What other symptoms would a loose flywheel give? It drives ok but does rattle slightly when idling in neutral but my 12plate transit does that.

Hi all Td4 es manual My problem is the starter motor is scrubbing against the flywheel teeth rather than engaging between them causing the start of rounding of the teeth edge. The flywheel and clutch was new on in march and was fine for about 3 months until the grinding started. I have...

Hi all. I need to replace my slipping clutch on td4 2004. Has anyone tried the single mass conversion kit. It's considerably cheaper and the clutch plate springs are supposed to be stronger to do the job of the flywheel. Im looking at this option as I dont intend to keep the car long but...

thanks for the advise, regretfully i dont have a rave and i intend to have it done asap so cant really wait for one to arrive, ive done normal cars before so im hoping it should be straightforwardish. is there any secret bolts i need to search for, i heard theres an outward one on the bell...

hi all, td4 manual 2004 facelift, after using the search function i couldnt get any answers. im about to replace the clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder. can anyone tell me does the ird have to be split from the gearbox, if so does the subframe bar that supports the wishbones have to come off...

Yes the tool is a must. It cost me 40 from franklin in Sheffield who make them. That's coz the person selling them on eBay shows 3 on stock but doesn't actuall have any. Give me a shout if you need help

ok i think/hope ive sorted it now. having removed and refitted it 3 times in total its now stopped leaking. i ended up restripping the pump and cleaning the surfaces with wet and dry and tightening the screws as tight as i dare without stripping the threads. for anyone thinking of trying this...

update. i've removed the pump and fitted new seals in all 3 of the caps, only to find once refitting that the cap facing the radiator is now leaking but the original one (nearest the block) is not. i removed it again and checked the seals were sat right and refitted still to find it leaks when...

having had both fuel pumps the maf sensor and rear passenger door regulator fail in less than 12 months is making me consider how long i should keep mine, that said it managed to pull my 1 ton water trailer through snow about 8 inch deep on tar tyres to my horses. was no match for our disco up...

thanks again for the help. i've got the kit coming for tomorrow from andrew page but the guys on ebay selling the special tool say theyve sold out so still looking for a place i can pick one up from coz its gotta be fixed by the weekend.

when my maf packed in i ran it without it plugged in to identify what was causing the fault and it pulled like a train. try it

Excellent help mate. I'll try Andrew page with that part no as Bosch themselves seem to think they never supplied a pump for a freelander?! thanks again

ok i now know somewhere that sells the pump remover tool but i need somewhere that sells a seal seal kit. any suggestions, im in mansfield

hi all my 04 td4 is leaking fuel somewhere from the injection pump only when the engine is running. the bind is i cant see exactly where unless i remove the intake manifold. the pump looks wet at the back (nearest side to the block). is the pump serviceable. if so where can i order a kit from...

hi all i just started my freelander 04 td4 to move it out of the way on the drive and after switching it off there is a high pitch whiney noise that continues for a couple of mins and has hot slightly blueish gasses that emit from a small exhaust under the passenger side of the bonnet near the...
