Changed mine back today, good job really as 1 of the fronts was nearly down to the legal limit.

We dropped the 'league' in the early nineties, its just Cats Protection now. I think I'll bin the cat when I get my stainless steel system made.

Just a quick update, the freedee is back up and running now:bounce:. Booboodag thanks for the location advice for the pump, I removed it, put it on the bench and connected 12v and away it went, pumping like a good'un so I fitted it back on thinking something else must be wrong. I turned the...

No, Is the burnt out relay the fuel pump relay? or is the pump just US?

I did not explain myself very well in the first post, it will fire with easy start but not continue running. I did not know mine did not have an in-tank pump either.

My 2003 facelift TD4 would not start today. It will run with easystart sprayed into the air intake. The in-tank pump does not prime when the key is turned. I also found a relay that is burnt out and melted it's holder. The relay is on the bulkhead (just above the red fuel cut-off) and is covered...

I have a set of facelift 5 door black seats that are free to a good home. (front and rear)

I think they look alright painted, this is my first FL when I had all the grey plastic painted.

I tow an Abbey GTS, 20.5 foot long and about 1100 Kg with a manual TD4 and have no problems. Keeping ahead of the trucks is effortless. I've done all the usual stuff, egr bypass, pcv upgrade, silicone hoses and a damn good service.

I agree totally. The only time I really have to think about what side of the road should I be on is the first morning of being there, after that it just seems natural. I've just come back from 10 days of touring the battlefields of the 2 wars and the FL performed lovely (even with 10 litres of...

There seems to be a theme going on here for as when I got my Freelander it had 2x Sunny and 2x Nankang tyres. The Sunnys looked the newest (more tread) so I took off the Nankangs and fitted a pair of Sunnys. I know a lot of guys on here give Sunnys a hard time but I came up thru France yesterday...

For me it was simple, I was involved with the car from the first maestro van prototypes right upto current FL2 production. For me I think they drive nice, look nice, have the right amount of on/off road capability split, OK they have a few issues but what car does not. My 1st FL 1.8 I had upto...

Our driving styles are very similar as I drive class 1 so everything is about forward planning the only difference is my top end is 65/70 and I know once you start getting above 70 the economy is not too good.

Wow, thats good. Mines a 2003 facelift as well and I've done the egr bypass, vortex pcv mod, I use millers ecomax in every tank and just had a full service and my last 2 tanks have been in the 38's

I've just come back from a trip to cornwall and got to 496 miles before I lost my bottle and filled up. The mpg worked out at 38.2 (no motorway but lots of dual carrigeway at a steady 70)
