Thanks, that’s the one.

Only issue now is that the oil light is on and the top end is tapping 🙁

Problem found!

The o ring that came with the new filter was too thick!

New filter fitted but anyone know what the part number is for the cap. I could do with a new one!

The filter part number checks out. The old one was a bit tight to remove. And the new one is identical.

Inside the housing there feels like there is something spring loaded that is jammed if that ...

Well, it’s now green!

Fortunately I kept the old reservoir and was able to cycle a couple of litres through and give it all a good flush.

I will give it a week and drain the reservoir again a ...

In a hunch I changed the power steering reservoir and it’s a lot quieter.

The fluid looked like it was originally the colour of ep90 with a dark tinge. It’s now bright red and clean.

Anyone know if these wheels are standard or a genuine option for a 2009 XS?

Thanks

Thanks. So 30.5” with no real issues.

My 235’s on 19” are very close to the rear struts already so going to have to stick to 235, fit spacers or go for new wheels!

Hey folks,

Hi Folks,

Just added a 2009 Freelander 2 XS to the stable alongside a D2, D3 and a 68 2a

I am hoping i will spend less time fixing the Freelander than I do the D3!
