    Freelander 1 TD4 Leak back test results. Thoughts?

    Ok. Tomorrow I will disconnect the LP fuel supply to the HP pump and see if the LP pump is getting fuel to it. If fuel is getting to the HP pump, how do I then test that?

    Freelander 1 TD4 Leak back test results. Thoughts?

    Ooh. Now I am worried! I replaced the fuel filter 5 weeks ago and I know that it was a Britpart one :-( I have just read this article regarding the Britpart filter collapsing and blocking the outlet port. I wonder if that's what has happened to mine. I chose not to put a new filter in today...

    Anyone with a Freelander diagnostic machine in North Dorset?

    Struggling to deduce what is wrong with the wife's TD4 and why is won't fire up. Have replaced the LP pump, but still not firing. Without a diagnostic machine I am working blind and replacing parts on a whim is daft. Will happily bung a few quid your way if you fancy helping me out. Thanks

    Freelander 1 TD4 Leak back test results. Thoughts?

    I have just replaced the rear LP pump at a cost of £127, but battery is now flat so cannot really test. The new pump, however, does seem to sound much louder and sounds like it has more power than than the one I took off. Will trickle charge vehicle battery tonight and retry tomorrow am...

    Freelander 1 TD4 Leak back test results. Thoughts?

    I have just performed a leak back test on the TD4 and I wanted to gauge peoples thoughts. When I tun the ignition key but not crank the engine, I can see no diesel in the clear pipe connected to the leak back of the injector. If I crank the engine it does not start, and once again I only get a...

    Freelander 1 Low pressure fuel pump continually runs. Engine won't start

    No fuel leaks. When the HP pump seals went I could see diesel had run down the engine block. The block is clean and I also checked behind the rear wheel arch for a leak from the LP pump, but nothing. I am going to do a leak back test today, but I am still not 100% sure how I do one. I was...

    Freelander 1 I have a TD4 2003 freelander, today as I was driving along the dual carriage way it felt like my car

    The OBD hook up is the problem as I don't know anyone near me who has one. It's not a wrecked engine. I tried firing it earlier using easy start, and it started and then died again.

    Freelander 1 Low pressure fuel pump continually runs. Engine won't start

    The freelander TD4 is sitting outside and refuses to start up. The thing that I have noticed is that when I turn the ignition key one notch I hear the low pressure fuel pump start running. Unlike priming for a couple of seconds like it would usually it continually runs though. Does anyone...

    Freelander 1 I have a TD4 2003 freelander, today as I was driving along the dual carriage way it felt like my car

    Ok, here goes. I have just been outside to see what is happening. a) Car won't start b) With the ignition on I hear the low pressure fuel pump continually priming, but never actually stops making a noise. In the past when I turned the ignition on, you would hear a short noise whilst it...

    Freelander 1 I have a TD4 2003 freelander, today as I was driving along the dual carriage way it felt like my car

    That was the wife who posted about her Freelander. I don't think she had much choice as she was picking up the kids and her two friends. Oil and coolant are fine as I serviced the vehicle 5 weeks ago. Do you have any idea?

    Freelander 1 I have a TD4 2003 freelander, today as I was driving along the dual carriage way it felt like my car

    today as I was driving along the dual carriage way it felt like my car was being held back, as I slowed down and went on to the slip road off the carriage way I noticed smoke coming out of the exhaust the car then slowed right down and stopped I noticed the amber engine warning light on. I...

    Freelander 1 Most likely reason for suspension clunking noise?

    Ok. Thanks. I did the strut top bearing mounts 18 months ago so hopefully not that. Regarding the other two you mention. Is there an easy way to test?

    Freelander 1 Most likely reason for suspension clunking noise?

    The Freelander makes a knocking / clunking noise on the drivers side when going over bumps. Just wondering if anyone might be able to give me a pointer as to what to check so I can diagnose what needs doing. Vehicle has 130k on it and it's a TD4 Thanks

    Freelander 1 Terrible noise when blower fan is turned on?

    Are you ready for this. I like a nice simple fix. "Turned out to be the splash guard rubbing on the compressor. Popped it out - noise has gone now."

    Freelander 1 Terrible noise when blower fan is turned on?

    Does the air con pump run when the air con is off, but blower is on? If not, it is not that as this happens when air con is off.

    Freelander 1 Terrible noise when blower fan is turned on?

    The Freelander TD4 has developed a very strange fault. If I start the engine and then turn the blower on a notch I get a rumbling grating noise coming from the engine water pump side. If I then rev the engine the noise gets louder and the frequency picks up. It is really loud and so bad you...

    Freelander 1 Fuel Pressure Sensor wiring loom diagram?

    Hi, I have searched the forum, but still am unable to locate a simple diagram which shows the block in the ECM that houses the 3 wires from the old fuel pressure sensor that I need to remove and replace with the 3 new pins from the new loom? If anyone has a picture, please do share as I took...
