Have done getting all work done in one go and price was really good thanks for replies

It can be improved by some of the breathing and fueling mods you listed, except for the swirl flaps, which aren't fitted to the early M47 engine. The standard turbo is fine for 160 BHP too. Be aware that the M47R (R meaning rover version)...

A 3.9 out of a mk1 disco will fit reasonably easily. Just need to move the engine mounts

Exactly as Anaconda says. Go to a decent (recommended by a friend or on here) local independent. You'll get a much more sensible number and list of things to do.

Then of course they will big up any job that may or may not need doing at a labour rate of £200+ per hr. Most people dont take a 13 year old car to a main dealer. You need to find an independent who has knowledge on Freelanders, you may find it...

This might be interesting to you...

Well if yours is 1 of 25 then I suppose that is probably the 630R 6.3-litre Chevrolet V8? Mine is much more humble - as I said: badges, trim, exhaust. I get the impression they offered a mixed menu of little upgrades, before launching the 630R.

Poor connections at the fuse in the box under the colume can resuly in fluctuating gauges.

You just need the right one,but why not get an after market gauge/sender cappilary type that reads in numbers and know what the temp realy is. Well worth doing.

Rear tub dismantled, steam cleaned and sound proofing heat gunned off. Measured up for new 2mm ali floor and inner wings.

Seat box all complete ready for etch and primer, bonnet all cleaned up with the steel work rust converted and new seam sealant just to add some strength and dampening to the ali skin. Have a few small dent that needs skimming and sanding then its...

Just remove the rear propshaft. Or burn the whole vehicle.

As soon as someone lends me one lightning! Until then, the Discovery will have to do.

Navara here fell apart (auto box lost 1st and 2nd), trim fell off, tail gate fell off, eventually it warped it’s head and block badly enough to be scrapped. Hilux is doing fine at the moment however much of this could be down to the Navara was...

Depends what generation, I thought they liked to split in half where the water runs down between the cab and the bed and rusts the chassis away at that point :eek:

Driven: New Defender - On & Off Road. Is it a Pretender? Where should someone start when reviewing the new Land Rover Defender? It seems to be such a contentious subject. And no matter what your views are, you will likely end up truly...

All the axle and suspension parts are now painted, dry and stored. All of the rusty bits have been dropped off at the blasters, in the meantime it’s bodywork fetteling oh how I have missed weeks of straightening panels and endless DAing 😔 on the...

Slight revival, but I wondered about your thoughts on starting a 3.9 v8 EFi engine which has been transplanted into a TDi Discovery and then pulling fuses from the original fusebox to see if it stops? I don't need lights or electric windows...

Afternoon :) N0 you don’t need it. Its fitted first as part of emissions spec required at the time UK US + Japan I believe. Basically it filters or absorbs the fumes via the petrol tank breather, then allows them into the engine when started to...

@Bradisco , which flavour of RV8 3.9ltr engine? They do differ though wiring is near same. Confirm engine and I'll post up wiring diag's for you + it's really worth reading up an how the varying plenums and ECU's work/the intricacies of the...

What a faff getting the bumper off! Typical being an end of line car I found more bolts than either the Green, Blue Haynes or the LR workshop manual suggested. Tomorrow I will be removing the intercooler (Got side tracked by a leaking caliper...

This thread might help? https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-oil-cooler.346068/ Sounds like it is within the rad, but a Freelander 1 won’t get upset by having a separate one.

Okay - V8 D1 owner here. Mines a 3.9 manual, but anyway. Power - excellent. Will blow any 300tdi out of the water, even a modified one, and even if you fill your boot with lead. And it makes more torque than a 300tdi, and the clutch is much...

V8 is a good engine in any guise, the reality of fact is neglect is what kills them and in all seriousness they can take a hammering before they do fail.. the D1 did come with the carb'd 3.5 the early F and G plate cars. Bear in mind you can...

It looks like my 3.9 EFi could be from a Ranger Rover? Pin double pin…

Yes it does. My version has a tab to take the tubing on either side. Is that a bit odd? I have found out that the RPi just ups the 35KV at the plugs (new stock) to nearly 50KV. http://www.v8wizard.com/AR_Amp.php

I think that is a good call Rangieman. It is an aftermarket steering setup from PSC. https://www.pscmotorsports.com/all-products/motorsports/fhss/complete-kits/40-inch-and-up-tire-size-1/fhk400p.html Idle is fine unless either side hard lock is...

Thanks all sorted now 👌

By not being a thick spastic and putting the tube in the right hole this time! I'm so bloody stupid, it was dark, that's my excuse! :rolleyes::vb-lol:

slight delay with progress this week due to a stinking cold … but Im back on track . Chassis is now finished and parked up outside out of the way. Hub assemblies all cleaned up rust converted and trailing arms etc free of very stubborn bushes...
