Hi all,

So today i put some diesel in using a plastic can nozzle. The misfuel device activated which is fine, however i cant for the life of me locate the key to reset it. I have a full spare wheel and under it is the jack etc but i cant seem to spot where the key should be even if i had one.

any pointers.

Should be easy enough to spot if its there:

Maybe the glovebox?

Mine sits in a slot in the foam insert that holds the jack and wheel key. it sits under the spare wheel. Of course if you bought used it might have been lost /kept by the previous owner.

im guessing mine has been lost long before i got the car. Ill have to get a replacement or flag down a passing freelander  2010 HSE SD4 in Santorini black

A couple of years ago my neighbour bought a FL2 and didn't have the key so we made one using mine as a pattern from a bit of 10mm wooden dowel and a bit of bent copper stuck in a slot in the end. Alternatively you could buy one as below.

What does it do exactly ? Jules

I think it converts petrol to diesel using some sort of chemical reaction due to the plastic

it resets the trap door that drops down if you put a petrol nozzle (narrower than diesel) into your fuel tank.
