In my manual variant, I change up at or before 2000rpm. This minimises turbo use. The low end torque is more than adequate for normal motoring in that range. Down hills, never coast in neutral/clutch in. I believe that the engine uses near zero fuel under engine braking conditions - select a suitable gear to get some engine braking at low rpm.

Thanks for the reply James. I should maybe have mentioned that my Freely's DPF was replaced just before the warranty ran out (today) and is now 3 years old and ca. 54000km. Therefore in my case not on a new vehicle as DervFan.

If it is the DPF: warm the car to normal running tempature then drive at a contstant speed above 30 mph for between 20 and 30 mins for example on a motorway. Stop the motor and wait for it to cool (about 10-15 mins or so) and restart. Hopefully the warning has gone and you will get normal running again ![]() If this dosnt work, its a visit to the dealer. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

No get an auto - doesn't seem to be a problem on the higher revving less environmentally freindly auto. Maybe that's the point, the EU is really anti-green ![]() Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner |

Hmm. What are they like off-road? Seriously, I would consider it, but like most Londoners I'd need a few hundred metres of cable to link it from whatever spot I can find to park, up to my power point to charge it. And of course the local yobs would love that. And that's not to mention the neighbour who would "accidentally" trip over the cable and sue me. ![]() |
