Hi, I have a 2004 FL1 TD4 with only 115 000 miles. I drive it mostly in the city, very little highway, motorway, autobahn ... There is a strong smell when the engine is cold ( outside of the car ), almost nothing but still present when the engine is hot. Should the cat converter be changed in...

Hi, The problem with drive shaft is getting decent ones, sure you can buy one for £100, you put it, it will do the job. But in less than 2 years you probably need to change it again … You need to put GKN driveshafts if you want something that last …

If that clip was undone certainly the pump was changed ? ( certainly the poblem we are looking for ), it was also rotated for and odd reason.

They have been already replaced, but they put poor quality hoses, you should replace them better quality ones. Just behind the injectors there is a filter that is never replaced LLJ500010

Hi, Don’t forget to purge the water separator. For the connector is goes there : You need to slide the metal clip between the fuel filter houssing and the fuel filter. I only see half of the metal clip, certainly broken look for that part YPZ000010 for a replacement. Also where did that...

It will return to dust 🤣 ( sold with almost no rust protection )

These cars are not well serviced, the propshaft should be checked, universal joint can have play, VCU bearing can have the rubber part split. The front diff support can have the rubber part split … Front Whishbones rust, there is one small hole next to ball joint, if it’s clugged … Also next...

Smoke is not normal … Check the boost pipes, the one that you put in picture, sometimes it is split, check the full surface of the boost pipes with your hands to spot any hole or split. Boost can spot the EML light.

Hi, Steel wheels are car specific, only allow wheels can be used with plastic adaptators …

First with the engine cold, does it start on the button with stable rpm at idle ?

If you buy from a professional dealer you can go back. If not you can’t do anything, the car has 20 years … certainly not well serviced at all. Boost pipes can split a picture is beater, Also normaly when you buy the car, the car should pass the MOT ( vehicle inspection ) before beeing sold...

For how long do you have the car ? The MIL was certainly on for a long time. I don’t think the value is the wrong. Do you have a picture of your engine sometimes it can help to spot some issues.

The MIL for 32 000 km ? A wrong information ?

Hi, In your case a basic scanner is useless, you need live data from the low presure pump. Same for the HP pump. Also having the values at idle is better than a random rpm. Also your basic reader say the mil is on for almost 32 000 km, certainly an error ? Put the key on position 2, don’t...

Hi, You have bubbles in the coolant, when the engine is hot but no when it’s cold ? You have done a CO2 test with a cold engine and you have nothing ? Oil cooler ? More certainly a cooled EGR but only on FL2 not on FL1.

Hi For turbo hoses, use your hands, if there is a split it is hidden, you will not see it. But you will have your hands full of oil ;)

Someone has exactly the same problem as you : https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-td4-eml-with-exclamation-mark-appear-5-seconds-when-full-throthle.397000/

Hi, For the temp sensor, open your eyes look next to yellow oil gauge, there is a connector just next to it. The engine works perfectly without it. For fuel sensor, on your diag device you should have live data for the fuel presure first the low presure pump and the high presure pump. Check...

So if not a 4x4 anymore, you still have the inconvenients : - FL1 comes with a low gear ratio so you need more fuel to move it ... - The rear drive train need still to be serviced, diff need oil, it can leak ... and 2 rear drive shaft ... - The rear suspenssion is a 4x4 specific, more parts...

Anyone can become a professionel dealer, they sometimes fix wires under the seat with duck tape … In our case they certainly removed the propshaft themself to fix the car before selling it.
