Well, the overhauled injectors in - problem solved! No smoke, smooth idle, powers back and the exhaust smells clean.

Had a phonecall from Diesel Bob on Saturday saying the injectors werent in the best of shape. A few were overfuelling and one delayed fire - which is what I was hoping for! The injectors are currently being overhauled and will be collecting later on. Fingers crossed.

Thats an interesting one! Ill be sure to check that later - thanks.

Re-fitted the injectors this evening - no difference :( Injectors back out again - packaged and ready to send off to diesel bob in the morning. I took a video - currently uploading (upload speed at home is really bad!)

Thanks for the advice - always wary with metal surrounded by plastic! Studs are fine - was following the spec 5NM + 180°. Clamp went around 150° - fractured from the thin part at the back. New clamp arrived thismorning so will be back to the unit after work later.

The used sensors and injector turned up yesterday. - Swapped over the sensors, still nothing. At this point I noticed the EML on the dash illuminate, extinguish then illuminate again shortly after when the key was in position II. This signaled to me that the engine had done its self checks...

That's great - thanks. Will let you know how things go.

Hello, I am currently attempting to repair a 2003 Freelander TD4 for a friend. My friend finished work, jumped in the car and attempted to start, it cranked and didn't fire. This was consistent, there were no missfires or "close starts" - it just plain refused. The AA was called out and the...
