My approach was not to mess with lathe, welding and all. I made 2 opposite holes, threaded them M8, copper plate and stainless cap. Let it drain (weeks).. Filled with thinner, rotated with wrench, drained. Summer long job, but meanwhile prop off and 2wd. There is video online, with pump...

Hi Gain. First, you should use english for better communication here. Second, I did that with success. Bought 200ml from ebay, 100000cst. Used cca 120ml. Inside, mabe 100+ml, you cannot tell the waste in the pump. Is working nice in snow, rear pulls in a second or two of front slipping. Beware...

Gentlemen, I know is a bit late for this thread, but I fixed mine also. Two 8mm threaded holes with ss bolts with copper gaskets. The goo came instant out (like in one video on the web) and the VCU stayed on a bucket a few weeks. After the output was too thin, I put inside silicone thinner (used...

Update: replaced tank pump with Magneti Marelli, same make as lift pump. After good seconds of priming with buble sounds it fired as allways. Notes: 1. Can confirm the non oem lift pump is noisy. 2. The rubber gasket for the tank pump have to be put back before the pump. 3. There still is a soft...

Gentlemen, do you have to bleed the fuel system after filter and pump replacement? I did repalce both (because of increasing noise of the original Pierburg one - 200k km) and now the pump spins over 10 sec till stop and the car do not start. Delphi diagnose says fuel pressure sensor. I repeat...

Update: Apparently the car ran with only the lift pump working. Tank pump is not working, but the fuel line remained full and the system worked. Considering the above, a cheap fix would be to put a manual rubberball fuel pump before the lift pump to ensure input for it till start.

Thank you, I read the links and it appears that pscan is the best option for my car. I-ll make my budget on this one!

Thank you. So nothing should be left unseen. Any chance on new key / fob programming?

Ok, but they are different makes, and I do not know if pscan reads all variants. I really want a complete tool. Had experience with Carsoft on Merc, it saw only engine, cluster and 2 more, not live data, not transmission, etc.

Hi Rob, is 2002 TD4 manual, M47 engine thank you!

It is not about pscan, is about the type of different ECUs in my car. Pscan has a list of ECUs on their site and I do not know if I qualify (sort of).

Dear gentlemen, where can I find the types of ECU-s in my car? pscan.uk offers diagnose for Freelander, on different types of ECU. I-m trying to find a diagnose system capable to see all the systems in the car and should know the names of ECU-s before buy. Pleas help! Stefan

Yes, you're right, looks ok now. It's pulling ok beyond 2000rpm. But, (allways a but) there is a wroum sound around 2k rpm, when stepping harder, sometimes a whinning after 2k. It does'nt sound quite right, I do not have experience with the corect sound of a turbo, so cannot compare it. It is...

Some info. Copper colour is copper spray for rust protection. Turbo bits were in citric acid solution for efficient derusting, then zinc sprayed. Big thanks for the kind people which helped! Hugely appreciated, I think I would'nt have done it with out your support!

Final update. Solved. At least at the ramp test. Actuator was replaced with original (Pierburg), at idle is working (unplug vacuum, lever goes at rest position). No smoke. Looking 4ward for road test.

Allready started, everything out, looking good inside. A bit hard to open, but knoked around with a piece of aluminium finaly done. Gaskets to come, pieces in bath for derusting. Hope the lever will free from chemical reaction.

So, you suggest I dismantle it and try to clean and release the lever, instead of runing to a specialized shop? I have a recomended guy, prices start from cca 110 pounds.

Update. Turbo off, ird on! Rotor is spining free, but has a small radial play. I assume it should be refurbished. Not a problem with rust when dismantling bits. Got luck.
