Well this is embarrassing, but for completeness of the thread here goes. Everyone said it was the stop light switch and it was. The main issue here was I didn't realise there is a stop light switch and a brake pedal position switch. I replaced the latter, obviously to no avail. I have now...

I know, just had a quick look.....£190 for an access code. I've looked at the icarsoft ones before but didn't take the plunge. There're a bit more reasonably priced, but then if they don't read that one vital thing that you want then what's the point.

Thanks Grumpy, tried to go down that route with a friends Hawkeye, but he doesn't have access for freelander vehicles.

Will do Mad.. Reverse lights sorted. Someone, in removing the gearbox to do the clutch, hadn't removed the connection and pulled the connection apart. No further forward with brake lights.

Thanks Madmustang, treating as two separate issues now to try to simplify things. Reverse lights just don't work, hopefully just the switch. Brake lights, well, stationary with engine on they work fine. Well I would say that the brakes are actually working before the lights come on, but that's a...

Thanks for replies guys, guess that's me occupied for tomorrow. No towbar freelance. I have rave but it's for the older L series and I don't know what has changed ( for example can't find any ref to PiffPaffPuff :-) , but using it as a guide all the same. I'll change the fuse for a different...

Thanks Madmustang, confused, why would a corroded bulb cause the rear wiper to not fire up? I'm trying to find a common denominator and the header is the only one other than the ignition switch which I have cleaned and now know to be good. I hoped it would be the switches and therefore two...

Sorry, probably covered before but can't find any solutions. Problem: none of these lights work, nor does the 'reverse' wiper. 2 amigos on. Situation: Fuse 2 is ok and has power. Brake pedal switch has power. Have renewed the switch. bulbs light with 12v direct. Don't know where header 0286 is...

It's a Rover Ron box. Change fuel filter when it needs it. ie won't go above 2500 rpm. I have conducted speed tests to confirm performance improvement: Focus RS doing 40mph Porsche G3 doing 50mph Evo 8 doing 60mph. I was able to overtake all of these 'performance' cars with ease:-) But...

Didn't want to say as part of the post as it would probably have been blamed but I have been running this on 50% wvo for 23,000 miles now with no issues, apart from this;). She has tuning box, k&n panel filter and turned up turbo and goes great. MPG equivalent ( cost wise ) to straight diesel is...

Solved! In the absense of a lift pump in the tank there is a priming bulb in the engine bay. The check valves were full of crud. Simples, after much heartache. Thanks for the input guys.

Ok, that didn't do anything. Could it be an electrical fault with pump control or throttle potentiometer?

Ok I have taken on board the tank thing and have removed the plastic cage/swirl pot/pickup from the tank and cleaned it through. FYI there is no pump in there. Will take car out later to see if that has helped or not. Will keep you posted. JRNORWAY, thanks, I will keep this in mind and hope...

Thanks Mr Prime, please correct me if wrong but td4 has this pump not the older l series motor........?

Hi, thanks for those. Not what I want to hear of course. Re in tank pump, there isn't one, but thanks for that.
