From: chunkybear via CarKB.com on 6 Jun 2007 14:49 Hi all, recently posted about misfiring freelander. Got it checked out at lr today. all ok on the hg front but got a rather puzzled look from the tech that hooked it up for diagnosis. it appears the o-ring in between throttle housing and inlet manifiold was missing!! charged £60 for the hour! would an o-ring really cause all this hassle? -- Message posted via CarKB.com http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/uk-car-maintenance/200706/1

I had my part to play as well. I changed the plugs and gapped them to 0.85 as land rover owners book. but he said he'd regapped them to 1.0mm did they change it or summat. -- Message posted via http://www.carkb.com
