    Scottish guy has no idea what he wants to buy

    Seriously? X5 is nothing like L322. Just don't buy pre MY2007 L322 as early ones are sh1t Back to topic..... Had both V8 and Diesel P38, both had their problems, but nothing major. Having had the 4.6 V8 I would never go for any other P38. As already stated you only hear of problems on the...

    Just looking for opinions...

    Given the mileage you do, has to be the 5.0SC, TDV8's don't like short journeys or being parked up for long periods

    Freelander 1 2003 TD4 Not starting

    Checked a couple of the voltages, couldn't work out how to test with connectors attached so just checked supply Cam sensor seems to have supply voltage of 12v and Earth. HP Pressure sensor 6v and earth HP Regulator 9v dropping to 7v. Given the readings I don't think any of the cables are...

    Freelander 1 2003 TD4 Not starting

    Just realised I missed something off my previous post. (done an edit) When the engine is cranked the LP goes up to about 400kpa and holds at that until the ignition is turned off, no change on HP side always reads zero

    Freelander 1 2003 TD4 Not starting

    Went with the icarsoft LR2 as it covered my range rover as well as the Freelander. Checked the LP side and it sits at 100 (kpa? no units) until engine is cranked then goes up to 400(kpa? no units) and holds at that until you switch off HP side is showing zero and doesn't change Regulator sits a...

    Freelander 1 2003 TD4 Not starting

    I am sure the AA guy said the LP side was about 300kpa, which is about 43psi. I have checked the electrical connector to the HP pump and the fuel rail regulator and was connected and didn't look corroded. I have only checked visually for damaged/broken cables. need to get my multi-meter out. I...

    Freelander 1 2003 TD4 Not starting

    Hi All Last night my Freelander cut out as I was driving home, luckily it was just as I left the office car park. It will crank over fine but will not start. It is not showing engine management light. Not had any problems with it since I bought her 9 months ago (started fine, no flat spots or...

    L322 OK. Go the new toy, but...

    That's not too bad a list for RR 1) Check your alternator is charging properly, the TDV8 is known for alternators failing. 2) Bosch 808 wiper blades should fit 3) get the TPMS turned off by someone with a decent diagnostic tool or buy one yourself (I have an IID tool diagnostic device). The...

    L322 Advice Needed

    RR are great fro throwing up fault codes, especially lost communication errors. I would see what fault codes reappear (if any) after clearing the existing stored codes.

    L322 Advice Needed

    Yep T91 should work, that's what I have. Below is a link to another site which contains the instructions to program it and a picture of the receiver (in case you want to check is there) http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic5923.html?highlight=t91+pairing

    L322 Advice Needed

    On a VSE it was standard fit, there is a remote receiver module behind the fuse panel in the driver side rear of the RR. The remote needs to be programmed, but that is not too difficult as I have done it myself. Will look up the code for the remote and the programming procedure and post it...

    L322 Advice Needed

    You should have a FBH on the TDV8, if you don't have the remote fob for the FBH you can buy one on flea-bay and easily program it. You can also activate it from the centre touch screen, think it is called park heater. You can also set it to come on at a specific time in the morning. If your...

    Freelander 1 Crank oil seal leaking

    @4x4Dog, speedi sleeve looks interesting, I think I will need to do some reading on it @guineafowl21, ran the engine with the oil cap off, and there didn't seem to be any excess pressure or change is the frequency of oil drips. I am leaning towards crank damage as previous owner has done some...

    L322 Air suspension inactive - help

    The website claims it will work. I have an IID tool from GAP diagnostics and that does cover EAS, but is more expensive. May be worth a quick look under your RR to check height sensors are still connected up properly (both electrical connections and the bars to the suspension arms). Make sure...

    Freelander 1 Crank oil seal leaking

    not familiar with 1.8 PCV myself, but I am not aware of the 1.8 having same issues as TD4. Would crank case pressure force oil out via the crankshaft? Yes seals are fitted dry and I have a tool to protect the seal from the crank when it is fitted. I can see a mark on the crank, but can't feel a...

    Freelander 1 Crank oil seal leaking

    Genuine LR oil seal fitted, after running engine for 15 minutes, oil started dripping again. So that is 3 oil seals and still can't get this fixed. Anyone got any suggestions, not sure it is worth changing the oil seal again. Could it be the mark on the crank or the oil pump?

    L322 Considering getting me a V8

    If you buy an L322 for £6/7k you will either be buying someone problems of high miles, neither of which will make it cheap to run. Post 2006 facelift models are more reliable than the early ones, but you will not find one for your budget. If you are handy with a set of spanners and buy a...

    Sounds like flat battery to me. Once you get it charged up and restarted check the alternator is charging the battery
