    rear tyre wear

    I am sure rear toe in toe out is adjustable just like the front tracking as commonly known.Get a 4 wheel alignment done can be pricey but tyres are not cheap

    Fbh

    The fbh is there and would rather have it working as it should because belive it or not every thing else on the car works properly and it dont leak.Ill put the missing fuse back in and after that the fuel pump sounds a good place to start cheers

    Rocker Cover Gasket

    Hi, engine breather definately worth doing should be done every service in my opinion. Rocker cover gasket should be straight forward but will take a while. Remove Injector pipework take injectors out and hope none are stuck then remove inlet manifold clean inside while its off ,and then you...

    MAF sensor

    WHY CAN'T I LEAVE THE MAF UNPLUGGED? Some owners have been advised that its okay to just leave the maf unplugged. This is not a good idea for the the following reasons: a) Not only is there no air flow measurement, but no intake air temp sensing either so the ecu defaults to -5C. This...

    MAF sensor

    My understanding of a pieburg is they dont work right on a standard car (I could be wrong), you need a box o tricks from rover ron, give them a ring apparently they know what their talking about and I will certainly be talking to them when I return from my jollys Tuning-diesels for cheaper...

    Freelander Td4 Turbo RPM

    I had the same problem with mine after fitting a used 28000 mile engine. Fitted the maf from my old engine, pulls from low down now, sorry not sure on revs though. Try unplugging it you should notice the difference if the maf is on its way out.
