    Freelander 1.8 Turbo

    Also, by virtue of the very fact they need to have a supercharged nitrous version fitted in the first place to acheive the same acceleration.Sort of reminds me of a Ferrari vs Ariel Atom :D

    Freelander 1.8 Turbo

    I've been following this thread with interest. I do believe that this will now be the conversion of choice.Excellent work. I'll be looking in to this for a new project later in the year.

    MOT Advisory

    Well my rally Freelander passed it's MOT today. Only 1 advisory - AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION !! Ha ha ha. Strange that they list suspension as an advisory but not any of the other mods. Is this a stealthy way of getting modified vehicles off the streets, list more of the mods year on year until...

    Should I ....

    Why did you bother in the first place. It's not a "proper " Land Rover - unlike your series 3. Even though it fills all the criteria your "proper" Land Rover can't AND it can still be diven 90% of the places your "proper" Land Rover can off road too. Better remove the Land Rover badges off my 2...

    cold start white smoke....again (sorry)

    Leaky injector. Got the same problem. Check for diesel in the gully between the injectors,although you'll need to remove plastic cover, also tell-tale stain underneath the car when parked up. Pop the bonnet and smell near the cover .You'll soon know if you get a whiff of diesel. Also mines...

    may not be popular... lowering a FL1

    This is Dan Lofthouse's Freelander based racer. A good indicator of what a lowered Freelander may look like, despite the massive wheel arches.

    What to go for, high mileage??

    There are plenty of 200,000+ miles Freelanders out there so yes this is achievable. Difference performance wise, between 3 and 5 door, I shouldn't think so. They are the same wheelbase after all, so like you say, the only real difference is the number of doors, although the 5 door may be...

    Malvern Land Rover Auto Jumble

    LRO Magazine usually has any Land Rover event in it's "events" pages each month. Old Sodbury Sortout is the one to go to, it's MASSIVE. Sadly the D-Lander was not for sale. Good job really, I'd probably have ended up buying it.:D

    Malvern Land Rover Auto Jumble

    Went to the Landy auto jumble today, Waste of time , nothing there except a 15" rim, a rear light cluster, a passenger airbag and a window from a rear hard top roof that the guy wanted £40 for. Had to laugh, at that price I'd expect the whole hard top. Usual story from the Defender/Disco/Series...

    Fitted rally mudflaps to the rear of my silver Td4. 4mm thick as per regs. I'll get around to the fronts next time I'm off work.

    Guy Salmon Wheel Cover

    If you really want a spare wheel cover advertising Guy Salmon Stockport, then maybe the answer is to ask Guy Salmon Stockport if they can help.They may have some old stock covers kicking about - but if they do I bet they'll charge you full price .Win win for them, offload obsolete old stock for...

    Bucket seats, advice please

    Here's AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson in my old V6 with the Race2Recovery team. When I owned the vehicle I modified the original seat bases so I could fit Cobra Bucket seats. Looks like they've used girders from the 4th bridge , with packers. Doesn't look too professional though.

    Aftermarket steering wheel .......fitted !

    My insurance is for a specialist modified vehicle. The rally Freelander is completely non spec. The silver one - more just an off roader.All air bags are disabled. The roll cages, bucket seats and racing harnesses effectively make the air bags redundant as you are held in the seat and not thrown...

    Aftermarket steering wheel .......fitted !

    Ace ! Which boss did you use and how did you sort the self cancelling for the indicators ? My steering wheel goes moldy at the top if not used for a week. Just dusty mold, nothing really major.
