Thanks GrumpyGel sorted with the link you gave out.

Thanks, I'm watching one on eBay now.

Hello, Does anybody know where or if there is a workshop manual for the L series freelander. I've downloaded the rave manual but that only covers the td4. Thanks.

Update. I've removed the egr valve and blanked it off after fighting with the bolts. Fitted a decat pipe and a new air filter. She certainly feels better to drive. Will update again when I've towed the van with her.

Nice one. Thanks

Hello, Could anyone please advise me as to where the air con pump is on the L series freelander. My button illuminates but air con doesn't work. Thanks

Replaced air filter and ordered a decat pipe.

Thanks Much appreciated.

I tried to undo the bottom bolts on the egr valve but didn't succeed. Top ones undid ok though.

Hello, Has anybody had to change their dashboard lamps (probably most people). Did you find any instruction on how to get to the ones behind the instruments without causing damage and cut fingers. Thanks.

Update, Ordered a standard air filter for now. Had a go at undoing the bolts on the EGR valve after spraying with WD40, the top ones under the cover are okay but the bottom ones have no chance of coming out. I fear they will shear off causing more hassle than it is worth. May have to leave...

Hi, can anybody recommend a non standard air filter for the Freelander XDi engine. Thanks

Haha 😉 Na we towed the van to South Wales with our Zafrira Tourer last month and had no probs. The access rd to a site was very rough so we took the hippo, that's when I found this problem out.

Hi Thanks for the heads up. I've introduced myself now. Fuel economy is good and it starts ok and runs ok just doesn't tow very well. I'll check the egr valve first I reckon and maybe run some millers through the fuel system see if that does anything.

I'm Jon. I live in Chesterfield Derbyshire and own a freelander 1 xdi. From what I can see this is a great forum just what I need to maintain my hippo!
