    Disco 4 (LR4) D4 selling advice/testing the water

    Sold it to a mate, £4500. Then it started ****ing about with boost leak faults so we’re working through that at the moment.

    Disco 4 (LR4) D4 selling advice/testing the water

    This isn’t a for sale thread, as you’ll see. Depending on the response, I might put a proper ad in the correct section. 2010 D4 TDV6 HSE auto with 220,000 miles. 1 year’s MoT. Tyres all very good. Work done in the last 2 years: - Body off, replace EGR and crossover pipes, timing belt and fuel...

    Freelander 1 td4 “the misfire”

    It’s been a while since I had a Td4, but they are often reported doing that (mine did). No particular solution as far as I’m aware. You could just ignore it.

    pressing out valve guides

    A couple of hours would be more than enough. Might be more effective to warm the head up, for two reasons: 1. You can get a greater temp difference by heating - -18deg is your limit with a normal freezer. 2. The head has more thermal mass, so won’t cool so much and jam the guide as you try to...

    pressing out valve guides

    I’ve not done it, but watched the engineering shop do them on my super Dexta head. They milled off the protruding part (to stop it mushrooming and jamming), then used a mandrel in the end of a hand-held air hammer to rattle them out. You might achieve the same by chopping/grinding the excess...

    Td5 clutch plans

    I did bend them up, but one of them bent back down in the struggle to get the box on, and got trapped. There was no way I was pulling the box back again, so it got cut off and chucked across the workshop :rolleyes:

    Td5 clutch plans

    Thanks for your advice @Brown - I fitted the LOF single mass bundle and all went fairly well. I didn’t find the engine crane through the passenger door all that easy, since the crane lifts from too far forward, meaning the transmission is rear-heavy, and the legs mean you can’t get a jack on the...

    Disco 4 (LR4) Tdv6 3.0 noise on deceleration

    2010, 216,000 miles. Auto. Seems to make a noise like a turbo wastegate whistler, when the accelerator is released. Like a whistle, but slightly ‘ragged’, descending in pitch, sort of ‘PEWWwwwww’. It happens when stationary, in park or neutral as well, if I rev and release the engine. Doing...

    Disco 4 (LR4) Tailgate intermittently won’t open - fixed

    No, BCM was fine, but according to my GAPIID it was reporting tailgate activation, but not sending the signal, as confirmed by multimeter. This was due to an overcurrent lockout unseen by the scan tool. It was the actuator failing that caused the fault. Connector under the seat was fine.

    Disco 4 (LR4) Tailgate intermittently won’t open - fixed

    If you’ve replaced the input (switch) and output (actuator), then the next step would be checking the wiring, especially the connector under the passenger seat as mentioned above. I traced everything back to the BCM, which is behind the glovebox. Beyond that, battery change or hard reset?

    Td5 clutch plans

    Thanks. Looks like the LOF ones are well regarded. Can I get away with pulling the gearbox/transfer box back on the cross member, as a whole unit?

    Td5 clutch plans

    The 90 is on 110,000 miles and the clutch is starting to judder, also lots of noise from the release bearing. It’s never let me down in 15 years, so I’m prepared to spend a bit. Parts: - Valeo clutch kit? I’d rather stick with a DMF so happy to replace that, unless someone strongly recommends...

    Disco 4 (LR4) Tailgate intermittently won’t open - fixed

    Yes @mattyjee the new actuator fixed it. Resetting the system sometimes works because of the overload shutdown mentioned above.

    Thanks. I’ll look forward to that at the weekend.

    Disco 4 (LR4) P1247 low boost pressure

    Sounds wonderful. Did you get hissing on acceleration/boost leak messages?

    Disco 4 (LR4) P1247 low boost pressure

    I saw your pic on the Disco3 forum. Can you get to the pipe with body on, and if so, how?

    Disco 4 (LR4) P1247 low boost pressure

    Thanks, I’ll give that a try. Do you think the exhaust gas smell could be coming via the EGR then?

    Disco 4 (LR4) P1247 low boost pressure

    Over 200k miles now. Previously had secondary turbo actuator faults, ‘fixed’ with replacement diverter valve and poking at the secondary turbo actuator itself (last year). Now has a pronounced hiss on acceleration that sounds like it’s from the air vents, smell of exhaust gas in cabin, some...

    MAF Amplifier - home brew = Leccy projects for the so inclined....

    Well, you think you know someone... Seemed alright to me, but then we never really crossed swords, other than early on when I had a hard job convincing him about something to do with a handbrake fault.

    MAF Amplifier - home brew = Leccy projects for the so inclined....

    What happened? We were having an interesting pm discussion about an electric fence energiser I was making, then he just dropped off the radar. Nice chap, I thought.
