ah, I see thanks

You are missing nothing ! It is a simple way of effecting EGR removal and cost nowt... If a blank or a hollowed out EGR is fitted it improves the air flow. Whether it is noticeable is difficult to answer

Me too For sure, when I cleaned my inlet manifold and EGR (latter wasnt too bad though) it made a heck of a difference I also thought the reason for getting clogged up could be the sump breather filter being blocked?

Possibly. Mine was not stuck open though. That's exactly what I did.

I thought that the problem with a clogged EGR was that it can get stuck open So the blanking mod just takes the valve part away So why not clean it out, ensure it's closed and disconnect the vacuum pipe so that it never opens (effectively...

One solution is to do the EGR and manifold clean out, and then simply isolate the vac supply to the EGR.

thank you @Nodge68 68?, nearly as good as 67.

A freelander 1 is a metric spanner vehicle.

The nuts on the front of the propshaft to IRD bolts are best fit for 1/2 inch AF. Also the TD4 aux belt tensioner is 15/16 inch AF. 24mm is loose and hurts your knuckles when it slips off !! Can you get 6 sided ring spanners ??

Onto the tracking bit: Rave says toe out of -0.23 +- 0.23 degrees (0 to 0.46 degrees) Which by simple trig is 0 to 4.0 m/km Where do people run? Road mostly if not exclusively.

Everything is metric in my experience on my TD4 FL1 Facelift 2005 LHD. This week I discovered that draper tools and a mix of other spanners were too "loose" on the 10mm anti-roll bar bush retaining bracket screws. I finally tried a Wurth set of...

Amongst other things, a good set of 6-sided metric sockets and spanners is a must !

Just for future Reference:

its done now. not sure what at, he talked about 1.37 mm but then said straight ahead. I thought when i could speak fluently that i would understand but they never speak in a straight line here ... As long as it passes mot im happy Got a note last...

Maybe Landrover thought let's switch it up for LHD models and use imperial, they've not really been known for thinking intelligently 😂

Yup. Iknow the equivalents that are ok if not siezed but I'm not doing the job. I was just surprised that he found imperial sizes on the freelander, especially a LHD for Portugal

Hi. Quick question I'm getting tracking done in portugal and he is trying to find imperial spanners / sockets as its a landrover Everything else i have done on the car is metric Its a 2001 Portuguese FL1 td4 Isnt everything metric? And what size...

Thought I'd have a look at the link. Great project for someone, as said, quite rare these days. But I don't go onto MarketPlace that often, and when I do, I always have a look at what Freelanders (if any) and Triumphs are for sale here. There...

I only like to use the gates stat, do you have a manual or Auto FL1 1 2 3 4 Manual below Auto is different 5 6 7

Where does the temp gauge level out with a fully functioning original thermostat (i.e. without mod)? On a not really hot or cold day, and driving, not in traffic Half way, or 1/4 way? or summat else? I seem to remember mine sitting at 1/4...

I have VirtualBox with Win 10 on my Linux dual boot too

I meant its a cock up for M$ when they make something work without any hassle

You mean they made something work without any hassle?

My RAVE just worked on my Win 11! Just thought I'd try it and voila! That made me happy No idea why
