Isofix car seat, Isofix baby seat base, crushed carpet crisps, sticky leather seats (next to Isofix car seat), upgraded front rubber cup holder things, wired up USB charge and audio for my iphone, side steps, de-tango'd lights, H7 OSRAM Nighbreakers, LED side lights, LED reverse lights, clear repeaters, Narpy Grill... tools I don't know how to use.... yet..
Mine is due for its 120000 mile service. I've decided given this mileage service stamps become unimportant to most so I'm doing it myself this Sunday and will just make a note of it in the service book. Luckily for me the previous owner had the service light turned off so dont need that resetting neither. Bought the service pack from Advanced Factors for £80 odd with free delivery can't go wrong. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Call Shukers in Ludlow (you could have nice day out there too), thats more than I paid for my 105K belt change service on my last D3. Ask for Dave Roberts.

I'm of the same opinion. My D3 is showing 170K so stamps in the book are pretty much irrelevant. I've ordered the £49 service kit from AF, although I've asked for a 5w40 B3/B4 oil instead of the 5W30 A1 Ford spec oil supplied in the kit. Advanced Factors were more than happy to supply what I asked.
I'm thinking the thicker oil will provide better bearing protection at my engine's high mileage.Freelander SE 2005 Auto.
D3 TDV6. Gone.
