UPDATE: Tonight I installed a new (well second hand from e-bay) genuine BOSCH MAF and I have now been able to clear the fault. That's good news as it would imply that I don't have a wiring fault. However - when I read live data the MAF reading is now circa 2,000 - 2,100 mg/strk - this doesn't...

Are you sure that you need to? I.e. have you calculated that to achieve the power you are aiming get that the factory nozzles can’t deliver? There is no point in upgrading the injectors otherwise.

If you are looking at the FL2 - there wasn't a 1.8 petrol as the supply of that engine dried up when Rover folded in 2005. There was a 3.2 petrol but they're not very common.

Long cranking is often the result of slow building of the fuel pressure. Do you get a large puff of smoke when starting? If so check glowplugs. If not check over HP fuel pump, seals and regulator (as has already been suggested) - also do a leak back test on the injectors. If one is...

That's my thinking too... I've ordered another MAF to try and I will go with GrumpyGel's suggestion and disconnect it so see if it changes the values at idle. If I still get the error then I guess it's multimeter out time to check wiring back to the ECU. It is recording the inlet air...

....and not HID.

Thanks Arctic2 - that it most useful and appreciated. FYI I am used to using diagnostics at a detailed level to diagnose and fix diesel engines but the majority of my experience is with Volvo cars using their VIDA system - so whilst I know the basic principles, I'm learning with the Hawkeye...

Evening all... So the Hawkeye Total arrived today :-) To recap - have a Facelift Freelander TD4 Commercial bought as a project. Starts and ticks over just fine, but hold it at say 2,300 rpm it misfires a bit with smoke and diesel smell. Has error code P0100 - Mass Airflow Sensor Short...

Have tonight ordered Hawkeye Total... I'll let you know how it goes...

The only way to get more light output from a normal bulb is to run the filament hotter and that means a shorter life. If you read the packaging on the Osram Nightbreaker it does say they have only 50% of the life expectancy of the standard lamps. However in my experience this is still much...

Thanks Mr Hippo - just had a look on tinternet and the Hawkeye Total is only a few pence more than the older unit, so I think that's where I'm going to go. As you say, when I've done with it I reckon it will ebay for 80% of the new cost if I look after it...

I've been looking at the iCarsoft kit - apparently they have just released a new Land Rover/Jag specific unit called the LR1, but continue to sell the i930 badged as a Terrafirma unit? Its one third for the price of Hawkeye, I have a manual car so don't need TCM access. But you usually get what...

Evening all, I have a July 2004 facelift Freelander Commercial which I bought as a project a year ago and I've just got around to it (now I've finished welding my Disco...) Anyhow it has a few issues and I want to get a OBD something where I can read the engine sensors (fuel pressure, MAF, MAP...

I believe that is correct - but surely same applies for any spotlight bracket, light bar or winch bumper?

I'm joining this thread a bit late but I'm looking at LED lightbars. Apologies if someone has mentioned this already but most LED gear of any sort sold on e-bay is usually grossly exaggerated (I'm sure that's a huge surprise to no-one). This summer I had a project on and I was buying 12v 10watt...

Ouch..... I've just bought a second hand handle off eBay for my project. The number plate lamp is just two bulbs that push and twist into a pcb which has the troublesome spade connectors on -as I'm sure you will have seen. I'm tempted to replace mine with some sort of Leds from eBay and solder...

Thanks I'll have a good read of that. I did only pay £500 for the car so I think I've got a bargain. I was looking at another "spares repair" Commercial on e-bay at the time which was pre-facelift, higher mileage and described as having a failed rear diff. It made £598 on e-bay so this one...

Thanks for that. No air on but does have heated seats.....

Have you replaced a twin filament bulb (stop and tail) with a single filament? This usually shorts out the brake light and position lamp circuits.

I think that's unfair to most bodgers out there..... I would be glad if it's not a Sport spec as I gather some were lowered. This will be going off road... Still a good buy I think. Replacement handle already ordered, must be a common problem as they're not plentiful or cheap on e-bay. Body...
