    Lumpy running, dead injector

    All fixed now, thank for all ideas/suggestions This was a cracking tip!!! Cheers dude After I swapped the injector and put it all back together it took a good couple of cranks to get fuel back through the system, then happy days!!!! Might invest in a 20quid ultrasonic bath from eBay and try...

    If you had the money...

    If money was no object, you could buy another freelander and tow it around all the time. Mpg might take a hit, but if you break down simply jump in the spare and tow the broken FL home. Think I missed the point there A decent jack with a bit of wood to jack off(insert joke here), also a set...

    Lumpy running, dead injector

    Injector came today and it looks in half decent condition for second hand part. I will update with photos and progress in the next couple of days.

    Freelander 1 Alternative Parts List

    I use to have a tvr chimaera, which used parts from tons of different cars. Getting parts was pretty easy, so fault finding/servicing/modifications become much cheaper. Had that car for years, until I went involuntary offroading. So got a freelander hahah

    Td4 injectors

    I've got a dead injector on my td4 manual just now. I've taken a punt on one from eBay for 35quid, when it arrives hopefully it'll work. But it'll give me time to get the original cleaned up or sent off for recon whilst still driving

    Yup, more like a thermostat from a Renault 5 fits, or a boost hose from a vectra style of thinking.

    Freelander 1 Alternative Parts List

    I'd like to start a list of parts from other manufacturers that fit the freelander. As everyone knows sometimes parts from other motors are cheaper, and easier to get from a decent scrappies. Especially if you'd rather crack out the socket set, get some rust in your eyes and feel like MAN...

    Lumpy running, dead injector

    Hi, thanks for all the suggestions. I replaced the fuel filter and filled it with injector cleaner before I connected it up, filled up tank with the good stuff plus even more injector cleaner and a bit two stroke to lubricate everything. I've been driving like I was 17 again, hahah. But no...

    Lumpy running, dead injector

    Hi all, looking for a wee bit of advice. My freelander(td4 56plate sport, 81 thousand miles) has been running very lumpy when idling for the last week, and getting worse. Its getting so bad I thought I had a defender, but then I have heating..... Anyway, traced it to a dodgy injector. So my...

    My td4 sport so far

    Yup swapped all them when I serviced it a couple of months ago, along with air/fuel/oil filter and changed the oil. When I fit the erg blank I'm I just as well to fit new silicon hoses?

    My td4 sport so far

    Some pic's of the freelander. The brackets for the front driving lamps were made from flat bar shaped in a metal bender. Just removed bolts along top of bumper, sniped a few squares of the plastic mesh and slid into place. Much easier than taking whole bumper off. Still have to take the...
