    ..also, just for your information, I bought all the filters that I needed from Kapodistrias in Strovolos/Kaimakli and also from a Land Rover parts specialist called GTK in Agliantzia who are very helpful. GTK can also find you used parts. My oil filter cover was cracked one time, and he just...

    I thought this Guy's products were good quality. Here is a link to his items page, rather than a specific item which will expire once it is sold. In that page you will find his EGR bypass options.

    PROBLEM SOLVED! Apparently, the black connector which normally plugs directly into the fuel pressure sensor on the fuel rail is not used on this late model FL1. Instead it has a green connector which comes direct from the side of the ECU box. I read somewhere that it is an upgrade on later...

    UPDATE: I drove it today, and it is TERRIBLE! Pick-up is slow, and it tops out way too early. The EGR bypass is supposed to improve performance not reduce it... so I'm guessing it has something to do with the black and green connectors ... has anyone else got both black and green connectors???

    It does plug in there... but so does the green one. When I tried pluggin in the black one, it wouldn't start, but with the green one it would.

    Mine is a 2004 TD4 ... maybe there's a modification to the later models. I read something hinting to that effect on another forum. Either way, it wouldn't start with the black plug.

    So the black one plugs into the fuel rail when I reinstall it. The green one comes from the ECU... what do I do with that? I distinctly remember removing the green one. Will it do any damage if I run the car without it? HERE IS a video that demonstrates my problem...

    SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP! I'm in the process of putting the manifold back on after installing an EGR bypass, but I seem to have two electrical connectors, but only one socket to put them in! I remember disconnecting the green one, but the black one seems like the logical one to fit in the socket...

    Freelander 1 Tailgate Handle

    Thanks to Optimus Prime, I saved €200 by following his simple fix instructions in order to repair my broken tailgate handle that broke off in my hand the other day. I used an epoxy that was specifically for plastics. Thanks again OP... props to you :)
