Interesting video thanks. My FL2 wouldn’t pull when hot, dangerous in heavy traffic at roundabouts etc. I’ve just had my filter changed by an LR specialist mechanic, he said that a budget after market one had been fitted and it didn’t have a thermostatic valve in it which was causing the problem. A point worth noting if your followers are doing their own servicing or even check what your local garages are fitting. Mine appears to have let me down, I only had it serviced three months ago with a new (wrong) filter fitted. It’s now cost me another £250 to get it sorted!! Beware who you trust?
Hi Kenneth 👋 I have pinned your comment so it stays at the top of the comments. I just want to add the following for anyone else that see's this comment: Important: Buy Genuine LR/Purflux/Bosch/Coopers Filter! Part number: LR001313 I'm not sure how these manufacturers can get away with selling fuel filters that are 100% not fit for purpose for the Freelander 2's. It really baffles me sometimes. 😁 - Scott
Hi Andy 👋. Really appreciate you taking the time to post that comment. It's always great to hear when one of our feeble videos goes some way to helping someone 😁. We now use a giant syringe since making this video that we talked about in one of our top tips videos. I may have to show it in another video as it makes life even easier than what we used in this video 😃. - Scott
Loving you videos and you’ve helped me do a full service on my fl2! One thing I did when changing the fuel filter was to bleed from the fuel inlet into the filter and then the return line! Worked a treat! Just wish I remembered to clip the sensor back in as it all worked and then the car went into limp mode 😂 luckily I just clipped it in and all was well!
It's always nice to hear when our videos have gone some way into helping people maintain their own Freelander 2's. 👍😃 Your sensor issue made the both of us laugh when we read your comment. 😅 It's one of those silly oversights that firstly make you think you've broken the car until you realise it's just a missed sensor. If that's the only "disaster" that you had then I think you can consider a job well done. 👌😁 - Scott
Guys this helped me a lot with my Evoque, so thanks a lot. I was also wondering why the electric connector was blanked off on the replacement filter so thanks for pointing that out as well. That said, online I found the screw-in water sensor adapter ( Nty ecw-lr-001 water sensor arrangement fuel ) that you can screw into the threaded hole on the bottom of the filter, it will puncture through into the filter to sensor water. I guess if you want a water sensor you can go for that option, and you don’t can simply plug the connector into the blanked off connector to get the wiring out of the way (?).
I had to bleed and prime my fuel filter ( I was told by a mechanic that this is how it works with all the LR's, RR and Jags). I had to invest in a vaccum pump. That was connected to a compressor (you can use a hand pump) with a one-way valve. You need to bleed the outlet taking fuel back to the tank and the outlet to the injectors. You need to bleed this both. to get the Fuel filter filled with diesel and remove the air. The amount of air bubbles was incredible. The fuel was bled into a secondary 5lt drum or anything large. Take your time until there is no bubbles. Make sure you have enough fuel in you car for this effort. After 3 start (cranks), the car finally started. You need to do this every 12 months or 12,000Ks. Also please make sure your fuel filter either fits a SD4 or TD4. Some fuel filters are not specified for SD4. SD4's draws more fuel because of it higher Kw rating.
Top tutorial. Nut is a flanged nut. Screwdriver thingy is called a driver. To make live easier use a 1/4” extension on the ratchet. Better still get a 1/4” driver that can also be used as an extension. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Fuel filter service schedule is every 2 years or 30k but I would half the mileage on them as they can show signs of blocking up at 15k. General service is every 12 months of 15k oil, filter, air filter etc. Brake fluids every 3 years. Flexible hoses every 6 years. I tend to change my oil and filter every 5-6k on diesels. Must check when the fuel filter was done also as I can't remember. I also put a tank of BP ultimate Diesel in for every 4 tanks.
What made me think that the fuel filter was a yearly item was that the service packs that can be brought always include a fuel filter. 😀 It does make my head spin somewhat trying to keep on top of what needs to be serviced and when with the amount of different fluids and items on a Freelander 2 such as the haldex oil, PTU oil and the likes to add into the mix. 😅
Hahahaha. 😂 We only tackle the easier jobs on our car. Anything too complicated we take it to someone that ACTUALLY knows what they are doing. 😄 - Scott
Hi Rmgbgt 👋. I'm personally not saying if your method is wrong or right. But I have seen that this could be a bad idea as some of the fuel inside the filter won't have been filtered before it enters the injectors. 1 tiny, tiny piece of dirt could then block one of the piezo injectors. 😀 - Scott
A valid point. Just be careful to fill via the front left connector and it will filter as normal. Good, clear video btw. The connector, I believe, is a fuel temp sensor.
If you're asking us and not someone else who has left a comment, then we showed what we used at 9:27 in the video. 😀 Although if we were to do it again, then maybe we'd try something like a big syringe that could pull the fuel through a bit harder. The hand bulb in the setup we used started to struggle when fuel started to come up the clear pipe, but it did the job ultimately. 👍🏻😀

Thanks Scott & Alana, I hope this helps others🤔
Just followed this and worked first time, I used a hand primer as well not great but did the job well enough for diy purposes, cheers 👍🏼

I had to bleed-through over 15 litres.

The three hex bolts holding the filter down are 6mm not 10mm.
Thanks for that comment RaysTrack 😀👍. I think the water had got into my head at that point. 😁

Pre fill the filter before you fit it. Easy.

What make of pump did you use
