Get the terms of the LR warranty checked! Shocking

Indeed. Did you have to live with the car like that all this time?

Keep us posted on your progress Philip. I'm particularly interested if you can crack the instrument cluster. Are any/all those iso files of interest to you btw?

I now have some more Freelander 1 ECUs to reverse engineer:- Instrument cluster Diesel burning heater V6 cruise control ECU. For the TD4 it appears to be built into the engine ECU, at least from a diagnostics point of view.

I know it's difficult to find someone with it and looking around landy and rover forums there is demand for T4 use, that seems alot of money given other systems do ALMOST everything it does.

A Ford Coat Hanger might work ...

It's a few years since I put poly arb bushes on mine but I'm pretty sure I did it with the car on the gound, lying underneath without too much of a problem. I also fitted some split collars to the bar at the same time to stop it moving about.

To solve this and any further high pressure fuelling problems that come my way, I have purchased a 6,000 PSI gauge and an adaptor that will fit into the hp pressure sensor hole. This will allow rail monitoring. If low I can also fit the gauge to...

I probably have the files for a disk to be burned so will have a look at the weekend for you if you like? @Arctic2 sent me a load of files a while ago when I was keen on fitting a sensor and activating my ipack to show ambient temperature but...

Did the last owner of this vehicle have the initials KB?

It works 😊 I called into a Tesco in Lisburn Co Antrim today, plugged it in, pressed the charge start button and it started charging straight away👏

This is a glorious sight. I wonder what the Tesla/Polestar (enter any other EV vehicle here) owners make of it when they drive in and are looking for a charger...

Well done for getting it sorted. As a matter of interest, can you buy the sockets those chargers plug in to? Might stick 1 on the side of my Freelanders so I can plug a charger in and make it look like its charging. Quite often the charging...

So after a couple of weeks procrastinating I finally made time to try and figure out how to make the charger work at a commercial EVSE which the setup above failed to achieve. It works great at home but commercial chargers require a low...

My old F1 came home for a repair ‘visit’ today. Needed a new rear light lens fitting 🙄

More shiny bits fitted the other week…

Switched out the RH upper engine mount insulator for a nice shiny new LR one. It’s oil(?) filled, and was flagged as suspect whilst having some work done the other week. Sure enough, it was leaking when I got it out. Think the tie-bar rubber is...

Hello everyone! Finally I have good news: My Freelander is back on the road! The only problem was actually the large fuse 120A from the alternator. Nothing else broke. I had no chance to get the fuse here. That's why I had to order it. When you...

I have a Bambulabs X1c and it is excellent. The AMS allows it to print up to 4 colour models. Baby Groots anyone? The milwaukee box was printed too.

I was thinking of getting a 3d printer. So I can do a monster dog turd model, and display at the Tate gallery as a EV Evoque 😁

Picked up a hand held CB radio yesterday (Thunderpole TX) and fitted the mount for the antenna. But I didn't have anyway to mount the radio to the RAM mounts I have. So I had to design one and 3D print it out of ASA. The design allows for the...

A colleague of mine has got into 3D printing in a big way and some of the stuff he is doing is really very good. He can do pretty detailed pieces and the stuff he's made has a robust feeling that I didn't expect from layers of melted plastic...

I decided to go to a master electrician and boom, I found a bad wire connection, a broken wire on pin 2, giving off weak voltage and the body of the wiper motor was not in contact with the bodywork as it was receiving little current. The master...

Good news the Freelander 1 belonging to my friend passed it's MOT on April 1st no less and no advisories, so all is good at the moment.

It has all been cleaned out, new filters and oil. Set of injectors to go in tomorrow from a spare working vehicle when the seals and washers arrive and then see what happens !!

Wow. Those pics are incredible. If it runs in good order after sorting that egr and manifold, and the lack of filter/oil changes has not killed it I shall be very impressed. Keep us informed Andy

LZ is more than just a car forum. It's therapy too.

Tell her to get out and walk then.....

MOT history says all is mostly well. Know nothing of engine failure details but have a spare !! Would be rare for a TD4 to destruct unless turbo has caused run away. Paid about the price of tyres on it so worth a shot.

This reminds me of the Williams Clio of the 90's
