The new TD4 has 10 less bhp but a little more torque (not sure how much more). Its supposedly more refined too. There is the SD4 which is more powerful of course but thats dearer still. Don't think there is any gearbox differences. Obvious advantage is warranty and breakdown with new cars and residual values have gone up recently for 4x4's cos of all the snow. Pros and cons to both, test driving both is the key. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

The new TD4 is "greener" with less emissions so road tax is cheaper, can be from £200 to £155 I believe unless you own a TD4e then it's £180 to £155.

Thanks all so far. Not really sounding like £12k's worth so far tbh "new car feel" aside of course. |

The suspension is... the same? 2010 HSE Auto in Santorini Black/almond with xenons and privacy glass. |

Definately doesn't feel it - corners flatter and is less noisy over potholes and road humps - Not as much road noise through the car either even though it is on same tyres as my previous My08. Did they make changes between 2008 and the introduction of the new one then? I'm not the first to comment on it. There's always a way forward! 2008 Freelander Td4 GS - Stornoway Grey - Now Gone - Sob 2011 Freelander Td4 GS 150 - Rimini Red - in its place - Better x far x 4!! |

Have to agree ride seems better in MY11 TD4 over 07 TD4. Also believe that there is more soundproofing in the MY11 which could explain why it is quieter. |

Thanks npinks, If someone knows more differences, let's discuss them here... I own MY11 150PS just a month, the car is awesome on our slippery and snowy winter roads... At first i thought it's really just a facelift, but it isn't, the engine is really new. For now, the most interesting question for me is how to make 190PS from my 150. |

Indeed, the suspension in MY11 has minor differences from MY10. For example, the front frame assy is new and has a special anti-vibration damper (which seems to be missing in MY10 and older). IMHO this is really the thing which can cause MY11 to feel softer and quieter on the road. Rear suspension is basically the same. Shock absorbers and springs are the same. |

So it's a Ford engine after all, not an PSA anymore... Or at least there is more Ford involvment than the old PSA... This is why they have different injectors. But history tell us that not even the injectors that equipped Ford engines wasn't so reliable... As for the FFBH, they switch from the old ThermoTop V to ThermoTop C by any chance? |

Exactly! No more french engines! Wikipedia has a good article about Ford DuraTorq (code name "Puma") engines, seems that ours is "made in England" by Ford.
Yeah, they all greatly depend on fuel quality. Here in Russia we still sometimes have a bad diesel (with high water, sulfur content etc), so if by a chance it gets into Freel's "mouth", any injector will fail sooner or later. So we are cautious about choosing gas stations etc.
Would be a great idea, but i doubt it. Next week i'll meet with a certified webasto/LR2 spec, will ask him about it. |
