    Buying a synergy unit and maf

    You should notice the difference with the egr bypass mod, I did. Just make sure you have plenty of oven cleaner to clean out the air intake manifold! Mine took 3 full spray cans and a lot of dirty rags.

    Buying a synergy unit and maf

    Well it's been a busy day full of oil. The Ron box went in with little difficulty, the main problem I had was getting the MAF sensor out due to them being the 6 star torx bolts and not the 5 I thought they were. I decided to upgrade the PCV filter as well as it was accessible. It was a bit...

    Buying a synergy unit and maf

    Well that has stopped me in my tracks. It turns out the torx star bolts on my maf are the normal 6 star and not the 5 star ones. This should not be a problem but I have left my torx set up in inverness so that is annoying! Note to self make sure you have all the tools before taking everything...

    Buying a synergy unit and maf

    That would be good. If it is simply a 3 way switch with a few led's inside it I can't see there being any problem in taking the switch and lights out of the case and incorporating them into one of the spare button bits on the dash. I was thinking the one below the fog lights button on the left...

    Buying a synergy unit and maf

    Well as always with the best intentions, something comes up and I still haven't had a chance to start it. I might be able to have a look at it this afternoon... My dash switch hasn't turned up yet so that will be a job for another day.

    Buying a synergy unit and maf

    I'm in the same boat as you dog man. My box and maf turned up yesterday so fingers crossed it should all be in and working today.

    maf sensor

    I have just bought the pierburg Maf off rover Ron. The info I got off him is that you can not replace the old Bosch one with the pierburg one without running it through one if his majic boxs (something to do with it being different signals) I'm no the prode owner of a new ronbox 2a and a new maf...

    Advice on the Ron box

    I have emailed him and this was his response, sounds like it should be fun to try it. Our td4 produced 171bhp & 275lbs ft torque on the dyno with a remap and RonBox2a on maximum so there is definitely more to be gained by fitting one. The performance was astounding as you would expect. I...

    Advice on the Ron box

    I have been trawling the forum and heard everyone raving about the roverron box. I had my 2001 td4 remapped about a year ago and what's diff it made! However as usual after a year I have started to dream about more power. Will fitting a ronbox on top of the remap give me any added...

    Quick question on abs sensors

    Well I hope I ordered the right one. I got the part num from a land rover dealer and they went off the vin num so fingers crossed its the right one.

    Quick question on abs sensors

    I have a 2001 freelander td4 and I have had the 3 amigos for a while. I have just had the driverside driveshaft replaced and the garage has told me it is the driverside ABS sensor causing my three friends. I have been on eBay looking for a new sensor but there appears to be a couple of...

    Engine management light

    Well the damage has been done and the bill is paid. He has fitted a new pressure sensor and the new wiring loom, they are all genuin landrover parts that he has used aswel. That came to over £300 and the rest of it was for the diagnostics and labour. It's a bit of a hit to the old wallet but...

    Engine management light

    I have had a look for the part myself and I could only find the upgraded one. Landrover don't do the old one any more and the cheapest I found it was £250 for the parts. I have read up on hear about doing it myself but everyone has said you should be competent working on car electrics and that...

    Engine management light

    Well I has been into the landy specialist and they have had on the diagnostics machine. It came up with two fault codes. The first one was saying that the fuel rail pressure sensor wiring loom was at fault. They told me that it would £410 for the part and the labor to fit it (it is the upgraded...

    Engine management light

    On my drive to work this morning the engine became very juttery, cut out and the EML came on. I stripped the fuel rail pressor sensor out and gave it a clean, the engine started first time. My problem is the engine warning light has stayed on. Is there any way of self testing (I have read...

    Egr Blanking Mod

    I have recently done this mod and it was all working fine. However when I turn the engine off now there is a weird humming noise. I think it is the EGR vacuum hose drawing in air past the screw I have put in there. I can live with the noise, I just want to know that the air getting in...
