Hi All, Wow, I have created such lovley debate. We got the car back yesterday. All is great. The ECU was damaged, and needed 3 new components and a reprogram. Also a posh relay (as the mechanic described it). All in including all the fault finding it was £300 which really good as far as I'm...

Hi, Just an update for everyone that has helped. I had to get it towed to a local specialist in the end. He has gone through the same kind of things that I have with no success. He moved on to the ECU (that I had considered) and sent it off for testing. It was found to have 2 blown components so...

Wow, so great thoughts - thanks for your time everyone. In terms of the immobilier if it was this would it even turn over? I have charged up the battery and locked unlock resynced etc a number of times with no luck. As has been said, reading the forums, normally an injector fault or cam...

Hi again, Thanks for everyones input so far. Unfortunately I think the inertia switch was a bit of a red herring. It seems to have made no difference, so possibly it either didn't click when I pressed it or possibly it set when I unplugged it to check the connection. Either way there is no...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. As far as I was aware I only have the rear fuel pump. My pump and filter are under the rear wheel arch. I can hear a buzzing from the engine where the fuel pipes seem to dissapear under the rocker cover but I didn't think there was any further pumps. Thanks

Hi all, I do hope some of you clever people can help. My Freelander is broken and I don’t have many ideas on what to try next. We have had the car about 6 months, it’s a 2003 TD4 and has been perfect, no faults at all until this week. It started when the lights were left on and the battery...
