Hmm...Bennane Head I presume all the other roads nearby had blasted average speed cameras

CG, your only jealous, the poor old RRS would struggle to get up to that speed over there

Nah, SD4 is much quicker, at 90mph the RRS would be about 200 yards behind as a rough guide looking at the specs etc, the hill is a fair old slog, if it is indeed, the hill I am thinking of

You will be free of the woes of a DPF I presume? not had any problems with mine, although occasionally I get a rotten egg type smell, not sure if it is my car emptying the DPF or a petrol car cat smell?Anyone know?

I was led to believe that CG bought the RRS because he could fuel it with the excrement from his food factory

I see now why they say it is a engine, it runs on the stuff

Has anyone ever removed the DPF from their car?
There are some websites in the UK that claim to remove DPF Systems from diesel cars but has anyone ever done it to
their FL2?
I am seriously considering removing the DPF from my car because currently there's minus 18 degrees celsius outside (I live in Estonia) and therefore the engine clogs up the DPF with soot every time I cold start the car and I get a DPF Full sign almost every two days.
But I haven't found any garages that claim to remove the DPF in continental europe. Does anybody know if there's a possibility to remove the DPF in continental europe? 2007 FL2 TD4 Tambora Flame

I suppose he did it in the UK and not continental europe? 2007 FL2 TD4 Tambora Flame

I have removed the DPF from my 2009 MY. A DPF-Emulator box has been installed in order to prevent the ECU sending the engine into the limp mode. Nevertheless the orange 'check-engine' light goes regularly on since the ECU misses the DPF-electronics. The good thing is that since DPF-removal and fitting 'black-box' the car can be driven normaly without a single time going into 'reduced engine performance'.

Hei Atrix!
Did you remove the DPF in Riga?

Sorry, Arrjo, for late reply. Enjoing snowbording in Austria currently No, I removed the DPF while living in Germany, half a year ago. Apart from replacing the DPF-part of the exhaust pipe, I bought a gadget produced by an Italian company that was installed with a view to preventing the car going into reduced engine performance. Although the 'check-engine' signal flares up regularly, now I can drive the car how I like it not fearing being stranded in the city wiht a car, which was supposed to 'cross the continents' The DPF on early Freelanders, espacially, wiht manual gearbox is real pain in the ass. Some folks maintain that this is a common problem but judging from the scale of this problem for FL2 I personally think that this is due to poor development work by JLR..
