Update on my IRD JIG assembly and an attempt to torque the pinion wheel nut to 184ft/lbs.
I report ‘failure’. I used a 2mm steel plate to fabricate a locking device for the flats on the end of the ‘lay shaft’…Initially the locking device...
oh and I have an invitation from one of the clubs to join them at Pride of Longbridge this Saturday, assuming that the marshals even let me in a Landrover (it's doubtful). Anyway if I can get in then I'll be at PoL this Saturday with 1.8 auto.
I don't know much about Autel, but there is a comparison of tools here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-diagnostics-what-actually-works.378679/
Have you tested continuity from pin 7 of the diagnostic socket to the correct pin...
I fitted the V6 propshaft in the end, as it seemed to be in the best condition of all the propshafts that I have.
I stuck some tape on the shaft both sides of the VCU and moved the car about 50 metres. The tape still lined up. Also it's...
yes most of the ECUs are on the same diagnostic line, so, even though the 16 pin socket is inside the passenger compartment you will be able to find the wire on the engine ECU and create your own 16 pin socket in the engine compartment.
Very clever.
The diagnostics protocol can't tell which passenger door is open, as far as I know. Maybe it's a common wire for all three doors. It only knows drivers door or the others.
I now have some more Freelander 1 ECUs to reverse engineer:-
Instrument cluster
Diesel burning heater
V6 cruise control ECU.
For the TD4 it appears to be built into the engine ECU, at least from a diagnostics point of view.
I went to see Andy at AP Motors today, I don't think he's on here. He's based near High Wycombe.
Anyway he is prepping for sale a Facelift TD4 auto and what's interesting is:-
It's in nice condition
It's a HSE with I think must have every...
1.7kph when stationary is normal. I think that this is the "slowest" speed that it can sense.
The diagnostic protocol gets cut off above a certain speed, for "health and safety" reasons.
The ABS is not actually functioning when the diagnostic...
I have the T4 disc Freelander 35, but it doesn't have (as far as I can see) the capability to get onto Freelander 1 cruise control, and I temporarily have access to a Freelander 1 with cruise control, so I need this disc quickly, if anyone knows...
Hello everyone! Finally I have good news: My Freelander is back on the road! The only problem was actually the large fuse 120A from the alternator. Nothing else broke. I had no chance to get the fuse here. That's why I had to order it. When you...
I now have this working and I believe I know what happened.
Rimmer Bros sell two sensors.
YDB500311PMAP which has a right angle connector, and which Rimmers sold me as the "outer" sensors.
YDB500301PMAP which has a straight connector, and which...
Mine did a thing a few days ago that freaked me out.
It started this thing that it would crank and fire but would only fire for half a second or so and then die.
I put it on jump leads and then it ran but it's been in the back of my mind ever...
