Wotcha, we did have a some fun playing around at Trax and Trails didn't we :D Got the bug proper now haven't you...

Good point - it might be worth looking up the max weight on those Hondas (and TVR's :D )

I've been using my aircon today and my oh my ain't the ventilation useless. It is OK if I want deep frozen knuckles but nothing of note to feet or windscreen.

I have the Carsoft i930 for my 2002 TD4 Auto. It is better than a cheapy OBD reader but not all that much. It can clear codes on some of the systems but it doesn't give all the data it could. I would (had I more money) have bought the Hawkeye. The FL2 should be more ODB compliant but some of...

If you go bigger on Centre bore you can use spigot rings (off ebay for loads of fits). If you go bigger centre bore then you could use wheels off some Ferrari, Aston Martin, Maserati and TVR. More usefully it suggests that Ford Ranger 5 bolts should fit (not that I can find any on ebay) and...

Personally I'd make sure it was properly dry. Water doesn't compress so if you leave some water inside the inlet manifold you might 'hydraulic' your engine - which is bad ;)

Awesome - does he live on Sark? :D

My drivers rear window did exactly the same a few days ago. Taking the panel off isn't too bad (I have a pre-facelift 2002). Remove the screw in the door handle (behind the bit you pull with your fingers to open the door) then the slide out the surround. Remove the two big screws in the main...

I've changed both switches to on and chosen my tune then run the engine - i.e. made the changes with the ignition etc off. The cab switch allows the system to be in 3 states - ECO1, ECO2 and whatever you chose on the ronbox in the engine bay. To enable your choice all you have to do is lift...

Freelander 2 has a different 4x4 system called Haldex, I don't think this system is as pernickety as the viscous unit in the FL1. However, general advise for any car now is to always put new tyres on the back.

Cornwall (the locals refuse to accept it is part of England and say that you cross into England when you go over the Tamar river into Devon. Some even insist it is more like Monaco, a Principality and was not incorporated into England back in 17C - funny lot these Kernewek) Sorry :-)

'tis a bit small for that! :D

There should be a small grey stub near the 2 switches. Maybe yours has fallen out I seem to remember something about that in the instructions. You just turn that from 9 o'clock (1) to let say 11 o'clock (3) etc

I suppose with most manufacturers they let the marketing munts get involved so that the exact configuration is hidden behind acronyms and made up names. I find J**p with their Quadratrak variations as well as Hydratrak etc annoying to say the least. It looks like Subaru has the same issue with...

The instructions you get with it are pretty good, I fitted mine OK. If you are not changing the MAF from Bosch to Pieburg then use 1-5. I found fitting the Ronbox pretty simple, getting the air filter housing back on a bit annoying (but then I had practice from a Rover 75 with the same...
