The Facelifted freelander was improved in a number of ways. Obviously there are the visual changes to the headlights, front and rear bumpers etc. The interior trim and seats have been improoved. The BMW TD4 engine was used some time ago and is a pretty good engine. Problem is, all the other...

Fuel Burning Heater. Under an ambient temperature of 4 Deg C (I think) the FBH kicks in to warm up the engine quicker and provide warm air within the cabin quicker. The system takes a very small amount of diesel fuel from the system and , as the name suggests, burns it to produce heat...

It was raining too much to get the camera out or indeed the water was too deep to get out of the car to take a picture.

Went through some deep water. Nuff Said.

Im still on the original MAF but fitted the Synergy 2 knowing I can put the other MAF when I can get round to it. Currently got it set on 10 with the dash mounted switch on green. Car goesc really well but I have noticed a little black smoke every now and again. May drop down the number a...

go to Tuning-diesels for cheaper diesel tuning.. All the info you need is there.

Very easy to fit. The hardest part is removing the air filter cover. I purchased a flexi extension for the socket set (i'm sure there is a better name for it) to undo the three cap head screws at the back of the air box. Then to fit the Synergy 2 you just plug a two connectors into the car...

I think the Rover Ron Synergy 2 Unit is well worth the (aprox) £200 for the kit. Made a huge difference.

I have the same problem but mine sometimes works. It was suggested to me that all the connections up to the GPS reciever are checked. If you didnt know, the reciever is the little bulbous bit at the base of the arial on the roof. I have not been able to find a solution but I was a little...

Well, I would hardly call the sub "f='#ing great big". Its a 6 inch speaker. The black box is only a cover to protect the speaker. Nothing else in the box But yes the black box is a sub-woofer (assuming it is Harmon Kardon). The amp is under the passenger seat.

Its all well it only being two tanks of fuel difference but we shouldnt be paying that. I can perfectly accept any new vehicle should have to pay for the extra tax, after all, you have that choice, 'buy a new car, you know what the score is.' But when you buy a vehicle and your asset is...

Those rock sliders look nice bu since the sills are already beaten up a bit, I just need something to make it all look a little neater. Then just got to sort out the huge scratch/ dint from the small child on a bike without brakes that ran into the side of the car as I was driving home the...

Hi Guys, Done a search because I know its been addressed earlier but cant seem to find anything. Anybody got a name, address, website for a company that produces sill covers/ protectionfor the freelander sills. Took the car off road and the sills took a bit of a bashing I'm thinking that I...

FBH only kicks in when the temperature drops below 5 deg c (I think). Its a great peice of kit taking a small amount of fuel and burning it in a heater hense fbh (sirry couldnt resist). The fbh warms the engine water jacket and as a result, also produces warm air into the cabin long before...

Thanks guys

Two weeks ago I was cleaning and re-oiling my air filter on my TD4 Frelander. I noticed the half round rubber hose connecting to the EGR Valve, some of plastic air pipework and the big rubber hose with the alloy valve/ sensor thing mid way, both along the front of the engine (sorry, probably...

Wow what a difference that little box of tricks makes. Fitted the box without any problems. Took quite a bit longer to route the remote switch through the bulkhead. And its made a huge difference the the performance. Got the box set on 10 at the moment but may tone it down a little...

Hi Graham, Got the Synergy 2 today. Hopefully going to fit it tonight (weather permitting). Ive got a quick question for you. The instructions talk about the intake air temperature sensor cable which I have identified in the Synergy 2 loom. But where did you install that sensor. Im sat...

Perhaps its now just a happy Freelander and whistling a happy tune! Just waiting for my Synergy 2 to turn up sometime this week and hopefully I too will be whistling. So what do you think Graham, is the synergy 2 really worth it? I have been umming and ahhing for months and finally...

Thanks for that. Tried it this morning and everything fine. There is nothing worse than intermittent faults. Andy
