    Bosch refurbished injectors, surely they can't be faulty in less than 2 hours?

    Freelander 1 TD4 warm start problems

    So my problem is back, won't start when warm. Today I've replaced the other 3 injectors and the glow plugs as 3 were duff. To recap I've done the following: Replaced HP pump with a refurbished unit Replaced all the injectors bought from a Bosch specialist Replaced cam sensor Diagnostic shows...

    Freelander 1 TD4 Model year 2000

    I had exactly the same issue. Turned out it was an injector, it was leaking that badly when warm the rail struggled to get up to pressure meaning the car took an age to start. Do a leak off test to confirm one or more bad injectors.

    Freelander 1 TD4 warm start problems

    Picked up the refurbished injector today, couldn't wait so fitted it when I got home at 5:30. Took 45 minutes from start to finish and that was with using a head torch lol. Car now starts first time and much smoother idle. I've done about 300 miles today and started the job with a hot engine...

    Freelander 1 TD4 warm start problems

    The diesel specialist agree the faulty injector is the one leaking the most. Picking it up today, hopefully it'll be straight forward to do.

    Freelander 1 TD4 warm start problems

    Thanks Nodge, the pump is a recon unit and the poor starting was present with the old pump, hopefully it's not the pump. Spoke to a Bosch specialist who are reconditioning an injector for me, will pick it up tomorrow and get it fitted hopefully curing the problem

    Freelander 1 TD4 warm start problems

    Hi all not been on for a while. Got a problem with my TD4 taking forever to start when warm. The HP fuel pump was leaking like a good un so I replaced this thinking I'd kill two birds with one stone. The pump is no longer leaking as expected but the warm start problem is still apparent. I...

    Freelander 1 SRS light reset North Wales

    Morning all, not been on for ages. Freelander is going well, just past MOT with no issues. The SRS light has come on, seems to do it every 6 months or so. Just wondering if anyone lives near North Wales that can reset the light for a few beer tokens before I buy an Icarsoft I930 Cheers Simon

    Freelander 1 Upgraded interior lights

    Evening all, just thought I'd show the results of my interior light upgrade. I'm a field engineer and at this time of year being in a field at 3 in the morning ain't much fun as it is. With the crap original lights making finding stuff difficult I decided to upgrade. I bought this kit...

    Power steering box freelander 2

    Also make sure they are using the correct Land Rover fluid, it is dark green, what colour is the fluid in there now?

    Power steering box freelander 2

    Get them to drain the system and change the reservoir. The filter will be blocked and simply changing the fluid will displace some of the crud for a while. It will then clog the filter again causing the issues you are having.

    Power steering box freelander 2

    No it doesn't. There was an issue on early models where the pump would prematurely fail due to weld splatter in the rack. The bits of weld get ground up by the pump which in turn slowly blocks the the filter in the reservoir, this then restricts the flow of PAS fluid causing heavy steering and...

    weird noise from engine

    Fuel burning heater? Mine makes a wirring noise when shutting down. Check under the passenger side bumper near the wheel, if there is a small exhaust you have a FBH. Didn't think they were fitted to 06 cars though.

    Freelander 1 Strut mount

    So, job in progress. Near side strut replaced, the track rod end ball joint didn't want to come out, eventually removed with a bit of brute force! Does anyone have a part number for the white bump stop that sits on top of the shock, mines goosed. Cheers
