Not sure what the CKP Sensor is, only thing simillar I can think of is the Crank Position Sensor which is a thing of mystery as I have never seen such a thing and I have even rebuilt my engine ! Please elaborate tony, I may be well off.

Installed the Third Fresh Sensor - everything was fine for my first journey today until I restarted the engine... back to square One :( Anyone ??

1998 2.0TD So, I turn the engine on (After waiting for Glow plugs to heat of course) and it revs for about half a second to somewhere around 2k RPM and then the MIL lamp illuminates (it drives ok, no smoke etc but is Limping on low power). After research I find it may be the Water Temp Sensor...

It was a fuse, it seems that F16 is Dash Lights as well as front Sidelight but most importantly it is ALSO Rear offside main tail light !

1998 FL1 2.0TD It's the Rear main light but the front side light (both offside) that are out but ALSO my Dash Lights are all out so I am guesssing there is a fuse somewhere I must have missed ? The day this all happened I used my Trailer that Morning so could well have blown something when...

Following up on my Thread Here. I did buy the Cheap Chinese One as above and it is still gling strong :) I bought it just for the sake of testing it.. I was lucky maybe, but then again I was due some Luck.

Many thanks for the detailed response - interesting. I disconnected my MAF today and my problems have gone, I am just a bit down on power now and have a little black smoke upon accelerating. What do you make of these...

I bought a used MAF as I am trying to solve black smoke on acceleration and idle at 1250rpm. Anyway, I saw One on ebay and bought it - It was advertised as a Mk1 Freelander MAF but it's Oval .. I assume its for the Petrol Engine? Can I take the actual sensor apart and swap things around with...

L (1998) Series Freebie 2.0 Diesel. This weeks problem (or One of them) is my Tick Over ! I take it that these are Fly by Wire ? How can I adjust the Tickover? The problem is, usually it ticks over at about 750 (at a guess) which is fine but when driving I notice quite a lot that we tick over...

Thanks GreyHair but DastardlyDan has kindly sold me his Turbo. While we are on the subject though, how can I verify that the Turbo is getting a good supply of oil ? I have taken the banjo bolt off and turned it over and the oil is flowing very well in that situation but I'm wondering if there is...

Dan - it IS an 'L' series - will PM you know.

Hi All, Rebuilt my engine after my first subject on this forum, made it 106 Miles and my Turbo went (I had another Runaway Engine but managed to stall it this time to save the engine). I replaced the Turbo with a used One, out on test run and engine started to seize - turns out the return pipe...

Hi All, Finally fixed this today. It was excessive blow by via piston 1 - basically when I had my runaway the engine did seize only on that Single Piston - there was a big chip ontop of the piston at the side, also the piston was scored. I replaced the piston - four complete sets of rings...

Hi Folks, I have been having a problem where my engine runs away at high speeds (2.0 L Series Diesel). A friend suggested adding some sort of tank as I have here and taking it for a run, it did not run away and felt a lot better but as you can see I have excessive oil recirculating. I am keen...

I have since been advised that the breather is the pipe coming from the Turret near Injector No3 ! If this is the case it was too obvious for me to notice..

Can anybody point me in the direction of a Turbo Rebuild Kit for my 1999 2.0 Diesel please?

The Turbo Seals just look like Big 'O' Rings - am I right?

Just found this elsewhere on this forum: But it isnt: I had my Injectors reconditioned - that solved a few problems with lumpy running. (£144).

Yes, when revving for prolonged periods - a few seconds. That's ok then - surely it shouldn't be difficult to change the Turbo Seals?

Hi Folks, You may remember my 'Runaway' incident when I first put this thing on the road ? if you don't remember the thread is HERE. So, I am ok at 'About Town' speeds but when I get onto a motorway I have nasty experiences - When I reach 70+ with my foot down I see the Blue smoke and the...
