First off, it's suggested that new tyres always go on the back, so the garage should really have swapped them front to back.

| The fuel filter at the front is vulnerable to getting burst in a hard front impact, which could allow fuel to spill onto burning wiring from the alternator, so it's protected by that heavy duty casing ... |

JLR dont make lubricants or brake parts or wiper blades or light bulbs or tyres or shock absorbers etc so as long as the spec is met and the quality is acceptable then its OK in my book.

I have a ripped off version of Delphi diagnostics, which works on every vehicle I've tried.
I have an IID too, but it has been stuck in an updated loop for months. It won't update, but connected to ... |

I don't regret owning a Freelander 2, it's a brilliant car. It just doesn't work for us at the moment, more so now we seem to be visiting various places with ULEZ restrictions.
One thing I'd like ... |

Ive just had Solar panels and battery installed - I expect an EV to be heading our way at some time.
15 panels (440w), 6kW invertor and 9.5 kWh battery and 7kW charger
Will probably replace the ... |

For me fuel cost was way more than maintenance and repairs, and depreciation.
I was shocked at how much I paid for fuel over 4 years and 30k miles.
27 Pence per mile on fuel, works out to serious ... |

This is all really helpful thanks - been quoted 15 hours work at £60+VAT to remove and install new engine so if I can find one at approx £750 that would be worth it.
Thanks again - this has really ... |

Nice.
I've not gone for a battery, as it doesn't make financial sense. We're now on an EV tariff, which means very cheap electricity between 12 and 7am. The solar takes over in the daytime, so offse ... |

If damage is just bent valves and broken rockers, then the parts spend is minor. However a replacement engine wouldn't be much more than repairing the one you have.
Labour is the expensive part, so h ... |

You could try something key shaped. I can't believe LR would have actually used a high security lock for the passenger airbag disable switch.
Alternatively you'll probably have to simply link out t ... |
