It's a real shame to hear you have the same problems as we suffered, I have since spoke to a number of people who to this day can't definitively give an answer or solve the problem. As I said in my last post there comes a time to call it a day and move on. If you do get lucky (if that's a fair...

Well, it's now Mid-May, and we've been running the smokey freelander on and off now since the original post in December, I've put everything back to standard, ecu map, egr valve etc etc. Let it stood for 2 weeks, pre-heated about 4-5 times and starts up fine, drive it about 2 miles whilst cold...

http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/td4-white-smoke-misfiring-2000-rpm-162464.html See this post .... this is exactly the same as mine (problem that is !) Come on chaps ..... get your thinking caps on ! Dave

Hi Tim, welcome to my world !! I have EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM and I mean EXACTLY ..... Follow the link below to see what we have done, goto the first page and have a good read ! It's bad that you have the same problem but you know you're not on your own with this one.. Dave...

Hi, sorry my mistake, i havn't changed a temp sensor, although it does take a while for the engine to warm up, and when it does the gauge only goes to 11.00 o clock, is this normal or should it be at 12.00 ?? also just found out it's got a fuel burning heater (looks like a winter kit, heated...

Cheers for that, well i've just got in a had a coffee (10.45pm) - So results are ....... Over the past few weeks we have :- Overhauled all four injectors & reseated them (twice, the reseat that is) Fitted the EGR Bypass kit, re-mapped the ecu Replaced map, maf and temp sensors, checked all...

Hi Chaser, if you think about it the chain makes all the difference, the crank sensor tells the ecu it's 6 deg. before TDC, this starts fuelling at the correct time, the ecu doesn't know the chain is stretched as the cam sensor is not in use whilst running, so the cam would be slightly out of...

Hi TD John, thanks for your input, I have still got the OEM EGR valve in place, this is being changed tonight, I will post the results later or tomorrow. Watch this space ..... If it doesn't work after this my only question is shall I buy half a gallon of petrol or a full gallon and a match...

Hi TD John, I would have thought so too, "But wouldn't that help by allowing longer to burn the fuel before the valves opened ??" But after a little more FAFFING AROUND I can confirm that it is quite different when the engine is under load, Here Goes, Start-up from cold, no problem, smooth...

Hi Mickymck, I wasn't aware they did cut out the engine when hot if the sensor fails, I have known them fail when hot and make restarting a hot engine difficult. I was of the understanding that the cam sensor is used only on start-up, it tells the ECU where TDC is on number 1 cylinder (or no. 4...

What fuel are you using? Normal diesel or bio / rapeseed mix etc? Make sure it has 'normal' diesel in, its a bit cold for the other mixes at the moment, Also check the air filter for condition and surrounding hoses, make sure that the hoses at the front of the engine air intake and intercooler...

Chaser is correct on this one, the cam sensor is only used on start up on this ECU to tell it when to start fueling, after this is sits there and plays suduko !

markyzs180 ... Don't use a 10 weight oil in winter ... Use a 5w / 30 semi (or fully) synthetic, you need to use a lighter oil in lower temperatures to maintain the best lubrication possible, thicker oil is not good in winter .. trust me on this one, we see forklifts left outside over the winter...

Hi all, I am the mate of Phil's who has had the smoke on start problem, and I use the word "HAD" the problem, as the problem has just about (95%) been eliminated..... Go get a cuppa, sit back, relax and read what we (Phil and I have done) .. It will open your eyes to some of the problems which...
