No, not really. At first I thought the egr valve had stuck open, which is still a possibility, but it could also have been open to long due to an ecu fault.

Update. So, Car has been in garage (Clarkson 4x4) for 7 days now. Rang them up this morning for an update, and they said they were going to try some second hand injectors. :confused: Injectors causing limp mode and engine cut out? No smoke, no misfire, Starts first time? WTF? They seem to have...

So I told them to knock out the cat, which they said they did, and guess what?.......No bloody difference. :frusty:

Well mate, now your making me think. Your the second chap that's mentioned a blocked cat. booboodag also had this problem and the same solution. I'll be telling the 4x4 specialists where my car is now about this. It's sounding like a possibility, as their initial scan didn't show anything...

Hi mate. Checked all those things, several times, and before I fit the new wiring harness I cleaned and sprayed with switch cleaner all the plugs, and checked the wires. Turbo vanes seem free enough and I ran a complete new vacuum tube to the actuator solenoid, of which I also changed. Last...

Replaced the entire front wiring harness. Took about 4 hrs + bodging the missing intake manifold temp sensor wires, about another hour and a half................ A pain in the arse to do, and still didn't cure my problem. Grrrrrr!

Ahh, OK, I hope it's better than the one Jake Wright's had, as theirs showed nothing up either. I also bought a 'Creader V' by Launch as recommended by Rover Ron, and that showed no fault codes either. Grrrrr! Where are you anyway Matt?

What's a Hawkeye Matt? :confused:

Well that's me done. I'm now fresh out of ideas. Just spent 4 hrs changing the front wiring loom, only to find the new one (second hand) didn't have a pair of wires for the inlet temp sensor. So another hour and a half stripping the wires out of the old loom and re-routing them to the ECU box...

Aha! so where can I get a copy? ;)

Thanks matey. Where did you get that page from? I have Rave that I downloaded from here, but that page is not on it as far as I can see. Cheers. Andy

Anyone know where to get a wiring diagram for the pin outs of the 05 TD4 ECU? I am trying to trace a possible broken wire from the turbo boost solenoid to the ECU so I can run a bypass. Any help appreciated. I think I have identified them but would like confirmation before I cut and replace. I...

Bugger all's worked so far so my last idea is possibly a broken wire to the boost solenoid. Does anyone know where the other end of the wires go? presumably to the ecu? anyone got any photo's identifying the correct wires, one's red and white and the others brown and white.

OK, update Changed the fuel rail sensor, Runs a little smoother but no different on the drop in power. Just changed the vacuum pipe from the plastic reservoir on the nearside to the solenoid valve for turbo. I'll see what happens tomorrow. Running out of ideas now. I have noticed though...

If you forgot to put the intake temperature plug back on, or the contacts in the plug are bad/dirty, that may be why your getting the black smoke. check this thread. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/black-smoke-224520.html Andy.

Haha! It may be by Yanks, but it's still funny how many of the faults pointed out are on here all the time eh? :mooning:

Hi fellas. Just came across this whilst browsing for prices on the net. Really interesting, although you'll probably wish you'd never bought a freelander, and if you haven't yet, it might make you think twice. Enjoy. ;)...

Just borrowed one of those to try, thanks to a helpful chap on here. I may get a chance to try it tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

Cylinder head gasket maybe? It may have filled a cylinder up with water, As someone else said, take out the plugs and turn over the engine. Don't be near the engine compartment when you do it.

Been in touch with Rover Ron who seems to think it's the turbo's VNT mechanism sticking, so had a go at it tonight. It seems free enough now after a few pulls and a bit of lube but time will tell on my drive to work tomorrow. I'll keep you informed. Andy. Oh yes, I'm looking into the actuator...
