60 to 90, i would have got to were i was going before it got to 90.

Its slow all the time. Towed 500kg on a 200kg trailer. The proplem is how long it takes to get up to speed. Say some one cuts in front of me or puts the brakes on hard, i am stuffed. Mass air flow reading was what is expected can't remember off the top of my head think its measured in g/s. MAP...

Bought myself a 2001 freelander TD4 commercial as i think they look great and have wanted one since i was 12 years old. Been driving the thing about and it is horrendously slow. i have owned some pretty bad cars in my time but the only thing that comes close to being this slow was an 850cc 1974...

My injectors are faulty and seized in the head ran injector cleaner through it for the MOT and it passed (smoke test only 0.3) but still produces blue smoke when cold and sounds quite rough when idling. seized injector can result in replacement engine! major nightmare.

Had the MOT today. smoke test was 0.38 (1.46 last time) so i am very pleased. Don't know if that mainly due to the egr bypass (blocked vacuum pipes and left egr connected) or the additives. The smoke has greatly reduced from plumes of visible blue to a whisp of grey. Surprisingly the additives...

I am due an MOT and dreading the smoke test Previous test result (before i bought it. No EGR bypass) 1.46 the limit is 1.5 anyone know what their smoke test results were. Mines a 2001 with 126,000 miles. will post back with latest figure after MOT.

I have run a fair amount of redex through the injectors which hasn't done anything. Is the leak back test with the syringes (looks easy enough) will have ago at this. Am now hoping it is the injectors just so i can get it fixed. I think all four are playing up or at least more than one as there...

Having spent hours and hours looking under my bonnet and at photos on forums trying to solve a smoke and misfire that only happens when cold between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm, I noticed that the pipe on the rh side of the inter cooler has quite a winding route to the inlet manifold. Looking at the BMW...

Cleaned this up but no difference defiantly suspect injectors. heard they are a bugger to remove without destroying. also misfireing so i dont think its burning oil. idle is really noisy sounds like cam noise but think its all injector related (was told these are quite quiet engine when they are...

Having thought i had cured the problem with the oil i am now having the same problem as you. Wondered how you had got on with it.

Had all the pipes off and tested for leaks, found none. Its 2001 and done 126,000 miles. been told injectors can go at around this mileage. dont know if the problem started after i serviced it or if it was aways a problem. Only noticed when i reved the car after servicing it. I am also thinking...

Right so having took the truck out for a run the boost pressure know seem to be working as i would expect. I spoke with a land rover specialist who advised it was either the turbo seals or the injectors that where causing the blue smoke. He said if i could feel any play in the vanes on the low...

Ok so i bought my y reg TD4 in June probably paid to much for it. First thing i did was give it a service, used castrol magnatec 5/30 and brit part filters. At the same time changed the pcv to the bmw cyclone type and cleaned out egr and air box. Stupidly i overfilled with oil, tried to put the...

Recently bought my first TD4 (previously owned 1.8). After servicing i noticed that when you rev it to 2000rpm i got huge amounts of blue smoke. I changed the crank case breather for BMW cyclone so im sure its not the breather valve. I had overfilled with oil (tried to put 6.5 liters in without...

After bypassing my EGR I noticed that the inlet manifold had about 10mm of sludge inside it. I have been looking at ways to clean it and came across some people using brake fluid. I have also heard of people using brake fluid to de-coke the engine, by pouring it into the air intake or...

Thanks for all you help, does anyone have any tips for cleaning the inlet manifold. I just poured diesel through it but wasn't to pleased with the results, dont have a parts cleaner and wasn't sure if soaking the part in cleaner or diesel was a good idea because its plastic. Does the Ecotek...

I had a similar problem i took the oil filler cap off and it ran fine. Although my problem was slightly to much oil, if it clears after a while with the cap off you know its crankcase pressure related or oil being blown into the air inlet rather than seals and if not you can rule it out at least.

in two years of owning 1.8 hardtop Head gasket failure Clutch after 67,000 miles VCU bearings Clutch master cylinder The best car i have ever owned. Wouldn't have swapped it for a Rolls Royce. Now got a TD4 commercial.

I have tried searching for a product but couldn't find anything will look up wheeler dealers thanks for that. Tried to clean inlet manifold just got covered in crap and not very successful.

Sorry if this sound like a stupid question but, is there some way of cleaning inside the cylinders without taking the engine apart? I recently bought a TD4 freelander commercial and was advised by a friend that i should change the pcv valve, so i changed it for bmw replacement then i looked...
