Ok, got hold of another injector from Ebay, pulled out No.2 all beautifully greased up - thank you previous owner/garage. popped in the injector, all solved. probably took 25 minutes from opening the bonnet to closing it! after reading some horror stories about stuck injectors etc...got...

Does anyone know the difference between the '030' and '049' common rail diesel injectors? My '02 TD4 manual has the '049' ones fitted and I have one misbehaving one, but I notice that the '030' ones are used in the Rover 75 and are much cheaper . Can these be mixed and matched to the '049'...

Tried the MAF disconnect makes no difference. Just been for a 100 mile run and the car is fine so long as you have some load on the engine or are on over run. It doesn't like partial throttle or idling, definitely injector 2 that is playing up, disconnecting it makes has no change on the...

Good point no, I haven't tried that, I do have the ability to look at the MAF output via diagnostic port - what are normal readings for a known good MAF and the Freelander?

Is this engine prone to such valve seat failures?

Update: Engine now idling badly when warm, but actually drives Ok when revs kept above 1500. I disconnected each injector in turn with the engine idling, and injector 2 has no effect when disconnected. 1,3 and 4 make the idle much worse. So I guess I have a dodgy injector 2. These...

Hi No warning lights up. Starts first time but smokes and idles unevenly not much happens when you floor the throttle - just smoke and unhappy engine. Eventually picks up, but not happy. Once warmed up it is 100% better and drives OK but still has huge power hole before the turbo kicks in...

Hi My 2002 TD4 manual has recently developed a fault as follows: Starts on the button hot or cold. Once started it smokes and idles badly (worst when cold) When driven it feels like there is no power until the turbo kicks in, again worst when cold. Once warmed up (after about 10 - 15...

Today, I fitted a clutch, repaired non dropping rear tailgate glass, and welded up broken door check strap mount (O/S/R) To go: both rear passenger electric windows have died - no motor sounds, so blown fuses? Knackered motors? Dodgy switches? or any other variation on a theme.

OK, been very busy with work but finally got round to pulling the gearbox off. One very worn clutch, DMF well withing tolerance, so fitted a 3 piece clutch kit and now all is well. I could turn the friction plate with my fingers, no wonder I had no drive. Funny how it should suddenly just let...

Hi Turboman, thanks for the welcome. I'm just into Cornwall about 20 miles north of Plymouth, in Golberdon. I have already posted in the Freelander section. John

Hi Just bought a 2002 TD4 manual Freelander, and it is broken....good introduction to L/R ownership eh? Lost all drive, clutch pedal feels fine, gears all there (I think) but no drive. Suggestions greatly received, going to pull the gearbox and have a peak at the various exposed...

Hi I have a 2002 TD4 (5 door) manual that has lost all drive. Went to pull away and revs went thro roof (heavy foot!) but no drive. Clutch pedal seems to operate as expected, and all gears can be selected but no drive at all. Clutch broke? Johnb
