when I replaced the chassis on my 1983 110 some 18 years ago I was horrified by the state of the top of it , the part you cannot see because the body is in the way, you could poke your fingers through it !! It would be worth checking the condition of the chassis overall before spending too much...

had the same problem with my last and the current FL and a set of recon injectors sorted it out

this is a well known problem affecting some TD4 engines, it is known as the 2k misfire as it usually comes in at around 2000 revs, my last TD4 was fine for the first year then it started the misfire exactly as you describe. There is no known cure you just have to live with it but I did find it...

there are 4 heater plugs ,be very careful if you try to remove them as they are not very robust and will snap off if too much torque is applied , it is best to get the engine really hot before trying to remove them. My current td4 had the dreaded smoking problem, white smoke is unburned diesel...

Thanks for the reply Nodge, I am used to older less efficient engines that get hotter, nice to know that this is normal

thanks for the reply, the heater was on but not fully and obviously sucking what little heat there was in the cooling system, I found it very strange that after a long run the radiator hoses were so cool I am used to older less efficient engines

after a 30 mile run in near freezing temperature, out of curiosity I felt the lower radiator hose and to my amazement it was stone cold and the upper hose was not that hot ,you could hold your hand on it without getting uncomfortable. The thermostat was replaced recently by a genuine part and...

My FL1 TD4 fuel consumption depends on the ambient temperature, in the winter it averages around 42mpg and in the summer if it is very hot weather I can get 47 mpg and in average summer weather 45 is nearer the mark, impressive for a fairly heavy vehicle

I started with 1.5K and ended up at 1.8K which seemed to do the trick unless it was very hot then the dreaded misfire would come back erratically. When it started after about a year of ownership I was really worried that something horrible was about to happen until I found this amazing forum and...

just to confirm that you have to put a 1.8k resistor in series with the existing AIT sensor resistor so it will involve cutting the AIT resistor lead and soldering the new 1.8k resistor in series with it,the theory is that if the engine ECU is receiving info from the AIT telling it that the air...

my last FL1 started the 2K misfire after some 6 months of ownership,only did it when the air temperature was above 12 degrees always OK in winter . I reasoned that it had something to do with fueling , the M47 is a lean burn engine and it seemed that it was running even leaner in warm weather...

I have had this problem with the last FL1 and now with the current one bought 2 weeks ago, if the weather is hot, starting is fine but otherwise I get a lumpy idle with some white smoke which sorts itself out in 10seconds or so , The reason is probably a lazy peizo element in an injector which...

when the FL came out us local LR addicts were agast I really hated it ,it was so different to the other LR vehicles . My favorite is the 12 seater, my 110 has been to the Lake District 5 times from Essex but her indoors was finding the lack of suspension a bit trying so being a LR nut we went...

TD4 2004 185.000 and still sounds good
