    Freelander 1 Anyone with diagnostics in central Scotland ???

    It's a known issue. Replace the wiring harness with the repair kit... That kit is for the rail pressure sensor, as per my previous post. Dint know why they call it a regulator

    Freelander 1 Anyone with diagnostics in central Scotland ???

    Yes, but normally it's the things you have already checked... Sounds like a loose connection some place. Has it had the Rail Pressure Sensor wiring overlay fitted? Seen this cause all sorts of issues

    Freelander 1 2nd hand CCU?

    Can a 2nd hand CCU be used in an 06 Freelander? Suspect mine is at fault, no indicators or hazards, though the warning lights are on the dash permanently. Trailer warning illuminates and stays on when either direction is selected Relay works, switch works, dash works, so it only leaves the...

    Freelander 1 How easy is it to repower a V6 with an L Series?

    Freelander replacement turbo

    Just done one of these last week. Not too bad, but it's an IRD out job, and a bit fiddly Turbos range from £300 for an aftermarket recon, to £700 for an OEM item. Allow best part of a day's work to replace it
