The thread i posted on this subject was not meant to be taken personally by anyone on this forum as a lot of advice was given by professional mechanics. Some of the replies here have as i have said have been taken in the wrong text and should be thought over more carefully before posting such...

After 18 months of messing around and an astronomical amount of money spent on two sets of injectors, a turbo and more sensors than you can shake a stick at, was still unable to cure the smoke problem. In desperation (after all the so called sound advice from everywhere and everybody) i put my...

Don't worry always confused, theres some great people on here but there 's always some self opinionated prats as wellWhen i was getting my head round this site, i was logging on to one person in particular without realising it and got a rather uneccessary rebuff. Buff thats todays society i...

Hi everyone. Does anybody know of a mesh gill that can be adapted for the Freelander 1 (face lift model)

Nice one Roger. Did look on a website as a matter of interest yesterday and this site recons it won't fit? but iv'e got a strange feeling you may be right as i'm fairly sure the after market one i put on a year or so ago was swaged down in size from the manifold although i can't honestly...

Not quite sure myself where the LN comes into it but do know from websites there is such a beast. Was given the back box and intermediate section brand new(the back box is a sort of triangular shape) and the bore is a lot bigger than what's on. A mechanic told me today though that they can be...

Hi guys been a while since i asked a question but here's one. Will the exhaust made for a Freelander LN version fit a Freelander 1 td4 2006

Hi DUNNINGHAM. Woman who had this Freelander before me just about ran it into the ground. already spent over £2000 putting right and i'm nearly there. Still got a strong smell of fumes at times but at least it's not burning oil now.Changed everything major (turbo/injectors etc)so i can only put...

The only problem with these motors is the people who own them i.e. lack of maintenance and changing parts when they should be changed. After all, if you had a car that said the belt should be changed at x amount of miles you wouldn't be daft enough to ignore it, would you?!

yes . got to agree with musky. Bought cheap on e-bay and ended up doing the job again. won't get better than Delphi

Hi everyone, quick question. Can anybody tell me why so many people knock td4's when so many people have one?

Hi guys. Thought it might be interesting to tell of my problem and cure for the Freelander 1 td4 thermostat change in case it might help someone else. As anyone will tell you changing the thermostat on these is a nightmare. Mine had the original one fitted form 2006, this being an Austrian...

Hi guys hope you don't mind me joining in but i have a similar problem on my freelander 1 td4. After changing turbo, crankcase valve ,fuel filter and pressure valve ,i still have a cloud of blue smoke which is sometimes worse than others and even when the smoke isn't there there's a strong smell...

No, sorry, i'm not very good at explaining myself. Should have said it's burning off as you can visibly see smoke out the exhaust

thanks lodge. Any idea why iv'e started blowing oil off on the td4 after changing the maf and turbo pressure valve on the freelander td4. It stopped after i changed the turbo so i can't understand why it would start again after changing these two items unless i've done something wrong. Changed...
