Well that’s defiantly worth checking as I had new calipers, pads, discs and sliders fitted at the start of this year but the sliders did start to stick…..

Artic2 kindly messaged me the following: Regarding the MAF. That would be easy to rule out, unplug it and see if it stops the judder, it will go back to factory default. The loom from the high pressure fuel rail could be breaking down, there is a new loom you can purchase which is fitted...

Hi, Thanks for that, I was saying it feels like an unbalanced wheel but the fact it is an intermittent issue I can’t see how it could be…. From cold the car runs perfect, all speeds and all rev ranges. It only seems an issue after around 20 miles journey and then the issue. I will go around...

Hi All, Got another issue with the Freelander, it starts to judder when I’m doing 60mph about 2500 revs and then accelerate. It’s intermittent maybe more when the engine is warm because other times it’s running sweet…. It feels like a wheel is unbalanced but reading other threads it sounds...

lol….. I’ve never strangled a duck….. but I’ve…… 🫣🤣

Hi Guys, I little delayed but I kindly took Arctic2 up on his offer and we swapped out the EGR, for the EGR delete, and the manifold and the MAP sensor at the end of March at Steve’s place…. Plenty of cuppas and good chat and we got the car sorted running report it does run better and more...

Quick update on replacement bulbs…. Managed to order 10off from eBay, if when I got it works fine happy to send one to anyone that has a blown bulb for the cost of a stamp. Ordered these: 12V 100mA 1.2W 5mm Wire Ended lamps NEW Qty.10...

Hi All, Quick update, car is running well it’s still a little too Smokey at start up.. and on occasion doesn’t start first time. Looking at the EGR bypass, I like the new part but someone mentioned you can simply blank off the current one and it looks OME from the engine bay…. Can anyone...

Hi Guys, Sorry for bringing an old thread back from the dead but I have a loud knocking suddenly started, got it checked at an exhaust place and the exhaust is fine the undertray was a little loose at the centre back which won’t help but they found the rubber on my rear prop shaft bearing assy...

I’ll do a search for bypassing the EGR on here unless anyone can enlightening me?

Hi All, Apologies for not updating on this but eventually got the loom replaced and all starting and hesitation issues stopped… By the time it was changed even contact cleaner on the sensor and wiring connections only helped a bit… and it smoked so bad when attempting to start…. I have a...

Just a little update on a previous post where it was thought the ecu was fried… I can’t say for the other poster but back when mine was first fitted the car wouldn’t start and the fans came on, after panicking and reconnecting the old wiring and nothing happening it eventually started up again...

Oh man, your so right, I was thinking this does not look cheap….. But like I said this is a fantastic forum with really helpful people…. I’ve been a member since 2006 before I went and bought my Freelander and it’s always a pleasure….

Morning Guys, Old Thread but wanted to say thanks awayway… Friday coming back from work, low power black smoke….. worried I nursed it back home, quick google and straight to this thread and the intercooler pipe had popped off…. What a fantastic forum and people constantly helping others…...

Hi All, Can’t thank you all enough for your help. Fitting the Replacement Fuel Pressure Regulator Repair Loom tomorrow so all the help is greatly appreciated. Couple of observations with the starting of my car, starts up perfect first thing even when it’s cold out (definitely not a glow plug...
