    I think it would be a TD4 in 2000?

    Do the filter at the same time mate, it's next to the pump.

    Heated front screen retrofit done!

    Takes about a minute too clear the screen. Also useful when it's damp to demist the screen. Bloody brilliant lol.

    Heated front screen retrofit done!

    The pic of the loom shows how simple it is. The cable with the ring on goes to positive battery terminal. The purple and white cables with the white plugs in connect to each side of the screen (just plug in). The earths from the screen bolt on under the scuttle panel, it's obvious where they...

    No problem mate. The pump is located in the drivers side rear wheel arch, wheel and plastic liner will have to come off. A bitch to do apparently, luckily mine was done under warranty. They did fit a cheap one and it is really noisy, genuine ones aren't cheap though...Mine had exactly the same...

    Heated front screen retrofit done!

    Sorry mate you're correct. The PTC has one box, the first box for the heated screen clipped on to it, the other box didn't hence cable tie! One has 3 fuses and the other has a relay. On the loom is a thick +ve cable with ring on the end, there is enough room on the +ve post on the battery to fit...

    I answered this on your other thread mate. It is almost certainly the low pressure fuel pump.

    2000 rpm the limit ?

    Sounds like the low pressure fuel pump is on it's way out. This lives behind the rear drivers side wheel arch. Mine did exactly the same as you describe. If you can, go for a genuine part as the aftermarket one I have is very noisy.

    Pictures as requested... Below is the connector from the switch to the loom, it was tucked under the rubber pipe in the right of the pic. Below is the loom (circled) this box contains 3 fuses and a relay. It was attached better, I need to redo it lol. The other two boxes are for the...

    Heated front screen retrofit done!

    Bg freelander: My car has the PTC heater, I didn't have to make any changes to this as the heated screen loom is completely separate. I did have concerns whether the alternator would be overloaded with the PTC heater and heated screen on but can report no issues, even with lights on as well...

    Freelander 1 What mileage is your Freelander 1 on?

    My 2006 TD4 commercial is now on 226000 miles but hasn't been used for 6 months. Considering selling it due to lack of use.

    Heated front screen retrofit done!

    Was gonna get some pics but the loom is encased in plastic conduit and the fuse/relay holder are covered in rubber that is starting to perish so didn't want to take it apart and risk breaking something. The loom is so simple it consists of the following: Thick wire from battery +ve terminal...

    Freelander 1 What mileage is your Freelander 1 on?

    2006 TD4 Commercial on 220000, will have a look at VCU but it has a full LR service history up to 180000 odd if I remember correctly and no mention of VCU being replaced, gets used off road everyday and 4wd works perfectly. Prior to me buying it it was owned buy a plant hire company so guess it...

    Just get a replacement second hand unit, will be quicker and cheaper than trying to get yours repaired.

    Been a while since I posted on here. Freelander going well, now on 220000 miles lol. Just thought I'd let you guys know I got the heated front screen working. Basically the screen was already in, I bought a button in the hope that it I could fit it and it would work as the wiring to the...

    Thanks for the concern, I'm fine wasn't in my van when it got hit, it seems TNT drivers don't know what mirrors are for. The FL is in the garage and is covered under warranty so will be sorted soon, gonna make the most of this warranty before it runs out ;)

    Just a quick update. For all you doubters out there my Freelander has lived up to its reputation and has let me down. Broke down on the M62 and got recovered to the garage, seems the fuel pump has killed itself :rolleyes: To top it off a TNT driver in an 18 ton wagon to a disliking to my van...

    Evening all :) Thought I would start a thread about my journey into the unkown. I have purchased a FL1 commercial with 207000 miles on the clock and thought this would be a good place to report my progress. A bit of background: I am a Telecoms contractor living in North Wales so a lot of...
