Just bought a sat nav with fm transmitter to play mp3's and hand free calls through the car stereo but am experiencing a high pitch sound have done some research and it would appear it has something to do with grounding any help sorting this out would be great (i have no idea what grounding is).

What happens if you unplug the power supply to the egr solenoid. Would it stay closed or upset the ecu/throw up a fault code. Just because when you block the vac pipe the ecu still tries to open the EGR and expects to get a different MAP reading combined with the MAF reading. Dont really know...

Seem to have an issue with the glow plugs not thinking its cold enough. Thought the glow plugs were faulty so changed them as well as the ECT sensor. but this did not solve my problem. I have also changed the glow plug relay in the e box. The light on the dash is working as it comes on with...

Replaced a bulb in the light cluster on the rear bumper for the sidelight as it had blown. Since then i have noticed that the brake light by the spare wheel illuminates when the side/dipped/main lights are on. it still works as a brake light when the lights are off but i dont think it gets...

Bought myself a 2001 freelander TD4 commercial as i think they look great and have wanted one since i was 12 years old. Been driving the thing about and it is horrendously slow. i have owned some pretty bad cars in my time but the only thing that comes close to being this slow was an 850cc 1974...

I am due an MOT and dreading the smoke test Previous test result (before i bought it. No EGR bypass) 1.46 the limit is 1.5 anyone know what their smoke test results were. Mines a 2001 with 126,000 miles. will post back with latest figure after MOT.

Having spent hours and hours looking under my bonnet and at photos on forums trying to solve a smoke and misfire that only happens when cold between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm, I noticed that the pipe on the rh side of the inter cooler has quite a winding route to the inlet manifold. Looking at the BMW...

Ok so i bought my y reg TD4 in June probably paid to much for it. First thing i did was give it a service, used castrol magnatec 5/30 and brit part filters. At the same time changed the pcv to the bmw cyclone type and cleaned out egr and air box. Stupidly i overfilled with oil, tried to put the...

Recently bought my first TD4 (previously owned 1.8). After servicing i noticed that when you rev it to 2000rpm i got huge amounts of blue smoke. I changed the crank case breather for BMW cyclone so im sure its not the breather valve. I had overfilled with oil (tried to put 6.5 liters in without...

After bypassing my EGR I noticed that the inlet manifold had about 10mm of sludge inside it. I have been looking at ways to clean it and came across some people using brake fluid. I have also heard of people using brake fluid to de-coke the engine, by pouring it into the air intake or...

Sorry if this sound like a stupid question but, is there some way of cleaning inside the cylinders without taking the engine apart? I recently bought a TD4 freelander commercial and was advised by a friend that i should change the pcv valve, so i changed it for bmw replacement then i looked...

Hi everyone, just wanted to say how much of a great forum this is. I recently bought my 3rd freelander (now on a TD4 after owning K and L series) and as a non member the forum has helped solved problems with all three. So i thought i would join to say thanks. just wondered what other members...
