Well the car performed great on the recent trip to Lincolnshire averaging around 39 to 39 mpg, fast roads when I could and lots of narrow slow lanes, noticed when I got home that I had a very slow puncture on rear N/S tyre, as the tyres are original from new and 7 ears old I could see they were cracking so thought it best to bite the bullet and get them changed, only ordered 4 Wrangler tyres as I had a brand new one on an alloy in the boot, seems daft it sitting there so I put the good rear wheel in the boot. Great company I used before on other cars come out to your door and fit them on the drive, also cheaper than local tyre sales places, cost me £332 all in for three tyres.

Next simple job was due to reports of rear light thefts I ordered off eBay

these are stainless steel security screws with the tool, also a set of number plate plastic covers, all fitted in no time and now I think they are as secure as I can unless I tie a hungry GSD next to it!

Big job next though, its seven years old and I bought the Gates cambelt kit with water pump included which my excellent independent mechanic will fit, its due a service but as I had all filters etc done last year it will be an oil (Millers) and oil filter service and general pre MOT check over, car has only done 18000 miles but I thought knowing my luck it would be not worth the risk by leaving the belt.

Cam belt on TD4 is 10 years but 7 years on SD4. That being said if it's a keeper then better safe than sorry. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

I think post 2012 they went to 7 years for cambelt regardless of TD4 or SD4? That was what I was led to believe 2014 Freelander 2 XS TD4
