Have you tried using REDEX DIESEL additive ? if not give it a go according to the instructions on the bottle. Halfords should stock it. Make sure its for diesel engines not the one for petrol engines

Hi Taz, that's a really interesting site, should keep me quiet for hours. Mrs B says thanks very much

Chaps thanks for all your replys, makes me feel kind of special getting all this attention!!!
I reckoon the first port of call will be the Landrover dealer I get it from, I'll give him a bell tomorrow and keep you informed..

Defo agree with Toeknee - If they ask what diesel you put in it say Shell/Esso/Texaco/BP and if your not, start doing it now

All sorted. It was the stearing column seal (grommit). it had fallen into the cab and was letting all the engine noise in.

Perfect now !!

On the more modern engines fitted in the Freelander it does, in your old lump you won't see any benefit. Now off you go, back under the stairs with your new torch and Freelander brochure

I repeat

FYI, I;ve always used better quality diesel fuels, bo77ox to that asda shi7.
I had a BMW X3 and a Dodge Caliber, both run on better quality fuel.

There's a reason why supermarket fuel is so cheap, nothing to do with bulk buying.

It does make a difference, we have also found it at work, no one now fills up with Supermarket Carp, we get another 2 to 3 miles more per gallon on branded as opposed to Supermarket Carp and the vehicles run better.

So your basis for stating that it makes no difference wither it be branded or Supermarket is based on the fact that you only buy Supermarket, a very in depth scientific experiment
