As the previous poster has pointed out, the Freelander 1 had four different engines with differing fuel system layouts. And yes one of them did have a fuel pump under the wheel arch.

| Good news is the DS D240 is a very different beast to the run of the mill D180. Different exhaust architecture that means it doesn't dilute the oil like the D180 (or D150). Towing is fun, even up to ... |

In my experience longer lasting tyres = less grip = more accidents.
That's why motorbike tyres of old lasted 30,000 miles but as soon as it rained they were lethal.
Same goes for my winter tyres o ... |

Tax on tyres would be interesting.
Recently gone back to riding a motorbike and it isn't unusual to replace tyres every 5,000 miles on the larger bikes - much less if you like track days. |

Cash?
I take the money out of the hole-in-the-wall and pay cash for everything up to £2k.

If they don't take cash I just walk away. |
