To answer my own question on the offchance some one else buys the other SD roofrack in the UK... These go on the back between the RR and the roof. This is to support the RR as the roof rail mounts are not fat enough back to support the entire SD RR.

Guy selling on FB market place. I had to drive 150mile round trip to get it. He didn't know what it was other than a freelander roofrack.

Fitted a safety devices roof rack 😏

I think you need to look up the electrical diagram to confirm the number of wires on the back of the connector. The ECU uses a 1 wire K-line communications so there really aren't that many wires. It start by looking up the obd2 connector online, it will tell you which pins are supposed to be...

Does anyone know where these parts are to be installed when fitting a SD roofrack on the FL? Is there an installation guide anywhere?

Using the CC lines is my fallback position. I might just do that anyway.

Is it better to buy a second hand OR new-dubious-sh!te-chicom-quality clockspring? My horn button has stopped working. They both cost more or less the same price.

Pscan or knockoff delphi unit. Everything else at the same price is just ****e. Especially icar****e.

hmm, there is an interesting freeloader *click* price is right *scroll* PROP REMOVED TO IMPROVE MPG *close tab*. No propshaft = scrap and the price of scrap is presently through the floor.

For any poor chumps that are reading this in 2025 wondering what the issue was... The crank sensor.

The FL uses a EDC15C4, it can be fiddled with using the absurdly cheap MPPS clones.

It is actually really hard for a new FL1 owner to figure out what diagnostics systems will work with the FL1. Information is scattered across the net and nobody seems to give a clear answer. By far the cheapest option is a a knockoff delphi ds150 interface from China with dodgy software...

If there was an issue with compression wouldn't it run like crap at idle?

I must have missed in the original post, it has a full set of new NGK glowplugs.

*optimistic bump*

Recently I inherited a non(ish) running 2006 TD4 Freelander(FL). The previous owners had skimped on maintenance and destroyed the turbo by neglecting to change the sludge they thought was oil. It should be noted this FL was a runner just prior to the turbo dying. I have a spare TD4 engine...

Bit pricey for me! Thanks anyway.

What software is this?

Greetings fellow landrover enjoyers. I have just traded in my 1995 Xantia for a 2006 freelander. I will miss the old girl but she really was a rolling skip. They don't make them like the XUD9 TD anymore. Just replaced the turbo on my new (to me) FL but now the bastard thing won't start. All...
