The MAF sensor doesn't really do a lot on the VP37 pump equipped models (such as the freelander).

Try pumping the priming bulb till it goes hard first before starting. If starting improves then you have an air leak into the fuel system (usually the priming bulb itself but can be any part of the fuel system).

there is a page in here i think that tells you how to repair the starter, assuming its the same as whats in the rovers?

what is that rolled up behind the lights on the roof rack?
There isn't a low box on the freelanders. The thing behind the lights is a tarpaulin that the guy I bought the roof rack from had on, I think he used it to put over the windscreen when he was hunting as he used to lay on the roof rack while shooting.

ETV - I will try that as the pump is right at the top easy to get to. Are there any sensors that I should change from having the turbo blowing? Any that may have oil on them when they shouldn't? I've got a few of the easy to do ones that are cheap (IAT and oil pressure switch). I was thinking about the MAP and oil temperature ones too??

To be honest the turbo blowing won't cause any issue to any of the sensors.

You can probably read the fault code using the paperclip method to see if the ECU thinks there is a fault with anything.
