Ah, for the missus. Hmmm. Can she not have the P38?
P38 is currently non-compus, still running rough, could get it up to 50mph the other day, but it wasn't happy about it, plus it is not taxed, insured or tested - and to get it to run, I have to disconnect the MAF so will defo fail on emissions.
When looking, she just fell in love with the Freelander - I kind of understand why - she loved her pick up/truck cab as it was dead simple and fun to drive......this little 3dr Freebie with it's removable rear end, Targa roof and big windows reminds her of her truck cab, plus it is no nonsense, no frills, cheap motoring.
She said if we could find a car she would like I could have the L322, as everything i was looking at for me was to expensive and in the long run would I have been happy with it or have a hankering to go back to a Range Rover in 3 months.....this way, she gets something she will enjoy, and I get the L322, which I will be more than happy with!!!
Win, Win, Win....
It does have a fault, the EML is on and has reduced power - I managed to coax it up to 55mph on the flat when we picked it up and dropped it off at work, but didn't like slight gradients to much and was pokey enough up to 30-35mph but beyond that it was sluggish.
Will plug it into diagnostics in the next couple of days, and reading the reference materials, it could be MAP, Injector No.1, MAF, IAT,Coolant Temp etc.....as they will cause reduced output, and one of them (can't remember which) will limit the pump output to a max of 21mg/stroke - but we will see what the ECM shows up.
When you consider we only paid just over £350 - there is scope to put a bit of money it her to get her back to running properly.....not bad I guess.
Its not letting me up load images at the moment, so I will post pics soon.
