I'm going to try a different version. I presume the engine needs to be running when the air path calibration is done? Just for absolute clarification can I confirm the ignition positions: 0 = key out of the slot 1 = key in the slot 2 = key in the slot, Start button pressed to illuminate dash...

If I do that here are the only options that I see: Do I need an older version of SDD do you think? Surely there must be a way to do it in v164 but I've had a pretty good look around now and can't see it.

I haven't spent much time poking around in SDD yet but I haven't seen Air Path Calibration. Do you happen to remember where I would find it please?

Wow! Finally got SDD working. After buying and returning 3 Windows laptops from Ebay :rolleyes: (the first came without the advertised PSU, the second was wildly different spec to what was advertised and the third was advertised with Win10 and an OK battery but had neither!) I was about to throw...

I presume it calibrates the end points of the throttle (and possibly the EGR??) so that the ECM knows the limits etc. In my thread here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/fl2-engine-stopped-while-driving-dropped-valve-engine-swap.388726/page-10#post-5678131 I describe the fault codes I'm...

I've just bought myself a Lenovo laptop, my first Windows machine in 25 years! I've been a Mac user for so long that I'm very rusty on Windows. It seems I've fallen at the first hurdle as I can't create a bootable Win7 installation USB stick. I've borrowed my son's Windows laptop, downloaded the...

The EGR assembly was all supplied with the new engine. The TB could be something as daft as me forgetting to connect the plug to it?? I’ll have a look when I get home. It would be nice if the glow circuit was a relay as I’ve got all the ones that came off the old engine. Many thanks 👍

😩 Well after initially having the FL2 performing happily it was parked up for a few weeks. Then, when I drove it last week it was very limp and lifeless. I thought it had gone into limp mode but there's no warning light, it just has no power at all. My mate came over with his diagnostic reader...

I was asked by @fashratty about my experience removing my FL2 2.2 TD4 engine (3 times!) and the sequence of operations that I went through to do the work. I thought I'd share my process here, hopefully others will find something useful. The job isn't too difficult but I'd take your time and...

Well, it's been about 3 weeks since I got the old FL2 back on the road and she seems to be behaving very well. I am really hoping that I never have to do a FL2 crankshaft seal change again so if anyone is interested in the tool that I made to set the seal just drop me a PM and I'll send it on...

After the demise of my TD4 engine a few months back (it dropped a valve into the cylinder and heavily scored the bore) I swapped the engine out for a complete unit and broke my old engine up for spares. I've decided to sell some parts to try and recoup some of my expenses for getting the FL2...

Hi Steve, Many thanks mate, the support from you and everyone else has been invaluable along with the brilliant library of knowledge that this site has become thanks to contributions from folks like yourself. I am really hoping for a period of trouble-free motoring though I am slightly nervous...

Ladies and Gentlemen, drum roll please... I think we have a winner! :vb-party:🎉:vb-party2::vb-partyguy::vb-party3:🎉🥳 👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️ I'm still holding my breath a little bit, just in case something goes horribly wrong. I finished putting the car back together again...

Thanks Nodge 👍 . It does look to be in a very similar location to the original and it is now very squarely set. Last time around I did use a very thin smear of grease on the inner lip. That will teach me to ask my "old" mechanic mate for advice! The new one came with specific instructions not...

Yes, I found that same page :D . It looks almost identical to the FL2 manual, presumably it the same AT in the FL2 and the early Evoque. After ordering the seal fitting tool from Halfords I had an email to say that it was going to be delayed and wasn't going to arrive until late next week. With...

Thanks for all the tips, suggestions and moral support everyone. The oil seal tool arrives tomorrow to I am going to get back in the workshop and sort it once and for all 😁 . As I was also losing ATF I'm going to replace the TC oil seal as I'm assuming that is the cause of that leak. I replaced...

This is going to be the last time I'm doing this job so I just bit the bullet and bought the Laser 6133 (LR 303-538) crankshaft seal tool. I figured I can sell it on again when I'm done with it. Bizarrely Halfords were the cheapest with next day delivery! They do seem to be more sensible on a...

Not taking any chances this time around, bought the genuine LR (made by Corteco it seems) seal. It feels much more substantial than the Payen or Febi ones I've tried. This one also came with very clear instructions which I'll be following to the letter. The only thing it doesn't really specify...

Thanks for all the support and advice guys, it really does help. Does anyone know the specifications or dimensions of the LR tool that's used for setting crankshaft seals? When I removed the old one it was quite recessed and from looking at blurry pictures of the LR tool it seems to have a step...
