It's probably worth getting the injector balance checked using suitable diagnostic equipment.
An injector that's not firing correctly will cause an imbalance, most noticeable at idle.
If you decide to clean the MAP sensor it's just wipe clean with a rag, the throttle sensor use only electrical contact cleaner do not touch the heat centre, for the MAF i would not touch as sometimes it can make it worse.

Arctic, re cleaning the various sensors mentioned above, is it simply a case of removing, cleaning and then replacing the various sensors or will I need to also reset any fault codes/similar using a diagnostic tool?
First time I've looked at...
There was a Mann filter in my07 Freelander when i first bought it back in 2017 and it ran ok until 2020 after that i used the above ones as i have two FL2 MY07 and MY14

I would be careful trying to clean the MAF sensor as most of the...
Thanks Arctic, this is all really useful (especially the pictures). In relation to the diagnostic tool, I'm wanting to keep this car for the foreseeable and want to ideally get to a point where I can begin working on it myself, or atleast become...
Thanks Arctic. The fuel filter was changed at the last service (28/02/2025) and used the correct filter. Based on other service items used by the garage (such as the air filter) I'd hazard a guess that it is a MANN filter, although I can check...
Hi all, I've noticed over the past few weeks that when I'm sat in idle for, say, at least 5 minutes (typically before a gym class with the heated seats on), the engine seems to, on occasion, have a rhythmic idle and a very minor judder which can...
Thanks for this. The cars in the garage at the moment with a view to getting looked over tomorrow. The only picture I have is the attached. At the bottom of the engine bay it appears that the intercooler hose has a gash (fabric protruding...

The plastic attached to it routes down to the intercooler hose at the bottom.

Thanks, I've had a look around the Internet and landed on the same conclusion, it's awfully loud on the drivers side when accelerating and seems to be the same part as schematics that I've seen. Apparently it's a regular issue...
Thanks for...
There's one that runs across the front, at the bottom of the engine just below radiator. That's the intercooler hose. You should see in going into cooler on drivers side.
Thanks for this. Had a nosy at those parts and can't see or feel any tears. I think it may be the intercooler hose. Just taken it back out for a drive and at 2500 revs the whistling is super loud on the drivers side. At the picture above, there's...
Just had the car serviced this Friday. Today I took it for a trip to my parents and about 40 minutes in I received a reduced performance warning. I stopped, turned off the car, turned it back on and now it's gone. Now throughout the journey, the...
