was there a definitive conclusion to this? I have a boost leak on my Jaguar XJ year 2006 with the 2.7 engine. Jaguar part numbers for inlet manifolds / rocker covers are as follows:- 2.7 LH C2S52858 RH C2S52859 3.0 LH C2S52868 RH C2S52869 I...

13th September works for me. But if I'm the only one not wanting it in late July I'm not going to be resentful about it.

first fuel consumption figures are in. We are getting about 24mpg driving around London. Driving to PoL and back, most of which was cruising at 65mph or so on the M40 got me 30mpg. I don't know how that compares with a manual 1.8 but it doesn't...

also I'm free basically whole of June and whole of September except the first week

though in exemption to the school holiday thing, I am totally free May 24/25th and May / June weather in North Devon seems not too much different to July.

I'll be working from the inlaws for the entire school holiday, so "go" yes, "on holiday", not so much.

I will bring my T4 if a date can be done when I'm actually available.

also, won't hotels in Devon be difficult during school holidays?

I can't do school holidays. I have to go on holiday given that the wife works in a school. Could we do a non holiday weekend?

I got interviewed. 10:48 in:-

Hi I'm wondering if there are any UK shows or meetups this spring or summer that people with Freelanders tend to go to?

Update on my IRD JIG assembly and an attempt to torque the pinion wheel nut to 184ft/lbs. I report ‘failure’. I used a 2mm steel plate to fabricate a locking device for the flats on the end of the ‘lay shaft’…Initially the locking device...

Having stitched half of year 2003 V6 auto loom into a year 2005 1.8 K series, yes they do. The wiring diagrams were pretty much faultless.

Pin 7 of the OBD connector should go to pin C0603-3 of the TD4 engine ECU. I'm pretty sure it will be a pink wire.

sending off the ECU for repair seems an expensive hassle without testing the K line wire first.

It can unlock the doors from the "Actuators" menu of the 27VT CCU. I haven't tried it with the ignition off though.

oh and I have an invitation from one of the clubs to join them at Pride of Longbridge this Saturday, assuming that the marshals even let me in a Landrover (it's doubtful). Anyway if I can get in then I'll be at PoL this Saturday with 1.8 auto.

I don't know much about Autel, but there is a comparison of tools here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-diagnostics-what-actually-works.378679/ Have you tested continuity from pin 7 of the diagnostic socket to the correct pin...

I fitted the V6 propshaft in the end, as it seemed to be in the best condition of all the propshafts that I have. I stuck some tape on the shaft both sides of the VCU and moved the car about 50 metres. The tape still lined up. Also it's...

yes most of the ECUs are on the same diagnostic line, so, even though the 16 pin socket is inside the passenger compartment you will be able to find the wire on the engine ECU and create your own 16 pin socket in the engine compartment. Very clever.

thank you, but I think I will be able to find one locally, so please don't worry.

yes I saw that. It's an Italian disc. I don't know if it will work in English. I messaged them but they don't respond.

Sorry double replied

The diagnostics protocol can't tell which passenger door is open, as far as I know. Maybe it's a common wire for all three doors. It only knows drivers door or the others.

I now have some more Freelander 1 ECUs to reverse engineer:- Instrument cluster Diesel burning heater V6 cruise control ECU. For the TD4 it appears to be built into the engine ECU, at least from a diagnostics point of view.

I went to see Andy at AP Motors today, I don't think he's on here. He's based near High Wycombe. Anyway he is prepping for sale a Facelift TD4 auto and what's interesting is:- It's in nice condition It's a HSE with I think must have every...

I'm interested in this. I dropped a known good IRD and damaged the casing so one day might want to move the internals to the casing from a bad IRD.

The BBS fellow is unlikely to help me as I'm competing with him.

1.7kph when stationary is normal. I think that this is the "slowest" speed that it can sense. The diagnostic protocol gets cut off above a certain speed, for "health and safety" reasons. The ABS is not actually functioning when the diagnostic...

I have the T4 disc Freelander 35, but it doesn't have (as far as I can see) the capability to get onto Freelander 1 cruise control, and I temporarily have access to a Freelander 1 with cruise control, so I need this disc quickly, if anyone knows...
