders for £90 off ebay a few months ago which wasn't too bad- but a lot more than the £50 a pair I bought for my older Freelander's GKNs about 3 years ago!!

Ah, but stuck on a manual box? From what I recall the KV6 isn't bad in the Rover 800 on economy, but what went wrong in the Freelander?

Might have some sort of economy in comparison too...

Ah, well there we go then.... ;)
