    Heated seat switches

    I bought new switches from a Land Rover dealer when fitting heated seats to my facelift Freelander, about £16 each iirc

    help with my 05 freelander 1.8 litre petrol

    Does the engine run fine until its warm? if so it could be the IACV - Idle air control valve playing up, it allows extra air into the engine when cold but closes as the engine warms, if it fails in the open position then the car can run rough and cut out.

    1.8 vs td4

    I have both a TD4 and an older 1.8 XEi, for the limited mileage the OP is wanting to do I would go for the 1.8 - well I did when I wanted a cheap winter runabout 2 years ago and its been brilliant and reliable but, if it goes wrong, I can fix it myself. The TD4 is more reliable but if it goes...

    Newbie - Freeelander 1.8 HGF

    Was this diagnosed by the AA/RAC or similar? as they often get it totally wrong

    Exhaust rasp

    Not got a rasp on mine, was going to suggest the cat but you have eliminated that, might just be a fault inside - I remember on a car I had years ago the previous owner had fitted a bosal exhaust and where the 2 downpipes were 'squeezed' into one, it caused a horrible rasp.

    1.8k wont start after engine swap

    Just what I was thinking, if so it will need the VVC loom and ECU to run. Easy way to check is does it have the plastic inlet manifold like your original or the metal one?

    ECU Remapping 1.8 Freelander

    What age is your Freelander 1.8? it needs to be MEMS 3 ECU (with coil packs) to enable it to be re-mapped. Best people to contact are Z and F tuning Click They are well recommended on the MG Forum and these guys wrote the original map for MG/Rover

    New Front Brakes

    My 1998 Freelanders disc back plates started to rust badly and bits of it were starting to rub against the disc, I just cut them off and the brakes are fine without the back plates.

    Another annoying bump

    I had something similar on my 1.8 when I first got it and traced the fault to the exhaust downpipe bracket not being attached to the sump, 2 bolts screwed in and all was well, not sure if the TD4 has a different exhaust mounting system though

    Changing interior

    I did the same with our TD4 and just plugged seats and switches in and everything worked perfectly - heated seats are great :) Oh - side steps still going strong on my 1.8 - thanks again :)
