does any one know what the yellow plastic stick with diesel written on it is for?its in the boot under the tyre my previous freelander never had one,i thought it might be to open the flap in side the fuel filler neck when filling from a can,but there is no flap.

It's I case you try to put the wrong fuel in  Al C

It's for if you put the wrong fuel in your tank. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

If you accidentally try to put petrol in the tank, a yellow flap in the filler neck shuts off making it very hard to fill the tank with the wrong fuel and damage the engine. The yellow stick you have is to reset the flap. It's a misfuel reset device. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Do all FL 2's have this? Martyn

My old 57 plate didnt have it but my 13 plate has, so I would say no not all have it. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

Fair do's
Does sound like a very clever idea though. Martyn

The yellow stick thing came in in 2011 I believe. I have one (11 reg facelift) but my son's 60 reg didn't. 2011 also saw the DPF added and reduced emissions and then the dreaded hesitation problem. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

My 2011 has it but Ive been too embarrassed to ask this question.

You have got to like a honest man.

Over on the DS forum one member reported recently that his wife had managed to fill the tank with petrol despite there being an active misfueling system in place . FL2 gone now in 2016 Discovery 4 Loire Blue .

You can still refuel with either fuel with the device activated as it doesn't completely shut the neck off but it would take absolutely ages. The fuel pump will keep clicking off. I suppose they make it like this in case drivers who accidentally trip it can still fuel up with the correct fuel if they don't know how to reset it/don't have the tool/don't know how to use the tool. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
