    Sounds like daylight robbery. The scrappies are full of dead K series FL1's Offer them £50. They should take your hand off for it

    I had a look on Amazon and they can be bought in smaller numbers for less money. https://amzn.to/3AqBV0B It never occurred to me to search for them. 🤣

    Freelander 1 Freelander EV

    Thanks mate, they look very good, I was going to try and make something but if that fails I'll try these. TBH I was surprised at how much louder it is when bolted in rather than sitting on the foam but it is much more secure. Hopefully the rubber mounts will help.

    So this week I decided it was time to secure my power steering pump properly instead of just jamming it in with foam packing. I never got a photo of it installed like this but this is the foam I was using. It worked surprisingly well for a couple thousand miles. 😋 So I started by cutting a...

    P38A EV Conversion / Hybrid conversion - Pie in the sky thinking

    Hi guys, did someone mention that idiot Alibro? Having done it with a smaller car I would suggest Plugin hybrid/diesel would be the best option for a P38. Hydrogen would be great if filling stations were everywhere and the hydrogen came from renewable sources. As it stands there are currently...

    When I was converting my car to EV I had no clue how successful it would be or how powerful or practical. I was doing it for the fun and challenge so I totally get what you are doing. Thanks for keeping at this.

    Freelander 1 Auto 1.8

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question cause I don't know much about Auto gearboxes but have you figured out what rpm the torque converter will tighten up and send drive to the gearbox? I'm not even sure if any of that makes sense but hopefully you know what I mean. Reason I ask is it just...

    I think @GrumpyGel has done a lot of work on his.

    Freelander 1 Anyone sorted key chip cloning??

    Good to hear you got it sorted. One of the things I like most about my FL1 is how unlikely it is that anyone would steal it. It would be fun to see them try even if they had a key. 😋

    I rarely use Windows and it's been years since I used the MS command line so even though I know/knew about command line shortcuts it's unlikely I'll ever use them in the wild. TBH I was pleased to be able to remember how to navigate the file structure at all. The fuel gauge would probably be...

    Not strictly speaking directly relevant to the Freelander but I recently posted a video showing how to make a CAN bus 'sniffer' for only a few quid. All the usual warnings about terminal boredom apply. ;)

    Sure the K series is a tiny light wee thing so it'll be grand! 😋

    Have you figured how much space you will have for the IRD yet? IIRC the Tie bar bolts to the engine and IRD but will your IRD be in a different position with the Auto box? Maybe just make up a new bracket to replicate the original.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    That's true as officially the only thing that has changed is the method of propulsion. I never understood how towing capacity was worked out, a Defender 90 can legally tow more than your Ioniq yet is much lighter. The best bit about towing the Golf was the route to the mechanic has a fairly...

    Well done mate, will this effect the lower tie bar position?

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Towed brother in law's Golf to the mechanic with it. Funny thing was his Golf clutch pedal was stuck to the floor just like mine. His didn't go as well like that tho. 🤣 Who said EV's can't tow! 😋

    Freelander 1 Anyone sorted key chip cloning??

    I think the chip is pretty robust but the keys are easily replaced so make sure any damage done is to the key, not the chip.

    Have a look at this Savvycan is stunningly good software for reverse engineering. Make sure you look at the notes for links to other channels.

    I used some of that magical error light fixing black tape. It's amazing stuff, one application and the error lights just disappear. 😋 If you figure out how to fix it properly let me know.

    When you say the VCU was checked and is in good condition what do you mean? How was it checked? A lot of mechanics no nothing about them.
