    td4 egr valve

    hi kenners - check out my rather amateurishly titled 'blue pipe' thread - that covers it. FYI a guy from LR Technical Support suggested that I just unplugged it and left alone - seems to have had some effect on the low down grunt but not a great deal to be honest

    engine upgrade poll

    You guys who are fitting one of Rons boxes this weeked - I would really like to see the look on your faces when you first drive it after it is fitted. I went completely against the advise in the instructions and turned the wick right up to #7 for my first run :D :D

    Td4, is it worth getting?

    Yasou Firelord! Just into my 3rd month with a TD4Auto and I really love it - only drawback I can find is the MPG but hey! - fuel economy wasn't on top of my list when I bought it. I went for the auto because I do a fair amount of mile per year and like to be comfortable round town (I have...

    Tuning box

    yeah I should have tried that one (altho my work may well be soon running a fleet of 10 freebifters and then I will be going cap in hand to Ron) With regards to ease of fitting Tash - once you have fitted one then it really is a piece of cake, if you are pretty dextrous then it can be done...

    Rattling/sound proofing 3 Door

    I have to agree with Ming - I came from a Renault Scenic to the Freebifter and I found it quieter that the Renault. Its not unbearable with the softtop on to be honest - any other mods done to it?? - bigger wheels / tyres that may be causing road-roar?

    blue pipe

    Spotted a small oil eak the other day so I called LR Assist out and the guy came and sorted out what he says was a blocked breather. While he was there we got chatting about tuning etc and I showed him Rons box (had taken it off prior to calling them) - he said that there had been no reason to...

    Brake mods.

    The brakes on mine have never inspired much confidence - I even got LR Assist to come out and have a look - the guy drove it round the block with me and basically said , 'thats what they are all like mate'. Dont get me wrong, it stops OK, there is just very little feedback through the pedal -...

    Alarm

    have you had the hard top off recently??? there is a micro switch halfway up the offside post where the hard top meets the body (offside I think) - other m/s are obviously doors, tailgate and under the bonnet

    Rear window roof switch

    worth it?? depends what you are looking for I guess - I managed to get mine off ebay for £175 so I can't complain at the price, its worth bearing in mind that it will only open up the back end of the car and it is not like a true cabriolet tho'. Even rear passengers will be more or less covered...

    Funny Rattle???

    Hey Grunt - I am sure that when you posted this that there was an element of humour that you could see in your post. Do you not think that there may be some wisdom in checking out whether this is somebody completely new to the forum looking for advise? If this were the response to my first...

    Instrument Illumination

    Hi Graham You beat me to it! I was going to ask exactly the same question - there seems to be no way of adjusting the clock illumination on my new Freestyle either - also, what does the left hand black button on the speedo do???? The right hand resets the odometer but I cant see what the...
