Hello Keith.
I saw Your problem on the petrol tank strap. I,m having the same problem on my 2002 Freelander V6 , im changing to a New engine and when i was
under the car i saw that the strap or cradle around the petrol tank was rusted away . We have a Cold and long Winter i Norway so rust is a big problem on most cars
over here. Bought this car because the previous owner didnt want to repair after engine breakdown, so i got it ultra cheap and loving it.
I have been searching on several pages in England for a used one , but it have not been easy to find . If you could share Your experience With me i would be geatful but i know there is a lot of work to get the tank Down .
Best regards
Ole Martin
