Hi all, Appreciate if you can help me with this. My Freelander 1 TD4 dashboard screen (mileage meter) is dark so hard to read the numbers. Seems like the back light is illuminating but the screen is dark. Please refer the attachment. Any Ideas? Many Thanks,

Postage and tax is what I'm afraid of. Here, sometimes the postage+tax is more than the item's worth. Anyway, thank you very much for your offer :) Sorry, my mistake, missing zeros. Idle - 780rpm :- 28000 kpa No load - 2000rmp :- 58000 kpa With load - WOT :- 106000 kpa (before fitting the new...

I did not have the tools to remove an injector so I visited the garage yesterday. They had about fifty used engines imported for parts. Tried few injectors but most of them were blocked. Finally found one working. After fitting, starting seems fixed. However, if I accelerate hard, EML comes on...

Checked prices, Brand new Bosch or genuine injector - 240 £ Used injector (with one week warranty) - 120 £ Refurbishing the injector - 173 £ There's only one local place which can refurbish an injector and they need about a week to do the job ( including importing necessary parts as they don't...

Thanks Alibro & Nodge68, A garage offered me a injector from a engine they have imported for parts, for half price of a brand new injector (with one week 'drive & see' warranty). Is it worth? Removing intake manifold and all other seems easy compared to removing an injector. So I'm thinking of...

Seems like nobody cares :( Anyway I'm updating my findings hoping that someone would give me some advice. Again, starting became worse. Again I removed the high pressure line but it didn't work. Leakback test showed that 3rd injector is leaking. So I tried to remove the injector but couldn't so...

Hi Bignose, Could you please tell me what resolved your problem? I'm having a similar problem with my 2003 TD4. Many Thanks, Hiru

Hi all, After disconnecting and reconnecting 3rd injector fuel line, starting issue is resolved. I don't know why but it must be the same reason why the starting was better after refitting everything four months ago. May be air trapped in common rail. I'm monitoring starting time, if it become...

Hi all, Sorry I could not post here as I had my wedding :) Over the last 4 months since I check & refit everything, starting has become worse gradually, now it takes more than 20 seconds to start. Since my pocket is slim with wedding and all, I cannot afford replacing parts without making sure...

Thank you very much Nodge68 for your guidance :) More things to worry about. Rear door window mechanism has stopped working. When trying to open the door, the glass shattered to pieces :(. Looking for a replacement. I will check the EGR and others as time permits.

Oops :-o Mine never goes that far. Yesterday morning I disconnected MAF and tried. Starting was not perfect but better than before (about 4 sec cranking). Plugged it again and no difference. So I applied some contact cleaner and plugged it again. I did not have the tool to remove MAF sensor for...

Hi, I don't have a professional tool but a cheap OBD2 connector + Android App. MAF sensor reading is about 12 g/s in idle and increase when accelerating (40 g/s @ 3000rpm). So I guessed it is working fine. Is it not enough? :) I checked the dipstick and no oil/air comes out even when...

Hi Nodge68, Thanks for your kind input. I checked the MAF sensor reading from OBD, it seems ok. EGR is cleaned and refitted. The high pressure fuel pump regulator - Is it the sensor which is fitted at the end of fuel rail? It was cleaned and re-fitted at the garage. No sign of leakage seeing...

hi friends, This is my first post to the site. I have had many helps from your posts that I managed to resolve many of the issues I had with my Freelander. But now have a bit complicated issue that I could not find any solution and hoping you will be able to give me some insight. I have...
