    Freelander 1 Freelander EV

    Picking up on low top speed, won't that decimate range? I mean, how will this work at high speed lift off throttle situations, like motorway driving? Will it simply coast sipping zero milliamps for propulsion, or will it go regenerative, or will it still use amps to try and "maintain" speed?

    Classic Classic / P38 Bellhousing & Torque Convertors?

    If it's driving nicely, why are you anticipating it's demise? As for the 0-60 times Kingsley state, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and guess they did a GPS run on Draggy or something similar. However, I suspect benchmarked an old worn 3.5 with a slipping auto box prior to...

    Condensation

    I'm guessing it is a 3 door? let me put it to you this way, it's a land rover, with moving or removable roof parts, it's destined to leak like a sieve.

    Classic Classic / P38 Bellhousing & Torque Convertors?

    I'm going to be a while before I get onto these builds, we've spoke in PM's about the RRC build that is head of the queue, and that's just one of many projects. But I've got a 300tdi engine currently set up for manual and sitting beside an r380, but I've also got the back plate, flexplate etc so...

    Classic Classic / P38 Bellhousing & Torque Convertors?

    Hi Jon, I wasn't aware of that one, I genuinely thought the P38 transfer case was interchangeable with the earlier ones, well certainly as far as the mounting flange, obviously the P38 runs it's props on the wrong side of the vehicle...

    Classic Classic / P38 Bellhousing & Torque Convertors?

    Sorry, I misspoke, you are correct that the transmission valve block, electric or hydraulic controls the torque converter lock-up clutch, while the larger torque convertors "stall" at lower RPM than a smaller one. To me semantically the effect is the same, the reason for that is that "stalling"...

    Classic Classic / P38 Bellhousing & Torque Convertors?

    Thanks Henry. I've got a 6.2 diesel which lunched on the clutch packs for the 3.9efi autobox I had it married to, I was trying to see if it would be feasible to buy a 4.6 box, take out the electric valve block, flush and fit my 3.9efi valveblock, and also get the 4.6's more efficient torque...

    Classic Classic / P38 Bellhousing & Torque Convertors?

    Daft question, but just how interchangeable are classic / p38 bellhousings & Torque Convertors? if I had for talking sakes acquired a 4.6 gearbox bellhousing & torque convertor, ignoring the electronic controls for this conversation, would the gearbox bolt up to a 3.5 / 3.9 v8? Or does the...

    Tyre pressure valves

    As can be seen in the picture below, these are the same as the Peugeot ones, the hex on the valve stem is the nut for securing them to the rim. remove valve cam, unscrew hex headed sleeve, insert sensor and stem from inside of rim out to outside, fit outer sleeve, fit tyre, inflate tyre. At some...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Pretty sure tailgate handles are service items on hippos, like door sills and body cross members are on discos. Usually a but of botchery can fix the tailgate handle, a little tub of devcon epoxy, some M6 coach / roofing bolts, and a bit of imagination can remedy them. The other place they can...
