Hello guys So I have been busy doing some mods on my Freelander L series. 2 days a go just changed the Fuel Injection Pump (FIP), the original is going to get an 11mm piston, in the meanwhile, the Freelander is every day use car so I have mounted a Rover 220 SDI FIP on it, the FIP was rebuild...

Hi Can you please tell me what is the Bosch part number on the injectors that you fitted on your L series Freelander? Thank you

Ok. Thanks. I now have a spare original Freelander pilot injector and I am going to swap the nozzle from the Rover 45, hope it works... However, in lack of Rover injectors, are there any other ones that are compatible? Like VW group? The ones of the 1.9 TDI 110 PS or from the Audi Allroad 2.5...

Hello all I have a 2000 L Series Freelander and I am thinking of building my own VP37 fuel injection pump. basicly I'm going to use the hippo original pump and fit the 11mm head from a Rover 220 SDI, does anyone have a good feedback on this mod? Thanks in advance.

Hello all. I have 2000 L Series stock Freelander and I want to extract some more power from the engine. Recently I bought some used Rover 45 set of 4 injectors, they give some more 15 to 20 bar than the Freelander originals. I have cleaned the injectors, tested the pressure and they were OK...

It looks really good. Today I was trying to assemble my console and I felt that it was scraping the original bracket... I think I will try to get a bracket from a TD4... If not, your solution is the best!

I am not sure, but I think it is under 20 seconds...

After some tests, I believe that I am satisfied with my Freelander VCU beaviour, 160 cc of 100.000 cst silicone oil and it is very satisfactory both on the road and off road, tried some axle crossing and the Freelander just overtook the obstacle!

That's pretty cool, but, doesn't the console ashtray sits on the bracket?

Thank you!

Hello Is it possible to tell me what is the part number of the rear bracket that secures the console? I'm doing the same to my XEDI Freelander here in Portugal, I have every bits, except the bracket... Thanks in advance

Ok mate. Thank you.

Very cool. I have read a post of @jonaf about the 12,500 cst. As I only have 120 ml, tomorrow I will try to inject some more 30 or 40 ml and then put the wheels spinning on a workshop ramp (elevator) and see if the VCU "locks"

Thumbs up man :) Really great post. In the meanwille I will try different grades of silicone oil, next try will be on 30,000 cst, if the beauvior is not of satisfaction, I will try higher. The quantity of 150 ml is the same for all the grades?

Ok. That is really cool :) And on tarmac on small manouvres did you feel any drag, like when the VCU is completely seized? I ask this because I am testing different grades of silicone oil to see what is the best for an everyday use and some ocasional greenlaning.

Thanks a bunch! What is the beaviour of your Freelander? Does it "lock" when front loses traction? As I see from your DIY I am using low grade silicone oil and also small quantity...

Yeah, I know it is not an easy task, I already created a machine to clean the VCU with a TD5 fuel pump...

lol But... Can you give me an hint? A link... of where to buy such fluid? I have a group of friends that also own Freelanders and I am trying to help them to restore te 4x4 abbilities, I'm using my Freelande as pacient 0, after I get it rigth I can help them in "pro bono"

Hi! I have read that silicone oil is the one to put on the VCU. Am I wrong? Thanks
