I have given it a good wash since I used the freelander to recover a friends Jetbike from the beach at sandbanks with a low tide.

as you can see....the slipway is some distance away.

Hi Monkiefone

Another ex-D2BC meets up here.
I haven't got a F2 yet but working on it.

Hi another one here to

Done a couple of bits today.

Completed a mini service before the winter with an oil and filter change and an air filter.

Who put that oil filter there!?

old air filter looked a little dirty





while i was under the bonnet i decided to clean up the oil gunk under the joint in the air intake.





inside







and after with a proper Jubilee clip.

I love doing little jobs like that. It gives me a sense of being slightly competent lol

New battery time today after 2 non starts in 2 weeks.

I tried giving the battery a good charge but the Ctek managed to charge the battery in a suspisously short time.

oh well.....not bad considering it was the original.  John

Oil and filter change yesterday.

a 20 min job turned into an hour and a half! poxy filter location!


now off to clean the driveway of oil....  John

Hi monkiefone

Long time no speak! from another recent D2 deserter too

Well, it seems like my time with the Freelander may be up. SWMBO wants a new car!

Not wanting to replace it with a Discovery Sport, and not wanting to go bigger, it looks like a change of Brand .

Looking at it objectively, the car is really my wife's. She likes the lofty driving position but doesn't really need to 4WD for a 10mile round trip to work everyday.

so...plans may be to put here in a new.....dare I say it....Nissan qashqai.... and change my car for a D4 to keep a 4WD on the fleet and something to tow the camper around in....  John

couple of little additions so far.


Dog guard and Boot liner.

Hi mate, what dog guard is that? did you have to drill into the plastics? get my freelander on tuesday and would like one ready, is it easy to fit? cheers Jim

Get them off eBay or paddock spares at Matlock they are made bt Travail and are a good bit of kit. About 80 quid I think. No drilling needed and quick yo
