Don’t worry about it 👍 - it’s a ‘lively’ forum, but essentially a place for help with your LR. Especially outside of the ‘Anything Goes’ area.

I know, I know! I forgot to take them when I did the rails the other day, then I thought I’d wait for the bars to arrive 😁 Now realising how high the roof box will be, and pondering how to actually load/unload the thing when it’s on there!!!

So, you’ve not actually lifted one either? Ok, so you agree it can happen now? Likewise. Or have you lifted an F2 now? It’s a forum. We don’t need to offer ‘proof’ of everything - a lot of the help on here is based on learned and shared knowledge, even opinion. The OP is new to F2’s, and...

And the new roof rails from Predator 4x4, along with genuine LR bars fitted

The new arm rest I mentioned yesterday… And I cleaned all the seats with the rug doctor.

Yes, I know how the muddy mods lift kit works - thank you. And I’m all grown up now, so know the difference between independent suspension and live axles 👍 Ok - you clearly believe that simply fitting a lift kit with no other changes would do nothing to the car long term, and not affect it in...

Well, I did find one review about issues due to vehicles being lifted… even “riding worse on the road” after. Wait… that was you. So, simply fitting a lift kit can cause issues then?

Why you getting all hot and bothered? I know there are plenty of lifted FL2s about - I never said there wasn’t, did I? And some will see no difference. And some will eat up other components quicker and end up replacing driveshafts and the like. Entirely up to the individual what they do. The...

No, because I’ve never done it. But a simple google search will tell you a lift kit, with no further modifications, will stress other parts. Assume you have proof it doesn’t?

Stock tyres; Kind of answered that in post #2 on your thread here; https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-2-max-height.399716/#post-5868366 If you look on YouTube at Powerful UK, they fit a lift kit to an F2 and show you the measurements before and after 😉. Remember, a lift kit will...

SDD is the Land Rover system. It stands for Symptom Driven Diagnostics, and it requires a laptop plus a lead. I think it covers vehicles from 2006 onwards, and will do everything you want it to, if it can be done. That said, it’s not the easiest of tools to use, and can get daunting with the...

Do you have any codes? Daft question - got plenty of fuel? (over half a tank, to rule out the pump in the tank)

You like the HSE head and sat nav? And you wanted auto lights and rain sensing wipers. But you bought a GS…? 😁

…lots. Planning on taking it for a trip to North Wales soon, so splashing out a bit. Have already mentioned the roof rails last week. LR roof bars should be here in next few days too, to go on top. Today I fitted an aftermarket centre front armrest. Surprisingly good, looks smart, fits...

Wassup - have you broke it?

Have you dislodged or split a boost pipe when doing the job?

You defo need a new mechanic. If possible, take someone who is mechanically-minded with you when you go back. Fuses missing are a massive tell-tale…

Assumed you’d already tried the normal regen route as your first post mentioned doing 50-60 for an hour, which should have forced it.

LR diagnostics can force a regen, but I thought the car would display a ‘DPF full’ message, if that was the issue(?)

Lack of power and smoke could be a loose/split boost pipe. Other things to check besides the filter and LP pump are the O rings on the high pressure pump. These wear over time also. Cheap repair kits online. If you have decent diagnostics you should be able to see the high and low fuel pressures.
