Yeah that is odd, any leaves blocking the intake (hard to see that happening tbh). Douse the connectors with contact cleaner for the craic too maybe.

No not blocked, I’ll have another hoke. I just watched a YouTube vid of someone with the same codes and he says it’s throttle body :worried: , I’ll do the simple stuff 1st, not easy in this weather by the time she gets it home lol New pierburg part is £125 so if it’s that it could be worse I suppose

Well the throttle body has cured it so could’ve been worse, mot check flagged up all four trailing arm bushes, front left lower arm bushes and ball joint, all sorted and here we are again for the second time this year for an alignment lol

Over a year with the Freelander and it’s been mostly great, 163k on it now and after a bit of a suspension refresh it’s driving really well.
My brother bought me a 22” light-bar for Christmas so stuck it on today via an in-line fuse and relay beside the headlamp. Got some 3D printed brackets from a Freelander YouTuber that fit nicely and leave no damage if they come off.

Flash me now you *******s :joy:

Bloody hell, that's crazy bright! That thing is giving you good enough service for all it cost you, class. Mine was away last weekend getting a paint correction detail and is looking great again.

Always wondered but what are the 4 chambers coming out perpendicular to the intake pipe?

Well I took a bid. which was my bottom on it, but the guy is very happy, said he’d been looking for weeks and the others were rotten dogs, couldn’t believe mine was so clean!
I don’t think they’re beatable at that money, sensible prices to fix, capable off road and still a comfortable place to be

I’ll more than likely regret not taking that off your hands, coming from you I expect it was well maintained and treated.

I got some melters when I was selling mine. I’d definitely be tempted by another if I could find an HSE facelift for a decent money but seems unlikely

I had no interest off used cars ni, 5 or 6 asked on gumtree if it was still available and then went quiet, 1st guy to ask for my number bought it, sold in 4 days so pretty good really :grinning: Oh and one local farmer who wanted it for £2k for a farm to farm vehicle lolol
