when I did my auto conversion the gearbox worked fine, but quite quickly after the initial start it started making a nasty noise, this was after refilling, engine warm and running, upto the level. I drove it around a bit (including a one hour...

From my experience; Rimmer Bros customer services like to play these games. They supplied me with reversing sensors that didn't work and then told me that because I had tried them that I would have to put in a warranty claim and wait for...

It would seem logical to me that you can't defeat deadlock by reaching in through an open window and hitting a switch. Edit: I just tried. If I lock with the fob then it deadlocks, and the interior switch now does absolutely nothing. if I lock...

As far as I know the door locks are all driven by the 27VT body control module. I don't think that any of the switches are connected to the door lock motors in any way. Basically the switches are all just "requests" to the 27VT and it's the 27VT...

are people coming on Friday night, camping, coming to the meet and then going home? or, arrive Saturday morning, camping and going home Sunday?

Hi I need to have a look at a 3.0 TDV6 engine side by side with my Jaguar 2.7. I'm trying to figure out if the aluminium intakes designed for a Disco 4 will fit on my engine and no one can tell me. If anyone has one near me in Ruislip and I could...

I've never done with with brakes, only on a clutch on an old Peugeot that was very difficult to do, but I think it would work. I got a length of hose that was secure on the bleed nipple but long enough to run all the way back to the fluid...

and I will bring my T4 and can do demos of pscan for anyone that wants to have a play with it

I have changed the title of the topic. Maybe the mods could pin it until after 13th?

pre 2000 and post 2000 use completely different protocols from the alarm (pre 2000) / immo (post 2000) to the engine ECU pre 2000 it's the old MG Rover EMS codes. This is a fixed code which is the same system as MG Rover 5AS and Pektron alarm...

on a 2000 on it uses a BMW rolling code system. You can reflash the engine ECU to ignore the immo. The immo also inhibits the starter motor so you would have to wire your own starter motor relay from the key to bypass it. I don't remember what...

They used the 27VT as both alarm and immobiliser up until 1999. From year 2000 they took the immo function out of the 27VT and moved it to a separate BMW based EWS3D and then in 2004 replace the EWS3D with their own SAWDOC system. So, if your...

was there a definitive conclusion to this? I have a boost leak on my Jaguar XJ year 2006 with the 2.7 engine. Jaguar part numbers for inlet manifolds / rocker covers are as follows:- 2.7 LH C2S52858 RH C2S52859 3.0 LH C2S52868 RH C2S52869 I...

13th September works for me. But if I'm the only one not wanting it in late July I'm not going to be resentful about it.

first fuel consumption figures are in. We are getting about 24mpg driving around London. Driving to PoL and back, most of which was cruising at 65mph or so on the M40 got me 30mpg. I don't know how that compares with a manual 1.8 but it doesn't...

also I'm free basically whole of June and whole of September except the first week

though in exemption to the school holiday thing, I am totally free May 24/25th and May / June weather in North Devon seems not too much different to July.

I'll be working from the inlaws for the entire school holiday, so "go" yes, "on holiday", not so much.

I will bring my T4 if a date can be done when I'm actually available.

also, won't hotels in Devon be difficult during school holidays?

I can't do school holidays. I have to go on holiday given that the wife works in a school. Could we do a non holiday weekend?

I got interviewed. 10:48 in:-

Hi I'm wondering if there are any UK shows or meetups this spring or summer that people with Freelanders tend to go to?

Update on my IRD JIG assembly and an attempt to torque the pinion wheel nut to 184ft/lbs. I report ‘failure’. I used a 2mm steel plate to fabricate a locking device for the flats on the end of the ‘lay shaft’…Initially the locking device...

Having stitched half of year 2003 V6 auto loom into a year 2005 1.8 K series, yes they do. The wiring diagrams were pretty much faultless.

Pin 7 of the OBD connector should go to pin C0603-3 of the TD4 engine ECU. I'm pretty sure it will be a pink wire.

sending off the ECU for repair seems an expensive hassle without testing the K line wire first.

It can unlock the doors from the "Actuators" menu of the 27VT CCU. I haven't tried it with the ignition off though.

oh and I have an invitation from one of the clubs to join them at Pride of Longbridge this Saturday, assuming that the marshals even let me in a Landrover (it's doubtful). Anyway if I can get in then I'll be at PoL this Saturday with 1.8 auto.

I don't know much about Autel, but there is a comparison of tools here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-diagnostics-what-actually-works.378679/ Have you tested continuity from pin 7 of the diagnostic socket to the correct pin...
