    Freelander 1 Wiring colour help

    I'm adding some gauges this week and want to wire the illumination in properly, however a Windows update has killed my VM with rave on it What colour wire is for switch illumination? Also where is a good place to get an ignition live near the stereo, that isn't the stereo (I'm too fussy with...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I looked at many before I bought mine and chose mine because it was a late prefacelift, mostly based on hating the facelift interior more than I liked the facelift exterior, but wanting the upgraded engine, yes buying a 1.8 was a conscious decision It seems cheap and more car like than what a...

    Stereo harness for freelander one.

    The grey and brown plugs look like ISO so shouldn't need an adapter, unless you want to keep the steering wheel controls

    Overheating 1.8, help?!

    I tried to convince myself mine was everything but the gasket Done 8k since I changed the lot and it's been spot on, except for the 26mpg

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I do have a cooler but no stat, if I can make it fit there it is in the airflow so should cool it a bit? I won't fit the cooler unless I get a stat, didn't want a sandwich plate as it pushes the filter too close to the exhaust This is the start of my lpg conversion, the sensors will give me a...

    I also went on a long drive, 138 miles pretty much non stop Engine light was on due to "low cat efficiency" but the drive seems to have cured it

    Freelander 1 MAF'less Remap? Ronbox or one of the many alternatives

    Leaving aside mot legalities he has a full custom stainless system fitted

    Are the cabin harness's specific or generic?

    Awesome, I will need to mod it slightly as I have the bull bar spots, but I'd like the "factory" lights on the binnacle switch, even if it isn't technically the correct one

    Are the cabin harness's specific or generic?

    Sorry to jump in but what relays for the fogs? I have the binnacle switch and the plug was there, the illumination works but I was planning on fitting my own relay and wiring

    Freelander 1 MAF'less Remap? Ronbox or one of the many alternatives

    I recently drove a fairly modern BMW 4 pot diesel, according to its (geeky) owner it was essentially a later version of the TD4 engine He had a remap and a tuning box, both done together so he had 3 levels of "tune" also had the DPF mapped out

    Freelander 1 What mileage is your Freelander 1 on?

    On my 4th freelander now

    On my 4th freelander now

    I know the heat is an issue, being a gas engineer I'm fitting it myself, £300 all in for the kit. Currently sorting bits to fit proper oil and water temp gauges, the vw coolant bottle and if needed an oil cooler to give me a fighting chance with the lpg. I can also tune the ecu to run a mix of...
