pre 2000 and post 2000 use completely different protocols from the alarm (pre 2000) / immo (post 2000) to the engine ECU pre 2000 it's the old MG Rover EMS codes. This is a fixed code which is the same system as MG Rover 5AS and Pektron alarm systems. pre 2000 engine ECUs can be put into a...

on a 2000 on it uses a BMW rolling code system. You can reflash the engine ECU to ignore the immo. The immo also inhibits the starter motor so you would have to wire your own starter motor relay from the key to bypass it. I don't remember what other things the immo interferes with, so you would...

They used the 27VT as both alarm and immobiliser up until 1999. From year 2000 they took the immo function out of the 27VT and moved it to a separate BMW based EWS3D and then in 2004 replace the EWS3D with their own SAWDOC system. So, if your Freelander is 1997 to 1999 then you don't need to...

was there a definitive conclusion to this? I have a boost leak on my Jaguar XJ year 2006 with the 2.7 engine. Jaguar part numbers for inlet manifolds / rocker covers are as follows:- 2.7 LH C2S52858 RH C2S52859 3.0 LH C2S52868 RH C2S52869 I would definitely like to go aluminium if possible...

13th September works for me. But if I'm the only one not wanting it in late July I'm not going to be resentful about it.

first fuel consumption figures are in. We are getting about 24mpg driving around London. Driving to PoL and back, most of which was cruising at 65mph or so on the M40 got me 30mpg. I don't know how that compares with a manual 1.8 but it doesn't seem too bad to me.

also I'm free basically whole of June and whole of September except the first week

though in exemption to the school holiday thing, I am totally free May 24/25th and May / June weather in North Devon seems not too much different to July.

I'll be working from the inlaws for the entire school holiday, so "go" yes, "on holiday", not so much.

I will bring my T4 if a date can be done when I'm actually available.

also, won't hotels in Devon be difficult during school holidays?

I can't do school holidays. I have to go on holiday given that the wife works in a school. Could we do a non holiday weekend?

I got interviewed. 10:48 in:-

Hi I'm wondering if there are any UK shows or meetups this spring or summer that people with Freelanders tend to go to?

It's way, way stronger than the spindly thing that the previous owner was using to tow their horsebox.
