Hi guys so I've got the gay lander at last! After a 5 hour drive from new market to Devon

I was wondering if someone could show/tell me where to buy the EGR blanking bits? I've seen the £35 one on eBay but I don't wanna be buying any cheap ****.
Also, I'm surprised to find my hse doesn't have cruise control, can it be retro fitted? I would of asked land rover but I quickly decided not to when they told me the luggage nets for the boot are £80odd each! Probably more stuff Ive forgotten but gotta get priorities sorted lol

Not sure about freelander, but when I blanked the egr on my vauxhall astra I used a bit of 1mm aluminium sheet and Blue instant engine gasket sealant. I've even seen some people make a blanking plate out of a coke can.

why blank it ??
just disconnect and plug the vacuum line and clean the inside of the EGR valve.
No more exhaust gas return = no more gunk build up

So that would be a FREELANDER then its bad enough the disco and defender crowd using the other term without one of our own doing the same

it only matters if it bothers you

You can pick up cargo nets much cheaper but avoid the really cheap ones, they only last a year or two before stretching out of shape. Our LR ones are still good after a decade.

Cruise control was standard on the ES model in the pre-face lift generation.

Got cruise control on my ES V6

I believe it's easy enough to retro fit on a TD4

Weird, because it was supposed to be one of the main differences between the GS and ES. I think the other extras were aircon as standard and a vanity mirror with little lights! Possibly CD player too?

I've seen a few v6 ES' s without cruise control which leads me to believe that it was an option even on the ES. GS' s don't always have Leather seats but all ES' s do.

there was no cruise control on my hse, but I retro fitted it first of all make sure the wiring is there . then you need the on of switch , then you need the paddles switches and last you need a second hand ecu for the cruise control and as it is second hand you will not need it programing , mine does work slightly different to my old one first I switch it on then I have to press the res button and then the set button but it all works

Back to the egr , get the stainless steel blanking mod , also clean the intake manifold and ports while your at it !

Haven't really got the time or effort to mess around like that, I have up being a mechanic 6 months ago lol what about that bloke in Birmingham who supplies and fits the after market kit?
