Trawling is good. Keep off the bling and do the preventative maintenance and it should be as good as one Mr Nut's (apart from the fact its a Khan )

Thanks for the tips Bob, much appreciated It'll be going into North Eastern 4X4 once I pick it up to have everything that should be done sorted (it was recently serviced by a LR specialist in Leeds but there's no specifics as to what was done)

I would not worry about the stop/start it has a mind of its own many of the guys on here including my self turn the stop/start off as the saving on fuel v wear & tear on the battery, fly wheel, starter motor etc just not worth it, also the price you have been quoted for new belt & water pump sounds very fair, good luck mate with the new motor |

Many thanks guys I think the only add on I want to do for now would be to change the bulbs to something brighter, I used to have Philips Racing Visions in a previous car which were decent, other than that i love it!

Better off with a spare not foam can. It was a add on from new to match the other wheels. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

I think that at 2010, the HSE would have had a steel spare as standard, matching alloy as an option and that the no-spare/foam-can approach came later? My guess is that it had a matching alloy, which has now walked...if it had been the steel, it would still be there as nobody wants them!

Thanks very much for the tip for Topix, pretty cool to see the full spec sheet! Turns out however it is indeed "less spare wheel", so I'll no doubt be on the hunt for a spare alloy once I pick it up. I had a fight with a can of foam with my current car, and the can of foam won.. |

Don't forget you'll also need the wheel changing kit, if you don't already have it. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

Thanks for the heads up Badger, I didn't realise this doesn't have a dpf either? I would have assumed that by 2010 all diesel vehicles would have had one! |

Have you looked to see if it has a DPF? I'd be very surprised to find that it doesn't have one by that year. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

Yeah I checked the VIN and the 8th digit is a B, which seems to indicate it's a 2.2 diesel with no dpf. |
