How much lower is a "Sport" to a standard FL1?

Haynes manual?

Are they not wiring connectors? I'm not sure...I will have a look when it is light!

But how unique does it need it to be to get in a magazine? Are they just scraping the barrell a little when it comes to Freelanders due to a lack of them being used?

I was just wondering what peoples opinions on it were? Was is really magazine feature worthy?

That is one worth remembering

I think for the Defender and Series link it should be this!!! However, who will decide on the format?

What are your tyres like?

What about the Freelander?

What would help is the tech archive is actually compiled PDF's instead of just saving a copy of the forum topic. I know this would take time from someone but at least they would be good forever.

It is the November issue and yes i am a subscriber.

What did everybody think of the Freelander featured in the latest LRO?

Or fit a turbo and instead of using the impeller wheel giving you extra power you could use it to drive as an air compressor filling a reservoir to run air tools.

You could weld a larger diameter pipe around your exhaust to make a jacket around it. This jacket you would pump water through it to heat the water up and in turn this would go through a radiator/heater matrix to warm the interor. If the gain (delta - t) is large enough it may even work as a shower in the wild when on overland. How is your pipe welding skills?

Any fuel used to power a vehicle on the public highway must pay duty/tax on that fuel at the appllicable rate. If you don't its really no different than using Red Diesel in the eyes of the tax man.

Do you plan on buying the "L" - Series then instead of the Td4?

The L shaped box is the ECM and those rubbers are shrounds to protect the wiring.

I'm going to bed for a cry now!!

You don't want to burn your rim!!!

I have not tried myself but from what i understand the more newer common-rail Turbo Diesel engines run at such high fuel pressure that the viscosity of the veg oil is too thick which causes the problems. You might find some more infomation in the tractor Defender/Series forumsas its more commonly used on their rigs.

Why does the Freelander fraternity get left out? To be honest us hippo drivers are the black sheep of the Land Rover family.

Do you want to run on a mix of diesel and veg oil or do you want Straight Veg Oil (SVO)? I understand that a mix should be ok as long as you change the fuel filter often but i'm not sure about running on SVO without some extra mods...

Maybe a phone call to Ashcroft will shed more light? Or maybe your local main stealer?
