evening all - anyone know the paint code or equivalent for light smokestone - is that the colour of the speaker grills on a FL1 pre facelift?
(or just the leather colour) - is 'limestone' a land rover paint code the colour?
As they do - mine...
I bet the real land rover chaps are going to love this....
I've recut the NLA baffles from air filter foam, stripped and repainted the clamping frames
not fixed yet (above) - but as below looks pretty oem once all clamped in
and back on
done...
Hi Ali - yes - i know - it was a half-joke about getting carried away.
i'm working my way through your EV thread - very impressive (all involved) - i'm strugging to comprehend how to hack the d2b protocol for aux in and keep the clock!😂
Adding a turbo has been done, there is a thread here from a few years ago.
VVC has been discussed but I think it was decided torque at lower rpm was more desirable than hp at 7k.
Muddymods is your go to for upgrades.
It's all looking good. I tell you what, your disco looks lovely. I really like seeing stock D2s now as more and more of them are seriously modded (which is fine) but it's nice to see one looking so original and mint. Cracking Porsche too!
That poprivet bloke was a bit scary, well, maybe weird rather than scary, but not seen him on here for years. Anyhow, let's hear about this resto then. The opening pic looks very promising.
i'm awaiting some air filter foam sheet to remake the scuttle vent, the clamping pieces have had a day in the deox-c and will go in again for a 2nd dip then be electrox'd and satin blacked....all without the use of pop rivets.
i've got a NOS...
The 50th, if and when we get the K-series reliable (!) will be a sunny days and camping car (thinking something like a tentbox lite 2) for the odd weekend away with my OH.
Anyhow...somewhat unusually i've started beautification, even though we...
Great - thanks ... this is my 2nd 50th, the first an L series without the plastic go faster strips, but beggars can't be choosers...
I've also got a proper Land Rover ('53 plate TD5 ES Premium - 88k and only 3 owners from new, inc me).
I've...
Have you seen my 'Mother of all projects' thread?

It might take a while to get through it. 😜

Please can you vote in my poll >>> What Freelander have you got poll
This write-up shows the steps I took to change the Viscous Coupling Unit (VCU) support bearings on my 2001 Freelander 1 v6. The front bearing failed...
Fitted a new aftermarket MAF officially 100% sorting the Freelander in this particular moment in time. EVERYTHING WORKS! recon VCU, recon injectors, new heated screen, aircon, new brake lines, new tyres, new bushes, aftermarket parking sensors...
I work around the SDR by not fixing broken bits I can live with.
The SDR monitors that there are broken bits and therefore waits for them to be fixed before breaking the next bits.
So I never have any serious problems with my Freelander ;)
Brought one home (after a 20 year break, from a 50th, not from a FL1)
I've had an 98 XDi 3dr in rioja L series, a 99 50th 3dr L-series (ex-duckworths demo), a kalahari TD4...
The 50th will keep my td5 company, but i'm tempted to just put it in...
