Go on do it. Just secure it in a vice first and don't aim it at the cat. They're cheap enough to give us some entertainment in your description of what calamity unfolded. :D

Nothing wrong with the 1.8 K Series, so long as you don't mind replacing head gaskets. Depending on where you live and type of driving, they can be cheaper to run than the diesels. Your problems are 101 Freelander. Its likely the IRD/diff has been damaged from previous use. If they are then...

Going by what I see on here, these non start issues are generally fuel, or electrics relating to fuel. The regulator O rings, fuel rail sensor, lift pump being the primary ones. It would be interesting if easy start would fire the engine up. It can build the revs up so that O ring leakage and...

Yeh, but in previous ownerships, its possible that the earth for the relay has been rerouted to a permanent earth to bodge other issues. Unlikely, but possible.

Just scary wimmins.

Did it fix it?

I agree it is unlikely to be immobiliser - but it is possible to get cranking but the engine ECU fuel injection is imobilised (at least on early cars). If you have diag kit, worth having a looksie. Should also tell you fuel pressures.

The pics above are for a TD4, yours is an L Series diesel. I agree the starter is probably faulty. In which case, I'd just replace it - they are cheap and easily accessible on the L Series. I've had to replace mine twice. From memory, there are a (couple of) spade connectors and a screw on...

If you used bolts made from the same stuff as the IRD filler, its would prevent possible damage to the IRD :oops: Unfortunately, that is the limit of my knowledge.

Think you need to put standard/stock rims on it ;)

Where did you get these from? They look really good.

Strange comparison F2 or Defender. The F2 is undoutedly much more comfortable than a Defender - there is no comparison. If you haven't driven one, you'll be surpised at how solid an F2 feels and how awesome they are to drive on road. If the same bits break on a F2 as a Defender, they are...

Have you been losing coolant? Have you tried a search (top right of page) for those error codes?

Freelander 2 was released in 2007 (maybe 2006). A 2004 car would be a Freelander 1.

Have the full stop and comma keys stopped working on your keyboard? @kevstar may have some advice. BYW... You're old ;)

They didn't make an F2 in 2005 either. Other than prototypes maybe. Or indeed a 3 door DS unless I'm mistaken.

If it were the ECU cutting the engine you wouldn't get the symptoms of your "1st Time" stall - ie roughness then gradual loss of power until it stalls. That does not sound to me like the ECU cutting the engine or even going into a limp mode (if the TD5 has one). Or indeed your "2nd Time"...

Blinkin Ek, keep your drawers on. Are you all hysterical women in the Disco section? If you trace the roots of the TD5 engine, I believe it goes all the way back to the 1.8 petrol engine used in the MGB. Its most recent predecessor that it was developed from was the L Series, before that the...

Photos or it didn't happen! Have to say, in many ways I wish I'd put the money that I spent on my F2 into rebuilding the F1. With a $13.5k budget could have done quite a job. Mind you I do enjoy driving the F2 as well.

Cracking motor. The D2 ain't to shabby either.
