Hi Tucka. Strangely enough mines started doing after changing maf and pressure valve? Cured everything by changing the turbo and have now created smoke again by changing these two items but did check my pcv (new bmw type and have found there's no oil getting up there now! Maybe they just don't...

Thanks guys. Will let you know what gives. cheers everyone

No mate, it's black, blacker than i feel at the moment!

hi nodge,where is this solenoid pipe and how do i check the fuel pressure. Sorry to be so naive but as i said this is my first diesel and i'm an absolute novice. Haven't done anything since points, plugs and condensers bit the dust!

hi mad hat. just thought though could be possibilities as you here so many strange tales about having to reset this that and the other on these freelanders and seeing as this is my first diesel i'm quite lost at times .also when i'm driving there is sometimes but not always a smell of hot oil...

Hi everyone.just fitted a turbo to my Freelander 1 td4 (2006)and found i have no power when going up hills. there's no oil burning ,no water loss but there is a sign of choking off when changing gear .Could this mean the motor needs a re-mapping or could it be timing? P.S. loads of poke on the...

That should be crp 123

anyone know if the iscansoft cup 123 covers the freelander 1 td4

any body got any ideas on a hot oil smell coming in the cab of a 2006 freelander 1 td4 no oil leaks anywhere

Hi Acker. Don't know wether it worth me putting my kenneth in but i've just bought four for my mk1 td4 reconned at £150 each. New your looking at around £600 plus. Saw a firm on Ebay doing them for £59 odd but i thought it was safer buying local in case there was any problem. Hope this may help

Yes. Must say, i'm really taken with the td4 despite the niggles and problems i seem to be having. Only wish the previous owner had kept some sort of service history to give some clues. Only had it since July and already had to change the battery, all brake pipes with full slave strips, exhaust...

Hi grumpy, this td4 is the first diesel iv'e had so diesel is a whole new world to me. Wish i'd been able to hang on to my old Mk1 petrol Defender but had to sell it years ago when bringing up a family that had over 300,000 on the clock and still purred like a kitten. Didn't realise how many...

is there only one gasket for the inlet manifold or four?

Hi everyone. Thanks for being so helpful. Will start at square 1 and replace all filters (even though they've been done recently). I think the only filter that wasn't changed is the fuel filter so i'll start with that, then move on to all the other suggestions. will let everyone know how I get...

As far as i know the manifold has never been off. As i am new at this game, is it a difficult job to remove

Yes, oil level hasn't moved and was changed in july as soon as i bought it as there was no history with the vehicle Which was a bit of a concern so i got it checked by a mech but this has only started over the last 2/3 weeks

Ok , gotcha , that one has been changed for one of the newer bow type so which is the pcv filter then

Is the crank case filter the one at the front of the engine looks a bit like a bottle (or old SU carb shape.) or is this just the oil filter?As you can probably tell i'm pretty new to all of this

Sorry guys. Should have told you it's a 2ltr td4

Hi, its a 2006 with a 130,000 on the clock(march, last of the Mk1 series). have kept an eye on the oil level but seems to be stable, but is chewing diesel like it was going out of fashion. Probably on reflection the smoke is more greyish than blue but does leave an oily deposite on the...
