    Freelander L-Series Van Project

    Just an update on the remapping sides of things. After having it checked over the gent said its not possible to remap it due to the type of ECU, so a RonBox is my next choice. On a better note my insa turbo dakars should be arriving early this week and swiftly fitted my new modulars :) will be...

    Freelander L-Series Van Project

    thank you muchly :) i've been recommended the ron box but because of the discounted price of my remap (had 3 cars done by them previously) it seemed daft not to go for it. I'm not after a silly map just something to give more low down grunt and if I'm right in saying the box requires some...

    L-series Idle

    Yup, me again! Getting it all out with now :( This time it Idle related on my L-series. She fires up toot sweet and will naturally idle relatively high when cold and after a run up the road and into town she starts idling irratically, i'd call it, and only every so often. I'll pull up to a...

    Rear Window Shanangans

    well it worked fine after i changed the battery, as the ruddy thing dropped to its cave when i disconnected it but when i connected it all back up I got the window to the top it was fine. But is there an OFFICIAL reset procedure? Because I've had the rear panel and cover off but couldnt find...

    l series difficult to start

    my l series was a dick to start so naturally i changed the battery and it still wouldnt start properly, like it had a flat battery but clearly didnt. it was the starter in the end. fires up quicker than anything ive ever owned before now :) no matter how cold it is. Starters get tired after...

    Still juddering from the rear....oh darn it!

    well when i turn a tight corner, mainly right, in second gear (so under some torque) the rear starts to make a thumping sound....and i mean a thumping sound :L. it doesnt do it so much if at all when turning left. Its not that the wheel is jumping, skipping etc but it sounds like the driveshaft...

    Still juddering from the rear....oh darn it!

    Hello guys and gals! I've got a good one for you! As far as I am aware the common rear wheel judder when turning is caused by either diff mounts, crack on the mount etc or the VCU. However, I believed that the rear diff mounts were shot so I have just finished changing them and after a...

    TD4 swap

    Hi there, completely new to the forum (will show soon enough) and I'm curious as to whether you can swap the Di motor with the TD4 engine in the freelander? And if so how easily is it to do? Any information would be greatly appreciated as I have more faith in the BMW motor unless I'm...
