I fitted the V6 propshaft in the end, as it seemed to be in the best condition of all the propshafts that I have. I stuck some tape on the shaft both sides of the VCU and moved the car about 50 metres. The tape still lined up. Also it's...

yes most of the ECUs are on the same diagnostic line, so, even though the 16 pin socket is inside the passenger compartment you will be able to find the wire on the engine ECU and create your own 16 pin socket in the engine compartment. Very clever.

thank you, but I think I will be able to find one locally, so please don't worry.

yes I saw that. It's an Italian disc. I don't know if it will work in English. I messaged them but they don't respond.

Sorry double replied

The diagnostics protocol can't tell which passenger door is open, as far as I know. Maybe it's a common wire for all three doors. It only knows drivers door or the others.

I now have some more Freelander 1 ECUs to reverse engineer:- Instrument cluster Diesel burning heater V6 cruise control ECU. For the TD4 it appears to be built into the engine ECU, at least from a diagnostics point of view.

I went to see Andy at AP Motors today, I don't think he's on here. He's based near High Wycombe. Anyway he is prepping for sale a Facelift TD4 auto and what's interesting is:- It's in nice condition It's a HSE with I think must have every...

I'm interested in this. I dropped a known good IRD and damaged the casing so one day might want to move the internals to the casing from a bad IRD.

The BBS fellow is unlikely to help me as I'm competing with him.

1.7kph when stationary is normal. I think that this is the "slowest" speed that it can sense. The diagnostic protocol gets cut off above a certain speed, for "health and safety" reasons. The ABS is not actually functioning when the diagnostic...

I have the T4 disc Freelander 35, but it doesn't have (as far as I can see) the capability to get onto Freelander 1 cruise control, and I temporarily have access to a Freelander 1 with cruise control, so I need this disc quickly, if anyone knows...

I'd love to read that if someone happens to have it and a scanner

Hello everyone! Finally I have good news: My Freelander is back on the road! The only problem was actually the large fuse 120A from the alternator. Nothing else broke. I had no chance to get the fuse here. That's why I had to order it. When you...

Hi I am aware of a green plug for Testbook T4 with part number DTC0062B. Anyone know what it's actually for? thanks

It's way, way stronger than the spindly thing that the previous owner was using to tow their horsebox.

yes I'm aware that actually towing something with this on a public road is probably illegal as it's not type approved

I can only think either electrical noise or vibration.

I now have this working and I believe I know what happened. Rimmer Bros sell two sensors. YDB500311PMAP which has a right angle connector, and which Rimmers sold me as the "outer" sensors. YDB500301PMAP which has a straight connector, and which...

Today I found a hill steep enough to test the hill descent and it works! Forwards and backwards.

Manual: it's all powered through the gearbox switch, very simple. Auto: powered by a relay which is triggered (from memory) by the Jatco ECU.

Mine did a thing a few days ago that freaked me out. It started this thing that it would crank and fire but would only fire for half a second or so and then die. I put it on jump leads and then it ran but it's been in the back of my mind ever...

I'm thinking that I'll have to try another module before I condemn the new sensors and return them

Yes they do.

oh, and ignition on it works ignition on and connected to another vehicle that's running with jump leads, it works engine running, doesn't work It's very strange

Two more sensors arrived today from Rimmer Bros and I fitted them, so now all four sensors are new. The thing is, with ignition on but engine not running, the system sort of works, but the middle ones do sod all.

yes that fuse powers a lot of different things on the car, so it very likely that this is your problem

I believe that the alternator is connected to the battery via a 150 amp "maxi fuse". Maybe that fuse has blown? To me this also sounds like a battery problem. A wrench shorting the alternator wire to ground would be an absolutely massive...

There's a couple of outstanding things that I would value peoples opinions on. 1. Because the engine is now maybe 30mm higher than stock, I had to extend the downpipe a bit so that it would clear the transmission. However maybe I didn't quite...

The factory parking sensors on our our Freelander 1 were not working. I could only hear a ticking noise from two of them so ordered two replacements. I have now fitted the two new sensor but now the reversing sensors work if the engine isn't...
