Oh no! There is nothing in the RAVE about the SDR! LOLOL What have I done!

Fitted a new aftermarket MAF officially 100% sorting the Freelander in this particular moment in time. EVERYTHING WORKS! recon VCU, recon injectors, new heated screen, aircon, new brake lines, new tyres, new bushes, aftermarket parking sensors with the correct angle kit, MG mirror mod, sun...

Just my 2 cents. Solved my problem. With maf plugged in I had hesitation before turbo kick in - quite dangerous sometimes as car felt like I am towing an elephant when trying to pull out. Run sweet with unplugged but knocked badly when cold and throttle was requested - read here somewhere that...

Hello - just to close the thread. In the end 4 reman Lucas injectors went in and that has cured the puff of grey smoke on start-up and the missing at 1000rpm. No smoke now, no miss seems to run fine - now only the MAF is to be fixed. No cylinder imbalance code. So unfortunately Gentlemen -...

Hello Nodge, Sorry to hijack this. My MAF is unplugged at the moment and I get -40C for temp but the MAF reading is still there. Fluctuates in the 400-500+ range - is this normal? Should it be a N/A or a solid/emergency figure? I have a code for both MAF and IAT but the scanner sees a value...

Hi everyone. Ok so the garage did the test with me there. The mechanic has installed 4 x 25cm or so rigid pipes on top of the injectors. Cranked and started for literally 2 seconds and injector 2 tube was full and spraying out of the top! The remaining tubes had all 4/5mm of diesel in them. We...

Hi Arctic2, will ask them to test before changing anything. Injectors were £140 each including vat and they want the old units back. I am spraying penetrant on everything since Saturday morning so hopefully Labour will be reasonable but I am fearing £1000 all in :mad:

I am just going to have to trust the garage to have my best interest in mind and not just throw the parts in and then realise it wasn't that. It is a lot of money but if it fixes it I don't mind as much! Will update.

Hello Nodge. OMG I was hoping you would respond - you are a legend - I have read many of your posts and learned LOADS from you. Smells like diesel exhaust but CONCENTRATED really strong and pungent. When the ron box was on it stung your eyes almost. One guy asked if I am running on waste chip...

Hello Guys, Quick one. Please can someone confirm before I spend £1000 on new injectors on Wednesday. 2004 FL1 TD4 with 135K Manual. Runs sweet but STINKS of exhaust and on cold engine if kept at 1000 revs will misfire slightly and smokes white/grey/blueish smoke. Feels nice and quick, decent...

Hi you need to make sure that the car you got the ccu from is the same spec as yours. It is basically a body computer so if you have a 5 door and got ccu from a 3 door it would not know that the rear windows exist ect. What were your initial problems?

Mondo alright for time being - understeer not noticeable - in fact there is a certain place I frequent where one has to almost do a hairpin turn into a junction and I have noticed that the car was pushing me towards the curb with the rear drive but that could have been a result of tight VCU. No...

Thanks Arctic2 - pretty sure halfords sells the ones on the right. I will get them on the way home. Had a proper look today - looks pretty simple job. One more thing. If I want to change to the Norma clips later are both the Halfords ones and the Normas "openable"? Can they be wound out, put...

Hello Alteredtech, Sorry didn't see your reply. Yeah - I think a length of fuel line is the preffered option. Thank you for confirming.

Hello Nodge, Thanks for coming back to me - so just replacing this like for like with fuel line should be ok? Measured the steel line - 8mm. Got 7mm and 8mm fuel line from Halfords and some of the spring clamps or constant tension clamps on amazon. I really don't rate the worm clamps but maybe...

Hello Guys, Not sure if this is how one is supposed to make posts on here. I have a 2004 TD4 manual. I have noticed a puddle of diesel under the passenger side front - determined that it is the 90 degree bend from a rubber line to a stainless hard line. It is at a junction of fuel lines...

Hello Guys, Yes - prop is out. Funny enough I have been told that the bearings are new and I assumed someone checked the VCU when they were replacing them. Bearings didn't make any noise as I can't hear the driveline being any more quiet than when the prop was in but for peace of mind the...

Hi Guys, Not sure if even relevant any more but... Meant to do this for couple of weeks now but didn't think the VCU will be bad as car was quite light on its feet etc. Until a week ago when I got stuck in mud and had to work the car hard for 5 minutes to get myself out - airing down and all -...

Grateful and happy as pigs in sh1tte :)))

Wow. Took 2 days at work to go through 65 pages. There was fear of this mystical VCU, there was a theory, a test was developed, a call to the populous was hailed, there was a Hero with a Bell who seems to have been quietly dethroned and a LOT of TLDR - I mean screen size posts talking about...
