Ok, it was oil pushing up out of the injector 4 port past the rocker cover gasket. In my case it looks like the cause was a blown turbo. Thanks...
Definitely not the cam cover bolt - I learnt that one the hard way in the early days.;) Just like the existence of the crankshaft breather.:D...
Slow progress! Ok....pulled the no.1 injector (again!!) cleaned the shaft, seat, refitted with ceramic grease AND.....still blowing. I may be...
I know this is an old post, but for anyone with the same question I did change mine recently and did so without removing the cam cover / draining...
Aarghhhh! I think you lot have crystal balls;) All ok to start with, but pretty soon back to square one. Hell of a lot of cranking to start & I...
Ok, took a week longer than I expected but I finally got the time to work on it. Starting has been getting progressively worse & it had started...
Thanks for that - If I wind up trying this method are you saying I need to remove the injector fixings completely? I was hoping to just allow a...
Wow thanks for the post & pics! I’ll have a go at it this weekend, hopefully I can get it out without breaking something!
Slow starting, a little lumpy for a few seconds and exhaust gas smell through the cabin blowers tell me I need to take a good look at the...
MAF was the culprit. I tried cleaning with a purpose MAF cleaner. Visually it did the trick, but the sensor was still faulty. I’ve replaced the...
Thanks. 90% sure its the MAF sensor - I reconnected everything and went on the school run this afternoon - fault reoccurred - I had put the tools...
It's only 'drivable' due to the miracle that is effortless diesel torque;) On the flat I can get 'er into 5th and do about 20-25mph on idling...
ok, drove it around for a while this morning on the school run then plugged the magic box in. I was hoping to get some 'good' data to compare with...
Hmm..mine’s a manual td4 & no cruise control. Probably the same wiring loom though. I will try and check that nothing else has been wired into...
I haven’t checked voltage to the pedal but I have looked at ecu data while the fault is live and seen the demand from the pedal registering, both...
Forgot to mention - 2003 td4 Freelander. Once the engine goes cold, it’s fine like nothing happened
Ok, this is an intermittent problem that’s becoming less intermittent! If I drive the Freelander out 20 mins or so & park up, when I come to start...
Thanks for that idea - I’ve ordered some of that & also some ‘liquid electrical tape’. Used on boats, so should handle a soggy UK winter!
Ok, so after being parked up overnight the fault has disappeared. Everything working fine, no engine management light. Lends weight to moisture...
All good questions, mine was mundane by comparison - https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-td4-dead-throttle.365549/#post-5017951 I...
