My only thought as to what went wrong is they didn't run it through all gears to get the fluid into all the passages.. seem possible? Bear in mind the level was over 2L too low!

Job done, noises gone, no revving between gear changes. I was pretty shocked when I only got just over 1.5 liters of oil out of the 'box, pretty brown it was too. Followed the procedure when refilling and ended up putting the best part of 4 liters back in. No sign of any leaks from the box...

Well I think I've found the problem.. will know more at the weekend when I can get around to doing it. I read a very long thread about checking/renewing fluid in the TD4 auto box, and if the level is too low then 'flaring' between gears occurs and also a growling noise due to the cavitation of...

ah, cheers

as in the pulley rubbing againt summut? The other prob turned out to be the low pressure fuel filter!

So, it all started with the engine swap, now I'm chasing down the new noises.. This one is a whirring/wahwahwahwahwahwah in time with engine speed, at 2000rpm ish and above, worse when warm, with the car stationary as well as movin' Mentioned to the guy who did the engine swap, he reckons the...

Well we got the gaylander back, been running it for a couple weeks or so, had to take it back as there was a pulley noise and a parking sensor playin up, 'some much on the belt' was the reply to the noise, and 'we didn't do anything to the back' about the sensor! what muppets. The pulley has...

Well this is still dragging on, just waiting to hear 'the quote' from the local landy garage near Hitchin, hopefully today. If its a rip-off may have to somehow get it all the way to Cannock for the engine swap!

Woah, thats not far of a major service price on its own

Bugger!

Thats indeedy what I plan to do, especially if the turbo etc are on the replacement engine.

Just spoke to the garage, apparently it still runs.. but very clanky.. death rattle etc.. So hopefully turbo still ok, used engine from the local landy specialist £500, fitting at the local village garage probable (they both know each other so should be fine) maybe £700 fitting.. not as bad as...

Cheers, I'll look them up. The place I've used before is Woodside Garage in Maulden. BTW this engine had only done about 80k miles

Yep I've done engines before, but old-skool classic Volvos and lotuses, never done a modern-ish diesel, also don't have time unfortunately. I'm based near Hitchin, Herts so was thinking get my local independant Landy place to do the work who also can get a used engine apparently.. will speak to...

Satan ****es in my face once again... Its the other half's car, yesterday on the way to work it apparently sounded rough, then conked out, no smoke or anything, and then the hazards wouldn't work either. Got it recovered to the local garage, their diagnosis is it needs a new engine, about...

Once I realised the substantial ally frame was infact the undertray rather than just the plastic, it was pretty simple (except the seized rounded head bolt), the front 2 bolts were tucked under the bumper corners, these could be flexed out of the way easily enuff. Mine's a 2006 TD4

Ah, job done! £50 second hand ebay genuine LandRover/Valeo 150A alt now installed, no more swapping over charged batterys every evening. What a PITA job tho. One seized bolt, so not too bad I suppose, dropped the compressor and coolant pipes for access from underneath, gave just enough room to...

so close.. just went out, found all attachments, freed them off and now left with one rounded-head-seized solid bolt!

guess wot, I'm stoopid. Just seen pics of the 'undertray' and I was thinkin its just the plastic part. So the ally bit is also part of it then. double AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not on mine it aint! been bodged like a goodun
