Would it not just be a case of shorting a micro switch wires together? There must be a switch of some kind on the handle/door catch. The wires would need either shorting if the circuit is normally closed when the door is shut, or seperate them and insulate them if the circuit is normally open...

Took her down to the dealers to order the front ARB drop links and ARB bushes. Also ordered some cleaning bits and bobs ready for her first ever (most likely) proper detail.

Scangauge E fits quite well.

The OEM Thermostat normally fails open, so your temperature gauge will not rise to the centre of the gauge as the water is constantly circulating through the radiator. You can completely ignore the OEM stat if it's failed open, and do the mod.

So the Diesel Rhino turn't up yesterday. I've started the triple dose tonight. Not expecting much until at least the first half of the tank has gone through, but I'll keep the thread updated.

Stealth CAT. Full decat on the inside, looks just like a CAT on the outside.

After trying Carb cleaner, then soaking in Gunk, I broke out the pressure washer, connected it to the hot tap and hey presto, one very clean manifold.

Can I ask, what brand of bearings come fitted?

Thanks I enjoy getting my hands dirty, I get the feeling they will be dirty quite often. In other news, my MPG has gone up by 1.6 MPG. I'll try cleaning the injectors with some Diesel Rhino to improve the MPG further, however I've got the feeling I'll be changing the injectors...

Looking at the date of the posts, I'd hope he's fixed it by now!

After work this morning I thought I'd have a bash as the EGR blank and fitting the Gates thermostat. Coming apart nicely.... Now I knew the EGR was dirty, but jeez.... Offending item.... I started the clean up process. Sprayed the best part of a...

89 degree opening is the correct stat.

You'll not need drilled/grooved discs on a Freelander (unless you plan on high speed driving?). They would be just for show. Get OEM discs, uprated pads and new brake fluid, job done. Cheap drilled/grooved discs should be avoided. The drilling/milling can weaken the disc if not done right...

Funny, mine was sent yesterday and arrived today

Buy yourself a code reader (£20 cheapie will do). Although you might not have a fault code stored, it's a tool well worth having when living with tempremental cars.

Double half it's length. Anyway, 400-450 is what I've seen so far. That's with mixed A/B roads on my daily commute (26miles each way). Very little town driving, but quite a few junctions to stop at.

No longer be bound by the passing of time :D Nah, I'm changing the headunit in the coming months. There's a clock on the display. Full details here: ScanGaugeE : Linear Logic - Home of the ScanGauge
