    do rebuilt freelander v6 motors last?

    Honestly until October you could buy complete kv6 units on alibaba.com, min order was 5 for around £6000 for all 5 plus postage. I had planned to buy 5 and sell them complete via owners forum but due to a change of job and lack of current cash it ruined plans. It was working out roughly...

    do rebuilt freelander v6 motors last?

    Would you not be cheaper knitting a roewe 750 kv6 instead? They have 1000s of the engines spare brand new. Just pull off the digital throttle body and swap anything over Freelander specific and your golden. Ive been seriously looking into a new crate engine for my zt-t as a back up. Its the...

    Freelander 1 New commercial van project

    Well I've been working away on her since mot failure. I found a lot that the mot man missed so I've pulled her off road and rebuilding her how I want it. First up the rear end. Have to strip out the rear anyways on the commercial to get access sadly, but I've been using it as an excuse. So...

    Freelander 1 Is a remap worth it for mainly short journeys

    If they stated that then their remap is entirely based around a fueling to get bhp technique, which is as old school as it comes. Yes the 06 td4 brain only has about 56k as the actual source of ecu code but it's amazing how dynamic it can be adjusted. Give the guys at http://reidyremaps.co.uk...

    Heater knobs

    Folks saw on few other mg / rover pages people change their heater knob to other type in mg rover range. I know they are basically same type but has anyone done an upgrade and is there a year / car specific not to take them from. Colin

    Different rear window issue

    Different one folks that I can't seem find an answer too. Father has an 03 td4 5 door and the rear passenger window doesn't work. Before I started there was no click or motor wirhh so I assumed it's likely motor burnt out. Happened to my own fl1. I had noticed before I started you can...

    It's a great shame someone couldn't design a "torque" cam and tuning package for the freelander 1.8

    Freelander 1.8 Turbo

    Only just over half a second slower than a 190 zt. That's dam good going in a freelander.

    Where to get a maf!!

    Or you can go to reidy remaps (good them think they changed name this year) for a mafless remap for the m47r or l series diesel engines. Choose standard or additional power with the mafless map also. Cheaper than an oem maf I've ran their mafless power map on my 75 diesel auto for 60k now...

    1.8 none starting

    OK finally had a chance to look at her today again Car started instantly after fuel filter change (looked like failed o ring in it) to bearmarc unit. Now she will rev happily sitting idling no problems now, it was hunting between 800 and 1000rpm when cold (car hadn't started or ran for...
