Sorted, when I cleaned the tank pickup I just cleaned the plastic gauze, I hadn't realised there's a metal gauze inside the plastic thing. I took it apart becuase I figured it had to be something to do with the pickup, and there was a LOT of crud on it. Cleaned it up and we're back to normal...

So, (2nd) new filter didn't make any difference. This is making no sense, the two low pressure pumps I've tried are both really noisy, like not just on the noisy side for a low pressure pump, like annoying in the cab noisy, in a way that it never was before. So running the pump outlet straight...

Yup, tried this, still the same. Assumed pump was faulty and exchanged it for a better pump, no difference. Details are included a bit further up the thread.

I'm getting a fault for flow fuel pressure when it happens (from the low pressure circuit), and I can see the low side pressure drop to 150kpa at about 2200 RPM so it's definitely something to do with the LP fuel system.

Thought I'd post another update on this, the Freelander isnt my only car so other things have just got in the way a bit hence the slow progress. I will post the solution when I finally get to the bottom of this.. So the (2nd) new low pressure fuel pump didn't fix it, it's still noisy and still...

Just a quick update, I got a fault code reader, didn't work, ordered a different one (Icarsoft 930) and read the codes. Its a low fuel pressure fault on the low pressure side, it's about 250kPa at idle and drops to 150kPa at 2000 rpm so I've gone with the cheapo electric pump I bought being...

It was a Starline pump from Euro Car Parts, I didn't really give it any thought to be honest - I started it up to move it ready to swap the fuel filter and the pump sounded noisy so I went to get one before I started. Cleaning the tank pickup made a huge difference in pump noise, I refitted the...

Just looking for some thoughts while I get a code reader. My 06 TD4 started randomly losing power, by that I mean when accelerating it would hit an RPM wall, seems to have settled on doing it at 2200rpm and the check engine light comes on. It hadn't had a filter while I've had it and the low...

Sorry to Necro an old thread - I thought this might help someone. I've had this problem a couple of times over the last 10 years or so with running older cars (including my 2006 Freelander) and it always seems to turn out to be the same problem. The symptoms are that the brakes stick on but only...

Well that's it, I finally bit the bullet and got rid of my troublesome P38.. Just wanted to say a big thanks to all you guys on here who've helped me with the many problems / issue's I've had with it. I finally got it sorted and road legal, and had completely lost interest in it. Then the...

Cheers for the info!! I got destracted by fixing oil leaks and forgot about this, that's exactly what i was looking for! I found my major oil leak, some idiot had tried to remove the valley gasketwith the rocker covers still in place... then gave up leaving a gaping hole in the rear end...

I didn't, but I was getting a message centre 'ABS FAULT'... Anyway, ABS is now fixed :) I cleaned all the sensors and checked their connections. one of the back sensors had a build of of metallic filings, hardly anything but I'm guessing enough to cause an issue..!

Basically, I can connect to EAS but my code reader will no longer connect to my rangie. I rewired my OBD connector a while ago, from what I can tell it's right.. but I can't find anything anywhere telling me what colour goes to what pin.. can anyone help? I spent many hours looking for this...

I do now!! I had all the doors shut just in case...

You might as well, Brake fluid absorbs water so needs to be changed periodically.. Although many people don't bother and have no isses.. But it's dead easy to change! Get a one man bleed kit with the non return valve, stick it onto one corner, loosen the nipple right off and then just pump some...
