Thank you for the pic - I have been suffering the same problem intermittently for the past couple of months in my 2005 TD4, turn key, dash lights up but no crank. Thanks to the picture I was able to get under the car and find where the connector was in seconds. My connector was only half on...

Thanks for that, i'll get my probe out this weekend and have a poke about :-)

If i unplug the maf connector everything works as normal, I'm running out of ideas :-( I plugged a ODB2 connector in tonight to see if that would show anything but everything looked normal. I tried it with both new maf's plugged in and I could see a reading for the MAF. I plugged my original maf...

I ordered and fitted another MAF from ebay - a used Bosch that came with a guarantee. I get the same problem when i plug that in as i do with the brand new one. Tonight i have fitted a stainless steel EGR bypass and a set of blue DPH silicone turbo hoses in case they were somehow lending to the...

I have found a used freelander bosch maf on ebay for £15 - it says in working order - so for £15 i'm going to give it a shot - it should arrive this week sometime.

When I plug the old MAF in it is the same as when I have nothing plugged in

Hi, Firstly, thanks to everybody for their input, I really appreciate everybody taking time out of their lives to try and help me. So i have just done a couple of quick tests. With the new Maf connected (electrically) the car starts on 2nd attempt every time but wont rev. If i unplug the new...

I went to EK spares and gave them my reg number when I bought the part new. Not sure what the brand is? It was the whole assembly rather then just the sensor (the oval black plastic assembly with the sensor in it) Are the any pipes in particular I need to check? I did give the ones at the front...

Hi, so today I have fitted a new fuel filter under the rear wheel arch (which was a little awkward but manageable) and also a new maf sensor. I also removed the egr and cleaned it - it was caked with hard black gunge inside. Slightly different problem now. When the car starts and I try to rev...

Thanks for the replies. I have (tried to) carefully clean the MAF, along with any other sensors i could find. I put some premium Diesel in with a good dose of redex and have run it for a few miles - nothing has made a difference yet. I have ordered a fuel filter - the one that fits above rear...

When i turn the key, the engine starts and the revs wobble heavily under 1k for a couple of seconds and then it dies. It will do this quite a few times and then when it works the revs seem normal and the accelerator starts to work. Once it is running it seems fine apart from a very slight rough...

Great, thanks for your reply. Would a faulty MAF have similar symptoms to those i'm having?

I had a similar problem with mine. It was only when i took the spare wheel off the back that i saw the wiper arm was split at the bottom by the bolt - that was making the blade lift off the glass slightly.

Hi Everybody, I wonder if somebody could give me some help? I am having problems starting my Freelander. When i turn the key the engine fires up as normal for a few seconds and then dies. During the time it is running, the accelerator pedal doesn't seem to have any effect on the revs...

I've just spent an hour removing all the hoses, cleaning them and replacing them. I've just taken it for a test drive and it is still whistling, its almost a hollow whistle if that makes sense? I have just come across something else. The inter cooler seems to have a bit of play in it where the...
