General Discussion Area / 2000/1 2.0 16v Wiring Diagram (Simtec)
« on: 18 September 2006, 08:37:31 »
I'm building the ECU loom for my turbo conversion and I have been trying to bungle my way through with the 1999 Simtec diagram in the Haynes manual but the climate control on the face lift model is completely different and now I'm stumped 
Does anyone have a detailed circuit diagram for a Face lift X20XEV Omega with Simtec management.
Thanks!

I cant rate these systems highly enough, they have a non-offensive burble at idle, and deep roar at full-chat.
The build quality is spot on, and all pipes are mandrel bent.

I'm going to have to go for a air->oil cooler I think, Didnt realise the 2.2 had an exchanger too though 
do they suffer from contamination problems like the rest of them?

Do any models come with an air->oil cooler or is it only the V6's that come with heat exchangers?
Cheers!

Sorry my mistake, chassis is now Ford, but engine is still Beemer:

Ford (Jag) engines only came in last year.

Ford rejigged LRs are a million times better, but obviously that much newer, and expensive. Retain price well as (rightly) sort after..
I think your getting the wrong end of the stick, BMW currently own RR..

Personally, I really didn't like the Multipla (about 4 or 5 years ago when I drove one). A mate had the Tuscan for the day and said decent motor. Dunno about the Kia.
The Kia and Hyaundai's are the same thing basically
I drove a Sorento TDi a few weeks back and I was very impressed.

Just as a note there are loads of people that break these and second hand parts are quite cheap. The 4.6 engine in the newer Range Rovers had problems with the liners moving and overheating which is an engine rebuild.
Lets not forget the random snapping oil pump chains!

freelanders seam cheap! very cheap.
Thats given us a few ideas, when the freelander was built, did Ford own landy?
Seriously pre-bmw Land Rovers (Discos), Range Rovers ARE A JOKE.. And the later stuff is over-priced
Get him to go and drive a Fiat Multipla, Hyaundai Tuscan and a Kia Sportage (or Sorrento if he wants a BIG 4x4).. The later two are VERY reliable and stupidly cheap second hand.

I agree, as soon as BMW started fiddling with Rover/Landrover, silly reliability issues crept in - but thats the result when smaller family owned car companies try to become a mass producer without the know-how.
Its the complete opposite really, the BMW Range Rover is basically a jacked up BMW 7 Series, hence the monocoque. The old Rangey with its bizarre dog leg transfer system used to eat gearboxes and suffered from various electrical and engine related catastrophes.

The Multipla is great, I drove one for a while when they first came out, once I got over the initial embarrassment it was a damn great car!
As for Discos, just as rubbish as the Rangerovers, I cant enthasise enough how much you should avoid and old Range Rover/Disco unless you have bags of cash to throw at it or have £30k+ for a newish one.

Range Rover problems tend to be very expensive. Much more reliable than they used to be though.
Only on the newer BMW Rangeys, but they come with a MASSIVE price tag.
