    FBH always running

    I started the TD4 this morning and the outside temp was 13°c but the FBH still started. I'm sure Ive read somewhere its not supposed to run over 5°c. Ive looked through the forum and someone suggests it could be the ambient air temperature switch is stuck closed. Can someone tell me where I can...

    What a plonker

    One thing I have noticed is the car starts a hell of a lot better than it did before and there's no smoke when it first starts up. Dunno if its because its had a decoke from the petrol or if its just down to the warmer weather. I won't be doing it again tho ........ Hopefully

    What a plonker

    Thanks for your replies. I sorta feel rest assured I ain't fuct it up lol. Just for good measure I'm gonna put half a litre of oil in the tank. I'm just glad the petrol/diesel was expensive at the garage I used otherwise I would have filled her up. Tis a lesson learned

    New tyres, what to do??

    If you go 225/65/17 from a 225/55/17 you should save on fuel too. Just a thought....

    What a plonker

    Had to take my daughter to the dentist today and as usual I was running late. I quickly popped to the garage for fuel and went on my way. Anyway, on the way home the car was as lumpy as hell and I could here a whizzing noise coming from the back end. I thought it might be the EGR pipe trick so I...

    synergy 2 wanted

    Trust me CD is wasn't about the money. I did alot of research on the ProBitz chip and the reviews were all good. I had never heard of the synergy until I joined this forum. The only reason I paid £66 was because I was at the right place at the right time. They normally sell for around £129...

    Freelander 1 track rod end-price-rip off?

    My brother has just had a full service done on his freelander (Old version 1) and he needed 2 track rod ends. It also included a full brake disc and drum inspection/ all new filters (Pollen/fuel/crank case etc.) and 5 new caps for the wheel nuts and removal tool. Its also included a minor SRS...

    synergy 2 wanted

    Around 32 mpg. Thats an average of the last months worth of fuel before the tuning chip was put on. Dunno if it makes any difference but mines a 54 plate with 58K on the clock and was fully serviced when I bought it 3 months ago (including all the breathers). I rarely drive above 50 mph if that...

    synergy 2 wanted

    Sorry... My intention was to ask what the difference was between the 2 tuners and not steal the post, and as for the 200 notes thing, well I saw it being sold for 260 odd squid somewhere.Thats why I bought the ebay special :cool: Didn't mean to offend. And if you don't ask the question you won't...

    synergy 2 wanted

    From what I've read so far it adds upto 30bhp which is what mine does and it can also up the mpg by 2/3 mpg. So what else does it do. The only thing thats different is the added MAF sensor (that apparently doe's not work on certain freelander's) and the extra 200 notes. I must be missing summut...

    No Power when engine cold TD4

    Mine does this. I put a tuning chip on it recently and it did improve but still takes 5 mins to free up.Only does it in the cold weather though. Feels like the handbrake is on but its not. Did a run and checked the rear drums for heat but stone cold.

    I'm no fan of half*rds cos they are just too bloody expensive but I gotta say Half*rds 'pro' range are very good. Lifetime guarantee and some well deserved 'best buy' mag awards too. I've had a set for over 10 years now and the only thing I have broken is the 1/2" to 3/8" reducing socket which...

    fog lights

    I think fog lights should be run independently from the lights. As you say its pointless having them running on full beam in the fog as you wont benefit from them.

    synergy 2 wanted

    Whats the difference between the synergy 2 and one of the other systems being sold at various sites for around £100. I bought a pro-bitz tuning chip for £66 on fleabay and it works brilliantly. I'm averaging around 34/35 mpg and thats from a auto doing local short runs and its got loads more...
