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...

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.

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.
