Hello from Canarias, I know the company Diesel Fix from Neuss and can confirm that they work properly there. The injectors from the TD4 (by the way, they are also used in the 6-cylinder Opel DTI with BMW engine) are very easy to repair and overhaul. The nozzles and needles are very cheap to...

You can just lock the pump. Then remove the pump. Then remove the head. And then lock the flywheel later when reassembling.

And yes it is very important to lock the flywheel (crankshaft) when mounting the cylinder head. When the cylinder head is removed, you can easily reach the locking hole from above.

The hole in the flywheel marks the crankshaft position Top dead centre This has nothing to do with the camshaft. Only the toothed belt creates the connection

To remove the pump, it doesn't matter at first. You must lock the pulley of the pump with the dowel pin at about 12 o'clock. Then the two camshaft markings on the other side should match. Next, the pump is locked in place.

Hello, I don't understand exactly what you mean. Do you use a translator? Then just make short sentences. They translate better. It is possible that the crankshaft mark of the flywheel is rotated 180° to the camshaft. That is not a problem. The important thing is that the camshaft marking...

Thanks for the info. Can I change the axial bearings from below without removing the crankshaft?

The error is found. The axial play of the crankshaft is borderline approx. 0.28mm. According to the workshop manual, however, there should only be 0.003 -0.26mm. So I first ground down a sensor a little and installed it deeper (i.e. closer to the flywheel) with a spring. The spring ensures that...

On the Freelander up to 2000, a rubber bearing was attached to the body with 2 screws. At that time, the world was still okay in terms of price. But then came the hydro bearing----- I don't know where the hydro is (a broken one from a slaughtered vehicle was also simply rubber) but if LR thinks...

Hello, Well, then it can only be the strut bearing (Shock Absorber Mounting Front Top FL1 RNX100101) or the shock absorber. The shock absorbers are not so easy to recognise as defective. However, the tube of the McPerson shock absorbers can also be severely worn out without oil loss. Various...

I have now decided to install a replacement motor from the scrap. I had already rebuilt the high pressure pump from this engine but it did not change the stuttering. Basically, the engine makes a good impression, even though I don't know how many kilometres it has run. Anyway, today I removed...

In my case, the front rubber (NR 6 in the picture) had play in the aluminium bushing. I had it pressed in again, but the fit of the bushing was probably not good. Then I had a problem with the right engine bearing (hydral bearing). It was not properly screwed into the bodywork because a special...

Hola, I don't see very many possibilities now. In any case, I will replace the cable and test it. In an engine talk forum I found the plausible explanation that BMW only uses the upper half-shell of a single crankshaft bearing as a thrust bearing in many engines. This seems to lead to a lot of...

Hola, Yes, it's true, the Rover 2.0Di doesn't die that quickly. But I think at 300,000 km you can only really fight the smoking with new bearings, piston rings and shaft seals. After the experience with my L-series, it now seems that the axial bearing of the crankshaft is actually causing...

Hola, we rent the vehicles only as a supplement for our house guests. The Freelander 1 Convertible is pretty much the last 4x4 SUV with a removable hardtop. Until about 1995 there were some from Suzuki, Daihatsu, Mitsubishi or Opel Frontera with short wheelbase and removable roof. But that is...

Hola, Well, the injection pumps can have some defects. This VP37 is also installed in many VW and Audi vehicles. https://community.dieselschrauber.org On this page you will find many instructions. Repair of the flow divider. Replace the pressure springs. Various seals. etc. Saludos Michael

Hola, I feel the same way. The first pump I changed was a Pierburg. I bought it specially in Germany and took it with me to Fuerte. The pump noise was terrible. The Bosch I ordered from Autodoc was a bit quieter. Then I installed a Pierburg from the Mercedes G400 (has to be rebuilt a bit). It...

I have been reading here for some time now and am very enthusiastic about the expertise of the forum participants. Now I have a problem with my Freelander 2.0Di L-Series that I don't know what to do with. At around 2700 rpm the rev counter twitches upwards and then the engine starts to stutter...

Hello from the Canary Island of Fuerteventura. We have been living here in Tindaya/Fuerte for a few years now. When many car rental companies reduced their fleets in 2020, it was difficult for us as small holiday rental companies in the countryside to rent out. So we looked around for a...
