    Hi folks, Just noticed since yesterday gasping trouble starting first time in morning/evening after engine off a few hours. it’s a Freelander TD4 only and only cranks up when I press the accelerator pedal a bit first time starting. After that starts straight away. Seems like not enough...

    Freelander 1 Engine keeps going into boost without pressing down and very poor mileage

    Hi Folks, Recently had issues with MIL on with loss of power on motorway, resolved after replacing the 2 egr solenoids, all hoses, and pump under rear wheel arch (BMW TD4). Now I’m finding the engine keeps going into what sounds like surges of diesel/power to turbo when just cruising, and...

    Turbo boost actuator issue?

    Thanks Nodge, i tried without MAF connected and no change so will replace pump tomorrow. regarding the small filter that connects with hose to the booster solenoid, does this just rest on the engine block or is there a clip to hold in place? The existing one doesn’t have that filter. Best...

    Turbo boost actuator issue?

    Thanks Artic, good to know. I’ll disconnect the MAF first then look at changing out the diesel pump filter followed by the pump itself (under rear driver side arch). Would you happen to have the part number for the EGR solenoid valve? I’ll reconnect the part I removed and may as well replace...

    Turbo boost actuator issue?

    Hi Artic, Just reading through the threads and it seems I may have fitted the wrong solenoid… i purchased a new turbo boost solenoid (STC4198) and replaced the solenoid under the manifold which is actually the EGR solenoid! (part 2a in photo attached - for a bmw engine so ignore the references...

    Turbo boost actuator issue?

    thanks Artic, much appreciated. I’ll try disconnecting the MAF and see what happens. The Egr solenoid I have has the little box clipped on its side similar to rimmer brothers, Is there turbo vent filter another option instead of that vent box or is it connected to a different hose? i fired...

    Turbo boost actuator issue?

    Just double checked, the part I replaced is: STC4198 (solenoid valve for Freelander TD4, 04 Reg). Is there another solenoid valve which controls flow to turbo? is there a part number for the little air filter on the STC4198? I just re-used the old one (with pen pointing to it) on the new...

    Turbo boost actuator issue?

    Hey Artic and Gel, It’s not the first photo but the other one (replaced the first one last month). I took a reading with the i900 just getting p1470, other threads show this as loss of boost pressure iirc. Maybe the plastic manifold is cracked, must do a smoke test or something. The other...

    Turbo boost actuator issue?

    Hi folks, Freelander TD4 2004 has been struggling on motorway to go over 50 mph, 2000 rev with engine light comes on when going over 2000 revs but resets when slows… Followed the main threads on this forum and changed out with Land Rover original parts: * Turbo solenoid valve (2 hose...

    M10 bolt stud to inlet manifold came loose - how to fix?

    Cheers mate, excellent photos. Yeah it’s actually the brass Collect, it came out of the engine housing, so are you saying a new Collect will actually work if inserted (by hammer?) as it’s walls are rough enough to bite into the housing and wedge tight so to speak? thanks for quick reply by the...

    M10 bolt stud to inlet manifold came loose - how to fix?

    Hi folks, Just after refitting the inlet manifold and one of the bronze studs came loose, won’t tighten to recommended 10 Nm (or any torque!). Removed inlet manifold cover again and noticed the stud stuck to bolt. I cleaned out the nut socket in engine block and nut, applied unibond metal epoxy...

The three bolts are small long bolts that go through the electric socket housing and fits onto the narrow flange housing sticking out to...

    Freelander 1 Where’s the second nut securing the starter motor?

    Thanks N, found it. Second bolt is out of view from all angles, it’s tucked under the cables just to right of main electric cable going toward elec connections starter - see photo taken looking square on end view of starter housing (from battery side). Just put a 13mm socket onto narrow...
