I fitted a genuine one when mine packed up. Only it wasn't from Land Rover, but it was the same make. I'm sure I mentioned it in my vehicle thread, which will have disappeared from view many, many months ago. The link is in my signature.

They certainly were. Past tense as I sold my Td4 last year. Now I can't find the tail pipe on my current car:D

When my dual mass flywheel went on my Octavia, I only noticed it at idle. It rattled badly. Sounds more engine mount/front suspension/track rod end. But what do I know?

I have some Td4 parts for sale on eBsy st the moment: Pipercross air filter: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pipercross-air-filter-for-Freelander-1-Td4-/331783616759?nav=SELLING_ACTIVE And the leak off kit with brass fitting instead of the plastic ones...

At the moment they don't suit everybody, but for the average person they are fine. They just have to adjust the way they think :D My car has been serviced once in the last year. No other problems (unlike my Freelander I sold) Just plug it in at night and I have a full tank for work the next...

The battery's on the Gen 2 which I have seem to be lasting well over 100,000 miles before they are losing their first capacity bar, at around 85% state of health. They are lasting much better than anybody, including Nissan originally thought. The latest Leaf's battery's are under warranty for 8...

Well a year on I have covered almost 12,000 miles. It has cost me 2.7p/mile in electricity. Still very happy. In fact so much so that I sold the Freelander last June. Yes I miss driving it off-road, but I couldn't justify spending at least £1000 per year just to keep it on the road for a few...

T These are what I was running before I sold my Freelander. But I was using Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme. Very good on and off road and not as aggressive tread as the BFG's, improved my fuel consumption as well. I'm selling them as no car to put them on...

When I had a Freelander I fitted SES88's 40mm lift kit. The inner wheel arch needed to be cut away and the fuel pipe needed relocating. Then I had camber pins fitted to correct the suspension as it was all over the place. Then I had a proper 4 wheel laser alignment done on one of those expensive...

The seats are different. Probably can change those. Less worry if it gets scratched than an expensive facelift. I like the facelift personally.

I had no regrets getting the td4 auto hse. (No regrets getting rid of it either). I don't miss the sub 25mpg around town, which is where mine spent most of its time. I will never buy a manual again. Probably not a petrol or diesel engine either, but that's another story! Absolutely brilliant...

I have a Bekker sat nav sitting in my cupboard and a UK map disc. I never used it and bought a Tom Tom Go 6000 and a brodit mount.

Loving the electric life

Love it. My bank balance loves it even more!!! It has cost me 2.7p per mile for the last 10,000 miles. That is over 16p per mile less than my Hippo. Then there is the £1000 I have saved on VED. On top of that it is great fun to drive. I've taken it to Devon without any issues. The charging...

Cold weather tyres (most people call them winter tyres) are the best thing to drive in sub 7 degree C temperatures, whether it be dry, wet, ice or snow. A 2 wheel drive with with cold weather tyres will beat a 4 wheel drive vehicle on summer or many AT tyres. A 4x4 with winter tyres is almost...

I used Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme last year. Unfortunately I sold the Freelander. But I still have the set of 5 wheels. They are great off-road and in snow as well as the usual cold wet roads we get down in the south east. They are for sale because they don't fit my new car. I have Michelin...

I used Vredestein Wintrax 4 Xtreme on my Freelander 1. If I had kept the car I would have run them all year round. Seem to be quite popular fitment for other Land Rovers. AJS tyres down here recommend them. They are great off-road and in our cold damp wet and snowy weather. They are for...

I used to use it till I came across Diesel Rhino. Since then I stopped using 2-stroke oil. Diesel Rhino seemed to be much better and did all sorts of other things as well as making the engine smoother. I highly recommend Diesel Rhino if you drive a vehicle with a diesel infernal combustion...

I had my old Td4 remapped whilst I still owned the Ronbox. I fitted the Ronbox for a hour after the remap. It definitely was a lot faster, we are talking a couple of seconds off 0-60. You just had to touch the throttle to work out there was much more torque right down just above tickover. I...
