It's a 94 manual so no EDC, solved the prob and was not heater plugs (although I've replaced them with NGK @£8 each). Basically the fuel had drained back into the tank overnight, a local Landy guy said I needed to replace the filter head. So trotted off to the scrappy and paid £10 for a used...

Lol. Sunny Chesterfield Derbyshire here. But ambient temp does affect biodiesel, I've noticed me "proper" butters gone hard in last week or so there's a drop in ambient temp. I will post what happens when I fit the new heater plugs.

Thanks for the input, given the price of glowplugs I'm gunna drop some in and see what happens. One thing I did not mention was that I run 100% biodiesel all year round and it normally just fires instantly. I make my own diesel so I'm confident in it but maybe I've left it a little late in the...

Disco refused to start this morning for first time ever. Pulled glowplugs out and 3 out of the 4 have failed however the 3 failed ones were very oily ? Is is a sign of some deeper issue ? Also any recommendations about a quality brand glowplugs welcomed........ I'm thinking bearmach Cheers in...

Yeah plenty of work recently lol, am a welder fabricator and have just fitted new inner wings etc, I can see next advice coming lol. I have skills but am rubbish with electrics it's like a black art to me, thanx again

All makes perfect sense until you said direct short to earth ???? Is that a Iive wire contacting thr negative earth body ??

Hi, got myself a electrical prob. I'm hoping it's been seen before and the solutions "known" It's a 94 300tdi, no air con abs or sunroofs. Basically the drivers side parking lights are out along with the dash illumination. Had a peek at the fuses and found a red 10amp fuse gone so I replaced...

shuttle valves inside ABS unit maybe faulty....the discovery ABS by-pass works on these....ive done it on mine (ps you still need to buy repair kit even if you by-pass)

error 2 may be reluctor ring ? (sorry if being stooped)

seems cheap....fill yer boots ! Diesel Synergy 2 Digital Tuning Module + MAF unit for FREELANDER TD4 mk1 + ROVER 75 / ZT £125 T | Trafford | Gumtree :)

you would get more of an increase in MPG by having some ju-ju beads hanging from the rear view mirror....always parking the car facing the east and having the interior altered by a feng-shui expert..........

try powering the glow plugs direct from the battery first thing in the morning when the engine is fully cold and see how it starts up....10-15 seconds of direct power then turn key......... IF it starts properly with NO white smoke then you then know they glow plug relays faulty.

Have you considered...if the relays clicking in and out and the cars starting.... but no light on dash that it may simply be the bulbs failed in the dash ?

300 TDI for me, better looks and drive. get the early manual NONE EDC model tho.

I do believe that the injectors would have faulty at the point of purchase, but to what degree will I imagine will be the crux of the issue. I also believe that the dealer should foot the bill in all reasonable fairness BUT doubt they will unless forced to by court. The warranty given by the...

Again I in my opinion (untrained legally) agree with this. See a solicitor, your local trading standards people and maybe the citizens advice bureau. I think a legal battle you may well loose may cost more than the injectors cost to be refurbed

You need a highly qualified mechanical engineer, whose qualifications cannot be disputed. Approach a local university....if you can get a professor of mechanical engineering interested who knows ! To my NONE legally trained mind... you have successfully repaired your car and proved the car to be...

I agree with this statement totally BUT to my mind you get around the variables buy being SPECIFIC to your own vehicle. After all your claim is based on your individual vehicle. If you have rebuilt/repaired your original injectors you may well have restored your car to a good mechanical...

Did you have the original injectors repaired ? or are they sat in storage somewhere ? Id GUESS they will be vital evidence if they are the cause of your mechanical problems. If you still have the original and unmolested injectors get them professionally examined by EXPERTS and ask then to...
