For some reason the pics have failed above so trying again.

And obviously under the mat everything's sound deadened and hidden. Almost nothing shows from install which was good. Does it make a difference, yes, hell yes, would I spend extra on dynamat in future, yes, because if this cheap stuff is so good I'd imagine dynamat is far better. But funds are...

Tada. Ignore wires, ran out of bits to finish hardtop light install. All back together at last. Looking to change a few screws next but job done.

You folks are on the same standard as we have been in NI for about 10 years now. Honestly it's more to do with pure black smoke to indicate boost leaks etc

More updates. Single din screen fitted, figured I'd film it again for anyone interested as end result is pretty decent.

More messing about today. First up, replaced my swimming pool lid with a reinforced commercial one, but when I was at it stripped it, and did both sides with the insulation and then taped it up also, might help a little. So that's good, next up I had really wanted to bed liner the rear...

Making most of this good weather and night shift for ebay bargains...... Yep, that's a v6 bumper fitted. Few changes needed, but ideal for my future winch build. Shoe polish dye changing it from grey to black, few more costs and be perfect. Will take care of the green part at...

And start of with the standard map, try and source the zt 160 1.8t map over the 150 1.8t 75 map, both run same boost etc etc. Of you want it mapped after this contact these guys. https://reidyremaps.co.uk Responsible for basically the base and tweeking what every one has stolen over the last...

Ref the ecu, your only talking a 36kilobyte file here. Just get the file changed from a 1.8 on mems3 to 1.8t on same ecu. Any competent remapped can sort this. Then you can use the loom from your 1.8 onto the 1.8t and wolla easy swap. Then just use a manual boost controller, and your away...

Patience has paid off, I've wanted a set of the original rubber mats for not just this Freelander, but the one before, so about 3 and half years now! Having the commercial with the cage ment rear mats where pointless and then these appear in ebay, almost if not brand new for pennies delivered...

Know what it's like mate. All to well. Any word on you getting another?

Everything is 2nd hand or super cheap ebay special. It was my daily for a year until mot failure. Even tyres are £50 a pop new. Lift kit was most expensive thing as I wanted brand new for it. Everything else has been planned ahead and bargain hunted rather than rushed.

ZR seats are great but but too tight for me, if I was a girl on a dating site they would describe me as "bubbley" which we all know is man code for a bit fat. Lol. Drivers seat is on now and all functions work as they should. Best addition I've ever made to the car, super comfortable.

Check dip stick. Terrible issue with where pipe goes into block on 75s and yes I know you said right side, it seems to leak slowly there.

Very nice fitted. So far only one side. More to come tomorrow.

Bit done tonight. You can see what's involved

Next up, did this last night when I was unable to sleep. Weather was wonderful so made most of the dry evening. DIY cheap thermal and sound deadening. Next part of the project is these. Rover 220 coupe turbo cloth seats. Bit dirty and a little tear in one but ideal for my needs...

Well I've decided it stays. And I've been doing all sorts since. But for her to stay it needs to become my daily and needs to be brought up to a much higher spec even for a van, so it's been big tweeks. She's not mot ready yet, doing everything then send her when ready. Today was fuel pump and...

Has anyone got global figures for how many Freelander mk1s from 97 to 06 where actually made. Its for something I'm working on and I can't find a answer as it seems be guess work
