205/80R16 (104T) Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10 XL brilliant tyres £71 from Tyremen I use 15 inch version - quiet grippy - cheap - go on Youtube there is info there .... the 195 15 inch ones were £55....

Hi Rik I would be careful with this .... what colour is the oil???? The std low ash 2 stroke oil I have used is red ..... I have checked a couple of makes and it all appears red. I notice it costs around £4.50 a ltr....... so it aint too bad. Rik check on the container is this specifically for 2...

Hi really need some advice ..... recon vcu failed and put some strain on pinion..... pinion got a bit hot and rear oil seal failed (VCU now fixed) - this is not the 'o' ring but appears to be the seal that is located behind the flange of the propshaft mounting. IRD seems fine just the seal is...

Hi I am talking about the IRD pinion output to propshaft. I don't think it is the o ring is leaking ..... I think it is the oil seal actually on the shaft behind prop flange. Is it possible to pop this out without disturbling the 5 casing bolts and oil seal....????

Hi Rik .... that's exactly what I found .... much better......

This is interesting ..... my thoughts exactly about low sulpher....my engine is much happier on 2 stroke I use 300mls per tank. With new glow plugs starts a treat.....

Hi my out of warranty reconditioned IRD is leaking oil .... from pinion oil seal I believe you can replace this seal ......... I am after as much advice on this as possible ... I am tackling this next week. The prop flange looks a real swine to remove......... the seal itself ... will it pop out...

Hi just replaced my glow plugs ...... one of my glow plugs was definately defective....now new ngk ones are fitted glow plug light seems to stay on longer.....so you could be right....a defective plug could effect all.

Hi Chromi ..... I hear what you say .... and yes this did happen to my TD4 this is not your imagination, however I persisted and it actually seemed to improve.... and by third tank it was as normal. Interestingly, I have found the TD4 BMW M47R super sensative to glow plugs ..... I recently...

Hey don't change the old hippo is a bit of a classic ....... give the bumpers a real good clean and re-oil ..... and spend your money on a synergy 2, egr replacement, crank case vent BMW, K&N Filter ......... yeehar. If you wana face lift sell the Kali and buy one!!!!

Hi mine was similar....except I have TD4 ..... but last year I put in a cheap set of glow plugs..... worked a treat but did not last. I have now changed over to decent NGK ones and it is miles better. I believe on L series the 4th glow plug is nearly impossible to remove...........my guess is...

If the hippo is running do not remove!!! ..... these things can be real bar-stewards.... if it sarts and runs and you really want give the system a good clean ..... do a common rail purge. Use BG244 Power Enhancer | BG 244 | Diesel Engine Cleaners | Fuel Injector Cleaner buy a new fuel filter...

Hi .. bdd regarding EGR the freelander ecu adapts to the improved airflow...and this takes a little time (slow brain!) ..... I have found with my hippo that when you 1st do the mods ... I was underwhelmed.....but give it a week of trundling around...and you should find with the EGR for example...

What a great clip ..... it reminded me of a top gear episode where all these really expensive 4x4's were miserably failing up a trial ...... then along came an old git in a 1950's series 1 landrover .... with skinny little tyres...it was laughable ..... and it walked it ..... the driver recond...

Hi are you talking about adding 2 stroke to bio fuel. When I used to run Morrisons veg oil at 39p ltr years ago i found my golf - loved it there appeared to be enhanced lubrication. So if your bio fuel is vege based .... then I would think your wasting your time...... Are you running your...

Hi .... if you have a TD4 like me change the rear exhaust back box. I had a new ss steel system on mine - and the clearence is great. Use good tyres - buy a cheap set of steels and whack 4 remold knoblies on .... use something like Kingpin... they are cheap and grippy - but noisey!- don't use...

As I mentioned earlier after allot of tests the BMW boffins reconed that the low ash std 2 stroke was the one to use. I think it is something to do with the way burns and also its compatibitlity with the diesel pump seals etc. I have been using 300mls per tank ..... and it really has made a...

Freelanders are pretty capable just not as good as 110's or disco's.....no low ratio and big dangly bits don't do Freelanders any favours........ just go on you tube ..... there is loads of good stuff there.... with hippos doing there stuff Just don't take the we beastie through deep water...

Actually, with the progressive valve you get a really smooth transition of power....so the strain on transmission should not be too bad.......providing savage standing starts with launch control are not undertaken. I belive the there was a rally Freelander called Storm this ran very well with...

I use 300ml to a tank works out at around 250:1
