    Bought a TD4 fixer upper and have a few questions

    Just bought out second Freelander this week after the wife managed to park our last one in a field after a journey through a dry stone wall in the snow last year. Been using my motorbike all summer but decided to get another Freelander for the winter so hunted down a very cheap (£800) 2005 3...

    Excellent advice as always! Id completely agree with Nodge, make sure that you have a good set of tyres and that all the service items have been taken care of first before you start spending money on other stuff. Even if the previous owner said 'its just been serviced' chances are it hasn't or...

    What Freelander Have You Got Poll (version 2)

    2005 TD4 E. 3 door hardback, Base model with no bells and whistles but that's exactly what we wanted as its less gubbins to go wrong. Its actually my wifes but I like the fact that its so easy to do any work on. So much so in fact that im seriously contemplating selling my 2008 Jeep Grand...

    Freelander 1 TD4 remap

    In that case itd probably be fine. I was thinking along the lines of the blanks that I had fitted on my old Pajero which removed the EGR all together.

    Freelander 1 TD4 remap

    Thats my plan. As you say its only a 15 min job to swap them so its exactly what I plan to do come mot time if it becomes an issue.

    Freelander 1 TD4 remap

    I wouldnt have thought so as its then pretty obvious that the EGR has been removed?

    Freelander 1 TD4 remap

    I think the kicker here is the wording - OBVIOUSLY modified. Im sure there are plenty of MOT testers out there that wouldn't notice if a bypass is fitted with the vacuum hose connected to the little stub instead of an actual EGR valve? Different if there's nothing at all fitted and just a...

    Td4 leak back test

    Dont need to provide photos. Simple fact is that my no 3 injector wasnt functioning properly and it is now after running a bottle of injector cleaner through in 30l of fuel thats good enough for me! Before replacing the injector I thought id try adding a 500ml bottle of Wynns Diesel clean...

    TD4 'chugging'

    Glad to say a bottle of injector cleaner and a 200 mile trip seem to have sorted out the issue and its now running great

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Sidelight Osram led

    As Td4van said LED bulbs don't always play well with vehicles with Canbus electrical systems. You need to make sure you buy Canbus compatible ones. Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Freelander-2-06-on-Bright-Canbus-LED-Side-Light-501-W5W-T10-5-SMD-White-Bulbs-/131534162529
