Hello

[Kollen Tembo]

I have a td4- BMW engine imported from UK. Its giving me problems, when it arrived it was serviced but unfortunately the mechanic only removed the original Crankcase breather filter and replaced it with a smaller size. I am not sure if that is the source of my problem, few months down the line the car just stopped, and it failed to restart completely. Solutions were offered by the way of replacing most censors, ie airflow censor, Crankshaft censor but nothing changed. Another mechanic proposed replacement of rings saying compression is low, but after buying the rings I decided to have a 2nd opinion on it and I got a different view which suggested that it might be fuel regulator. So Before I make the decision to buy the regulator, I thought I may get advice from this forum. As it stands it only cranks without starting, if I put quick start it starts and as soon as it is finished it switches off. Please help

Welcome to lz, mate! I have a few friends in Zim, but they mostly drive land cruisers!

I would guess that engine is for a freelander? Might be an idea to post about it in the freelander section if so.
