made a sticky!

brilliant videos- thanks for the links Jules

On the 27th and 28th September i changed the fuel filter on the MY07 Tambora & the MY14 on the Orkney.

Photos to follow later today/this evening when i have time.

Those are fantastic videos, mine will be getting a more thorough cleaning next time 👍 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Now the weather is warming up a few more jobs to do on my two FL2 including changing the PTU oil again.

I changed the engine oil on the Tambora Flame yesterday along with the air filter, i will do the Orkney by the end of the month.

Old one is only about 6 months old as you can see quite clean really.

Well May as seen some more good work carried out on my Freelander's x 2 MY14 Orkney as had the belts done, and an oil change plus clean new air filter.

The MY07 Tambora also had the belts done and a NS drive shaft fitted, then i fitted a tow bar because it will be going to a new owner by the end of this month and he wanted a tow bar on the FL2

My word, you have been busy Arctic, but rude not to take advantage of the decent weather we've had...

The new owner of your 07 is certainly getting a well looked after Freelander

I currently have four FL2's to keep mobile. I recently bought a 2013 XS manual 2.2 diesel for my wife for £1300, a bit rattly engine. When I changed the Oil Filter to check for debris, it was Bloody tight to unscrew, even tighter going back. The reason is "O" rings being too thick. I measured a few, and they varied from 3.5 to 4.0mm diameter. That extra half a millimetre is the problem. OEM rings included there, so stockists almost certainly do not suspect this is a problem, as one can strip the Filter Cover thread.
