Sounds good Gary, just be careful about the extra seats - they need to be declared to your insurance company and to the DVLA.

I was in your situation a while back and went for a TD4, it was a right dodgy vehicle and had been clocked, complete with a made up service history. It went back to the dealer and I took a bit longer to think about what to do. During that time I saved an additional grand(ish) and bought a much...

Less of a drain than if you have roof bars left fitted when not using them... Trouble is as a normal road user it is tricky to work it out as you never have the same road/traffic conditions twice.

Interesting, so if you modify a car, say as a boy racer with a big bore exhaust, declare it to your insurance company and still passes the current MOT for noise/emission etc. it could still become illegal because the car has changed from the factory spec. Suddenly many tyre companies, exhaust...

I've done exactly the same as Jodsclass, same new tyres and old tyres. Really impressed and give reasonable grip off road too. Nexen were not quiet tyres!

How can it be illegal? Is it to do with the type approval being changed by making a change? If so using anything not OE would/could come under this. They'd have to work hard to find where my Synergy2 has been hidden!

Well I fitted a Synergy 2 as advised by you good people. Wow, I truly am amazed. So much smoother, faster, more umph from lower revs - all good stuff, I have it at max setting right now but will turn it down a bit for regular use. Surprised and impressed. Thinking about changing the MAF and...

Yes I do, as I mentioned and whenever needed. Not for probably a month but prior to that it was a lot, both on and off road. Huh? How? I was saying , tongue in cheek, that the ERD training (EFAD shouldn't exist any more!) was more about getting there, because of how the the defenders handle...

You have very low expectations about what is a good road vehicle then. don't you. Granted we carry a large tank of water and a pump but they wallow, don't track straight (i.e. follow the slightest camber), roll terribly, brakes are crap, luckily they are slow. Blue light training is more about...

I recently bought a 2002 TD4 5 door and really like it, my boss has 3 defenders (90's) including the 2008 60th anniversary edition with a remapped transit engine, I also drive a defender Hi-cap for my other job (retained fire fighter), they are awful, awful road cars, possibly the worst road...

I've read lots about the Roveron/synergy 2 box - but thought a remap was the better option. Happy to be wrong as the Synergy is cheaper but is it the best option?

Hi All, Looking to get my new (to me) TD4 (2002) remapped, give a bit more go. I've searched the forum(s) and several companies keep coming up, one being dynachip, now I've spoken to the chap there I'm pretty sure I'll get him to do the work after payday but just wanted to ask the experts -...

Sorry Hippo, missed your post. Yes, reported to trading standards and Police prior to speaking with the dealer to get advice. Police not too interested but trading standards were. I say were but the vehicle is still for sale with the dealer (although he may have relocated elsewhere in the...

Thanks, worst part of the whole thing for me was that I've bought loads of cars without a badun, I guess I became too cocky! I've been using this forum and another Land Rover forum to learn lots about these prior to buying, even more so since the mistake of the first purchase - so thanks to all...

Hi All, I've just bought my 2nd Freelander in a month, this time I've got a goodun (I hope!). But to anyone looking for a Freelander be warned, a dealer just out side Maidenhead (trading as JP Motors or 4x4 ) has a 2001/Y (Y97 JFO) TD4 5 door in bright blue for £2795 or there abouts. States...
