| Thanks Vanny, I was really after a new one, because mine has developed a weird graininess- like the mirroring is failing. It’s a 2014 so anything used is likely to be a similar age and might go the ... |

Vanny, I know this topic is five years old, but can you advise where you bought this mirror?
I have that version fitted to my HSC Lux 2014. It’s developed a fault.
The only one I can find on e ... |

I do all my own servicing. And only about 2000 miles a year now.
So I’ve created my own check sheet. Annual oil change is probably moot, and I could save on the oil filter biannually, but it’ ... |

| I was surprised too. Hence my theory or gunk dissolving in new oil. If you are doing a regular change now it wouldn’t build up for the same reason. |

| Bottom line. No manufacturer any more wants a car to last 200k miles and 20-30 years. It used to be a badge of honour for the likes of BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar and Land Rover. But now it’s just bad ... |

It was just the one ingredient that was listed and indeed it’s used for “personal fungal care”. Was a totally off the cuff theory on my part!
I think pull and replace 500ml every year and ... |

Bear with the odd order of this. There are two service items on Haldex, the oil/filter and the pump mesh filter. The 1st is ... |

Agree on annual oil changes. My point was about the fuel filter.
I can vouch that 10 years is too long for Tranny fluid. Changed mind at 10 years and it’s transformed the gear change. Thats at ... |

We bought our Freelander at nearly 4 years old/22,000 miles. It’s now done 50,000 miles, 10 years old.
It’s never had that smooth a gear change. We just thought that’s how these are. It wa ... |

Going against the grain here, but surely a fuel filter is one item that deterioration is simply is a function of mileage. If it’s good for 20k, and you do 5k a year, why not 4 years?

Can’t get the bolts out - they come part way out and are getting harder the furthe ... |
