Thanks for that piece of info. Something for all of us to watch for, and not a problem I've encountered before.

Jeep? Only if they've improved since I bought my Cherokee. I got fed up with the brakes falling apart. It was basically a pretty good engine built into a very cheap and shoddy car. Mind you, I traded it in for a Disco 300TDi, and that was rubbish too, so maybe it's just me!

any more updates on this as i've just started to lose coolant in an unexplained way. only done 50K miles so far. seems a bit random though.

haven't noticed anything coming out of the exhaust though...? oil dipstick wise seems fine and no oil in coolant.

I got a call from Lookers Park Royal who have been excellent. It is the EGR Valve and Cooler - cost £215 plus vat plus 3.2 hours labour. Total cost to fit £750.

As I have not had my Freelander 2 for long I have not yet had the chance to get that familiar with working on it but even so, 3.2 hours to fit an EGR seems a bit out of the way....or is it me? Maybe it is one of those cases where they workshop time is quoted at 3.2 by LR but a savvy mechanic will do it in half an hour. John

Yes, I'd say the time to fit is excessive. I'd try Iain AKA 10forcash for a quote. Email him at iain@offroad-essentials.com

The time, in my opinion, is about right.
There are a lot of things to be removed (and installed back) in order to get to that cooler.
