My 2003 Freelander TD4 wont start anymore - if i remove the air inlet and use a bit of startspray the engine will come on and work fine until i switch it off.
As soon as the engine runs the car is driving like it always did and i have no loss of power or other difficulties except the starting issue.
Now i have been to the LR Dealer and they told me that the primary high pressure pump is broken as it only reaches 50 bar pressure - now in the manual of the td4 it says that the system need 200 bar for starting and 300 bar for the system to run smooth in idle - if the primary high pressure pump is broken and only achieves 50 bar (300 are needed for smooth idle) then why can the system work fine in idle and in running mode?!
Also how difficult is it to replace the Primary High Pressure Pump as it is driven by the chain of the engine?!
Sorry for bothering you but i dont know where else to go and unfortunately i have had some issues with the mentioned LR Dealer regarding the replacement of other parts in the past. (new injectors and wiring loom for over 600 pounds and all that was needed to do was to clean the EGR Valve)
Thanks a lot!!!
