    High mileage td4 engines

    230k. Original urbo. Was original injectors until last month. Original clutch also which is gonna be due along with new gearbox this year. Might do whole lot when in there do it right and once, eg all mounts, bearings, seals and so on and hopefully see if she will hit 400k. Need to weigh up if...

    Speed limiting TD4

    Honestly I find speedlimited vehicles more dangerous to drive professionally than none ones. Just get a GPS tracker and warn her about it. Lot of them will ping you when you want if over certain speeds, times, etc etc. https://www.rewiresecurity.co.uk/driver-behaviour-gps-tracking Know 2...

    Knupke, freelander 1.8 does start and fire and then dies immidiately

    Had a Mk1 1.8 early 2000 myself. Used to do same thing. What I ended up changing was fuel filter in tank, rota arm and distribution cap. Now I'm not saying either of these caused it but I changed all three at once and it solved it. When it was cranking and not starting you got a lot of petrol...

    Freelander 1 New commercial van project

    Great banter doing injectors today, between leak of pipes not sealing right and the level of gunk from the build up of leaking. Had been on the too do list for far to long. Like a new car now.

    Freelander 1 Question About Cheap tyres...I mean really cheap

    That's true. But give you an example. I used to do a lot of the tyres for America yellow school buses. You know what the difference between making them rated to yellow bus and UK hgv was, 2 inches of thin thin rubber. However this rubber went rock rock solid when boiled and is on just about...

    Freelander 1 Question About Cheap tyres...I mean really cheap

    What size are you running currently. When times where tough I'd of rather run a decent set of British made remoulds than a set of Chinese cheap crap tyres on a car. However 4x4 tyres I'd be much more careful compared to a old citroen ax...

    Freelander 1 New commercial van project

    Goodbye old English number plate and registration, hello nice new Northern Ireland 2019 reg. Had held off until 2019 knowing the mgz plates where coming out obviously with my love of the mg z cars, I have a feeling another one will find it's way onto my zt-t and rover 75 soon. With the pressed...

    Freelander 1 Spot lights & light bars

    I'm looking at making a custom rail shortly. Plan is it will be a single piece of bend tube, that comes out where the oem spot lights are. It will allow you to mount spotlights behind the bull bar (like my kangaroo bar) to protect them more in an impact or just in general. Thinking then to...

    Freelander 1 New commercial van project

    Maybe it's the speaker being flush in general just but they barely covered the "ring" but the hole looked identical to that one mind you.

    Freelander 1 New commercial van project

    Sadly yeah they are about 1/2 a cm to small to reach edge to edge in the 3 door hole which annoyed me as I thought they would be direct fit also.

    Freelander 1 New commercial van project

    Small update. Speakers blew out, finally after 17 years they had enough, and not wanting a SPL van I knew what I wanted and with the mid tyres sounding loud as it is I wanted replacement ASAP. However I wanted them to look factory and hide behind oem panels etc, I knew it would be a pain in...

    Freelander 1 Bigger tyres and rims

    I've 205 80 16 muds on mine, cleared on standard height no problems, when had 30mm wheel spacers in actually rubbed for first time and especially when I was towing a car and trailer combo. The 40mm lift kit cured that however. But with the lift I needed to trim front bumper about 10mm off...

    Headlight conversion

    I always wonder how close the freelander 2 lights are to the Mk1 size wise.

    FL2 auto mpg

    Completely agree. Only way to even get close to an accurate mpg. Trips always seem to over read many many mpg on cars especially autos now days.

    Headlight conversion

    I've been chasing companies about this for the last year. Only one to reply has been powerful UK. Hi Colin, To tool up a new headlight is very expensive - we'd be looking at about £50,000. The cheapest way to make an aftermarket headlight is similar to this listing for the Mitsubishi L200...
