Thanks. Does a HP pump regulator problem throw a fault code?? Beginning to think that the pressure sensor is not telling the truth. No pressure on rail after cranking.

Checked out fuel rail sensor to ECU wiring, modified loom fitted and continuity checks out ok. Rather surprised that cracking an injector fuel nut immediately I stopped cranking didn't show residual pressure. May be a clue !

Got proven working set of injectors. They actually looked very new and well greased when inserted so obvs not originals. Cleaned, didn't disassemble as wanted to eliminate any risk of introducing another failure!! New seals and washers. Charged...

Swapping to a facelift scuttle solves the old broken rubber problem. The later ones have hard plastic right up to the ends.

All the dirty components will get the full treatment. All in the washer tub waiting. I have a spare set of manifold, egr etc clean and on shelf to reduce turn around times. Changed the cam cover this time also to prevent dirt going into the...

To fit the bearing you need to press it into the hub carrier by using force on the outer rim only. I can't see how you could do this. Also after fitting the bearing the FL1 has a circlip to hold it, think the FL2 is the same, not sure how you...

It has all been cleaned out, new filters and oil. Set of injectors to go in tomorrow from a spare working vehicle when the seals and washers arrive and then see what happens !!

OK it's official. Don't think vehicle has had an inlet clean, egr clean, oil change or filter change or air filter since it left LR all shiny new !! Have a look at these. The oil filter just fell apart. Wonder why it was overfuelling a bit...

Like this ?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370626186585?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JyrFJ85kSiS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=b5qQSb6hQNK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Except I see you want rear. But I don't see how you would press...

Thanks for the confirmation. Injectors are out and the egr is almost fully blocked. This would not help the fuelling!! Will post a photo. I think this is 140k of carbon. Never been off I bet. Updates later when I get to escape to workshop for a...

EV is plan Z. So a way to go !! Thanks for idea 🫢

Many thanks for the details. As I read the thread the HPFP was most likely not to blame is that correct ?? My plan is clean and fit 4 x 049 working injectors with new seals. Refill with fair but used oil and see what happens. If level goes up...

Thanks I did see that but wondered what the difference is. Also could they cause problems long term ??

The 2 x new looking injectors are neither part number: 0445110049 manual cars TD4 Or 0445110130 auto cars TD4. They are 0445110030 which appears to be from a Rover 75. Could this cause overfueling and so the diesel in oil problem?? If they...

How does that explain coolant in bore 1 I hear you ask !! Further inspection shows coolant is all over the top of the engine and so either the split sprayed it or the top was removed. Injector 1 was already out when I picked it up so it could...

Assume you have tried flat bar on cover to spread load and a pry bar under the injector fuel nut ?? Usually works. Short and sharp.

Yes, unbolt pipe from fuel rail. Lift injector and pipe out and then you can get a spanner on the injector.

So header tank was split. Replaced that and system holds 20 psi for a few hours. That's good news. One injector is black death and the remaining2 look new. Just drained 13 litres of something out of the sump !! No water in it though. Very thin...

this one?? https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-td4-strange-coolant-leak-suggestions-please.371994/

Oh dear. Trace of coolant in bores. Fed thin pipe in and syringed out pink water. Not looking good. Will check the other 3.

Here we go !

It's home. Sadly, someone has been in the engine bay before me ! Fuel rail to injector links disconnected, one injector missing and the others loose. PCV top cover loose and fitted with BMW mod cyclone device. All covers and intercooler hoses...

Have a good spare engine in stock so not too worried. If a garage have written the engine off I am more hopeful it isn't too bad ! Love the finding out bit ! I'll extract what info I can but have a feeling the seller is not the owner who would...

TD4 is 6.8 Litres with filter.

MOT history says all is mostly well. Know nothing of engine failure details but have a spare !! Would be rare for a TD4 to destruct unless turbo has caused run away. Paid about the price of tyres on it so worth a shot.

Apparently, but we'll see ! Picking up tomorrow.

Powder coat seems to be the way to go. Remember to either go for black centre caps or get them colour matched.

Why did engine on or off affect this??

Good stuff. Shows new, known manufacturer's components can still let you down. Glad it's sorted.

Yep, been living near the seaside !! That's why it is donating its goodies before being recycled !! Not a single like for April 1st. ☹️
