Hi all, long time no visit and that was all good for me! 130k on the clock and I have just started on a high load engine problem. Starting is a bit crap again too. Getting going is sluggish if not reluctant, and when you try giving it a bit of boot to get going more often than than not...

Right then. I have replaced lp pump, 3 injectors, glow plugs, fuel pressure sensor and overlay harness, MAF, EGR mod and BMW crankcase mod. The starting problem is still there (cold), and now it is starting to knock when under load and a vibrating when trying to maintain 70 (especially down...

HI there, anyone of you peeps got the most up to date sat nav disc for the freelander HSE factory fitted system. My father has just bought one and the map that came with it was the 2003-1 western europe, and a lot has changed since then! Any help would be appreciated Billy-g

Does anyone know if the 5 door seats will fit in a 3 door? I don't reckon that they would be that different, surely? Billy-g

My front speakers have not been working for a while now, and I have decided to fix it, finally. One question for all of the wisened of the forum, how do you remove the stereo on a facelift model? A good place to start i guessed, and fell at the first hurdle! Billy g

Right then. After my injetor leak testing, (and subsequent replacement of two) i thought I had it sussed. Then the other morning, sameas before, **** starting 5 secs to catch on, but not as much smoke as before. As in the leak test number 1 wasnt brilliant, I thought that I'd swap that out...

NOw i'm up n running again i'm after a set of side steps as part of operation "Baby on the way". I saw these Black 3 inch side bars for the Freelander but it says for 5 door. Was wondering if anyone knows why they wont go on a 3 door (I was under the impression that they were the same...

These are the results of my injector leak test. Number 4 was clearly the worst, but i was wondering if it was worth swapping out number 3 as well. I bodged the test kit together with some bits i got from work, but I was left wanting when it came to blocking the 'loose' ends. In ended up with...

When i was cleaning the carpets with my vax other day listening to Rory gallagher-i rish tour i noted that the front speakers were not going. Tweets and rear were fine. Is that because the stereo was in powersave mode? Billy g

Just thought i'd post a few piccys for replaceing plugs if anyone out there is interested. 1. Take engine 2. Remove this 3. And That 4. And inlet manifold. 5. Disconnect the plug wiring 6. the 3rd from left has poor clearance so you will find it easier to remove the backing shell from the...

Anyone out there reconditioned thier injectors themselves? i'm thinking that there cannot be too much to it as long as you can get the washers/nozzles supplied. anyone know an overhaul procedure for them? are they on RAVE? Cheers Billy g

was wondering if anyone with the three door roof rail system has ever run about with the hardback off, and how easy it was to take off with the rails fitted?

Just thought i would say hello to all of you freelander owners out there. My 53 plate facelift TD4 (91K) has just sailed through another MOT, and i love it. Gonna get on with the EGR mod, the crankcase mod and the Roverron box, and then a roof ox for all the stuff i am going to need for the...
