My local Vauxhall dealer do the MOT each year, I have known them for years and trust them 100%, and all service and maintenance is carried by the LR dealership who happen to be in the same dealer group. So I have a file full of LR receipts etc, even things like wiper blades all come from LR. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

Collected my car this morning. Asked about the wheel refurb and, no surprises, it is £99 per wheel!! Mine are fine at the moment so wont be having any work done on them. Would prefer a set of 19" rims anyway!!! 2010 HSE TD4 auto, Biscay Blue, Almond Leather, facelift front and rear, detachable towbar, front & rear mudflaps, bib spoilers, clear high level brake light, smooth rear wiper, colour coded door handles.

£99 per wheel! That is just stupid! You would pay between £180 to £200 for the set by my friend who does wheel refurbing for a living. He removes tyres, dips the wheels, primes and paints etc. £396 to refurb a set of wheels is a pure rip off. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

Very carefully! By hand, but apart from a few brake dust blemishes, they are in good shape so plenty of elbow grease! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

Does the LR kit overwrite the Superchips remap with a standard version?[/quote] It is for sure worth it. Runs much nicer with the map. I simply download the original when it goes in for it's service. LR dealerships only re-write to the ECU if there is new version of software for a particular item. If this happens, you can re-read the ECU and have superchips modify it again, or you can re-installed the original Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

How long have you been driving the bluefin? Any issues with the transmission or clutch? FL2, TD4 HSE

I have been running the Bluefin since Jan 2008 and for about 39000 miles. I had a new clutch in May last year, but this was because of a clutch fault. But I have not had any side effects. The tail pipes can get a little more dirty when under load, but I haven't got a DPF so they will get dirtier. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

How do you remap the ECU yourself? |
