Thanks Nodge68 My first though was coil pack, that's why I have tried 3 coils, but no difference. Compression test was done on a warm engine, I think that can raise compressions, but will give it another test with a cold engine. Don't have the kit to test the fuel pressure, but will maybe see...

Hi all I have an intermittent engine management light, flashes at revs over 2500 with no engine load My code reader is showing codes misfire on cylinders 1 and 4 I am struggling to fix the problem I had to change the head gasket due to low compression, I now have compression of 180-200 on...

I thought glow plug relay myself, but can't find any reference to its location. Any idea where it is hidden

Hi All I have a strange starting issue that has just started When I turn on the ignition the glow plug light flashes at about the same pace as an indicator. If I start the engine while the glow plug light is flashing the TC, ABS and HDC light remain on, but Freelander starts no problem. If I...

First TDV8's will probably be 56 plates (MY2007). The alternators are only good for about 80k miles, but is it a DIY job to change if you are handy with the spanners. There have been a few cases of turbo failure and EGR problems, but not that many. However RR sports do like to lunch the...

;) had a few P38's in the past, they are good, but don't have enough electrics to break :)

If you want a cheap 4x4 with luxury, go for a P38. This forum is more for p38 and classic owners and you will get some good advice on P38 ownership There is another forum out there for the L332 or Fullfatrr.com . The L322 is a great vehicle and far superior to the p38, but does cost more to run...

All TD6 had the GM box. Unfortunately the box is not really that robust, they normally need a rebuild at about 100k miles unless very well looked after. The TDV8's all had ZF gearboxes which is a stronger box and can go well past 200k miles if services regularly

Are the fuel pressure sensors detecting fuel pressure, If the ECU is not getting a reading from the High pressure sensor it will shut off the injectors to stop them operating dry. best way to get exhaust off the turbo is either a long extension through the wheel well or when doing the clutch...

The OE tow bar is the same as the one in the attached picture in the quote below. To fit the OE tow bar you need to remove the bracket you have photographed and the same bracket on the other side of the car. The legs on the OE tow bar replace the brackets. NB the 2002-2006 tow bar has a...

Turbo's on TDV8 can be done without body off, engine out or sub frame being dropped, but it is easier to do the one on the left bank with the sub frame dropped. Turbo failure is normally accompanied by EGR failure. I would get fault codes read to see if there are any codes that indicate any...

Have you checked the turbo is OK?

Had brake failure twice, once was a front to rear brake pipe at the rear flexi hose and once was a wheel cylinder. In both cases the pedal went to the floor, but the dual circuit brakes did stop the Freelander, but felt like it took 3 times the distance to stop

The important thing for me at the moment is the lights stay off until I can get a MOT (due by 15th). Maybe the lights go off after a certain number of ignition cycles if the fault does not reoccur?

Had the codes read and cleared today. 2 faults were shown before the reset. Front right ABS sensor and Shuttle valves. I have replaced the ABS sensor since the light came on so that was fixed. Once cleared the ABS light stayed off. So my assumption is either I have an intermittent fault on the...

Think it is time for the fault codes to be read and cleared. If it is the ABS modulator, hopefully one of my 'spares' Freelander will have the same modulator. If I can't get codes read tomorrow, I will try testing the ABS sensors for voltage

been a long day :( , how do I test with a DMM? and what voltages an I looking for

What is the DMM? do I need T4 or Hawkeye to check the voltages on the DMM or can I use my multi meter?

Hi all I have had the 3 amigo's on the L-series for a couple of months, tested it and found front right sensor was duff so replaced it. but cant get the 3 amigo's to disappear. So far checked brake switch - 2 wire type all 4 abs sensors read about 920 to 950 ohms checked all the reluctor...

I assume you have cleared the fault and it has come back. Do you have the standard or the adaptive headlights?
