    As some of you may be aware, ive worked in motorsport for many years - and I run my freelander on chip oil!! Driving down M65, 100mph @ 1.5 bar boost, mucho smoko, pulled over, switch off and........nothing happens, engine on full bore..engage clutch and force stall. Sump oil level critically...

    I found the power !!!!!

    Just fitted one of 'Rons' £55 'chip boxes'.....oh my god!!!!! Totally unbelievible, it completely transforms the car and took 10 minutes to fit!! If any of you have an L series then this is a total must! And you can turn it up and down as and when you want the extra power! Im a tad wurried about...

    Boost pressure and power

    Im stumped! Wifes standard freelander still pulls like a train through the gears, mines had a race exhaust custom built (by me!) cone filter inlet, boost @ 1.4 Bar and its still not a patch on hers? Me thinks her black box might have been tampered with!! Still, damned annoying all the same!

    Freelander Glow Plugs - HOW DIFFICULT??

    Surely there must be another way of replacing no.1 plug without removing the fuel pump - daftest thing I ever read (Mr Haynes et al !!).:mad:
