Come to think of it - there is a section of flexipipe in the clutch line - mmmmm

Am guessing here and maybe the amount of fluid or not in the pipe after the master could be a factor in drawing the new fluid in could be a factor We lost the rugby so am grumpy cause we were out played in a technical manner - and that's bad, very bad

To add to the above - I have bled mine recently as mentioned above - there is a damping unit in line so rather let a lot of fluid run thru than too little. It should empty the reservoir in about 30 mins It starts slowly then it gets going faster and faster I think I let a full 500 ml run through

Sounds like a leak to me - is reservoir still full ? If it's the slave cylinder you might notice a leak out of the wading hole on the g/box bell housing If it's the master a leak will be evident where it bolts through the firewall and leak on the inside If reservoir still full then your seals...

And started by what would seem to be the most ardent Freelander supporter on here Says something about the freelander or "hippo" as you mud island people have named it

Being a gazillion miles away in saffaland I didn't think you mud island people still did things like the above. It seems to be a scource of pride and a lot more prevalent than I imagined Good work I hope you lot don't add gravy to any of these when dishing up

Worth a try as it's cheap - replace expansion tank cap - worked for a friend in his 300 tdi D1

I trust a little bit of skin is missing on the knuckle's as is mandatory with all "easy peasy" Landy jobs

Apply 12v positive directly to the wire going into the injector pump. Not a common fault but an easy place to start

In theory the leak off pipes can't allow air into your fuel filter - that's just theory though and Land Rover have shown us all it's capable of achieving the impossible

Maybe it's time to do test's that we know are wrong Disconnect the inlet air pipe from the back of the air filter - yours is a defender so it's different from the disco I have Disconnect the turbo to injector pump pipe and see the results - if nothing changes it might tell us something - not...

Another very common problem on the D1 is the circuit board - green in colour and housed in a black box - normally under the cubby hole but you have a funny steering wheel position On normal RHD cars it is mounted horizontally and there are two sets of wires plugging in and each wire set is...

1 other thing worth trying as it is easy to do is to disconnect the rubber pipe going to the waste gate and blank it off. I did that using a short bolt that screwed in nicely and some wire as a clamp - that was 7 years ago

I have a D1 and by removing the aircon belt tensioner I can get a thin long 10 mm socket onto the 3 bolts holding the cam belt pulley to the injector pump. By loosening the three bolts I can change the timing just enough to give me more low down power or high end power at the loss of power at...

Thing is adding extra fuel without extra air will only create a serious amount of heat . An egt gauge is a must if you start playing with that fuelling. It is a nut on the back of the pump - probably has some sort of anti tampering wire on it - Loosen nut and turn screw with a screwdriver...
