Well - on mine - when I got it the filter was bad - I replaced it with the standard filter and noticed that if I ran the engine with the oil filler cap loose it fluttered for a moment then got sucked on hard due to the vacuum in the engine. My leaks immediately diminished. Later I fitted the cyclone mod - but leaving the filler cap loose it continued to flutter and never got sucked down hard - so I'm with Nodge on this to a degree. I think the crankcase evacuation is better with a nice clean filter - but in the longer term the cyclone keeps working better - My engine leaks are virtually non-existant now and - praise the pigs - my Landy is allowed on the drive 'cos it dinna leak!!!The vortex assembly was used after problems started with clogged filters in M47 powered BMWs. The vortex can't clog in normal circumstances, so is better in that respect. It doesn't make huge amount of difference if a small amount of oil mist gets into the combustion chamber. There could be a potential for some oil loss, but in the Freelander it's probably minimal.
See how you find it and report back. You never know, you might convince me to do the mod to mine

Managed to get some painting done, still need to do the rear sub frame and diff. But no point till fuel cradle, diff seals and mounts have been done.
Brake drums, back plates, shocks, and tie bars.
Front calipers, shocks, lower arms and tie bars.
Tow bar, front and rear towing eyes.

I like a good painting session, makes it look loads better. Can't wait to get the rest done underneath.

It does. I fitted new discs, so painted the bells on those too.

Looks good, normally do mine. But kept trying to rain, so just got the main bits done for now.

Got new disc's and pads on now, got some painting to do under there too. Least that's in the garage.
And my old mk3 Escort.

The Freelander was remapped today, with maf unplugged. Standard apart from EGR bypass, Silicone intercooler & intake hoses, K&N replacement filter and bwm vortex pcv.
Standard it ran 108bhp & 242nm torque. So a little bit down, as I thought it would be. As maf is unplugged and its done nearly 100k miles.
Remapped it ran 138bhp & 309nm torque.
Well impressed, so much better to drive. Smooth, responsive, and should do more mpg.
Printer ran out of colour ink, so had to write over bhp figure.

Yeah, I'm well happy. So much nicer to drive, plenty of power to pull away and overtake. Very smooth delivery too. Plus I never have to worry about the maf. I checked that on Winu's thread, and his seamed the same.

Am I looking at the wrong line? I thought it had dropped to 100 at 4500 rpm.

Haha, I just noticed that too.....the bhp line is really faint, dark line is torque. His printer was running really low on colour ink.
I was thinking about the intercooler but drives really well. So will probably leave it.
Was a good price too, £195. Worth every penny.

Well the Freelander is in getting the fuel tank cradle, diff seals and mounts changed........so I got the Escort out the garage, and went for quick blast......then had to blast all the salt off lol.
Oh, here's a pic of the old cradle! Don't think my brothers technician likes me anymore.

Cheers mate. Hopefully getting the Escort painted soon. And a couple of slight changes. Will look factory though.
Kept having problems, so been unplugged since Oct. And having it remapped without the maf, means I won't lose any power as the maf deteriorates.
