Thanks for the info. Lots to look into but having the Hawkeye gives me a much better view. I will check the live data on the TPS today. I found out how to do this and will compare the values to the given data. I don't have the RAVE manual. Is it possible to download it? The Hawkeye gave out...

Hi, I found the brief description on the Hawkeye. Code 132 seems to be the issue. Charge Pressure Sensor error. Is this the Bosch sensor connected to the Turbo? Also can anyone tell me where the pipes connect to the bulk head sensor. This is the one with the fuel filter in line.

Hello, back again. I've been out of the country for a few weeks but decided to buy a HAWKEYE with the Freelander diesel code. So checked it out last night and ended up with three codes. 133 132 144 Just doing an Internet search I found the following for 144 P0144 Engine Trouble Code Meaning...

To clarify, the pulley has not been touched at all. All I can tell you is that one tooth adjustment has solved the starting problem. My focus is now on the tickover and accelerator issue. I purchased a refurbished ECU from the ECU Doctor in Plymouth on the agreement that if it didn't work I...

Firstly tanks for so much input, Let me reset this thread by clearing up the history. When I bought this car it had been off the road for a year, I don't know any history before this. Once I got it trailered home I did some basic work which enabled it to be driven. The engine started well and...

Both pins were used to set it up. The really difficult one at the back of the engine which engages into the flywheel and the 9.5mm which goes into the HPFP when setting the timing for the diesel pump. As stated in my last post we are very comfortable with the timing setup now as it starts...

-Hello, Have spent sometime this afternoon with my Father-in-law working on the Freelander. We went through the HPFP timing belt setup process and checked everything that we have done. It all seemed correct (2 pins plus align and 6Nm of torque on the tensioner) The engine was still a really...

The TPS was changed because i believed it was faulty. I've had to change 2 on different Rover 25's with L series engines. Putting a multi-meter onto the wiring and rotating the potentiometer i was able to see the resistance intermittently disappearing. I decided to dismantle it (with a...

Firstly thanks for the guidance, that's my Saturday booked up. I knew I was taking a risk but it wasn't big money. I also am a massive fan of the L series so it will be brought back to life ( like some magestic African animal) ok, a bit over dramatic. So when I bought it, other than it loosing...

Sorry,, I wasn't very clear. when the engine starts it runs at 1200 rpm and won't drop down to the normal 800/900 rpm. Also if you snap the throttle open the engine speed doesn't increase. Also if you slowly press the accelerator the engine revs very fast ( almost like an on /off switch). I've...

hi, I have had my Freelander 1 since last December and I still haven't managed to get it on the road. I bought it with a failed head gasket which was easily fixed. The engine reluctantly starts but the engine sounds very sweet. My problem is that it remains in cold start mode even when the...
