Freelander 1 Another Power Loss Thread (SORTED)

[Tiny1000]

2001 TD4 with the filter under the bonnet (important) - I'm limited to about 2000 revs unless I disconnect the plug on top of the under bonnet fuel filter, then I'm back to full revs but I MIL light on (no fault registered while plugged in) - I've changed both low pressure fuel pumps and filter, she runs as good as gold unplugged (running for 10 months like this) - Do anybody know what's in the fuel filter cap as I think this is hopefully causing the problem.

Tank breather may be blocked

But if that was the case would it still run ok with the fuel filter unplugged?

I thought the only thing in the fuel filter was a resistor to check for water in the diesel? First off, buy another and try that, other than that, I'd guess at a dodgy bit of wiring? Possibly, strange one that. Mike

The fuel filter housing looks to be the same as on the Rover 75 diesel M47 engine but please make sure yourself first few links below,

Thanks Artic2 - Ordered

Thanks lads...It was the housing...

Inside there was a small circuit board with a sensor on it...

The sensor inserted into a hole in the filter housing.

Not too sure which part failed (suspect the probe part that inserted into the filter housing might be blocked). But all sorted now

Excellent outcome and thank you for sharing the photo's, sorry I could not let you have my spare, I always try to keep certain spares, mainly sensors and fuel pumps etc, Arctic2

Under £11 so can't moan one of the cheapest fixes so far.....Thanks again
