check out the fuel system , possible fuel pump related issue , if you can identify the hissing that might help

as freelance says , try tapping the starter, let us know how it goes

welcome , as teddywood 1 s comments , the hub must be free to move, or you will knacker the ird/gb bearing if you are pressing the drive shaft out of the hub as i imagineand it is free to move , the fact that you snapped the shaft you may have a burr where it snapped off, might just need a...

welcome , it would be a good idea to introduce yourself to the loonyzone or you will get some flack :D a few things will prevent the td4 from starting , 1, if you are not getting fuel pressure at ignition switch on , measured at the common rail pressure sensor you could have a fouled fuel...

ned25 , would have been up for that , but im working all day, are you planning another trek soon ?

could be the conection at the fuel rail sensor, take off and clean , you might get lucky

yes , problematic when the sensor gets warmed,but nothing is ever certain , could be an intermittent fault, you have a choice, you can suffer continual uncertain starting problems or start to eliminate known problems, i think the camshaft sensor is about £40 takes 10 mins to fit. or take it...

good post joe,great pics, very helpfull , we need more like this

possibly the cam shaft sensor, they have a habit of going oc when warm

its the connector for the erg vacuum solenoid, in your pic it shows you have an erg bypass fitted, so connector wont be needed,

:welcome2: to the mad house ,dont be put off by the barking dogs tyres,,,, i have only ever fitted goodyear wranglers, as these were the ones on when i bought it , they suit my needs, and last ones cost £75 each fitted,

too much money and time on your hands :D

if you want to spend your money on changing oil, carry on , but its not nessasary, just check the oil levels at regular intervals, its a freelander not an f1 racer , dose anyone ever bother to change the brake fluid ? or power steering fluids ?

maybe a couple of glow plugs are u/s, more noticable in this cold weather

most likely camshaft sensor

go back to the fuel filter and check you have got the sensor plug connected correctly, you may have incorectly plugged it back in , try reversing the plug

another thing to bear in mind , second hand spares are relatively cheap and plentiful for the td4 and usually a day or two for delivery, so you are unlikely to be stuck for very long

gary , your not nuts, if this is something that would make you feel more at ease then go ahead and do it , i recently replaced my td4 engine 110k miles, as the crank had snapped, , replaced with an engine from ebay £500, and is running as good as ever, the original engine was stripped, no...

snapped cranks are not as rare as you might think, a guy on ebay was breaking his motor for as it happened to him
