OK, so here's the latest update. I was booked into my local Land Rover dealer, W.J.Joyce, in Trowbridge, for a diagnostic (Testbook) today and the result is number one injector overfueling, which actually goes along with some of the info. given by a few of you guys. The Testbook cost me £50...

Guess I’ll have to take it to a diesel specialist the nearest is in Bristol. Anyway thanks for all the help.

I definitely think it’s injector just don’t know if it’s just one or three of them.

I kicked Bender and threatened him with the scrap yard if he didn't pull his socks up and stop smokin ol' stogies (he's found)

Hi J_D, sorry it's taken a while to get back to you, but the weather has been crap and I haven't been that good either. I've had a good look at the link above and it might well be the same but I'm not sure. I have now replaced all the vac hoses with silicon and I must say some pieces looked a...

Well, I managed to scrape myself underneath, got the sump guard off, drained the oil and fitted the new filter. While waiting for oil to drain I had a look at the turbo and boost solenoid. Well did I let out a whoop or what, a rubbed through vac pipe. It was only the breather pipe (the bottom...

I was defo thinking of replacing all the vac lines with silicone. I’ll get and order it now. And I’ll have a look for injector services around Wiltshire area. Looks like I’m gonna have to sell my sax. Heyho.

No compression check. I've had a good look up top, can't see any splits etc. Going to do oil change sometime this week so will have a look at turbo vacs and hose while under there. On tick over if I pull injector plugs one at a time there is a really big difference on all of them.

KK,Tnx for info. looks like I'll be pulling out injector 1 again.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can help with obd2 readings. I'm using an iCarsoft LR v1.0 and to be honest the manual is pretty useless for a beginner and the interweb isn't much better. So I've come cap in hand to you guys. This was my last set of readings on 'Bender' FL1 2006,TD4: Does...

Welcome Stumpyj, this is most defo the place for information. Some of the guys here remember how to fix Chariots. Seriously, they are a wealth of information.

Wow, just found your post, so informative. Tomorrow weather permitting I'm under 'Bender' again. Thank you so much.

Here are the readings at running temp and tick-over. LANDROVER_EN_TEST_00010>Freelander>2001-2006>Smart Scan>ENG-BOSCH DDE TD4>View Data>Overview: Total Frames: 22 , Supported Items: 14 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...

Just noticed that the smart scan readings I posted were at 1544 rpm not at tick-over will upload readings later from my laptop. Could leaking/split Turbo out to intercooler be causing the low manifold pressure? (Dumb Question). The manufacture date on the LP filter was 2013. I must admit I...
