Engine is completely shot ! I went through a phase of using SVO without pre heat or diesel start - result is bore glaze and rings siezed = massive blow-by and very poor starting. Existing fuel lines are fine for oil, as is filter. I used a marine tank in boot for diesel. One freelander going to...

Its people like SLOB who make this forum the pile of ****e that it has become. I hereby renounce my membership - and I wont be back to read any replies. You obviously have the vocabulary of a chimp and the brains of a turd. Do you really think that anything you have said is the least bit...

I never get above 360

Castle comb...at least ive got a licence which allows me to compete there...bet you havent LOL!!!! Tuning diesels is great cos its not easy to blow them up - OK I manage now and then but it doesnt put me off. Just for the ecord I used to own Hargate Racing, specialising in cylinder head mods...

Nd while im on a roll....I agree that 1.5 bar might be a tad high, but it should run @ 1.2 all day so its not that much of a hike.

Christ on a bike ! How many of you know anything about turbocharged engines? First off there was plenty of oil in it - thank god i do check it regulary! And as for 100 mph being fast...that was an indicated 100, probably 85 in reality! The L series engine is very tunable and the internals will...

As some of you may be aware, ive worked in motorsport for many years - and I run my freelander on chip oil!! Driving down M65, 100mph @ 1.5 bar boost, mucho smoko, pulled over, switch off and........nothing happens, engine on full bore..engage clutch and force stall. Sump oil level critically...

theyre handy for bolting spotlights too ....

Like I said....why doesnt everyone have one ????? Mine also gives better MPG -

lets get one thing straight, only ever connect like for like terminals, + to +, - to - when jumping - now theres another distinct posibility, if you drain a typical lead/acid battery far enough it will not recover (under conventional circumstances - zap the bastard with 72V and a couple thousand...

I bought a marine type tank off ebay @ £10, some flexi tube @ £5, a large roll of B&Q 8mm copper pipe @ £15, 2 solenoid valves from a local LPG fitter @ £10 each, couple of in line filters & Y pieces & hose clips + switch, wire & terminals - strapped tank into boot, ran pipe...

COSTCO IS 48PPL, for what its worth, i ran mine on a 50/50 mix for a few thou miles but wasnt comfortable with it on cold mornings. If anyone wants a twin plug fuel heater its yours for £20 - with brand new plugs (hence the price) untested.

Gone to a 2 tank system, cost about £80 all in, will recoup this in just one week of motoring - running perfect !

thanks sparky - I only rAVE COS its the cheapest power boost known to mandind ) Buxton.......the cat & fiddle.....keep up dude !!!

in my opinion the surest way to DIY test for head gasket failure is to see if the coolent hoses go rock hard straight after starting a cold engine - oil in water & water in oil all have certail specific presumtions which may or no be met whilst a pressurised coolant tract is almost a cert. HTH.
