Sitting in it as it shudders violently while trying to read fuel pressure from the Hawkeye in my lap
Of course the moment it's under observation it starts fine
Well, funny you say that… I did last night
But only after I got fed up with it all (eventually got the regulator out - what fool thought using torx bolts in an area where you can’t easily get to…. Wait, it’s a LR…)
Anyway, got the regulator out...
Great result, all-be-it with a lot of elbow grease and time invested. Well done :D
Having put that effort in, it makes it all the sweeter when you fire it up, drive off and all is running well.
Well for the sake of completeness, I wanted to give a wrap up on everything I did... I finished putting my LR2 back together on the 22nd of April, which was almost exactly a month after getting it towed into the driveway.
The reason it took so...
Bothered by an annoying squeal at low speeds and pulling to the right when braking I took the front wheels off to check the discs and pads. Found a 3" piece of galvanised fence wire partially wedged between pad and disc on passenger side. It had...
Go on do it.
Just secure it in a vice first and don't aim it at the cat.
They're cheap enough to give us some entertainment in your description of what calamity unfolded. :D
Hi Guys & Gals.
I changed the gearbox oil again yesterday and new washers were used, they also were used when i did it originally just forgot to mention it so this time round i have.
As with original oil change always make sure you can...
Nothing wrong with the 1.8 K Series, so long as you don't mind replacing head gaskets.
Depending on where you live and type of driving, they can be cheaper to run than the diesels.
Your problems are 101 Freelander.
Its likely the IRD/diff has...
Going by what I see on here, these non start issues are generally fuel, or electrics relating to fuel.
The regulator O rings, fuel rail sensor, lift pump being the primary ones.
It would be interesting if easy start would fire the engine up...
Morning All,
An update on my 'Rough Running' Been in the garage and subject to test drive by the garage and full diagnostic check. It would appear that I have been lucky in some ways and unlucky in another. Although all the tyres are the same...
The 50th, if and when we get the K-series reliable (!) will be a sunny days and camping car (thinking something like a tentbox lite 2) for the odd weekend away with my OH.
Anyhow...somewhat unusually i've started beautification, even though we...
Yeh, but in previous ownerships, its possible that the earth for the relay has been rerouted to a permanent earth to bodge other issues. Unlikely, but possible.
I agree it is unlikely to be immobiliser - but it is possible to get cranking but the engine ECU fuel injection is imobilised (at least on early cars).
If you have diag kit, worth having a looksie. Should also tell you fuel pressures.
The pics above are for a TD4, yours is an L Series diesel.
I agree the starter is probably faulty. In which case, I'd just replace it - they are cheap and easily accessible on the L Series. I've had to replace mine twice.
From memory, there...
If you used bolts made from the same stuff as the IRD filler, its would prevent possible damage to the IRD :oops:
Unfortunately, that is the limit of my knowledge.
