I'm just a few days from being able to drive this, though I don't like a noise coming from the transmission. Anyone got any ideas where to get modified car insurance for this? I tried Greenlight insurance but they wouldn't even give us a quote.

Are you looking for something that just does the engine ECU? or do you want to spend a bit more and get complete vehicle coverage? The one that I sell covers almost every ECU on a Freelander 1 and I'm UK based. More details here...

Yes it is changing. 12v in P or N, 0V in other positions. I was probing with a voltmeter in the wrong place.

looking at live data from the Immo, there is a parameter called "In gear" It isn't changing whatever I do with the gear selector. I think they must be coded to manual or auto.

Doh, I was probing on the wrong side of the inhibitor switch. When I probe on C0067-7 I'm getting 12V in P or N, and 0v in any other position, but the immo is still ignoring that and letting me start in any gear

changed to Fuse 6 on my 2004 wiring diagram, which is actually how I wired it:-

The circuit diagram says Fuse 35 to header 0292 to the inhibit switch to C0067-7 behind the radio to the immo

I'm pretty happy with this:-

I just had ten minutes spare to check this. I put a voltmeter on the white wire that you mentioned and ignition off it's 0V and ignition on it's 12V, irrespective of where the gear lever is. So I have messed up something. The immo and key chip is unmodified, present, and it's the original K...

I haven't reported on progress for a while. I have been mad busy making progress....... The exhaust is now extended, on and seems to work well. The cooling system is now finished, but I have a leak somewhere on the back of the engine. I'm suspecting that the metal cross pipe to the water pump...

A lecture (can watch on the internet) on EVs at 4pm Belgium time https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4971-converting-an-07-car-to-an-rc-ev-using-open-source-software/

there is a Raspberry Pi version. You can get small touch screens. Furious Driving make one and did a youtube video about it. Last time I checked it worked on an old Asus eeepc as well. I did get Linux running on a pretty cheap prototype RK3566 8" tablet but then the PineTab2 came out so I...

sorry that was wrong, it's Engine ECU, Jatco, ABS, cruise control, instrument cluster.

no the CANbus goes from the engine ECU, to Jatco transmission ECU (if fitted), to the ABS, from memory then to the SRS and terminating in the instrument cluster. It least that's how I remember it.

Live data is also very important. Error codes tell you what the ECU thinks is the problem, but they are aren't always correct. Sometime the logic behind how an ECU decides on errors can be wrong. Live data gives you more clues. You need to be prepared to use your own intelligence. Another...

The vehicle I got the transmission (and this loom) from had had the interior already taken by someone else. Anything connected to seats or trim had already been chopped off. Fortunately for me they only took one connector that I need (to the shift solenoid lock), but I don't think it will have...

The point of any diagnostic tool is that it reduces the problem down to something manageable. For example with an airbag warning you could find the airbag ECU and trace every wire from the ECU to every airbag, looking for physical damage and checking for continuity, and you could check every...

there is a post here https://www.the-t-bar.com/forum/pscan-uk-diagnostic-tool-forum/99299-list-of-things-that-customers-have-been-promised where I have publicly stated what I have promised to people, that I have not yet done. I don't believe that it's possible to be any more transparent than this.

My T4 won't connect to the instrument cluster on our facelift Freelander 1 at all. My understanding is that there is another tool that will, and yes, my intention (so not a promise) is to make that work. Essentially, if it is possible for a diagnostic tool to do something with a Freelander...

There is a thread on diagnostics here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-diagnostics-what-actually-works.378679/ obviously, I am biased, but I do know which is the best, most comprehensive tool for them.
