    FL1 TD4 Facelift Gearbox Covered In Soot!?

    https://youtube.com/shorts/w8uvzqZfswY?feature=share @Nodge68 @GrumpyGel can you guys check this video of my LP fuel pump? Is this noise normal!? It’s a Pierburg/ATI one, been on a few weeks now, have checked the pipes and replaced some of the rubber hoses, do I need to bleed them for air or...

    FL1 TD4 Facelift Gearbox Covered In Soot!?

    Thanks @Nodge68 I’ve replaced the belts, as I have no idea if or when they were last done so it’s one less thing to worry about :D gonna take a look at the fuel connectors on the lp pump as if there’s air getting in that might explain the noise and the flat spots when it’s low on fuel, mpg has...

    Argh! I think I have some copper grease spray I’ll pop that on and see if I can get something better, mpg has improved since changing the fuel hoses, now just to figure out why it’s pulling back slightly when accelerating… seriously, does it ever end!?

    Yeah the gaiter was on the prop but it was looking a bit perished so will replace when it goes back on, hopefully yeah I’ll end up with a decent car, since replacing the rubber fuel lines mpg has increased slightly, also soldered the wires on the IAT sensor so more responsive now…. However…. I...

    Ah thank you! I’ll have to take a look at that cause the noise is driving me mad, 3rd lp fuel pump in 8 months and an oem one was starting to think it was supposed to sound like that :oops:

    No full prop is removed as the vcu was starting to seize, I’m sending that off to Bell when I get chance, but have been fixing many other faults in the meantime :confused: so far I’ve replaced lower suspension arms, track rod ends, front drive shafts, hp pump regulator, low pressure pump and...

    no idea what that even looks like :oops: however I think I’ve found the source of the leak, noticed the fuel hoses in the engine were really cracked… so have removed, and replaced, I’ve cleaned away as much of the oil as possible and we’ll see if that’s solved it

    So had a poke about underneath seems the oil is coming from this join but can’t work out if it’s the join between the gearbox and ird or the oil sump, towards the front end there’s a lot of oil covering the starter motor etc

    Ah ok fair enough, my other thought was possibly the fuel rail pressure sensor leaking as I did read a post online where someone had the same leak and it was that, I’ll have a cuppa and go investigate I suppose

    FL1 TD4 Facelift Gearbox Covered In Soot!?

    Managed to get the passenger side off, it’s been soaked in plus gas for a few weeks now so hopefully should be able to get it off :D the car hasn’t been well looked after previously so everything is rusty and difficult (bit like myself) it’s become part a labour of love and part pure hell but...

    Ouch! I didn’t know that so thank you! I’ll get it done this weekend, if it is the inner cv, do you reckon that oil on the bell housing is possibly cv grease? Or is it too far away?

    FL1 TD4 Facelift Gearbox Covered In Soot!?

    Not entirely sure, replaced the passenger side a few weeks ago, but by the time I’d done that one I was knackered, the nut on the drivers side was seized and that shaft wasn’t making a noise, it’s now got play where I can move it back and forth slightly, rattles when turning so possibly the...

    FL1 TD4 Facelift Gearbox Covered In Soot!?

    Elbow hose from the egr was replaced not too long ago, I’ll take that intercooler one off and check it/give it a clean, probs duct tape until a new one arrives :D Hmm not sure about the sound material, I’ll have a look, I was wondering if the exhaust was blowing as at around 30mph with the...

    FL1 TD4 Facelift Gearbox Covered In Soot!?

    Hi guys! hoping someone can shed some light, looking under the car I noticed some sort of oil and a lot of soot all over the gearbox. Haven’t really got any issues with the gearbox (serviced last month) it’s a manual getreg, have done a lot of repairs in the past month. Only issue now is...

Will I need a whole replacement or is it just a...

    Headlamp motor

    Well I’ve just had her mot’d she failed on welding and a prop bearing but no mention of the headlamp motor so must be operational despite the noise, thanks for the info guys I’ve seen whole headlamps for 35 quid so not too bad!

    Headlamp motor

    Damn! Bought the part off eBay came off a 2004 Freelander so assumed it would be the same as mine, tbh I was guessing it was that that needed changing as the headlight makes a buzzing noise, all the lights work fine it’s just when you go to change the setting from 0 that it makes the noise

    Headlamp motor

    Urgh! Gutted cause I have such small hands I found I was able to remove parts from the headlight without having to remove the headlight and bumper etc went to remove the bumper and the screws in the wheel arch are rusted to the point there’s nothing to put a screwdriver in :mad:
