It was water on a dual carriageway not through a deep puddle, the heavens opened and suddenly I was going through water 2-3 inches deep with horrendous spray from the lorry in front of me, it was so sudden and traveling at 50 - 60 mph it was like driving into a waterfall. How would I check that...

Hi All This car seems to constantly cause me issues, so after fixing my previous problem with the HP fuel pump, I took the Freelander 1 TD4 out on a test run and from a clear sky got caught in a rain storm (very deep water) the car started to misfire the wipers slowed down the lights dimmed the...

Hi all Update on this nightmare, due to lack of funds I very carefully cleaned and smoothed the damage on the metal Piston part pictured in the photograph earlier in this thread as best I could and rebuilt the pump following the instructions from the many posts on this subject on the forum...

Thanks for the reply that is what I was afraid of, I can only hope that someone on here knows of a HP pump I can rebuild or has one in bits they would let go to a new home

I have not posted for a while but do keep reading as this forum is a wealth of knowledge, I have been reading up on refurbing the High Pressure Pump on a TD4 and decided to give it a try, I have removed the pump with the help of the forum and have started stripping the pump. I am still not...

Hi all I did as #Nodge68 suggested and got a great deal of diesel coming back from the top of two of the injectors, so I ordered a set of used injectors from a recommended source which I fitted today and the car started on the second try, I can only assume that somehow I have caused a problem...

Ok I get that, I will try that as soon as I get back tomorrow and report back

Ok so If I turn the ignition on and while the LP Pump is running remove the hose from each injector in turn is that correct ? when I do this am I hoping to see fuel coming out of the hose while the LP pump is operating, If I can not do all four while the LP pump is running, I am assuming I...

Thanks for the reply, do you mean the fuel return line that goes in the top of each injector secured with a push clip and feeds back down to that chrome rail on the front of the engine ?

Pump is a TI Automotive WFX000181 - 7.50051.70. Easystart was tried after the new Pump but result was a split second fire but nothing further

You are not wrong, its a very long thread and seems even longer from this end, I have no way of checking diagnostics as I only have Cheap OBD11 reader and that shows no fault , in answer to your second question the car has not run since the fuel leak apart from a split second when it was turned...

I obviously have no way of knowing how accurate the Fuel pressure gauge is, It is brand new out of the box and the old pump read 2.2 Bar with the gauge fitted in line at exactly the same place. In that case I am at a loss, I am very reluctant to purchase another brand new pump due to the ever...

Thanks to #Arctic2 for the help, a short update on the nightmare that is this Freelander 1 TD4, a Brand new LP fuel pump has now been fitted and the fuel pressure is reading 2.6 Bar at the chrome rail supplying the HP Pump, also the HP Pump pressure regulator has been treated to a rebuild kit as...

I appreciate that low pressure was mentioned earlier in the thread and at that stage I did remove the fuel feed from the HP Pump and run the fuel into a container which filled up frighteningly quickly. At that stage I did not have pressure gauge and was ignorant enough not to realise that...
