Hey guys - got a request. Has anyone got a wiring diagram that includes the N75 valve on a TD4? I've been trying to get the "correct" RAVE to have a peek (the joy of 1mb internet, and 500mb+ files!), but the only one I've been able to finally open, doesn't show it. If anyone could have a peek...

Getting daft ideas about converting a Hippo into a hybrid... Replace the VCU with a large electric motor (of forklift origins) propshaft to the rear as standard. Throw out the standard gearbox, and replace with a FWD PG1, to help offset a bit of the weight, and give more space. Control method...

Getting the idea of making a full steel nudge/winch/bull bar setup for my next FL1, and looking for a bit of inspiration. The whole shebang will be 4mm steel, CNC plasma cut, and welded together by a professional (I've seen the welding, and it's 10x nicer than mine!) So not chopped about with a...

I think I'd be safe in saying, 99% of people on here, want to mod their hippo... but not all of these mods are possible due to time/funds. My pipe-dreams are: tri-turbo, from three GT1752 turbos (got one, picking up it's twin soon, and then just rebuild one of my other GT1752's that are...

A few people have now asked me to write up a little bit about the mods I've done/working on for the L series. Might as well make it into a small guide as well eh? INJECTORS First up, the Freelander injectors have been swapped out for Rover SDi injectors - these have slightly larger nozzles...

so stumbled across this list, on a site that allowed you to search by pcd and centre bore - turns out a LOT of Hondas share the same fitment, and a similar offset PCD 5x114.3 64.1 wheels -Wheelfitment.eu | PCD, Offset, Center Bore, mounting and tire size data Gives people a bit more choice...

When I first picked up my Hippo, it had the 3 amigos, so the HDC didn't work... once I pulled off the gaitor, it turned out the wiring had been ripped out of the crimped connection anyway... Re-crimped the wiring, only to have the sodding solder connections fail on to the switch fall off...

Something I've contemplated since before I even owned my hippo - fitting transit dual steelies Was originally just going to be for the rears, with the hippo converted to RWD, but I'm liking the idea of a haldex setup... so maybe a full on set of FOUR dualies could work well for...

Clutch biting point has always been basically "in the carpet" since I bought the Hipp-o-crap. Clutch release arm is nice and free Tried bleeding the clutch - and whilst the fluid was a bit manky, it didn't appear to have air in. Slapped on the hydraulics from my Rover 45 (after swapping the...

Right, had the hippo for coming up to 2 weeks now, and one thing has become rather clear... Whoever calibrated the time delay for the immobiliser, clearly was an impatient git. I can disable it from the passenger side - and by the time I'm in the drivers seat, the little red light's started...

After a bit of forum hunting and googling, it seems the issue with my naff central locking, is most likely due to worn out/tired motors. All post seem to be filled with people content with spending £65+VAT on each unit, and just swapping them out - with only a single brief mention of...

Picked up this lovely thing today, in a hideous gold colour :lol: The list of faults currently stands at: dead speedo no VCU/prop rear wipe/wash is dead central locking is dead interior light can't be manually switched on hole in the radiator driver side of rear bench won't...

Finally picking up my first hippo on Sunday (yaaay!) but I'm wondering... is the early L series hippo compatible with the OBD based Torque app? Would be nice if it is, as it gives an amazingly accurate boost gauge on my Rover 45. Answers on a postcode :D

Hypothetical question: Whilst it's obvious the physical Hippo PG1 can simply be swapped to a PG1 from say, a Rover 25/45/etc, and the gearshift support may need to be modified to suit.... what about the driveshaft lengths? Has anyone got the lengths of the front driveshafts to hand...

so, actually tried the baby seat in my Rover 45 tonight (due in 2 weeks!) and it only fits if you're amputated below the lungs... :rolleyes: So, in the next month, going to be buying my first Freelander - only interested in an early L series diesel, so assuming FL1 is the right name for it...

Hey all! New to the forum, and will no doubt have many questions for my oddball project (fitting mk1 freelander running gear into a R45... quite a lot of it is bolt-on parts, only the steering to sort now) but I digress... How many L series engined Freelanders are modded? I mean beyond just...
