    EGR valve sounds like a Duck!!

    Yes indeed.. it sit's ticking over for a good well may be 30 seconds before being switched off (should be longer I know.. but dinners on the table)... but even at tickover.. it will be spinning quite fast I would have thought??

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    But when you switch off,, the turbo's still doing 5ooooo rpm or so (may be not that much then)... this will spin for a while after the exhaust gas has stopped coming out... could it be this pressure we are hearing??

    EGR valve sounds like a Duck!!

    That's the one... Not sure if it happens all the time... just noticed it... not really sure if it's there when running... will need to do some more investigation and report back... Some times will and sometimes won't when you stop and re-start the engine then turn it off again... but so far has...

    Yes... pipe now off (with screw in it)... and the valve still appears to be pushed of it's seat and chattering by the exhaust gas...

    EGR valve sounds like a Duck!!

    The old car is going gud now.. but having disconnected the vaccume pipe from the EGR valve.. when the engines running (but you can't hear it as much) and when you stop it for a few seconds after.. the valve sounds like a duck! It must be bouncing on the seat.... will have to blank it off...

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    Well.. that's fixed it... new pump (and filter) and it's charging into the red... also cleaned the EGR valve out and took the pipe of so it's not working now.... No smoke on start up... so could have been something to do with the pressure drop from the old pump... Will fit BMW breather and...

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    John... it's a plan then.. as said before, I've had 3 TD4's now and never come accross this filter nor has one been fitted at service according to my service sheets!.. the first one had 85K on it when it went.... so may have been well done!.. Anyway, keeping this car for a bit (as I don't know...

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    Thanks for that.. will try the pump first see if that solves the prob's.. then go for the filter next week... Can you only get these from BMW dealers??

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    Interesting.. I have seen this before .. Is it the Rover Ron guy??... . When doing the Breather.. do you just do the filter.. as looking on Flea-bay.. they appear to come with the housing also?.. any reason to replace this lot??

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    Good plan.. but then read the V8 stuff!!... Slipping liners, cracks, restricted manifolds, pistons, cams, small bearing cranks etc etc.... The Gaylander I'm sure is a much more bullet profe engine... even with it's issues!.... Getting into this now... looking at re-mapping... My mate had his...

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    Yes.. just a bit on initial turn of the key... Just one puff (as you might say)... And it does appear to have started at the same time as my pump became noisey.... Thanks for the above... very usefull... I will also get a crankcase breather and fit it next week after seeing if the pump solves...

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    Mmm... was thinking of turning a blanking plug for the exhaust pipe bit.. and the clamp used would lock it in place... and a straight tube with flange for the air?.... I assume this is how it works (or is blanked off??) Will the ECu show it as diconnected??

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    Yes well... new pump coming tomoro... £99 plus vat and post... not bad I supose... if it's making a noise and now let me down once it need to be changed.... But I may have a secondary problem on the 4K rev limit also unless as I said before.. it's dropped in pressure due to why ever it's...

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    Did that... went to the shop.. no change.. came out and it would not start!!... But also.. there was no pump noise... Left it a while, tried the ingnition a few times... after 10 mins and 5 or 6 times of trying... I got the pump noise again.. started straight up.... Think this i sthe...

    TD4 won't rev over 4K??

    Hi... Yes, did read this before posting... but my problem is fine until it hit's a certain RPM.. then it like the rev limiter jumps in... As I said it's now at 3.6K... Just off out for lunch... will see if it's got any lower!! But not a genral lack of power... more a switch off situation.....

    Hi Guy's... Never been on the Landy Zone forum before but reading some post will be back soon...:). But I wonder if you can help me with a problem I've noticed on my TD4 Freelander? it's a 55 reg with 32K on it... LR serviced (sorrey I know!) from new... I noticed the other day that I could...
