Thanks again guys, such a wealth of knowledge on here.

Wow that was quick S1monm thanks, I will see if the eurocar parts have one and pop down during the day. looking online there is 2 sides to the filter, should the other end be connected to another pipe?

Hi Guys, Not been online for a while due to work commitments, but I finally found some time to fit my erg blanking pipe today, wow the amount of crud in the inlet was crazy, anyway I had a check around everything under the engine bay at the same time and found a pipe round the back of the engine...

I had a bit of spare time today so got the buffer out and gave the bodywork a good going over, managed to get most of the swirls out the paintwork with cutting compound however there are a few scratches that may need a bit more work. I has come up pretty well with a good waxing after it all, so...

Very nice mate, looks like you know what your going to do with it :p I look forward to seeing it progress. My temp gauge also sits just under half way most of the time but does tend to fluctuate a bit.

Ah thanks:)

Thanks guys, the fluctuation doesn’t seem to be too bad so I will just keep an eye on it. Everything seems to be running ok so i dont think its anything to worry about. Sorry not sure what you mean by FBH?

Managed to do a bit of Google searching today and it turns out the pre heater will purge gasses once the engine has been switched off. Still need to look in to why the temp gauge is fluctuating so much though.

Not had my freelander long so hope someone can help me confirm if the diesel pre heater is working as expected. Today when I got back from work I heard a noise from the front of the car after turning the engine off, this did not sound like the cooling fan still running, on investigation the...

Yes not too far at all if your in Croydon. I collected the freelander on Saturday and have been very pleased with it so far. It has a couple of little niggles that I want to sort out, mainly the paintwork and interior but that's nothing a good going over with a buffer, some interior...

Your pretty close then, have you tried out any of the green lanes locally, I have done fair chunk of the ones local to me and around Maidstone area but not really ventured down as far as Ashford. My Jimny was not the fastest car in the world so it would have been pretty painful driving down...

Just had a read through your thread, thats a nice Freelander you have there. I bet you cant wait to get some bigger tyres on there now it will make a great difference to the apperances. Mine also has 17's so will be looking at different all terrain options, I look forward to seeing what you...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, cant wait to collect it now, praying for some snow over the next few months. I had a little fun in the snow last year in my Jimny, it never struggled once however it did have insa turbo special tracks on so that made a big difference, it will be interseting to...

Hi All I thought I would post to say hi and start a thread about my new Freelander. Really looking forward to collecting it on Saturday, it’s a 53 plate TD4 HSE auto so pretty well spec'd and the auto should help a little with the muddy stuff:D, its a fairly high mileage car with 103k on the...

Hi Guys, I have been lurking for a month or so whilst looking for a Freelander and now I have paid a deposit on one and waiting to collect next weekend I thought it about time to register and say hi. I can hear the sighs from here, yes a Freelander I decided on this as it ticked all the boxes...
