    Then do it & report the result.

    A new Freelander is coming, apparently.

    Google AI finds a few different cars that used the same name !! This one is no different. I'm sure there's others?

    My crazy diff ratio change idea

    FYI, I stopped commenting about fuel once you made that clear. My other posts were about the energy required to keep the car moving. In principle agreeing with your theory about less engine wear, but the oil pressure question at lower RPM is still open. If it's sufficient then yes the...

    Freelander 1 New-to-me FL1 TD4 2006 - smoke on startup and doesn't get up to temp

    Yes back-probed the connector, and did continuity tests on the wiring, plus checked voltages at the ECU end.

    Freelander 1 New-to-me FL1 TD4 2006 - smoke on startup and doesn't get up to temp

    Having gone through similar recently, I suspect we have the same issue with injectors. In my case the low temp was solved with a new thermostat - PITA but done. Our 2004 FL1 was smokey all the time, so did all the following: Checked & cleaned all sensors. Tested & checked fuel rail sensor...

    Proposal for documenting the official repair manual (discussion paper)

    There's already a place for it. Yes it needs sanitizing to remove the non-informational posts, but most stuff it there.

    P38A GEMS signal for ok to start.

    Can't remember if you said you have a Nanocom or not ? If you do, then it should be easy do get the GEMS how you need it, before building the other vehicle.

    In which order should I proceed for the repairs ??

    That looks like the flywheel teeth for the starter ? Others may correct me, but in there should be clean & dry.

    P38A GEMS signal for ok to start.

    The AS10 is the alarm & fob decoder, etc for car that use it. It has to do the same job as the BECM does with GEMS. Looking at the Nanocom guide for it, it appears to have better accessibility to the features including the GEMS Immob code. If your widget is from Simon, it appears to do the...

    P38 THOR V8 Air suspension schematics

    Remember they tend to leak under the folds, so do the soapy water check at various heights. For the schrader valves, although I don't use them much, I did when rebuilding my engine a while back just raise & lower the car manually. One thing I found it was it was easier by putting a tee into...

    P38A GEMS signal for ok to start.

    Unfortunately the P38 Nanocom doesn't show the GEMS immobilisation code, so it's probaby gotta be a bench job. The Nanocom has the Lucas AS10 option for cars that use it, which appears to show the code, but it would need someone with an AS10 & Nanocom to confirm if it rolls & by what amount ...

    P38 THOR V8 Air suspension schematics

    More likely the opposite airbag lifted a bit with whatever air was left in it. There's no crosslink valves on a P38. All four airlines go directly to the valve block. There's a known issue caused by leaking exhaust that melts the rear lines, but if you can raise the car on the schrader...

    I do also wonder, if the diffs are that rusty, what are sills & arches like under all the plastic bits !!

    Valve Block rebuild

    Sounds like the ECU is forgetting what height you last set it to. With the height lock switch on, it should remain at the last height after switch off & when switching on & starting. Does it have the standard timer relay or the 4-pin fudge to prevent self-leveling ? FYI I found a bug in the...

    My crazy diff ratio change idea

    Time we opened a book on this. My odds on anyone on LZ knowing the answer to this exact question..... 1000 to 1. I reckon 157,213 to 1 assuming only one member knows the answer, and the OP will know one day. Or should that be 157,214 to 2 ❓
