Just wondering what would be involved in retrofitting the older side facing bench seats to a newer defender, say TD5 or Puma?

This unit is made to fit the FL2 dashboard: https://xtrons.co.uk/land-rover-qualcomm-665-octa-core-6gb-ram-128gb-rom-integrated-4g-lte-iq70dlrl A lot of the functionality Nodge mentions can be restored by a CANBUS decoder hooked into the android head unit. I'm just starting to scratch the...

Yeah, I'm down to one key for mine... So I've kind of got a vested interest in seeing something come to fruition. There's plenty of ID46 chips on eBay marked for land rover, but I've not got the toys to play with them. Since you've got those toys already, it might be worth you time splurging ten...

Presuming someone sourced the chips, do we as a community have the technology to program/code the new key chips to the immobiliser?

I believe the OP was talking about a K&N Filter that drops in in place of the stock filter, rather than one of those universal cone type filters, so it would still suck in colder air from outside the engine bay.

As a mature boy-racer, lets call me a road-racer, the principle of a K&N filter are right up my streer, however Lynall nailed it by citing the damage filter-oil can do to the MAF sensor. Simply put the old oiled-filter design works great on old carburetted or "flapper" Air Flow Meter set ups...

I seem to recall @Alibro making chequer plate inserts for his tank cradle?

Fun fact - FL1 control logic automatically starts the AC under certain configurations of the vents, demister. Fan at full speed + vents to windscreen = AC on IIRC, the logic is your demisting the windscreen, so you don't want to be putting moist air there, so the car starts the AC to cool the...

Would confirm my suspicion that there is only a 12v sent to the airbag / belt tensioner to detonate it, meaning we needn't be as scared of these explosively activated safety devices such as air bags and belt pre-tensioners, which would take some of the pressure off you refitting the seat in a...

Humour me, when you've removed the seat, with the ignition on and or ignition running, meter the voltage coming across the two pins on the connector.

That is quite possibly the cheapest EGR blank I've ever seen....

In the following picture (your picture) push in the dark blue clip, and pull that fuel line off, gives you more room to wort. The stainless rail is bolted to the black fuel pipe by an 10/11mm headed m8 bolt - ONE of the two ports to plug is the bit of hard pipe sticking out directly below the...

Plug the coolant lines for the EGR rather then loop them back. the freelander is piped up with the heater matrix and the EGR cooler in parallel, but the cooler has less resistance to flow, so more water goes over it, meaning when you plug those two ports you also get a better heater as a nice...

Correction, might be m16 bolts you need to use - it's over a decade since I did this "nuke it from orbit" EGR delete on mine, as opposed to the little pansy blanks people get from eGay

Mug it off entirely, there's two hoses from the EGR cooler to the coolant rail that runs over the gearbox, get two of M12 bolts, and four jubilee clips, although the original ones will work, cut the hoses to ~1+1/2" - 2", screw m12 bolts into one end, jubilee clip it up, repeat for second hose...

I'm confused why you were attempting to take off the air filter housing to get to the hard pipe from the thermostat housing to the EGR cooler / transmission cooler / heater matrix branch of the cooling system? Remove the solenoid plug from the vacuum valve that operates the EGR Valve on the...

Your fabriucation is coming on leaps and bounds Ali, that box looks great, you should be proud of yourself. Does this new box mean there's no longer going to be batteries inside the cabin on the boot floor?

Strange that you've got to do that, if anything I'd have thought it might be the other way around, where the icarsoft might not have been aware of the newer model, but would recognise and thus be willing to work with the earlier model. *shrug* glad you found something that works and are feeling...

Sad news indeed....
