Engine is completely shot ! I went through a phase of using SVO without pre heat or diesel start - result is bore glaze and rings siezed = massive blow-by and very poor starting. Existing fuel lines are fine for oil, as is filter. I used a marine tank in boot for diesel. One freelander going to...

Its people like SLOB who make this forum the pile of ****e that it has become. I hereby renounce my membership - and I wont be back to read any replies. You obviously have the vocabulary of a chimp and the brains of a turd. Do you really think that anything you have said is the least bit...

I never get above 360

Castle comb...at least ive got a licence which allows me to compete there...bet you havent LOL!!!! Tuning diesels is great cos its not easy to blow them up - OK I manage now and then but it doesnt put me off. Just for the ecord I used to own Hargate Racing, specialising in cylinder head mods...

Nd while im on a roll....I agree that 1.5 bar might be a tad high, but it should run @ 1.2 all day so its not that much of a hike.

Christ on a bike ! How many of you know anything about turbocharged engines? First off there was plenty of oil in it - thank god i do check it regulary! And as for 100 mph being fast...that was an indicated 100, probably 85 in reality! The L series engine is very tunable and the internals will...

As some of you may be aware, ive worked in motorsport for many years - and I run my freelander on chip oil!! Driving down M65, 100mph @ 1.5 bar boost, mucho smoko, pulled over, switch off and........nothing happens, engine on full bore..engage clutch and force stall. Sump oil level critically...

theyre handy for bolting spotlights too ....

Like I said....why doesnt everyone have one ????? Mine also gives better MPG -

lets get one thing straight, only ever connect like for like terminals, + to +, - to - when jumping - now theres another distinct posibility, if you drain a typical lead/acid battery far enough it will not recover (under conventional circumstances - zap the bastard with 72V and a couple thousand...

I bought a marine type tank off ebay @ £10, some flexi tube @ £5, a large roll of B&Q 8mm copper pipe @ £15, 2 solenoid valves from a local LPG fitter @ £10 each, couple of in line filters & Y pieces & hose clips + switch, wire & terminals - strapped tank into boot, ran pipe...

COSTCO IS 48PPL, for what its worth, i ran mine on a 50/50 mix for a few thou miles but wasnt comfortable with it on cold mornings. If anyone wants a twin plug fuel heater its yours for £20 - with brand new plugs (hence the price) untested.

Gone to a 2 tank system, cost about £80 all in, will recoup this in just one week of motoring - running perfect !

thanks sparky - I only rAVE COS its the cheapest power boost known to mandind ) Buxton.......the cat & fiddle.....keep up dude !!!

in my opinion the surest way to DIY test for head gasket failure is to see if the coolent hoses go rock hard straight after starting a cold engine - oil in water & water in oil all have certail specific presumtions which may or no be met whilst a pressurised coolant tract is almost a cert. HTH.

when you buy it be sure to give me & this forum a mention....

theres newt wrong with Buxton - dont go there if ya a jessy tho !!!!!

Buxton !!!

heat exchanger is one copper tube running inside another - Im not after heating it to 80deg at this point, its just there to get fuel through the filter, the fuel pump gets plenty hot enough to heat the fuel to the correct temp for the injectors. I also made a 2 heater plug pre-heater but to be...

tis a battle of minds.....
