In all seriousness, I’ve found that eggs work well near to decoys too.

Which is it 😵‍💫?

Not many ejoke owners on here. As a start, you could try disconnecting the MAF and clearing the codes, see if they return. The ECU should use a default setting (I think), which will prove/disprove the sensor. Or burn it 🤪

The OP is welcome to borrow some of my decoys. Crows tend to complete ignore them, too 🤪

Yes. Or for the protection of certain wild birds. Hence the slightly tongue-in-cheek “stick some rape or fruit tress next to it”. 🙄

Hmm, yes, it just played up for me. Their landing page is here, or just go to eurosubframes.com https://eurosubframes.com/pages/product-result

This is where I got mine from. Looks like they are a bit cheaper at the moment… (they’ve never been the ‘full’ price!) https://eurosubframes.com/pages/product-result?rq=yr_2009~mk_landrover~md_freelander-2~jx_rear-subframe

They won’t be cheap (not silly expensive), but they certainly know their Freelanders, and will 100% be able to sort yours if it’s not something you want to tackle yourself. Sue and Norbert are great guys… and say hello to the dogs!

1) Yes, I replaced my rear subframe last autumn with a brand new one. Did it myself, on my drive. Everything else under the car was fine, no welding required. I bought all the suspension arms (with bushes) along with the subframe. The frame and arms was £500 delivered. 2) Not as much.

Do they like skittles then? Not sure feeding them will help. 🤪

Oh yeah - I forgot we had to ignore this. Sorry. Will try harder.

How’s your ‘ignore’ thread going? 😁

That’ll be a great buy for someone 👍

You can legally take crow and magpie under General Licence. Just stick a bit of rape or some fruit trees next to it 😉

Does it only happen as you brim it, or every time, even if not filled to maximum?

Have a chat with these guys - not too far from you. https://www.freelanderspecialist.com/category/freelander-2 You’d certainly be able to take it there and they would have a quick look and advise you if it’s worth doing. I’ve used them a couple of times - not the cheapest, but excellent...

Air lock?

Yep - overfilled is not good. I aim to keep mine between half and three-quarters

Give it a good run - stick some tunes on and use the air-con. You’ll enjoy it and so will yer FL!

A (good) railway sleeper , cut into 4, works really well for some quick ground clearance. Just drive that baby right on up for an instant 4” lift … 😉 Of course, elf n safety dictates that I should say “place your axle stands when stopped, for added protection”, ‘cos railway sleepers have a...
