I am trying to debug an issue with vibration of engine/landrover at around 2 to 2.5 k rpm. So monitoring stats. 2.2 diesel fl2 Should the throttle pos always be at 83.14 When I stop engine it briefly goes down to 5 but then goes back up to 86. Thanks for any values for comparison!

I've always had that little pause before it zooms off which is a bit of a pain at roundabouts etc. I think it is probably frowned upon but in urgent situations I find a left foot on the brake and a right foot picking up the revs just everso slightly (say up to 1k rpm) results in it going like a...

Thanks, it was quite the exploratory journey! And of course as soon as I posted my end diagnosis on the freel2 forum (where I had also been having this discussion) someone posted a link to someone who had the issue in the past. Shame they hadn't posted that a few days back - would have saved so...

OK providing feedback on this one in case anyone else hits the issue. The reduced performance when hot was caused by an interesting strategy the freelander 2 has. Initially it controls fuel pressure regulation with the PCV on the rail instead of the VCV on the pump. This causes lots of back...

I have investigated under the car and checked the turbo output hoses today. They look sound, however the input hose does not.. there has been a lot of oil coming out of the plastic downpipe to rubber union at the turbo. It is everywhere. I cleaned it up, and remade the joint, using some...

Further testing shows that the fan does come on at 97 to 98 degrees. So sadly the fan/fan controller is not the reason for my car loosing all power after traffic or towing :-(

It would be so cool (pardon the pun) if someone could pop out to their (dual radiator fanned) Freelander 2 2.2 and start the car with the ac off and get it up to normal operating temperature then see if the two fans spin! If they have obd and can look at the coolant to know when then even...

2007 Have changed the fluid again.. using the right stuff. Ratio errors and hard changes gone for now but on a 100 mile tow today i got transmission over temp again and lost all my torque. I also note that the iat value is 50 to 60 degrees and wonder if it is all related. The fan on radiator...

Hi all I am suffering from a terrible loss of power when towing and after traffic when solo. No codes to read when stationary but random gear box ones like gear ratio errors if scanned during motion. Most popular gear box error in motion is transmission over temperature. I wonder if there could...

Hey there. I wondered if you solved your freelander 2 mystery as i am suffering from the same issue and looking for inspiration! Whilst driving if I read errors I get random gear box ones about ratios. Most popular error though is transmission over temperature. I am wondering if my issue is...

Sadly that would seem not to be the case with my 2007 freelander. The connector on the back of the radio is totally different to the xtrons one. More pins. Also it does not have a acc wire or the aux which is in a separate plug. The good news is I have it all spliced in and working now. I have...

Just fitting one myself. I assume since you wrote this in July yours is all done. I have found the live on the radio and an acc signal from the dog socket. Then there's the 3 wires on the smaller plug in the radio for the line in (how xtron will play it's audio). What I have not found is am...

I am also interested in knowing the wiring for the back of the cd400 radio, as I just bought a XTRONS unit that goes where the OEM satnav screen would have been (if the option had been paid for). It is supposed to make use of the AUX input to the unit, but looking in the box there is just one...

My tip for this job if you intend to own the freelander long term is to replace the screw with a really long one. even if it is slightly fatter you can still get it to make its own thread. wind it in enough so you can feel it come out the other end of the bracket (but not so far it goes into...

Hi Guys, I have now finished replacing the VCU on my Freelander 1 TD4 with a brand new OEM one (and giving back to the community by publishing the rotation time test for a brand new one - which no one had bothered to do before.. 34 seconds by the way.. google freelander vcu jtq4u to see the...

Ok will do.. next time I get back from a journey and the wife isn't around (to moan about my misuse of time) then I will do so :-)

I think I am the first person to have published the results on a brand new genuine vcu. 34 seconds. for the one we took off the car (at 68k, 12 years) it was 46 seconds. Test to be done on cold car. At this reading you get a slightly worse reverse on full lock, though even on a brand new...

I tested two cars yesterday Test is 1.2m 5kg 45 degrees. 1998 with 146k 42 seconds ( Freelander vcu viscous coupling test 1997 146k - YouTube ) 2001 with 67k 46 seconds ( Freelander vcu viscous coupling test 2001 with 67k - YouTube ) Both probably need replacing I guess? The 1998 (brothers)...
