HI guys, I started a thread (freelander driving me mad) and have made this new post, hopefully the mods will leave it here, because I found the answer and want others to find it. I've read a few people with the same fault, everyone blames the Maf sensor, if you disconnect it the car runs fine, with it connected it runs badly up to 2000 rpm, well it's not the maf, it's the solenoid on the egr valve, it opens full bore at tickover, I was getting maximum vac across the rev range, therefore it's choking the engine, to prove it LEAVE THE MAF CONNECTED, and disconnect the vac line to the egr, remember to plug the end, and voila, the car will run as normal. since most people blank the egr anyway it doesn't really matter.
