I worked with a guy that used to work in the GPO rebuild centre, a Morris 1000 van would go in be stripped totally all the bits where reconditioned like engine gearbox ect body repaired and resprayed, if they had carried on doing that it would be easy but other than land rovers when was the...

I used to bring back Cheese from UK by plane and had a cool bag rucksack but was always check out as cheese has the same sort of image as explosives when going through the scanner

Hi Cheddar most of the Intermarché's sell around here it is good, a bit more expensive than UK but not silly, Bacon I normally buy as a cooked meat same shape and smoked, would think it is the same bit of the pig but then I just fry it for about 1 min and it tasted the same in a bacon sandwich...

I had a 2.0 diesel when they first came out and it was okay but the one we have now, td4 drives so much better I know there is more to go wrong but there is space to work on it, no timing belt lots of info on line and here about problems, I would buy a well looked after late td4

Hi yes, you are right took it on holiday this week took us 8 hours to get here and was doing 130 kmh a lot of the time, but not all the time think we did about 650 km tank was not 100% full so at 7l per 100km would be 45L think tank is about 59l 7 L per 100 is good very good for motorways, may...

We got a 2006 td4 Freelander 1 great car looks good parts not expensive just use as a car have not put tow bar on it and might use it for going up a dirt track and that's all. The td5 disco would pull 3.5 tons off road no problem, but the Freelander will run for 8 hours at 130 kmh and use well...

might be but drives okay and was working okay one minute and then not the next on 2 cylinders, think next step is to swap the new injector into cylinder 1 or 4 as they are working and see what happens I am away for a bit so stopped using it, it is putting some diesel down into the oil. Also...

Hi I am having problems with my Citroen dispatch van, it is 2.0 hdi common rail engine, I was getting it ready for its pollution test and had put some injector cleaner in and was driving it just a bit harder than normal. I was going up a hill when I lost a lot of power, got it home, engine...

There is a utube channel LR time they are a German couple who have rebuilt about 3 2.7 and 3.0 l engines for discovery 3 and 4 all in English and a good watch

ordered repair kit for pressure regulator today

Have looked at repair kit for pressure regulator ("o" ring and seal) I can buy them off ebay UK but on a £12 item there is I think about £8 postage and £7 import duty to pay, if I can not find one here I will get one on order

Other thing is as the engine does start for around 2 to 5 seconds on first turn of the key I would think there is not a leak in high pressure side but in low pressure side and the first start is fuel left in high pressure side?

I thought that the air would get into the leak off pipes then as the low pressure pump pumps diesel up the return leak off (when engine not running but low pressure pump is turned on) this would allow air into the low pressure side when all turned off? but this is not really my thing

They all look good might try taking the leak off pipe off that goes back to filter blocking it off and seeing if it drops over night

I have seen a video of someone changing that on utube I had planned to have a closer look at that, tried to buy a repair kit but the people I was ordering other bits at the time did not have them listed, I will have a look for a kit

Seems to start better if you hold the starter until it fires

Hi all I have a problem with our td4 Freelander 1 2006 for some time it has not been the best of starters for some time, but is getting worse. It seems to have a problem with the diesel dropping back to the tank (so air getting in somewhere. If you just get in and try to start it it will try to...

Is the starter motor turning the engine? If it is not turning the engine is there a clicking noise when you turn the key (starter solenoid) working ? Did you return to the car and it would not start? people will need as much information as you can give them to be able to help

Did you run out of Diesel? was the engine running and it spluttered to a stop or did you go to start it and it did not start and because it was low on fuel you thought you had run out, it may have been the key ? always good to look at all options

You have got to also remember Land Rover like all car companies are like Britpart, they buy from the cheapest place they can and work to get the price down as low as they can difference is they do try to make the bit outlive the warranty. The over thing to think about with older land rovers is a...
