Today I put mine in van mode for renovating and moving into new abode, which best of all has a detached garage for me to live in. Oh, also looked in the boot cubbyhole and baled it out. Grandson was impressed with my luxury car pond though. Not all cars have that.

Well, didn’t take long to find something else! One of the coolant hoses to the IRD has nearly been split by the gear change mechanism rubbing it as gears are changed. I have managed to move the hoses so it doesn’t chaff anymore. Have to change the hose soon as but didn’t have any handy...

Nasty. That looks painful.

Thanks. Just driven around a bit and I am pretty sure that has sorted out the problem. Leaked a lot from those connectors and I never even considered they could be responsible! Seems to be running better too although that may be psychological! Every day’s a school day. Now to wait for the next...

Received new ‘o’ rings for the injector spill off connectors and fitted them. The old ones were absolutely brittle and useless. Dried up the leaked diesel around the injectors and am really hopeful it was as simple as that to fix 🤞

Thanks, I will have a look.

So I think the leak is the injector return spill pipe. Does anyone know where I can get the replacement brass fittings that go in the top of the injector that replace the plastic ones? Thanks

Found the leak! The top of the injectors was flooded. I am thinking it’s one of the diesel feeds to an injector because if it was an injector leaking like that wouldn’t performance be affected? Which it isn’t.

I was contemplating trying to find the intermittent diesel leak on the FL TD4 but decided it was too cold so wussed out. I am wondering if it could have something to do with the FBH as it occurred to me I haven’t smelt it for a while and on closer inspection concluded that it isn’t actually...

My fuel filter is by the rear wheel but thanks for replying 👍

I have had a look for the templates and have not got them. I do have the cartoon instruction book if you need it?

I seem to have developed a slight diesel leak on the FL1 TD4. I think it drips a little bit from somewhere in between the bulkhead and engine which is leaving a few drips on the floor when parked. The performance and starting is all fine so I am wondering if it’s something to do with the fbh or...

I had the cartoon book of instructions for ages but not seen it for a while. I may have chucked it all somewhere ‘safe’ together. I will have a look tomorrow.

Looks like it’s done about 180 thousand miles if I was to guess

I fitted the Freelander spotlight kit on mine a few years back. Think I got them for about £30 on EBay. And they actually work and everything
