    DS, Already in it. VIDA has so far thrown up 5 versions of my car, 2 of which were from dealer database. A TD4 is what it says, apart from a facelift. Volvos have many configurations of the same car.

    Thanks guys. I now own a Volvo and it makes a hippo look like a walk in the park maintainance wise. I'm missing the simplicity of the TD4 already, who'd have thought that about a hippo. Flatlander, I would love to stay and contribute but spend every waking hour on Google trying to find out what...

    Not a reference to FL1 purchase ;-) I have sadly sold my hippo due to health problems.......it was getting on my nerves and making me sick...no. Would just like to thank all those here who have given their time and advice freely, it was very much appreciated. I'd like to think I contributed back...

    Freelander 1 TD4 starting issue

    Blimey, that's a first and intriguing . As you have just bought them did they have these problems when you got them ? They both have fueling problems which are fixable just a process of elimination.

    Freelander 1 TD4 starting issue

    Maybe doing 20,000 miles in one hour, 116,000 to 136,000 ;) This thread is doubling up on your other thread as I'm sure the two are one and the same problem. You need to get your injectors tested which will show up any fueling problems

    VCU sellers

    You would need a vice or similar to hold it in.

    smoking and lumpy td4 on start up

    This subject has to be one of the oldest FL1 chestnuts. I have followed ALL the advice on this but the bloody thing still does it and no one has ever come up with a definitive answer.

    VCU sellers

    Got new GKN vcu and bearings, top job. I think this whole vcu life span is no different to cam belt life span. No one debates the life span of a cam belt, they usually just go on the manafacturers advice. At least with the vcu you can test it somewhat. I went on the reversing test and that was...

    Freelander 1 TD4 05 Strange electrical buzzing noise

    It's not that tricky a job, hardest part maybe the fuel filter as they can get jammed in solid, mine was.

    Freelander 1 joining propshafts to vcu & balance plates

    The ird box could be damaged. As this is your 1st FL I guess we'll be hearing from you a fair bit;)

    Can they be checked off the Car?

    I'm assuming that you want to turn this back into a 4x4 ? Some folk say the ird can get damaged in 2 wheel mode and although plenty do it, generally most think 2 wheel is a bad idea long term. Personaly, I would be concerned they just didn't put the prop back on to sell it, as it would command a...

    Terrible Engine Knock

    Could be crankcase breather filter but possibly turbo

    Black Smoke

    What were old pipes like inside, oil wise ? With turbo "related" probs, once you've gone through the cheaper/easier things then you are always left with the turbo itself. I used a dealer many years ago, but never again since. Many, not all, buy cars no one wants, for good reasons, and then re...

    fuel sensor clip broken

    Solved the problem with sugru, great stuff. It's the electrical plug for the sensor on the end of the fuel rail.
