Engine takes ages to warm up!

It will be obvious if its running, you get smoke and a roaring sound, bite the bullet and change the sensor, they are notorious for failing. Same sensor as Rover 75 and they suffer similar problems with the fbh.

I'm not 100% sure but it seems as though I do. It does have this exhaust pipe on the N/S side of the bumper, in front of the wheel arch and behind the headlamp.

AFAIK Freelander's that don't have the FBH don't have the FBH exhaust.

Does it really sound like a jet engine?

I'm a bit of a plane nut and a student pilot when funds permit, so that would make me more keen to try and fix it I guess!
 
It sure does,

- you'll be so dissappointed when the temp raises above 5 degC

Have to make yer own jet engine noises :D

At that price I don't think it will be a propper elm scan 327. There's too maney copies out there that are crap. Most do something, but they're a cheap copy of the 327 chip.

Ah ok, I won't bother with that then.

I've just ordered the sensor, so hopefully that will do the trick. Hopefully I won't have too much trouble getting that bumper off. Unfortunately I'm an IT technician, not a mechanic!

So is the problem likely to be the FBH or the thermostat?

both really ,your engine should blow heat out after 5-10 mins fbh should kick about 2-1 deg c . . . .but worth checking no air lock in the matrix or the matrix could be blocked or no heat getting to it , need to investigate this a bit further:)
