Hi,

My name is Paul and im a new proud owner of a freelander 2, im quite a keen car owner as i always service and maintain my own cars to dealer spec.

As i said i have just purchased my first land rover and when looking at the car i failed to notice this issue pictured, oil around the top end breather pipe, could anybody please point me in the direction as to the possible issue?

The car is dealer fully serviced from new (2007) except for an evans halshaw stamp, the car is a gem with all spec and and not a problem in sight, except this and rubbish MPG 30

If anybody could help i would be very happy

See you around

Paul

OH NO!!!! they are going to start laughing at me and my smoking engine again


There is a certain amount of oil vapour that works its way back up in to the air pipe, and settles and leaks from the joint, and down to were you see it, they have released a updated part and this joint has been changed to prevent this

Nothing to worry about unless the engine gets hot and the oil drips on the exhaust or whatever is below and starts smoking, perfectly fine apparently, and the were theres smoke theres fire saying is nothing to worry about, make sure your mates aint about if your worried

Hi Guys,

I'm back i am now looking at cleaning the air systems and fitting a kn filter tomorrow but i cannot find any similar engine in takes that look the same as mine with the hollow plastic fingers on the top, is this an old design or a crazy dream of somebody, would this be causing such high MPG? im getting about 25-27

Just checking before i spend some money

thanks

This may enlighten you a little http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic13985.html?highlight=air+intake

Thanks, still not sure if to replace or keep..

I do search before I ask believe it or not

I have a kn filter if your wanting one

Used for about 6 months or so. Made no difference to mpg

Not sure what it's worth  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

O god don't say that just spent £40 on one, should have put it in the tank.

Getting a terraclean tomorrow, had it done in a Mercedes 6 months ago and highly recommend it.

What type of driving do you do? I get on avg 23/24 mpg too, lots of in town 20/30mph driving will keep the mpg low Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

sorry did not notice a reply.

Yorkshire hills avg 22mph, heavy foot 30 miles per day, work and back. mpg not going over 25!!!

just fitted kn filter, terraclean, no diffrent.

Should i be resetting the computer every time i fill or just leave it?

i got 410 miles from the last fill up

before this i had a c class merc that did 40mpg and a clio that did 65mpg, so yes its a little bit of an eye opener
