    high revs on idling

    my 1999 1.8 is reving very high when idling... up to 2500. When I turn the air conditioning on and open vents fully it drops back down to around 800-900 rpm. Can anyone point me in the right direction where to start looking for the root causal. thermostat?

    I would be looking at the idle air control valve. These need to be set with a computer

    It can be done elsewhere but will need to be done at a LR specialist as they will have the required computer to do it. Sorry I cant help you with where, I'm on the other side of the country. I have a hawkeye and it should do it (I haven't done it with a hawkeye but is listed it will)

    Its a hand held computer for Land Rovers. Google Bearmach Hawkeye. This will give you a picture of one.

    I have found the idle air control valve to be faulty but have so far been unable to find anywhere that can help me locate a new or reconditioned one. Have tried Barbagello to no avail and tried a few wreckers. Does anyone know of a freelander in perth being sold for spares or where would be best to locate a new or used idle air controller valve
