An "H" tire allows you to do 210 km/h (130 mph). Since the top speed of the Freelander 2 is only 200 (petrol) or 181 (diesel), you should be fine. Personally, I'd replace them all, just to be sure. It's the only thing connecting your big vehicle to the road, so they're very important for your...

You can order it here for 2.40 pound EGR Solenoid Control Valve Filter at www.rimmerbros.co.uk These guys ship to Belgium (at least they ship to Holland). It's probably even cheaper to have it shipped over from the UK than to buy at the dealership in Belgium. At least, for most parts it...

I did search. Best answer I came across was this link (with pictures and all). I'm sure there are some fine posts on this forum as well, but this was the easiest for me to link to.

The engine is a BMW M47 engine. This might help the BMW engineers next time. But I wouldn't go to a BMW dealer for parts for your Freelander. Not everything is exactly the same. A regular Land Rover dealer should have the right parts (and probably costs less)... I think in Dutch it's just...

Computer translation always sucks. :P Just give me a shout if you need some translation... ;)

Info about how to test your VCU can be found here: VCU check - Http://freelandertech.info/ Fairly easy to do. :)

If you want to make it look lower, just buy some 35mm wheel spacers. You won't actually lower the car, but because the wheels are futher apart, it'll look lower.

Being helpful, right. How helpful is it when someone decided on a Freelander to keep calling the car **** and the guy an idiot time and time again? It's one thing to mention it once or twice. You guys seem to have turned it into the national championships to repeat it at every change you get...

Aren't there any L series diesels around for you? They have a better reputation... I don't know about the HGF's. A new VCU is around 350 and can be put in pretty easily if you're handy. Checking it regulary should keep you out of problems for the VCU. Also, the exhaust is prone to rusting, so...

Sean, are you really trying to deny the fact that every time the word "freelander" pops up, you're around to tell people what a bad car it is? For someone who doesn't like Freelanders you're sure busy reading and replying about them. Closet case?

People just love to bash other people's stuff. Makes them feel good about what they've got. It's the same old "mines bigger/better then yours" **** all over again...

1999 XEdi Mileage: 200k Spend so far: - Timingbelt (no problems, just timely replaced) - Front right brake got stuck on holiday. Destroyed caliper and disk -> replaced. - Front right brake stuck again. Only 10 months later. LaRo garage replaced disk, brake lines, master cilinder. Problem...

You don't need the Haynes for this, just RTFM... ;)

Don't get me wrong, that's the one I'd go for as well. (and I did). But he asked for a petrol. He's been told it wasn't the best of engine, ok. But it seems like we have a broken record here. It's coming back and again...

My point is that if you are going to put in a different engine, I'd go with something else...

Well, I can name a dozen guys who had their peugeot/citroen HDi diesel engine wrecked. But I must admit, I haven't heard anything from the LR's...

Maybe you can get a small tube in there and suck the oil out of there. There are some "pumps" you can put on a watertap for pressure. They might work...

I don't know about you, but I didn't buy my Freelander because it was the most reliable car I could find. I bought it because I liked it. The OP want a petrol Freelander and asks how he can best prevent hgf. Then you come along and tells him it not the most reliable car in the world. Great, I...

Somebody spent some time cleaning that enginecover. Could be just me, but that makes me suspicious...

Mine doesn't have back seats. It's a van conversion. But this is the max load on the licence. So if it's just 50kg, you'll probably be ok...
