Oh dear.... welcome to Landy Zone. Help and advice if you can come up with a problem that no-one has seen before. Sympathy? Never.... A lot of people are jumping to the conclusion that you threw very hot water at it and it is thermal shock that has caused the crack. I would ask - when you...

You are very likely to be better off doing some basic diagnostics first before randomly substituting components. Suggest you remove the switch first and blow some compressed air through it and lubricate it - during that process familiarise yourself with the connections, then start to carry a...

Where I live in East Yorkshire, some of the local traffic plod carry gadgets now for measuring the level of tint on the windows of cars, basically it looks like a multimeter but at the end of the leads there are two suckers which they stick either side of the glass and it tells them the % tint...

Yes - and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the milkman but you know what they say - look forwards not backwards......... :high5:

TD4 ES with Sunroof, full leather, rust and oil leaks?

I had this problem constantly - on my '02 TD4 the roof light has a PCB on the back of it and the wires plug on. The plug would corrode in no time so I soldered the wires to the PCB. No problems now.... Is the problem car a 5 door or 3 door? I think they have different lights.

This can happen if the discs are warped, and hence the pistons get pushed back in the calipers a little further - but no way to the extent that you need to pump the brakes to stop the car. You may have had issues with worn friction linings and discs but to have to pump the brakes you probably...

The props are balanced during manufacture and unless they are modified or damaged there is no requirement to balance them again. Any talk of balancing the VCU is bollox as it's full of sticky fluid that moves about. Same is true of any talk of balancing the whole assembly as the VCU can and...

You need to establish if the compressor clutch engages when you flick the switch - if not then it maybe that there is insufficient gas pressure in the system or some other fault. The light on the A/C switch is pretty meaningless, just means that there is power to the A/C system but it still...

I have a few points I would like to make here.. With regard to the refill kits from Halfords, I would not recommend them. For £50 you can go to Kwik Fit and they will (should) do the job properly which means using the correct test gear. Firstly they create a vacuum in the system which removes...

What a result - bang on!! With weird faults, getting some test gear and methodical diagnosis is the only sure fire way. I suspect if a main dealer was looking at this following the diagnostic route in their manuals they would have replaced everything except the radio by now! You can probably...

No I am not taking the p*** and you know it. Land Rover and other manufacturers invest a huge amount in QA for their products and parts. They may not always get it right, but they have improved significantly in recent years and compared to their competitors (Toyota, Merc etc) they are still...

I sort of get what you are saying but there is much more to it - Whilst Land Rover will not trouble themselves with making small, discreet components like water pumps etc. they will have the strictest QA standards of anyone and they will have the ability and personnel to walk into component...

If you get chance to substitute it then I think it's worth a try. It's not very scientific but if you have had issues (albeit intermittent) with the engine running on for a few seconds after turning it off then it is likely you have a fuel pressure regulator issue. I had a problem with mine...

A local (independent) tyre place near me always used to leave a note on the windscreen saying the wheel nuts need to be re-torqued after 100 miles and if you return it they will do it f.o.c. I've always thought it was their "get-out" clause if a wheel fell off. Unless it's a new wheel - or new...

That is so scary - it's made the air filter jump out on to the scuttle!

Maybe...maybe not. A few years ago it was mooted that after market HID kits would be an MOT fail unless fitted with a self levelling system and washers, however what made it into the test was cars fitted with HID lamps may also have self levelling and/or washers - where these are fitted with...

A stunning looking car... The front side windows look heavily tinted - would suggest you make sure they are at the legal level as in some counties plod are quite keen on that.

It is exactly that, unlike many other common rail systems the fuel pressure at the rail is controlled by bleeding off fuel from the output of the HP pump back to the tank rather than off the rail itself. Another give away symptom relating to the fuel pressure regulator is the engine running on...

Not sure if the TD4 is susceptible to this but I have had a number of cars which, when you try and start them with a weak battery, will log faults and put the EML light on mainly due to duff readings from sensors due to low battery voltage. If the light it on all the time though you will need to...
