    Hi, We are about to pick up our new to us 2007 FL2 TD4 SE, with 145000km on the clock, was wondering as to a list of servicing points to do, to bring it to a known state of service to go on with from here ie engine G/box diffs etc. Also any tools I might need, already noted wrench spanner bleed pump and workshop manual. Will be doing most services myself, as a long term Land Rover owner, moving up from a classic R/R.
    Thanks Joe

    Thanks to this guide I serviced my 2007 TD4 today with no real issues.

    Boy did that ratchet spanner make it easy to get at the oil filter. What an excellent idea!

    I tackled priming the fuel filter a little differently. I used a generic Draper syphon pump with squueeze bulb. Put the inlet hose in a fresh can of diesel and the output end onto the inlet of the new filter. Pumped fresh diesel into the filter inlet until it dribbled out the outlet fitting on the filter. Reconnected the hoses and it started up and ran on the second try. 😊

    Cheers,
    Bnicho.

    A;most finished the service!

    I attempted the Freelander 2 serive today. I managed to extract the oil using this. 12V Mini Pump Extractor Oil Fluid Moter Van Car Auto Efficient Change Kit | eBay
    I'll use this on the Disco 2 TD5.
    Replacing the air filter was a piece of cake. Like wise for the fuel filter. You tube has videos for these.
    As for purging!! I used this. PK Tools Diesel Injection System Priming Pump 3/8" Connections Drain & Transfer 9313743710183 | eBay
    It is 3/8 not 10mm, however, buy some 10mm tube from Bunnings to allow a smooth run from the priming pump to the connectors. The guide at the start states puish until it gets hard. Mine did not get hard, I think the one way valve fails and pressure drops to zero. But it did bleed the system and the car did start.
    I did not have a flexible 27mm ratchet spanner and was unable to remove the filter. I though the TD5 was hard to do. I have one on order and will fix this in late December.
    As I was a bit knackered I did not replace the cabin filter, also fix in December

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I've ordered the service kit for my FL2 and plan to service over the December break.

    Are the connectors/fittings that came with the priming pump compatible with the ends on the FL2 lines and filter or is that why you used the 10mm hose?

    I used the 10mm hose so that the pipe did not get kinked as the bend is severe.

    Make sure you get the flexible head ratchet spanner, I am still waiting for mine to arrive so that I can finally change the oil filter.

    My arms and hands seem to be too thick to get the spanner on the oil filter. It would be nice if I could remove the thick black plastic trim, but it seems that you need to remove the front bumper assembly to remove it. I'll have another try.

    Well no good, off to Hunter and Cuthills whne the Wuhan virus issue is over in Australia
