Turns over but wont't start (crank sensor switch?)

I Like the way he has quoted and replied to responses given by other people 7 years before he actually asked his question as if they are replying to his question......

But then I am just a Sad Farmer ............

Funny. Maybe the 7 year old posters were psychic?
All this rudeness over an O ring. What's wrong with people these days.

I must spend more time in the freelander section, seems you guys have some really interesting threads.

@Nodge68 , just do not mention that O ring...... Secret stuff you know.

Cheers

You've obviously had a look around as you've added to an existing thread, not started you own.

You'll realise then that threads on this forum do usually get lots of help and assistance.

Occasionally a post will not get a response. If you give the thread a bump, hopefully it'll get a response. If you give it a sarky bump, its almost guaranteed to get a load of s**t back and that ain't going to help you car start is it?

I'd be surprised if there isn't an FAQ on TD4 starting issues - if there isn't, someone with a TD4 really needs to compile 1 because the same questions keep coming up - which may be why you didn't get a response, people answer the same question over and over.

As has just been said, having replaced the fuel pump/filter - the chances are you problem is a simple little rubber O ring or a cheap bit of wire.

As a start have a look at this (no conclusion yet)....

Or this (once again no conclusion yet)...

Those are the kind of comments that won't get you any help. We aren't the ones that have a car that doesn't start, you are. If you want help, be nice. If you don't want help, then keep being rude.

well . I decided to use my superior mind and digest the freelander manual. what a load of crap that was , but I woke up last night and had one of my revolation dreams

I think you'll find the o ring was already mentioned by Nodge and Neilly and links to the same posted. Everybody else was just waiting for your superior mind to catch up.
Good to hear you got it sorted tho.

yep posted it on youtube had 10,000 views already that's money in the bank.

ps wont be using this again as it was a waste of effort so wont be replying to any more crap.
ill be to busy spending time playing with my phantom 4

Good luck flying to work on that then

You can't say things like that without a link or we won't believe you.

Seems like he was '110'd' too...............

Must have gone back to his 'job' as a 'night time repairer of church roofs'

You really couldn't make this stuff up, what a plonker

Yet again ..

I have been drawn back to the Freelander side......

But in my defence you guys do seem to be having the most fun over here.

Cheers

We have to have a bloody good sense of humour here - most of us own 'effing Freelanders !
Some here have to have a certifiably manic disposition also as they own the TD4..... - Laugh a minute

Yeah right. You dreamed up something that LR don't even know about. What a crock of ****e.
More like you researched after I mentioned the O ring in my post.
Enjoy playing with your toy, then get a life.

Strange......

But I still only want to see it as a bystander.......

I couldn't find anything on YouTube either.
I know there are more than 10,000 Freelander owner's throughout the world. But I seriously doubt there'll be 10,000 non starting Freelanders!!. And how does the money come rolling in anyway?

I wouldn't waste your time trying to find non-existing videos on YouTube. The guy is obviously delusional - as well as a prick of course.

hi guys

did this bloke forget to take his medication or something

if he goes through the land rover forums with that attitude and then has another problem he will have shot himself in the foot

maybe he's had to now go back to the asylum and managed to gain access to the local internet cafe

know he won't get anymore help so that's his problem
