Hi Guys & Gals.
I changed the gearbox oil again yesterday and new washers were used, they also were used when i did it originally just forgot to mention it so this time round i have.
As with original oil change always make sure you can...
Nothing wrong with the 1.8 K Series, so long as you don't mind replacing head gaskets.
Depending on where you live and type of driving, they can be cheaper to run than the diesels.
Your problems are 101 Freelander.
Its likely the IRD/diff has...
Going by what I see on here, these non start issues are generally fuel, or electrics relating to fuel.
The regulator O rings, fuel rail sensor, lift pump being the primary ones.
It would be interesting if easy start would fire the engine up...
Morning All,
An update on my 'Rough Running' Been in the garage and subject to test drive by the garage and full diagnostic check. It would appear that I have been lucky in some ways and unlucky in another. Although all the tyres are the same...
The 50th, if and when we get the K-series reliable (!) will be a sunny days and camping car (thinking something like a tentbox lite 2) for the odd weekend away with my OH.
Anyhow...somewhat unusually i've started beautification, even though we...
Yeh, but in previous ownerships, its possible that the earth for the relay has been rerouted to a permanent earth to bodge other issues. Unlikely, but possible.
I agree it is unlikely to be immobiliser - but it is possible to get cranking but the engine ECU fuel injection is imobilised (at least on early cars).
If you have diag kit, worth having a looksie. Should also tell you fuel pressures.
The pics above are for a TD4, yours is an L Series diesel.
I agree the starter is probably faulty. In which case, I'd just replace it - they are cheap and easily accessible on the L Series. I've had to replace mine twice.
From memory, there...
If you used bolts made from the same stuff as the IRD filler, its would prevent possible damage to the IRD :oops:
Unfortunately, that is the limit of my knowledge.
I absolutely would not be putting that stuff in any vehicle I own. HG failure is rare on the TD4 so I'd definitely be doing more investigation on where the leak might be first. Compression test first, and if that's okay, have a look at other...
Ya spare one
Fixed it
He’s a lad with a young family so money a bit tight I would guess
He was over the moon when it started 😁
We have all been there 😂 the relief out ways the anger in the end
I have finally got to the bottom of this one. A combination of the garage that originally did the autobox change and actually underfilled the box, rather than over filling it, and me subsequently following the incorrect procedure for checking the...
Strange comparison F2 or Defender.
The F2 is undoutedly much more comfortable than a Defender - there is no comparison. If you haven't driven one, you'll be surpised at how solid an F2 feels and how awesome they are to drive on road.
If the...
The PTU oil is due to be changed again soon because the first change which i did in November 2023 was to me a flushing change, also my intention is this time round i will drill and tap a drain hole plug.
I have gathered the drill bits, taps, and...
