going to mod freebe
Doobreydog:
--- Quote from: "orbspeed1" ---What lift have you got and more importantly what size spacers did you use I have a 2 inch lift and was thinking of go 215 75 15 but like the idea of 215 80 15 as you have. i already have 3mm spacer with standard at tyres.
--- End quote ---
30mm spacers....but you should get most 215/80/r15 on without ...

OK engine wise.
A remote theromsat to remove the root cause of K series destruction (caused by stresses when the stat opens and floods cold water into a hot engine, see my k series threads). I belive that Landrover do a version of this that is STD on later freebies to avoid lots of warrenty issues. Any general K series ones may not have the correct hose shapes so oly go for one that says its for a freebie (unless someone can tell you it works)
An oil cooler, mine cools the oil of the water cooling system, this means coolant and oil are kept in sync, again avoiding stresses cause by temp difference. Again be careful to make sure fits.
How about a performence filter or induction kit, I dont know if the airbox is differnt on the freelander, but an induction kit wil fit directly on the throttle budy and could help youroute the air intake to somewhere higher up (wading)?.
Larger and alloy throttle body as the K series palstic one one is prone to sticking.
If you have a chane then a 135bhp head will be the best compromise for torque and power. Most of the performnce K series (mine 160bhp and 7500rpm) are not torquey enough.
Lightend flywheel. Expinsive but helps revs/power but makes car easier to stall, but then again im not sure if the effecdts are desirable in a 4x4 when its all supposed to be low down power and gentle on the throttle/heavy car.
If you only do one thing, MODIFY THE THERMOSTAT!
