Welcome fellow member from up my neck of the woods

It sounds like a problem with fuel starvation of some sort

Try cleaning the Injectors would be my guess!

injectors are gunked up

or even fuel pump or blocked fuel filter when the ignition is on can you hear the pump running.

Welcome fellow Scot

Sounds like a fuel pump issue. Very common fault

i can hear the fuel pump in the back working is there any tests i can do for the high pressure one and whats easiest way to check and clean the injectors

Do a leak back test on the injectors.

ok guys got the freelander started today its not revving all the time then it struggles to rev at all ,sounds chappy,think its only ticking over on 3 cylinders, no 1 injector is leaking at cylinder head seat, and it bellows smoke out the exhaust and oil coming out bottom of dipstick

have you check breather under plastic cover behind injectors ,its either that or buggered piston,head gasket etc thats blowing oil out of dipstick

when i struck oil from my dipstick it was 100% crank case breather, do your self a favour and fit the bmw vortex breather thingymajig.... 30 quid ish. that's that problem. then get on with the injectors pal.

I have a set of 4 good injectors, going for much cheapness

i will try and get another go at it today if i can disco mikey pm me price please and thanks for the replys folks

If you have oil from the dip-stick that is a 100% sure sign that you have a blocked crankcase breather.

As said - you need to get the BMW part - ASAP before anything else.

Ignoring this advice will hurt your wallet.

Good luck.

Haud forrit ma loon!

Yes it is - but I can't tell if that is the genuine BMW part or a copy.

From any BMW parts dept the cost is 23.35 inc VAT - might be safer.

you got the bmw part number please and thanks
