Passed its MOT today :D Managed to get a little video of it on the run home. Will be taxed on Sunday morning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUBbGNJbhcE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riYZJbuu-lo Turbo pipework turned up today! All fitted, running and almost good to go :D New front brake pipes, along with stainless braided hoses Took it for a quick spin, on my private road... In soggy conditions, it will spin up all 4 wheels. Managed to...

BMW diesel in Freebie 1 is chain driven PSA diesel in Freebie 2 is belt/chain

Britpart, British? It's maybe a British company, but the majority of parts they sell is are cheap foreign ****e

Petrol engine is chain driven Diesel engine has a belt, that drives 1 camshaft. Inside the head, there is a chain that links the 2 cams together :)

All 1.8 Freelanders use an inductive crank sensor From what I have seen, the VVC models also use the same sensor...

The slave cylinder is the bearing ;)

Timing belt due at 150k miles...

Standard Freelander PG1 gearbox, bolts straight onto the K turbo block Using F/L solid flywheel and HD L-series clutch kit Doing it this way retains the whole 4wd setup, as intended. It would have been much, much easier to use the Rover box and DMF, but would only have been 2wd... Another...

Hall effect crank sensor will not work with an inductive type ECU. Had the same issues with my turbo.swap, and had to get another ECU

That would only give a standard height though... Would be nice to know what the difference is between the 2 springs... Another theory would be pre 01MY springs, as the car is lighter than post 01MY cars. And they have an option for A/C + non A/C. The non A/C springs may be a bit...

OK, so, how best to go around taking 15-20mm out of the ride height of a K-series... H&R do a set of springs, but no difference between 1.8, V6 and diesel models... Seeing as there is a 200kg difference between 1.8 and KV6, something doesnt quite add up...

Were they all TD4/KV6, or did they make a 1.8 Sport as well?

The P38 will bankrupt you. No question

Santa came early, bearing a new ECU... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT2Qd7jiUQk It lives! :5bparty: Something to tinker with over the Xmas break, and get it on the road for early next year :D Need to get the driveline bolted together again, finish and tidy up the turbo pipe work and...

Your existing immo data can be removed from your old ECU, and transferred into the new, providing they are both of the same type of MEMS setup :)

ECU issues resolved, aiming to have it on the road in Feb :D

A (reasonably priced) solution has been identified. Just unfortunate timing with delivery etc, but hopefully up and running for early Jan, and on the road, with 200bhp for February :D

Bmw td4

Progress has stalled for various reasons, mostly due to our 18 month old daughter falling ill, and being taken into hospital. She is better now, and back home. And trying to catch up with missing a weeks work... The engine is in, cooling system plumbed in, and intercooler + pipework 95%...
