This is an update to assist those with similar problems that I have had. Firstly there should be NO leak back from the injectors when the ignition is turned on! Mine had a dribble from number 3 which a local Bosch agent said was acceptable, when it definatley was not. I replaced the offending...

Thanks for the response Richard, I have an RAC mate who is going to put a diagnostic check on it this Saturday, I will post the result Thanks again.

Hi, I am just picking up on this thread through frustration! My '55 reg Td4 Freelander has had recon injectors, new glow plugs, oil & air filter changed, fuel filter under osr wing changed. An EGR bypass is fitted and I have a Synergy2 with cab switch and Pierburgh maf sensor. All was fine until...

Aaah early days...... yes I remember them;) Talk about other marques then, I had a Saab and that had both boost pressure and oil pressure gauges as factory fit. Going back to the Td4 I have located a "T" piece for the oil pressure sender which has M12 x 1.5 male to M12 x 1.5 female out and 1/8...

Yes I have already fitted the good quality stainless steel EGR bypass recommended by Ron. There is a 4/5mm dummy spigot that the vac tube fits on, so I guess this could be a good place to fit the boost gauge to. Have also fitted the Synergy 2a supplied by him with amazing results. This is why I...

As a 15/16 year old I can remember the words of my apprentice manager at HM Dockyard Portsmouth - "Lad" he said "As you get older, you'll learn not to lend your tools nor your WIFE out"..........."Why"? I asked innocently. "Coz they will come back f**cked"! Something that I hold dear to this day...

Can anyone tell me the best way to connect my two new boost & oil pressure gauges on Td4 Freelander engine please. I have fitted the gauges or rather the pod to take them, but before running the connections through it would be good to know the two best locations. I take it that the oil pressure...

Hi all, Just joined and looking at the forum for some answers, so hope someone can help me here. I have a 2005 Td4 auto and although it has covered 180k it does not look older than a motor at say 50k. It has obviously had a couple of careful owners judging by the service history I have with it...
