Yeah. Exactly. Like one of those children's Kinder eggs. When you unwrap it, there's a surprise fault inside. :D

Have you considered having the vehicle wrapped? You won't need to change the colour on the documents as it's considered temporary.

I'm going to create a thread titled: "I want to go on roading in a freelander." As mine has spent much of its life on a combination of trolley jack, ramps and axle stands. On some occasions all 3 at the same time. ... keeping with this thread though, try and find one all ready kitted out.

For closure. New loom soldered up to existing loom, heat shrunk, new conduit done. Tested. Happy. :)

Can't find it in my MG... ;)

Yeah, that "leave it until Monday" never happened. I cut the top connector as far down as I could, giving me around 3 inches of good cable. Found an old loom, sourced the correct coloured wires (managed to find around 3 foot of each) Soldiered and heat shrunk each new cable. Measured an old...

Temp sensor was the first thing I changed. It was the voltage coming out of the ecm I couldn't fathom out. I have 3 freelanders to compare with and they all had 0v. The only reason I found the cause was because when I was head first looking at the rear of the engine bay, I could hear an...

Just to clarify: I've circled (at the top) the 3 wires that have fused to the 12v (feeding 12v back to the ecm) I've circled (at the bottom) the red wire which has escaped (thankfully) fusing it self to main 12v, as it spurred off below the engine shield.

Guess where these wires go back to? Yup, fuse 4. All 3 wires have melted and fused to the 12v main power. So it looks like 12v was going back to the ecm. Either way, I've taken the engine bash plate off (for access) , gone as far back as i can tracing the 3 cables (there is 4 but i think the...

It's a melted mess. I'll rewire the 3 cables as far back as possible. Re insulate the main cable. I have cable conduit, so it's all back to normal. Hopefully, this is will sort it all out. It's the only issue I have managed find. I'll update this thread once it's all done. Fingers crossed.

I haven't had time to see if any wires have fused together yet, as I need to go to a hospital appointment. Judging by the forecast, looks like it could be a job for next week. Someone had jammed and squashed the main power cable between the heat shield and alternator. (The image posted is...

Forget everything..... Found the problem.

67 is blue and white. But how do I remove the pin ?

No idea. C0913 pin 67 = UR (The small connector) But i'll give it a try tomorrow. (I have an ultra busy day, so i'll see how far i get in doing it)

I expect that confuses things a little further as pin 54, is situated on the smaller connector. (Fans keep running when this is removed)
