then you just use the transfer box drive that your vehicle originally had as that will probably be closest with tyres , final drive and transfer box high ratio . If you use the discovery one it under reads by about 10% FME

IIRC you need a TD5 speedo in the defender and then use the td5 transmitter in the transfer box , and take a supply from the td5 speedo to the edc ecu . HTSH

If you go the BMW route , then you will need a p38 manual bellhousing , and input shaft . This will fit to a r 380 which in turn will bolt to a LT230 . I fitted a M57 ex 530d engine , uses TD5 rad and i/cooler . From my pov it wasn't that difficult , bur as previous posters say depends on...

Crazy Knobbly isnt needed , but would say a self cleaning mud terrain tyre is , as even with difflocks , if the tyres dont bite you still dont go anywhere. Lim slips usually lose their effectiveness over time, but are fully auto. The no spin or detroit locker are also automatic , but as...

Its a long time ago now , but I always found the standard smith heater OK , I did fit another modified old minivan heater in the rear of a 109 diesel I had . The biggest single improvement is making sure the engine thermostat is operating to spec , and then use a Rad Muff either a fancy bought...

How do you know that they didnt fit the spigot bush and release bearing , as they would be easy enough to fit if they changed the flywheel and clutch , on many engines the bush/bearing is fitted in the flywheel anyway. Might be a good idea to get the facts established before thinking about...

job to guage the size But ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IVECO-FORD-TRUCK-45R-75E15-INTERCOOLER-100304808-/111646644231?hash=item19fea89807:g:N8wAAOSwcwhVLTlr this helps with the size...

Chains , reason , is by the time its bad enough to stop a landrover with even half decent tyres socks arent going to be any help . I carry two sets of chains , have never needed them even with the plough on :) ps that was ref a defender , but have same advice for freelander or others although...

How about modification of a honda CRV rear diff to replace the rover unit , as then you could just have a solid prop , and the honda unit is pretty much bomb proof , a fluid change usually sorts when it gets a bit juddery. ?

Alibro answer several :( but its all in how you go about it a bit like horse whispering From experience when it comes to driving using their professed multi tasking capabilities they invariably love automatics once they have received the right training , none intended :) you can take...

Seems like you need to re educate her !

your best bet would be a td4 auto , as freelander clutches are not cheap to replace heres one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-2-0-TD4-3dr-Automatic-/281833700170?hash=item419e98fb4a:g:Fa4AAOSwI-BWJgb2 no connection with vendor :)

there is an online guide https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/v3555-application-for-first-vehicle-tax-and-registration-of-a-used-motor-vehicle-v555 taxation class will most likely be PLG TC11

look on youtube for injector leak off test , they should all be about the same so if one is doing more then thats the one , cant remeber exact spec for Freelander :(

pretty much concur with GGel , I run a freelander in 2wd , as a nice commuter vehicle , if I need 4wd I have two defenders , if you are happy with a two wheel drive Freelander then you can get one cheap, but don't buy with the idea of fixing to 4wd as often its not cost effective, also with what...

If you can get a OBD hook up , it will tell you if you have low pressure , as you correctly surmised it wont start with low pressure , to protect the final high pressure pump. Doesnt explain the smoke from exhaust part , although that could indeed be an injector , and that would also show up on...

trying to diagnose at distance on someones description , is somewhat tricky . I notice you mention you serviced 5 weks ago , have you physically checked since the incident ? do you have a plug in diagnostic , as you could then get fault codes that would help steer you in right direction . What...

Have you checked coolant level ,oil level ? Driving the car home has probably finished off the engine ! If you didnt know what was wrong why did you keep driving ?

Its a webasto FBH they were fitted to bmw engined freelanders as standard to start with , but then they were made an option on all models except the top ones like premium ES , If its emitting a lot of smoke its probably got an ignition problem , They are switched automatically by a temp sensor...

look at your vin the 7th letter needs to be a "B" with a 90 or an "M" with a 110 , and in the log book (V5) it needs to say estate , not utility . If the first doesn't apply its very difficult to get the second if its not already listed as such.
