New Freelander 1 Scariest Nightmare

Free_LanderMoonMission · Sep 23, 2023

Hi all Freelander, i am a new owner of Freelander 1 TD4 2005 Auto 2.0, just practically bought it last month. In need of serious Help.
1. Bought the car and crankshaft pulley breaks on 2nd day. Tow to LD specialist.
Change new pulley and timing belt altogether.

Sounds like you're all fixed. Did you buy private?

2. Got the Car from LD specialist. 2nd day Radiator hose burst at midnite(Long Distance Drive). Call emergency mechanic to replace temporary mod hose. send to another garage the next day, the steel pipe are burst, weld and change damage hoses.

3. Convinced already all are set. Toon another drive with family and the upper radiator coolant to engine burst. with no garage in sight and no specialist or mechanic available. Started to become one.

Straight to home and then fix it properly. and bow the car wont start at all. have to use easy start to run the car. So i am all tears watching the car at home and trying to fix all i can to make it start again.

now it wont start just crank. And i kept reading the threads for a week now for a solution

kermit_rr · Sep 23, 2023

What error codes have you got? By no crank do you mean it fails to turn over at all? Is the battery fully charged?

its fully charged the battery, so far the codes i got was from a tech telling me its low pressure. Check the arch pump and whirring is okay

I'm sure there will be more info than just low pressure.

For example that lift pump in the wheel arch may be making sounds, but might not be supplying enough fuel/pressure - this would be low pressure fuel to low.

It could be an O ring in the regulator for the main fuel pump on the engine is leaking. This supplies high pressure fuel to the injector rail and if it is leaking the high pressure fuel will be to low.

It could just be that the pressure sensor n the injector fuel rail is faulty, or the wiring to it. This is a known problem.

Ideally you have diagnostics device that can show the levels of high and low pressure fuel to determine where the problem lies.

BTW, your engine does not have a timing belt.

That is often a symptom of the fuel pressure regulator O rings allowing fuel to bypass the regulator. It's a common issue on this type of Bosch high pressure fuel pump.

already opened up the cover on engine bay, got diesel leakage

is there any way to service it or have to change the O rings?

is there a way to check the fuel rail and wiring to it, because previously meddled with the back area of radiator coolant hose, might nick the wire while doing that

I think you had better fix your diesel leakage first.
