During my first tank of fuel in my new to me 2011 SD4 HSE
My Freelander stopped
Fuel gage on 1/4 +
My dealer swapped the sender unit
When I filled my tank with my second load of diesel I again filled up
The gauge didn't reach much past 3/4 so ask my dealership to have another look
They've checked everything again
But I am to blame for not filling up correctly
18 years as a road engineer
Loads of other family cars
Well over 1 million miles driven
Does anyone else have my problem

Last few litres have to be put in slowly, what complete nonsense, I've a hundred thousand miles with Freelanders and never had to do that.
The tank will vent as the fuel goes in, the saddle tank is irrelevant as far as I know. Either the vent is blocked and you are getting an airlock tripping the pump, or the pump itself is faulty, I imagine you have tried a diffetent pump?

I reckon I can squeeze another gallon in if I fill VERY slowly and allow the air to escape. Hardly a quarter of a tank. Get yourself another dealer who understands cars! (And from memory, the handbook instructs you NOT to do that, to avoid spillage). Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

looks to me like dealer is screwing the warranty for every penny, as this is a lot of bullshit.

I would take it to another dealer.

Looking at that invoice, it looks like one from Shatstones.....does anyone have any faith in Evans Halshaw? I wouldn't with that sort of bull! Foraging near Gaydon....
——————————————
MY13 HSE Lux SD4, Baltic Blue - current, 30,000> miles without fault
MY12 HSE 2.2 SD4, Sumatra Black - gone after 10 months/43,000 fault-free miles

Look I have the patience of a wasp in a jam jar.

I fill up 3 times every 2 weeks - roughly 60 litres a fill, I have NEVER had to fill the tank slowly to the end, last fill was 64.5 litres - in a 65 litre tank, and I had the trigger pressed hard all the way.

I use any petrol station that is nearby after the yellow light comes on, so it's not even down to a particular petrol station.

Dealer is taking the  Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

In addition , they can't spell "gauge"! From a time when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos!

My first freelander 07 had this problem. No matter how slowly I put the fuel in, by the time I had driven off the forecourt the gauge showed 3/4 full. Fixed under warranty by replacing fuel sender units.
