I've just fitted a CommonRail sensor chip with the intention of improving fuel economy...:confused: Well, it hasn't improved the economy but it has transformed the engine! Lots of low end torque so it doesn't stall during off-roading (a real problme for me moving from Discos to Freelander) and...

The Becker sat nav in the TD4 HSE (also in Disco 2 HSE) is crap. I wasted £70 on an update disc that was no different to the original one supplied. For £120 I'd suggest going out and buying a Tom Tom 1 3rd edition... it will take you right to the door.

My sub rattles the contents of the boot! Suggests there's something amiss with yours. Sorry I'm not an audio buff so can't help further.

Yeah... but they've got the same fuel cut-off valves as hippos! It would be more fun if it happened to a Disco

Took a Disco 2 out at LR Experience's Coniston Hall (Yorkshire) a couple of years ago... I've been off-roading (motor sport support) for a few years but would NEVER have dreamed have putting my Disco in some of the situations that I put theirs (on their suggestion). It made me realise I...

The ABS modulator is shared with the Disco 2. Basically there are flutter valves in it which, if you don't use HDC or ABS, jam shut after a period (it was common in 4 year old Discos that had been used solely on road) so during the test at start up the computer recognises an error, hence the...

:o Hi Sparkie, Can't remember the name of the unit (? ABS modulator), but it's got something to do with the brakes, and is shared with the Disco 2. Basically there are flutter valves in it which, if you don't use HDC or ABS, jam shut after a period (it was common in 4 year old Discos...

I've got the Becker satnav fitted (from the factory). It uses the same audio controls as other radios so should work (but may need an interface). The interface should be supplied with the unit if you've got a LR one. I don't think the Freelander delivers a speed pulse and the avg speed is...

If you've got your ventilation settings at anything with windscreen on it then the a/c is AUTOMATICALLY switched on... hence a puddle of water on the floor when you stop!

Hi there, I've got a Freelander Td4 with the pre-heater and heated front screen (does yours?). In cold weather the engine reaches running temp in less than five minutes... it's unbelieveable for a diesel, so it's well worth having it! To answer your question, you can get a separate remote...
